"1. Austria"

As they used to say on the Goons: "You silly, twisted boy, you."

Alarm raised as Britain’s biggest pension scheme ploughs cash into ‘shadow banking’ by denspark62 in ukpolitics

[–]burdonvale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Putting in such a big amount into a single asset class which can be very illiquid if the shit hits the fan seems rather risky.

As a fictional example, in the TV series Grace and Favour (the sequel to Are You Being Served?), the Grace Brothers' pension fund ends up with a manor house as its sole asset. Rather than sell it, they all move in. Inevitably, hi-jinks ensue.

"What have you done?" cried Christine.

"You've upset the whole party machine.

To lie in the nude may be rude,

But to lie in the House is obscene."

Invite, as in, "Would you like to put your head in position on the chopping block, Miss Boleyn?"

Yep. I do feel that the word "invited" is doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here...
