You can't keep a good pound bound. There is no doubt that the pound is the only global currency which is performing better than the dollar. For all the bleating of the Swiss and our other noisy neighbours, the pound is going to leave them in the dust.

I'm channeling my profound, mind-bending grief into reading the Financial Times.

This is a much healthier alternative than my searing instincts beg of me. Thank you for your kindness and understanding along the way.

Loving the £

What a currency!

Honestly one of the top 5 in my book

I prefer the pound's earlier work.

Pounded in the butt by sterling.

The fuck is a sterling buck?

Ooh, my little pretty one, pretty one
When you gonna give me some Danish Krone?
Ooh, you make my motor run, my motor run
Gun it coming off of the Swedish Krona

Never gonna stop, give it up, such a dirty mind
I always get it up for the touch of the younger kind
My, my, my, I, yi, woo!
N-Norwegian Krone

...hang on, Maeby.

Been cackling as week by week the mighty £ on the comeback trail fucks and fucks and fucks the Czech koruna ahead of my fortnight in Bohemia and Moravia.

Hoping the pummeling will continue so I can extract full value from those pallid bogtrotters.

Return of the pound (once again)
Return of the pound (top of the world)

The entire economy seems centres around London's financial services, so the pound better be fucking ace again.

Missed my beautiful pound. I miss the days when £1 was $1.65 or something.

I went to canada when I was 8 years old and what little birthday money I had effectively doubled, it was fantastic

You could say the pound is passing the buck!

The FT is a good read.  It's journalism is designed to give you an insight into the world so you can make money from it.  Therefore it's a lot less emotive and mostly information that's been verified. It's not really something you'd read for entertainment though. Noticed the source of the graph from the FT is the Bloomberg wire service Their TV channel and website is also a very good news source.

Either way, it's probably much better for your mental health than the culture wars bullshit or meaningless celebrity idolisation

I'm glad for the pound. It's had a difficult season, Clive.

When i was seven, I dressed myself up as a little city gent and walked into the Bank of England shouting 'Fuck the Poond'

The Swiss Franc is hanging in there, the Pound has still got to go to Middlesbrough and get a result

The yen is capitulating - I've picked a great year to go to Japan. Does anyone want me to bring back a couple of temples or anything while they're cheap?

I'd be careful - they may suddenly have a cultural renaissance - and you can never tell which direction that'll go in.
