    I believe the yanks have names for some of their previous Recessions and got me thinking, what would we call ours?

    The Fianna Fail Recession? The Housing Bubble Recession? Or just the 2008 Recession (boring)?

    Most inventive idea shall receive 1 x Thanks from me.

    What should we name the recession? 180 votes

    The one where English people move to Ireland because they are sick of other English people bitching about the recession and can put up with Irish people giving out about it but not actually giving a crap about it.

    Not bad, but a little too bebo-like for the boards demographic. Besides come back in about 5 years when Steve has passed and you can slug it out with Dave for the next coveted title.
