Clone him? Or just have him reboot like Dr. Who?

Should they not have thought about this before? It seems like a pretty obvious side-effect of him being blown up and killed that he would then be dead and unavailable for further adventures.

If I were the Bond producers I would have worked this out before I approved the bit where he dies.

I remember people saying this at the end of the 1980s.

Rains was blind in one eye after a gas attack at Vimy in 1916. He didn't go back to the front, but he served the rest of the war in a transport battalion back in England, becoming a captain.

All the reviews of the latest Wolf Alice album were about how Fleetwood Mac inspired it is.

I read Melody Maker in the mid-90s, though, and have no way of judging whether that's accurate or not.

Works fine until some foreign potentate gets up to pee at 4 in the morning and doesn't bother putting on slippers.

Pretty sure I've actually heard Where Is My Mind done like this.

It helps to update your personal settings. Tell it that you are only interested in high-confidence answers, with sources, and that it should never provide you with guesses. Tell it to remember those instructions for future sessions.

I highly recommend googling the speeches of Daniel O'Connell on the subject.

She put out a new album. It's about the breakdown of her marriage and astonishingly frank. She says it's only partly true, but still.

I'd love to see this chart going back into the 80s. The contrast between the UK and Ireland would be very telling.

Here's the 30-year

But it's always been the case that swaps are a cheaper way to play rates than bonds. That didn't change. What did change was the growth of supply concerns.
Interestingly, swap spreads have widened a lot recently. Possibly, that's in anticipation of regulatory changes for banks.

Ha! You're right, I was half asleep when I saw Tomas' chart last night and read it the other way. I totally buy that swap spreads are negative because of political risk.

It could be that, but there shouldn't be THAT much optionally in the IG index should there? Mostly bullets, I'd have thought.

Swap spreads are negative, so I would have thought the spread to swaps would be higher than the OAS spread to USTs.

Curious.
