Should I be worried about this whole THE FINANCIAL MARKETS ARE IN TURMOIL THE WHOLE WORLD IS ENDING ZOMG! thing? They seemed rather keen on covering it on Today this morning, I noticed.

I really ought to spend more time thinking about this sort of thing, so that I can understand it, but there's so many more things to do like sleeping, reading books, making beer and cuddling the wife.
