Bank cuts growth forecaset to pffft

From the BBC:

The Bank of England has cut its growth forecast to close to pffft from about meh predicted in May, as the damn-and-blast. The quarterly inflation report indicated no tee hee hee for 2012, compared with yadda yadda predicted a year ago.

The data had fuelled anticipation for
ahem, but Governor Sir Mervyn King dismissed calls for ahem in the near term.

He said recovery hopes had consistently been
AAARGH.

"The big picture is that output's been
sheesh for two years, and has continually bleurgh expectations of hooray," he told a news conference. "We are blubba blubba and rumble rumble from the achtung ola merci beaucoup," he added. "Unlike the Olympians YEAH! YEAH! our economy has not yet whoo-hoo!"
