Global Financial Disaster Hits 'D List'

Celebrities could be the biggest losers following the latest collapse in financial markets. Sheryl, Jade and lovely Ben, could have lost their tight fitting shirts had they put their money into the biggest stock market losers of the last week.

A £300,000 celebrity investment in Lehman Brothers, made just last week, is now worth only 0p.

Westend musical stars are thought to be most at risk with fears that some will never be able to hit their high notes ever again.

Reality television stars, especially ones from Big Brother 9, are also thought to be at high risk.

What could be the worst celebrity financial trading conditions in living memory may mean that many of the public's favourites may never be as rich and glittery ever again.

World's Largest Insurance Company Now 87th

AIG, once the world's largest insurance company, was, at the time of going to print, now the 87th.

An expert who watches insurance companies going up and down the tables, Sir Harry Meldew, explains:

"AIG had been at the top of the table, the pick of the crop, the pinnacle of insuranceness, for a time, but the moment it fell straight to number 10 in the list I knew something was up, down."

Insurance football specialists who have also been watching AIG noted:

"We are seeing the beginning of something monumental here today. AIG, like Northern Rock, was a sponsor of a Premiership side and simply because of this their outlook now looks bleak. There is no such thing as coincidence in these markets, everything effects everything and everything is terrible."

World famous football company Manchester United have AIG as shirt sponsors. Manager Sir Alex Ferguson was unable to give us a comment as he had just 'nipped to the loo'.

Central Banks Pump 10 Gazillion Into Financial Markets

The Bank of England and the European Central Bank, pumped gazillions into the financial markets this morning in a desperate attempt to help spray down the rampaging flames of destruction with paper money.

Money, some as young as two days old, sloshed about the markets helping to lubricate.

Banks, some older than 200 years old, clamoured for the gazillions of money and thanked the Central Banks in an Oliver type way, asking for more in a sheepish manner.

This continuingly building disaster in the making has sent some bank and insurance company shares to unbelievably low depths of deepness, with widows and orphans unlucky enough to be holding those shares being told by the market 'you idiot for owning these shares you deserve to die'.

Meanwhile, the Governor of the Bank of England, has written to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to tell him that inflation is above the 2% target rate again again:

My Darling, sorry, inflation up again! Must dash, Regards Merv xx

Financial Armageddon Hits New High Lows

Shares crashed by as much as 3% today as the all encompassing world panic engulfed women, children and besuited men drenched in sweat as financial Armageddon gedoned and nobody knew where to turn to to avoid having their heads shorn violently from their shoulders by the monster that is financial markets.

Oil prices, once seen as robustly above $100, even plummeted by as much as $2, and in some cases $3 to $93.53.

Houses, sometimes as high as £165,000 slumped to £164,000, and £163,500 in some places. A new low not seen since 5am yesterday.

Speaking on the telephone, a palaeontologist with a pension plan told us:

"This is the worst financial crisis of the last billion years. Not since dinosaurs became extinct have we seen the markets as jittery as this."
