No One Expects The Spanish Acqusition!

As Tim discovered, I've been nationalized by the British Government and a Spanish bank

The government on Monday confirmed it was nationalising Bradford & Bingley after hammering out a deal with the Spanish bank Santander, which will buy the embattled UK mortgage lender’s £21bn deposit book and branch network for about £600m.

I wonder if this means they'll play Tapas at my funeral?

You better get on the phone to Rosetta Stone and get those Spanish language tapes!

Best. Post title. Ever.

(At least I can laugh about SOMETHING in this whole sad mess.)
