Suggs Speculates in Hong Kong

And now it�s time to answer the question that�s been on everyone�s lips �What has ex-madness singer, Suggs, been doing this week?� Suggs is with me now in the studio. Suggs, what have you been up to?
Well, this week, Mark, I inadvertently nearly caused the Hong Kong stock market to crash.
That was you was it.
Yes, that was me, I was worried about the Economic prospects of the Hong Kong futures markets, and so I sold all of my investments in that area...
So?
I would have thought it was patently obvious, Mark, as, a presenter of my own show on channel 5, plus being an ex-member of a top pop band, I wield considerable influence in the financial markets.
Right. You�re saying that by selling your Hong Kong equities, you caused speculators to follow suit, causing an almost unprecedented fall in the market level.
Yes. See, I am the best.
Wait a second, didn�t the crash also have something to do with interest rates in Hong Kong, I thought they rose to 500% or something?
Oh. Did they? Oh yes, er, I remember now, that was partly my fault too, you see, I was talking to my close personal friend, Jenny Powell, of Wheel of Fortune Fame. I was joking, as one does, about Hong Kong�s appalling economic policy, and I said sarcastically, �hey, why don�t they just increase the interest rate to 500% and some Chinese prime minister or something must have overheard�. With my importance, and Jenny�s valuable number pointing skills, they must have immediately adopted this policy.
That seems likely enough, if a little irresponsible. You should use your power for good, Suggs, remember that. Well that�s what Suggs was doing this week
Goodbye <sings in background �Browned my Trousers� over & over, then �hey, Mark, you�re not fading me down are you?�>
