Does the UK government have a sense of humour?
As the country's economic problems begin to bite they've appointed a new member of the Financial Services Authority.
His name? Mr Pain.
Think I'm kidding? See the press release for yourself.
Has Roger Hargreaves joined the public appointments committee?
Look out for further new appointments soon - Mrs Gloomy, Mr Grumpy, and Little Miss Redundant.
But does the downturn mean we'll be seeing many more Mr and Mrs Start-Ups? I think so. I'll be writing more on that soon.
