  • Icelandic banks are using COD to honour deals, not Cash on Delivery but the fish which provides them with liquidity.
  • The mighty German Frankfurter Bank can no longer cut the mustard while in the far east The Origami bank has folded.
  • Furthermore Sumo Bank has gone belly up and Bonsai Bank has announced plans to cut some of it's branches. 
  • Yesterday it was also announced that Karaoke Bank, now for sale, will go for a song while shares in Kamikaze Bank have been suspended after they nose-dived.
  • Samurai Bank is soldiering on after sharp cutbacks and 500 staff at Karate Bank are facing the chop. Analysts report something fishy at Sushi Bank where staff may also get a raw deal.
  • More breaking news in France where Roquefort Bank failed to secure a compensation claim is a case of hard cheese and in Switzerland, to save costs Tag Heuer have gone cuckoo.
Enough already. Here's your prize: 60 seconds with the next leader of the free world, and the loser:
