I have some time, and frankly I'm a bit bored, so I thought I'd research the old world of investing.

Hands up if you know what a gilt is?

I've read this and I still don't 😂

Essentially, it's just a bond.

You b***rd, now I've got to look up what a bond is 😂

Its what your parents pay to get you out of jail

Yes, or that😂😂.

I'm learning it has something to do with covalent chemicals 😂

Depends if its like water where there are no free radicals its stable, if its week it might kill a cat in a box but who knows?

But doesn't the government imprison all the free radicals?

Also, don't get me started about cats in boxes, I had a discussion with somebody on here about Donald Rumsfeld discussing the unknown known.

I tried to explain that you knew he was dead and you didn't have to open his box.

I know how to some it up then:

If the black swan is bonding in the box, can we know if Rumsfeld accidentally shot it?

Oh behave😂😂. It's just a simple government bond, you buy the bond (Lend government, money) then in X years they pay you back with X interest.

Or you have Premium bonds, which appear to be gambling using a computer called ERNIE invented in 1957

I'd feel gilty if I bought that shit now.
