    Be grateful you're not me. It's damned hard work keeping up this "woe is me" front you know!

    Cheer me up - remind me again why the economic climate is great, everything is great and is just about to get much, much better.... :)

    In about 5 billions years the Sun will have used up all its hydrogen and will start burning Helium, swell up and consume the Earth. At some point after that, the entire Universe will either peter out into a sparse, cold, lifeless void, or collapse into a single, immense black hole where all matter annihilates.

    You've got your family and your health......

    Everything else is secondary.

    I completed the FIFA level 5 refereeing course and passed the test yesterday. Strictly speaking, that qualifies me as an Assistant Referee but the level 4 course only takes a couple of hours and I'll do that before the start of the season in February.

    Some people prefer to be happy for what other people have done rather than for what they have done themselves. I was giving that option to carolt.

    Amongst many temporary, unsustainable policies IR's can only go one way, which will be good news for house prices. Just have patience. If transactions were at 90k+ per month and rates were already at 5% and we were hearing what we've been hearing in the media for the last 8 months, FTB'rs would be screwed, they aren't though...... reason enough for a smile :)

    Hang in there, 'good things come to those who wait'.

    Carolt I wish I could find the link but I do remember you making a post about how you "thought it was about time we had a recession". Well you've got the recession you wanted and you're still not happy. Go figure?
