I guess this is meant to make me feel better but I'm guessing you aren't a pet owner... All non-pet owners should probably go straight to the next post.
Right now I'm in pieces. I miss my cat.
I miss when I opened the fridge he'd come trotting along and have a sniff in there to see if there was anything that tickled his fancy...
I miss him sitting between me and the arm of the sofa purring away when I'm on my laptop...
I'm going to miss him when he's not there to finish the last little bit of milk after I have my cereal...

Time is a great healer but for the moment you probably won't see around much. I'm sure I'll be lurking but my normal (lack) of humour has gone AWOL.

At this moment in time I'd take £1:$1 if I could have my little man back

yeah righto Neilo
And your not Rugeley's biggest wind up merchant on these threads, for no reason....

we've all been told to 'dress down' all week here in the City, to avoid attacks from the Swampy Army !
as always lately with these protests, they come to nothing as the !!!!!!s are all too lazy to get here and do any damage....

Johnny, US GDP figure aparently released last Thursday.

Washington, Mar 26 (PTI) The US economy contracted at a stunning pace of 6.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008, the most in 26 years, as consumers cut down on spending and exports weakened.
The country's real GDP shrank by 6.3 per cent in the October-December period, the latest figures from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show.

The decline is higher than last month's official estimate of 6.2 per cent.

"Real gross domestic product - the output of goods and services produced by labour and property located in the US - decreased at an annual rate of 6.3 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2008," BEA said in a statement today.

The American GDP reportedly, has not shrunk as much since the first quarter of 1982. In the third quarter, real GDP dropped 0.5 per cent.

The recession in the world's largest economy deepened in the fourth quarter of 2008 in the wake of the financial meltdown, which saw the collapse of many financial institutions in addition to massive job losses. The economic situation turned worse last year after the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September.

US officially entered into recession in December 2007.

For the full year 2008, the country's real GDP rose 1.1 per cent against 2 per cent in 2007. PTI
