Christmas retail numbers will be better than last year and things will pick up in the spring when everyone wakes up.

Baby steps.

Well the people in the dingy didnt look over happy.

Reckon its gonna take a while longer to pick up TBH in certian sectors.

Still .... They will always need Oil ... And the second biggest oil reserve ever found is up near Fort Cracker ...

Flame suit at the ready: I hope the price of oil rockets up ..

Ross, I noticed it's at $73 for light sweet. That is nudging up. A healthy $85 and you'll be working here again I bet. Heat from Copenhagen will wane and the Chinese will need more crude than ever soon once we start buying all their crap again.

Hope you make it to Fort Mac to make some $$$ again soon.

Aye cheers Fella More money than you could shake a stick at ..

Was sitting at around 82 when I first went over .. Mid 2008 it went up to over 100 a Barrel during the spring/summer. You will remember that i bet? $1.40ltr local for gas ... Dont wanna see that happen again tho.

Hopefully get this crappy 09 out of the way then fresh start.

P.S whats the weather like? ... Hit -32c in the Valley yesterday ... Brrr

Mixed bag for me. Moved in with the OH, got a nice little house in a good area for reasonable money.

But she hasn't managed to find a full time job since graduating as a teacher, I got made redundant which put me behind on some bills which I am only now catching up on, and last weekend both our cars broke down

There's been other stuff along the way but overall it's been pretty tough. There's plenty out there who have had it much, much harder mind, and it's just a case of getting on with it, not moaning and keeping your chin up

2010 is already looking up.

Got a job offer today that should allow me to feed my Cosworth disease quite handsomely. Woohoo!

E55DGU will be MINE.
