    Oil

    Bloody oil is getting to $100 and now $120-150 does not look impossible, heck even $200 is not impossible now.

    All of this crap is thanks to Iraq adventure

            I think current prices are all times high, even allowing for inflation.

              Unless you’re holidaying in the states and bringing back a hold all of TAG watches and Apple goodies, in which case its great!
              Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

                  If they were good presenters they'd be working on Radio 1.
