    Pound again in free fall

    1.8 to the Swiss Franc.

    Is there any light after the tunnel?
    I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

    Alex Cartoon says it for me.
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

      On the down side, beer is now £4.50 a pint over here. I have to go across the border and get some from Euroland.
      Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Seems like a good time to work in Switzerland then!
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              How quickly and triggered by what forthcoming doomfest?

              I'm still trying to move stuff out of sterling and its nearly 7 cents down since I transferred the last tranche a week ago

              Its difficult to know what sinking ship to pick at the moment

                  This is great as I'm flying to New York tomorrow to celebrate my 40th. I guess the beer has just got that little bit more expensive.
                  Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                  I preferred version 1!
