Happy New Year!
Not everything is doom and gloom, whilst there are a lot of businesses failing and going bankrupt, there are others who are having an unexpected sales boom. One of these, is the owner of the Istambul shoe company who produced the famous shoes which served as a missile to the Iraqi journalist Muntazar al-Zaidi who threw his shoes to President Bush. The shoe company who made his shoes, has been swamped with orders from across the world, so the owner of the company has had to hire 100 more workers to produce 300,000 extra shoe orders to meet the unexpected demand, model 271, which is four times more than their annual shoe sale. Orders have come mainly from the U.S. and Great Britain and from neighbouring Muslim countries. 120,000 pairs have been ordered from Iraq. A sharp rise in orders has been recorded in Syria, Egypt and Iran where the main shoe federation has offered to provide al-Zaidi and his family with a lifetime supply of shoes.Well, it is just a matter of time before someone produces a stilletto shoe, with a target seeking missile, to have the same sale phenomenom. Have a Happy New Year everyone !

A Happy New Year to everyone.
No reason to be gloomy? Maria...well while im never gloomy(mostly)I believe there is every reason to be unfortunately....the western world america and britain particularly is in free fall.Does anyone (apart from browny)seriously believe that borrowing billions and billions and billions is the answer?And if his veiled "threat" of introducing "quantitative easing" (what a quaint phrase!) comes to pass, god knows where we will end up. best book your place in the soup kitchen queue methinks,save your fag ends in a canvas sack,and stop feeding the birds and ducks and keep the bread for yourselves.........woe,woe,woe..thrice woe..the end is nigh..bring out yoyr dead!
