dont want to end up like the zimbabwean's with the pound loosing all of its value, maybe its time to start looking at investing in gold and silver

Without fail, if tefal posts anywhere, you quote him and belittle him.

Are you pals?

That's a very difficult thing. There's a lot of money already invested in gold and silver. Some people (like me) believe that there's a bubble there, and when people start to get out the price will crash hard. It's a risky investment.

But also savings are a risky investment, because if the currency you save in devalues relative to other commodities then you've lost money.

Not just a better country, it would have saved us so much money if we didn't enter the crappy war that no one wanted to happen anyway.

No, mistakes of the two previous governments, not just the last one.

The public was in favour of the war, at the time.

On a side note Alex, do you ever feel as if you're in an incredibly small minority in the West of Scotland, and that everybody else is a socialist and fantasist?

Try leaving Hamilton for Govan and you feel like a millionaire to be honest

or go the west end and feel like a peasant.

The war is happening to control the resources over there.

Wars are always about resources and how to gain as much of them as possible.

Mistakes? Wearing an odd sock to work is a mistake, what they did was a disaster.

Just don't spend anything other than what you really, really need. What I am doing.

Bloody petrol prices are insane, I just learnt to drive a year ago, paid about 2k for insurance and another 4k on the car. Not cheap!

Getting my PC up and running, anything else I need for my PC and that's it for my year!!!

I'm not a big fan of how this country is ran at all, it seems money is spent too much in areas which are not deserved, you see it in the papers etc, how much councils pay for certain things (silly amounts)..
