Tell me about it ! But like you said it was good while it lasted, but then again, I remember when it was valued at 67 cents us, those were not good times for buying on Ebay...

You want to know what sucks? In July I needed 2.04 Polish Zloty to buy 1 US Dollar. Now, after the US banks have pushed the world into recession but Poland is still exactly the same as it was in July, I need 3.12 Polish Zloty to buy 1 US Dollar. So everything I buy on ebay has suddenly become 50% more expensive!

Well done

Not an expert, but if they imitate the voice of Sarkozy so well, they might do that with Palin's voice too.
I don't think these official calls are made without prior notice, or some arrangements.

Wow, the Canadian $ is almost at parity again. Not sure if that's a good thing nowadays, but it's time for Canadians to spend across the boarder again.

the petrodollars cycle has taken a real beating, good news for you Canadians, unfortunately our British economy is also connected to petrodollars and as we don't use euros as a currency base ourselves we wouldnt benefit if OPEC goes fully to dealing in euros :-( either way its grim for us

Its good news for sure, I hope it last so I can take advantage of it in the summer time.

I can sense the premium outlet mall north of me getting more and more busy....
