    So, prey tell, exactly what is there left to destroy?
    There is the population to exterminate and the land and natural resources to steal.

    ....and a "terrorist incident" will only occur sometime within the next 10 days as a last attempt by the GOP to get McCain elected.
    Inside job? Operation Northwoods? Controlled demolitions?

      Bit too conspiracy theory even to me.

      Russia, China and India are all collapsing slowly - just look at their stock markets.

      Russie NEEDS Europe and USA - it does NOT like them but THEY are it's consumers -

      China - Yes with over $1.9 Trillion in foreign Reserves you have a point - BUT it is in USD! If USD collapse China will be in severe problems. Yes they are trying to move to Euro's as their currency and have started paying for oil in Euros, but to offload that amount of currency will self defeating.

      India - Massive tragedy waiting to happen -

      China and India are around 18 months behind what WE are seeing now - but when it hits them - it will be VERY bad

        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!

          I'm waiting for my $9000 US cheque to clear, which is taking a couple of weeks with Abbey. I think the rate was about $1.75-1.80 when they got it so potentially the value of my cheque has varied by £800 during that time.

          Does anyone know what date they will choose to base the rate on? The day they receive it? The day it enters their system properly? The day it clears? I opted for them to only credit my account once the cheque had properly cleared from the US bank it was drawn on.

            good question, one thing you can guarantee is that it will be lowest rate in that period.
            I'm alright Jack

                All of your linked-to sites are nothing more than the psychotic ramblings of paranoid alcoholics, you know.
