      I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told.

      I am worth nothing. Just like last year and the year before that.

      That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
      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.

            ******* hell. I thought I’d had a bad 2009. Tell you what, you should join Churchill and me; we’ve got this deal with a Nigerian aristocrat to help him get some of his money back and you might earn all that back quite quickly.

                worthless or worth less

                I am currently worth £70 per day less right now than I was last year. The up side of this situation is that I am worth £70 per day less until December - as I have a 11 month contract. Which is nice.

                    I like the idea of creating the depreciation thread Does it mean anything if I say I don't mean anything?
