And alot of speed cameras? I have been stopped by the police several times and talked my way out of it except the once(he was young and keen!). But cameras cannot be argued with.

They can however, be seen!

Have you tried specsavers?

Life's a bitch, innit?

I put it down to attitude and luck.

I am sure I read somewhere there are a million people on 9 points.

Nope, I've been stopped for speeding a few times but never prosecuted.

I tried the "find the cheapest" gas(petrol) option on 90210 - the only zip-code I know.

$4 per gallon. Even though their gallon is smaller than ours, $4 a ******* GALLON?

$3.88 where Mrs EO is... Which I calculate to be about 54p per litre

Aren't most people these days?

"Imagine if gas were $10 a gallon"
I initially thought you said $10 a barrel, and thought that's cheap.

Yes for the first time in my life I drove 200 miles at 70MPH to save fuel. It was like slow motion. And seeing all those cop cars knowing there was no way they were going to pull me over seemed surreal.

Here here - I used to have my display at miles to empty tank but now it is instantaneous mpg. Get about 20% more by driving more smoothly (gf loves) and keeping to constant 60mph - plus have the odd blast for a bit of fun.

But there were mutterings about going on strike again.

They should make their minds up.

Don't know about any of the above, but I'm sure the roads are noticeably quieter since the recent price rises. Anybody else see this?

What's happening about that strike in the Scottish oil refinery? I haven't heard a squeek, but at the same time I don't recall them settling their dispute and going back to work.

The BBC has spent the whole of the ‘World at One’ programme on this issue. I have found the BBC, particularly the TV 6 O’clock news, to be an excellent contra indicator for many markets. So we might be near a short-term peak.

Think of all the good karma though!

Actually this (slightly PITA) previous client still keeps threatening to go big time with the system I wrote for him, so there's always a miniscule chance that my helping him with his problems will pay off.
