    We might be out of the woods by 2009.

    Unfortunately the Mayan Calendar predicts the End of the World in 2010.

    Perfect.

    You'd think so, but given the paucity of credit there are too few buyers to support current levels.

    Sentiment also plays a big part - if people are in the mindset that prices will fall they are going to be reluctant to buy no matter what rental value they can get.

    American football embraces the Lingerie League

    It used to be that the only flesh showing on the field in American football was the pigskin. Then came cheerleaders, beer and hot-dogs to quicken spectators’ heart-rates.

    Now fans - male ones at least - are looking forward to the ultimate in fantasy football with the creation of the all-female Lingerie League, featuring maximum glamour and minimum clothing.
