    Not quite on topic, but it remembered me of a topic here for a long while back, about a disappointed Polish student who had travelled to the UK to study.

    As for the recession - it's just a word for me. Have felt nothing; know no one who have felt it.
    Runes for good luck:

    You live in Norway, it explains it...

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Kinda reminds me of the Fall of the Roman Empire, as more wealth flowed to the East in exchange for silk/jade/spice, the West was less and less able to cope with migrating groups who eventually overwhelmed them.

    Luckily that was a thousand years ago...

    Have you just been dumped?

    I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

    Hasn't been felt much here in Australia, more like a bit of choppy water than a storm. The unemployment has risen from 4% to 5.7% *shock* *horror* The press is still acting like we're screwed though

    Yeah fortunately we have a fairly pro-active government actually willing to put us into deficit... I really am so glad Howard was defeated at the last election because I know his entire solution would've been spending and tax cuts. And yeah... press beat-ups here are ridiculous.

    Also - it sounds like the University experience in Romania is the same as University here. Love it

    I haven't felt it here in Mexico.

    What am I going to do next? Buy a new laptop.



    Hehehe someone here suggested that the reason we don't find the recession to be that bad is because we have always been in crisis, so now we know how to handle them.
