I'm going to have to cut back buying from overseas. Now I will just buy from overpriced UK distros instead
The £ has plummeted in value of the last few weeks. It was £1 = $1.95 odd in the glory days of the summer, now it is down to under $1.50 to the pound. £ to EUR is even worse!
It has certainly made me think twice about getting that Mystifier boxset

I recently got laid off from my construction job. The company i was working for (Parson's) apparently didn't have all the permits for the work site that i was at. So they let some of us go. Fuck i'm pissed. I loved my job but because they fucked up we have to pay the price! Looks like i won't be buying any cd's at least for a little while. I hope i find a new job soon so i can purchase more metulz!!

You seem to forget that the economically strong countries are only strong because they leech from the third world countries.Avenger wrote:Lets have all the third world countries gain the benefits and leech from those that are actually economically strong.Black Axe wrote:Universal currency FTW.

Universal currency would mean bankruptcy of the US, so this will never happen anyway.

I don't see many effects to this so called "economic crisis". I think it was more of a scare to get people to vote.
Everybody seems to think they lost their money in the stock market, but as long as your shares are there, it will go back up.
Gas prices are as LOW as they've been in probably 7 years!!!
I see people spending TONS of money when I'm out shopping for my domestic stuff.
You have internet connection in the comfort of your home, you're not starving, you have heat, clothes, and metal right?
The holidays are coming up, we're all FORCED into spending money now...

Yeah, I got to find some decent CD/LP for my brother and he'll have to do the same for me. This has been our little stupid tradition since 1983 when I got Shout at the Devil (which I traded for Maiden Japan one or two years later) from him and he got On Parole from me. Man, it's getting harder each year (keeping track of one another's record collections). Other than that: Fuck the holidays!Shadow Kingdom wrote:The holidays are coming up, we're all FORCED into spending money now...
