Credit crunch is affecting blogging

well not all blogging which has increased exponentially, but my group of friends' blogging.

Well all of us have been working harder than any other time, traveled more than any other year and after all that... a wall. Solid wall.

The strange thing is that instead of being sucked by the various systems, politics, people and so on, we could all use our talent to suck the world. Still don't understand why we don't, but there are many things that my mind can't justify.

BTW next time anybody mentions the Mafia in relations to my motherland, I won't refrain to mention Wall Street.

The only positive thing about the credit crunch is that eventually dining out has been replaced by dinner with friends.
Food is 10 times better, you can stand up and walk around while waiting between courses.
You can sip different wines and drink 10 bottle of prosecco at the price of one.. ( because you know you get 40% off at the off license). Nice no?

ah cool.. see writing a blog.. it's good. Made me found the only positive note in my life at the moment... apart from getting spot on view on the latest market view ( but that's boring for you).

Went to one of those dinners last night... Wonderful...

Welcome drink:

Passion fruit & champagne cocktail

Starter:

Scallops with chilly sause on a bed of spinach leaves

Main:

Duck filled with asparagus, heavenly mash & rocket

Dessert:
Merengue with strawberry foam.
& dessert wine.

10 bottles of prosecco
3 white wine
6 red wine

And the host tests gadgets.. So.. it was heaven for me.
The night ended with vibrating massage device session, to spot what was the best.
Other funny moments included travel electronic skipping ropes...and running up and down stairs with walkie takie.


Now.. tell me if that is possible in Nobu?

Anyway she rocks..

"Listen, people. I know you all think Citi is on its last leg, about to be cast into the scrap heap of corporate history. However, I received some intel this morning which leads me to believe your worrying is for naught ("intel" = New York Post article). Meredith Whitney gave an exclusive interview to the paper in which she, not surprisingly, tore open Citi's rectum via her 8-inch spiked heel (this time not at their request). " ( from dealbreaker)

And... shall we want to compare animals here....

Two lamb/mutton references in the same day...?!

And can I point out that at least one of your friends has nobly continued blogging in the face of a wall of silence from everyone else.

Then again, my blog consists almost entirely of stolen photos of cocks, so it's not exactly a stretch.

Sigh...

It must be Easter... ops no! it's Xmas...
I'm thinking... might challenge Gina to travel with a castrated lamb in her luggage.. After all.. a small one is not that much bigger than two rabbits.
