The Tampa Tribune ran a story today saying how well Florida Casinos are doing. I would have to agree, I have yet to see a Blackjack table with a minimum under $50. I don't know where the money is coming from, probably from credit cards, but the tables are full non the less. Vegas casinos on the other hand seem to be taking a bit of a hit these days but what you need to consider is that the high rollers usually come out of market situations like this with very large profits. So I don't see them struggling to much in the future.

OMG! I'm jealous. The cheapest I can find around here is 3.75. I think I need to relocate

At about $10 a gallon driving in the UK is becoming a luxury

[Fonzi]

yeah, I think I'd be taking the bus or the tube.

While we're on the subject of the UK, is the Novotel London West in a good location? It's looks like I'll be staying there in January for a few nights.

[Dodgey]

Well, it's right by the Tube so you'll have no problems getting in and out of the center - though you are in the middle of a rotary - just don't plan to see anything nice around the hotel :-) Hammersmith is a bit of a dump but fine for just sleeping.

We got 2.5$ per liter , and were supposed to be an oilproducing nation!

Gas and Tobacco is the most taxed commodities here.
Unfortunatly i got a gasguzling american car. Lets just say i dont drive all that much.

EDIT: Ohh and the country is Norway by the way.

[Assistanc3]

Norway exports (#2), but doesn't keep any for reserve
and Norway is not a member of OPEC and therefore have limited say in setting oil prices.



those names on the right scare me, as they are the ones in control

[Sheidar]

hmm is it just me or does it seem like there is only "terror countrys" in that club ?

[Dodgey]

.. I dont' think you can include UAE and Saudi in the "terror club" (or Venez, Alg, Ang, Ecu, Ind, Nig, Quat, Kuw,)
