Lest I forget, I wish to wish all my Editors, my readers and my friends for all the support they gave me. This website has bought me new friends, most of them unseen except on the internet, but yet I feel so close to them.

What will 2009 bring us? New depressed logos of Banks and bankers? Al-Zeidi shoes becoming a brand icon?
The year flew so fast. Few more sleeps and you are in a new year.
The first advice I received was a nice one for the year to come. Simply put it says: Forget the past, learn from the mistakes and investments, and move on. It is easy to say but hard to accept.
The invitation to the Bush Farewell Party will be an interesting one. Generally an attire is mentioned in an invite such as Formal or Semi formal or so on. The Bush invite attire is SHOE LESS.
THE FINANCIAL CRISIS
Things are so bad that according to a red light district girl failed businessmen are now having sex with their wives.
EVER SINCE I WAS LOST MONEY IN THE FINANCIAL CRISIS, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF MY CREDITORS UNDER MY BED AT NIGHT.
SO I WENT TO A SHRINK AND TOLD HIM . . . 'I've got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there's somebody under it. I'm scared. I think I'm going crazy.. .'
'Just put yourself inn my hands for one year,' said the shrink.
'Come talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.'
'How much do you charge?'
'Eighty dollars per visit,' replied the doctor.
'I'll sleep on it,' I said.
Six months later the doctor met me on the street. 'Why didn't you ever come to see me about those fears you were having?' he asked.
Well, Eighty bucks a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! A bartender cured me for $10. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and will now invest some more!'
'Is that so?' With a bit of an attitude he said, 'and how, may I ask, did a bartender cure you?'
'He told me to cut the legs off the bed! - Ain't nobody under there now!
BMW NEW POST CRISIS CAR
It's finally arrived folks... and it's not the coming apocalypse. MINI has released the first official images of the Crossover Concept, proving that BMW not only has a sense of humor, but that it's serious about bringing an all-wheel-drive MINI to market in 2010.
Measuring about six inches wider and taller than the Clubman, the Crossover Concept features a five-door body style, but that's where the similarities end. The right rear door has a conventional hinge, but the left door slides out and back, minivan-style. The rear hatch ditches the Clubman's dual doors and is instead fitted with a single panel that opens to the right. Sources suggest that the concept's door arrangement might be nixed in favor of something more traditional when it reaches production.
