    EBAY HAS A CAR SOLD EVERY 2 MINS, OR SO THEY WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE. BUT SURELY IN THESE RECESSION TIMES TO BAG A FRE FIESTA VAN WHEN YOU BUY A 2006 NISSAN ALMERA IS TRULY A BARGAIN. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS IT. HREARD THIS ITEM BEING MENTIONED ON THE GERRY RYAN SHOW THS MORNING TOO. ANY OTHER RECESSION SIGNS ON EBAY?

    Please remove the caplocks. In internet terms, it's equivalent to shouting.

    yeah if only i knew about this sooner, i could have cut out a brian cowen head from one of the lisbon treaty posters and would be sorted. im thinking maybe the 80's is the best way to go at the moment. as much as i love the brian cowen idea, i dont feel great about cross dressing. maybe a stock market crash? i could have lots of little stock brokers jumping off of me and the dow jones index on my face. i dont even know what the dow jones index is...
