    - things became cheaper for the still employed.
    - Great phrases like "There's a recession on dont you know" & "where's my Nama"

    Positive:
    I'm not into material stuff anymore!
    Negative:
    I'm developing a split personality borne from stress and negativity. His name is Leroy and he's a 6 foot 8 convict from louisiana who is a response to the intense anger and frustration I feel from being trapped in a country sold down the river by our ****head politicians and our ****ing bastard bankers. Leroy wants to **** them bankers in the ass. Take off your damn pants Seanie! Suck Leroy's dick Bertie!

    One positive is that the positive threads don't last long, and we can get down to what we really enjoy, the long-winded negative ones that drag on for 3000 pages.

    Just the general bringing-back-down-to-earth of a few muppets who just loved to parade their obscene wealth.

    Great one to avoid forking out on things you'd normally unwantingly feel obliged to :P

    The art of haggling is now acceptable again, I even haggled a hotel a few months back. Three years ago if I tried it they would have barred me from the hotel.

    The smug ones that now realise that having their head up their own arse is pathetic(and frankly smelly:D)

    Enjoyed watching FF downfall at the GE 20 seats is still too many.
