Did I take a wrong turn >.> and end up in Texas? alas no its Lakeside!

One reason Best Buy has not done well is its too expensive. Very Simple. The range and stock is too small. The reason Best Buy was successful was that it's buying power meant it could be the cheapest and they sold volume. Typical American way of doing it, enMass.

We bought loads of DVD's from Best Buy - I even got my MiniDisc player from there. I wish I could do over for reasons unknown.

Having watched hot tub time machine I embarked on turning my shower into a time machine. Having bumped my head on the sink .... It did not give me the same effect as Doc Brown.

I'd still be there if it wasn't for the 2002 economic downturn. 150,000 to 55,000 employees 2 in 3 got fired!

Petrol is too expensive I could go exploring in the car, 89cents (50p roughly) was a good exchange rate then, a gallon for 89 octane in Texas now I'm paying 1.41 pence a liter £80 to fill up the above Volvo (300hp :p) Tarus like power.

Apparently Algae has lots of power in it, for use as an alternative fuel it could be interesting. We need cheaper power immediately!

9 dollars to 80 pounds. in 10years. though most of the increase has been in the last two. Probably doesn't help that the UK government keeps increasing tax (for no reason) I fail to see the point in increasing it so that we are better prepared in the future for increases thats complete utter nonsense. We have almost reached the breaking point already, any further increases and we will be completely screwed. I live pretty close to work so maybe its about time to get a bike or something.

Why doesn't the street look like this outside... aside from the Japanese letters >.> Would be fun. Why don't we plant more trees, why haven't we go more parks / for running etc. I feel like moving back to Sweden again, however the penalties for missing payments and stuff is insane they soon get the debt collectors. Example:

Hospital books you an appointment sends a letter, if you miss the letter or on holiday you could find yourself with a 300kr fine which is like 30 pounds /dollars (the exchange rate blows at the moment.) alas should you never receive this invoice as you're still on holiday or abroad (this happened to me twice) it goes to the debt collectors and then its up at 800kr 80pounds and soon gets higher though I have not heard anything recently since my complaining as lets face it I can't afford to pay that nor the 250pounds to vacuum a flat that my previous landlord wants or company. Its all a bit punitive really.
