Oh No! Why?

How come the £ has gone so low against the $ when it was the American banks who started the "Credit Crunch", which turned into the "Economic Downturn", which has now, or is apparently about to be, a full-blown "Recession", with their "Toxic Loans"? This seems so unfair! My Mericky friends, please don't take this personally, I'd have to go a long way to find a better bunch of cats and beans outside of the Cat Blogosphere, other, of course, than also all the wonderful cat-loving nationalities in there that I'm honoured to count as friends. Um, does this make sense? Probably not; I just hope you know what I mean.

Well, the British banks also jumped on the bandwagon and lent far too much... blah, blah, blah... We all know the mistakes the banks in many countries of the world have made. Only last year (and in many previous years) I was aghast at how much profit my bank, for just one, declared! I wondered, "Why is some of this money not being channelled into better benefits for their savers?" So where have all these billions of profits gone? Where??? Why, then, did the bank who had bought my bank out (as an apparently thriving concern) need to be bailed out to the tune of millions by the British Government? A bank whom, I must say, is "owned" by a country in the British Isles who wants to be independent...

Just wondering...

Luvya! ('cepting you banks!)

An Award and a Possible Adoption

Darling little Beethoven gave me this award. I feel honoured! Thank you Beethoven!

I need to pass it on to five bloggers, which is not easy because you all deserve it, but here goes:

The Cats P (okay, that's three, but it's just one blog, right?)

Fat Eric
Castle

DKM, Diva Kitty, Fiona and Orlando (okay, I know that's four)

Omer

Somecats may remember this picture from this post.

Well, Pinky has been doing some decorating and this is what that end of the room looks like now:

Better eh?!

Pinky says now he is getting the house sorted out he thinks he is almost ready to be owned by a cat again. Yay! The only thing is, much as he loves cats, he's worried about the responsibility, so any encouragement you can give him in the comments to this post (he reads them) would be much appreciated!

I hope evfurryone is having a great weekend:)
