The Russian Spy Who Sh**ged Me

Anna Chapman, the Russian spy, is getting her own website. Yep, she's famous now. She's the one who married a British guy and pretended to be a good little wife while all the time she was actually working towards her own secret goals... you know, like a wife.

MI5 have been worried that the temptress recruited sub-agents. Well, she's on Facebook, so there's probably some sort of app. Anna Chapman has installed sodium pentathol...

Here's a picture of her...



But let's be honest, there's only one way to see if the cold war has thawed, and that's to see if she looks cold in these topless pictures...

Bullion

After the recent financial troubles it must be tempting to think that we never should've dumped the gold standard.

In the old days gold was the standard by which all monies were measured. After the Second World War America dropped the gold standard and make the dollar the standard. And the dollar hasn't been that healthy of late.

Some people have said the Euro could be the standard of the future but after Greece needed to be bailed out by the rest of the Euro zone it showed the weaknesses in the pan-European currency.

For all that people say the gold standard should not have been dropped we have to realise there are physical limitations. Look at it this way, all the gold that has ever been mined has been estimated at around 142,000 metric tons. At US$1,000 per ounce the total value of all the gold ever mined would be around $4.5 trillion. That's less than the value of circulating money in the U.S. so you see that problem. And quantitative easing isn't possible under those restrictions.

However, the limitation on the amount of gold is a plus point if you think about gold as an investment. While supply is restricted and demand if free to grow the price will tend to increase. A quick look at the gold price shows is has been on the up for the last two weeks without a break.

With all this in mind it may be time to buy gold bullion. If you want to see more have a look at the www.usgoldbureau.com website.

Self-Tie Shoes

Sports giant Nike has taken out a patent of the self-lacing sneakers worn by Marty McFly in Back to the Future 2.

They would've been better off taking out a patent on a time machine. That's the thing with Nike, they don't see the big picture.

If you patent the time travelling machine, when someone invents it you get to make money from it, buy one, go back in time and patent the self-lacing shoe. It's win-win.

There's hope the self-lacing Nike could really be in stores by 2015 after Nike took out a patent for the technology involved in making them.

Really? Shoes that tie themselves? Aren't we obese enough yet? For some people putting on shoes is the most exercise they get.

Lap Dancing In The News

A study of lap dancers has found that one in four has a university degree.

That's a bit pointless. It's always nice to be the cleverest person in a room but if they can walk and not dribble they'd be smarter than all the blokes they work with.

The majority of women in the industry were attracted by the money after finishing school and gaining qualifications, according to the research. Most said flexibility was the main attraction of the job.

Hmm. Flexibility is the main attraction of the women too.

But the academics called for better regulation to improve dancers' safety, including the banning of private booths in clubs.

Dancers are also open to exploitation by the clubs, which can impose "unfair" charges or fines on them.

They'll be used to unfair charges because they have to deal with tuition fees these days.

Gold

Did you know, gold coins are back in fashion? I don't mean as some sort of accessory to a nice yellow dress. People are buying more gold these days as an investment.

If you have a look at www.usgoldbureau.com you can see what I mean. You can buy gold as a coin or ingot form. Gold has always been used as an investment because it is rare, it is easy to store and we all like the look of it.

Buying gold as an investment has been around for ages. It is the perfect way to express one's wealth and purchasing power. During times of economic instability people flock back to investing in gold as you have something solid that represents your money. While a company could fold and take your money with it, gold will always be gold. Prices vary but they never go down to zero.

Unsecured Loan

The credit crunch was defined as a time when the cheap and easy credit that was had got used to in recent times came to an end. Financial institutions didn't think we were a good gamble with their money. That's something of an irony because it was the financial institutions losing our money that caused all of these problems in the first place.

Using that definition, the credit crunch is now over. There is no crunch. There is credit. Thanks to websites like www.firstamerigo.com you can get Unsecured Personal Loans. You go to the website, fill in the online application, get your approval and then get the cash. How simple is that?

It is good that Unsecured Loans should still be an attractive product to financial institutions. Some companies have tried to avoid laying people off by asking staff to work fewer hours. That means we still have the means to pay back loans but we have an increased need for them to help us cover any short term cash flow issues.

So, if you want to know more about getting an Unsecured Loan have a look at www.firstamerigo.com to see.

Warranties

The trouble with some warranties is that you don't really need them. When you buy electrical items like DVD players they are now so cheap that if they break you could buy a new one for much less than you would spend on the extended warranty. Even items like netbooks and BluRay players, right now they are still expensive buy buy the time your item might break a replacement would be so much cheaper.

Other items like mobile phones can often be covered by your home contents insurance if they break, and the manufacturer's warranty often covers it without the need to buy extra cover from the mobile network provider.

But when it comes to your car the extended auto waranty makes sense. When your car breaks it is unlikely that you will be able to fix it yourself. You will have to pay for someone and that can be expensive. You don't be able to throw it away and buy a new one like a cheap netbook computer. If something goes wrong within the first few years it could reduce the value of your car when it comes to resale. With the extended car warranty you can get your car working again, it works out much cheaper and the investment in your car is protected.

If you are interested in such cover, have a look at the US Direct Protect website. They are a national seller of extended car warranties. They use some tailored software that lets you shop around to see what coverage would be best for you and your situation. So, you can get the best price for what you want.
