Swiss Gold referendum...

I must say, this year...2014 has been the most interesting year so far. Back in September, we, The Scots had to decide whether to stay as part of the UK or go independent. Thankfully in the end, people saw sense and we're STILL part of the UK.
I grew up in Scotland BEING part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain...this in many respects is a huge privilege. Just for starters, the British Passport provides hassle free passage to most countries most of the time. Being part of a bigger country is more stable than being in a small country full of elderly and benefit (welfare) sponges...my reasons go on but I shall not dwell on it.

BACK to the main reason to this small post!

It is currently Sunday 1:06am and the Gold price is £745.56 per troy ounce and Silver price is £9.88 per troy ounce.

By this time tomorrow, there will be a decision on whether or not the Swiss banks will need to buy back 1500 TONNES of Gold at the tune of several Billion dollars at the current price.

I do hope the turn out will be a "Yes" and that Gold will need to be bought back and repatriated...I believe that any country wanting financial/economical stability should have gold reserves and that their currency is also backed by gold. This ensures that you can't just print paper "money" without more gold to back it...(if I've perked your interest...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyV0OfU3-FU)

On top of that I hope for two more things, the manipulation of Gold and Silver prices to implode and their prices to go to the point of where it should be. Equilibrium for the demand of these metals and the price has been offset...

Last night I have done what is the 2nd most craziest thing in my life...I have cut contact with the Karly for my sanity... It began at about 4pm during the day, Karly text me saying she's going to return some of my things...books and hoody etc...(at this moment in time, I had flash backs of the times we flirted, went out for walks and talks at her place...all the good stuff). I asked her what spurred this on so she replied she was "cleaning out her room and there's no point to clutching on to things." (my thought was - does this mean she thought of me as someone at some point? Or were you being nice by keeping them?) "Then why did you hold on to those things till now?" I replied. "What difference does it make whether I give them back now or two weeks later?" She replied.. I took it badly, if Karly knew this long ago then why did you drag this out till now? An argument through text happened. Couple of hours later we text each other again...

Its all coming back! :D

Oh Hell yeah!!!!!!!! Remember a month ago I screwed things over a bit with Michelle? After many messages and persuasion, I managed to be "dating her"...I'm not entirely sure what  actually happened... Last Wednesday we had a lunch date...then I asked if she wanted to come with me to look for a new car...I choose to go back to my old place of work (Citroen and Seat dealers), saw a good number of old colleagues and my old manager! We greeted and had a catch up...then they offered me AN ASS KICKING EPIC DEAL... So i bought a car...Seat Ibiza, 1.4litre engine...140 break horse power with a decent 60mpg......in black... Life is pretty sweet just now, (almost) girlfriend and new car...needing a flat to call home :)

Upon pondering

Am I happy with what I have? That depends on how you view the situation. I have a flat, I have a car that is paid off, I have a job that pays fairly, I quite enjoy my job except for the hours, I have an awesome girlfriend, I have a few flatmates and I live in the city! The flat is a humble 3 bedroom flat located in the suburbs of Edinburgh. It isn't the most flashiest of homes, I've been getting tradesmen to do work on it for me...windows...new storage space...gas cooker...door adjustments...painting of new door frame...new front door...a drive way and generally tidying up after myself. Being in the flat for 2 months with most of the necessary work almost complete...I can say it is becoming a place I enjoy coming back to after a day at work or somewhere to zone out and chill! Car...I love my SEAT Ibiza FR Black Edition. Sadly I am having trouble with everyone else, I live on a street where parking can be an issue and cars passing by can be very close...back in September some...
