A mate of mine has lost his job as a direct result of the current economic downturn - the idustry he worked in (haulage and truck sales) has been hit really hard and he got made redundant a few weeks ago.
So how has this affected me? he now no longer has use of of two season tickets at Anfield, so I don't get to go the match anymore :(
Life isn't worth living.
Though me and the missus have come up with a way of beating "the crunch" - we are getting better paid jobs. She got one with a 50% pay rise, I'll hopefully be getting one with a 40% rise in the next month or so *fingers crossed*, both within the NHS. We're also going to buy a bigger house, because our cuurent house is in the bracket that has been least affected and the next rung up has been hit fairly hard...

...just imagine the numbers '0-0' or '1-1' depending upon who we're playing (0-0 for bottom half of the table, 1-1 for the top) as the final score, stand outside for twenty minutes at approximately half time and then go back in and consume the barely-warm foodstuff you prepared an hour earlier for that authentic 'Anfield' atmosphere you desire. Still, at least 'Nando's back. Oh, and good luck on the money increase too.
