Oh come on... 90USc is still pretty damn good for the AUD!! :rolleyes: All this complaint about the AUD "plummeting" is an overreaction - IMHO anything at 80USc or above for the AUD is pretty darn good. Cos even with all their financial woes, the US economy still massively dwarfs the Australian economy, and the AUD has been overvalued for the 3 years. The Australian dollar has been artificially overvalued due to what CommSec's chief economist Craig James calls the "Steve Bradbury effect." ;) We ALL knew that the AUD would have to start dropping at some stage. I'm actually pleasantly surprised that the AUD is still holding out pretty strong and is declining steadily; as I said, 90USc is still a pretty good price for the AUD.
Remember what it was like in 2000 when the AUD dropped to about 40-something USc? Now that sucked! :( I made toys like Brave Maximus a lot more expensive; thankfully the Korean version came out later when the AUD had picked up to 70-something USc. Heck, 6 years ago I was massively stoked when the AUD climbed to 80-something USc and being extremely stoked about it (made MP Megatron cheaper than initially expected ;))! :D Seriously... doesn't anyone remember how exciting it was seeing the AUD climb to 80USc? :confused: Then there was the GFC which saw the AUD drop massively (at the time that Encore Omega Supreme, Metroplex and Gadep came out :().
AMP Capital's Shane Oliver predicts that the AUD will drop to the mid to high 80USc range. That's still bloody good! :eek: Okay sure, from an overseas buying and travelling POV, I can totally understand that a stronger AUD is better. I'm going overseas later this year too. But objectively speaking from an economic POV, the AUD is still doing jolly well! (not to mention that a decline in the AUD is good for Australian exports).
Sucks that they didn't copy it right but the fact they failed to copy things right is just hilarious :D:DQuote:

On friday i made fingers for depthcharge. but they are currently on the floor in the work space which i'm not gonna bend down for in any direction. To go with this i have tingleing in my right knee, but only left thigh at various times. i can sit but it hurts, so it looks like a good 3 days of lieing down. unfortunaty its pretty much day two and things haven't improved much, but being able to roll around is a good thing. it would be better if it was just all numb, but i can feel every misfire of command code and thats no fun.
Sounds pretty serious. What does the doctor say? Hope you get better soon.Quote:

XD i have not eaten since last nights dinner. cat just bit me.... i was thinking of throwing myself at a ciropractor sometime next week or getting a good massage. i hate being rubbed but i may have to put up with it. on a happier note i've decided to turn Sunstreakers feet into slippers.... (by now you think i'm on meds or something. i got nothing with codiene in it so i've got nothing to take :D happeh happeh joy joy.) yes ye walking transformer oven will be transformed into 1/4 slippers and couch cushions. (wish i was on something). My tyranid legs are coming along good. As all i can do today is craft... (maybe its the glue and the nerds...)... im really very hungry atm. i don't think nerds made it better. i have a headache. i now have a kid and a cat on my leg. the kid wants a Link costume... ... ...
