Mind on other things nej, kinda put everything else into perspective, including money.
As for the footie, a couple of our neighbours were in our local pub last night, Spurs supporters, totally gutted and devastated they were, certainly wouldn't have rubbed it in. Commisorations my friend. Maybe next season.

Well I'll only be annoyed if you lose to Barca, otherwise it makes no difference.
Anyway, let's get the thread back on track... I'm liking what I see about the Dinar, here's hoping for a summer reval.

Thanks Adam,
Good to see you drop by as we all wait for the reval. With interest rates rising in Iraq, this is a sure indication we are close to peg, as this is tied directly to the economy, and as we know, when the economy heats up, so do interest rates, so it all fits.
Good luck to all, Mike

Cheers Mike, good to hear from you too. :0)
Thursday we might have a government!
Iraq's PM eyes deal on unity government
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's political parties inched closer to sealing a deal on a unity government as Prime Minister-designate Nuri al-Maliki sketched out the sectarian balance among parliamentary blocs, officials said on Monday.
The United States hopes the formation of a broad-based government will help quell a Sunni Arab insurgency and allow it to begin withdrawing its 133,000 troops from Iraq.
Maliki, a Shi'ite Islamist nominated as prime minister two weeks ago after months of stalemate following December's election, is expected to unveil a cabinet soon, possibly by Thursday.
Senior officials said Maliki, who has pledged to form a government of Shi'ites, Sunni Arabs and Kurds to stem violence, will announce at a news conference scheduled for Tuesday the distribution of ministries among parliament's four main groups.
"Tomorrow Maliki will announce which list gets which ministry. If all goes well, God willing, on Thursday we might have a government," a senior official in Maliki's ruling Shi'ite Alliance bloc told Reuters.
Ibrahim Janabi, a legislator from the party of secular former prime minister Iyad Allawi, said political parties were close to agreeing on how to share out cabinet posts.
"Tomorrow we will finalize what list will get which ministry," Janabi told Reuters.
Maliki has said he will pick non-sectarian and competent politicians for his cabinet, including for the key posts of interior, defense and oil, which in previous governments have been tainted by charges of political cronyism and sectarianism.
Minority Sunni Arabs have accused the Shi'ite-controlled Interior Ministry of running death squads against Sunnis and are demanding an interior minister not tied to militias, many of which are linked to Maliki's Shi'ite Alliance.
Oil markets and international investors will be closely watching Maliki's choice of oil minister, who will face the daunting task of resurrecting Iraq's crippled oil sector.
The United States harbors great hopes that a coalition government led by Maliki will avert a slide toward civil war, with Iraqi forces taking over the fight against insurgents.

Cheers all, not been a good month for us, but hey life goes on.
Anyhow, more good stuff going on. Now that Jaafari is out and boy did he bugger us all about and wasted 4 months at least Maliki is moving on at 100MPH. If Mahdi or Maliki had got in months ago we'd all be sitting pretty now. Not long to go though IMO.
Iraq's Shiite prime minister-designate Nuri al-Maliki may announce the country's long awaited cabinet on Tuesday, after almost five months of tortuous negotiations.
Maliki, who was nominated as premier last month, has said he would form his government by May 10, and is due to hold a press conference at 11 am on Tuesday.
According to the constitution, he has until May 21 to form the government, the latest stage in Iraq's political transition since the ousting of former leader Saddam Hussein in April 2003.
On Monday Shiite lawmakers said the leaders of the rival parliamentary blocs were close to finalising the line-up, which has been the subject of bitter wrangling since the December elections.
The leaders met President Jalal Talabani on Monday and discussed the final composition of the cabinet, although the crucial interior minister post was still undecided.
Incumbent interior minister Bayan Jabr Solagh has been strongly opposed by Sunni Arab politicians who accuse his ministry of operating death squads involved in extra-judicial killings of Sunni Arabs.
Exploiting the power vacuum, insurgents have stepped up massive attacks across Iraq that have left hundreds of people dead.

Maliki: Iraq's new cabinet almost ready
Iraq’s PM-designate says he is opening doors for armed rebel groups to join political process.
Iraq's prime minister-designate Nuri al-Maliki said Tuesday that the line-up for country's first permanent government of the post-Saddam era was almost ready, after months of tortuous negotiations.
"We will finalise the cabinet today or tomorrow and will present the new government to the parliament this week," he told reporters.
Iraq's rival political factions have been wrangling since the December election over the shape of a new national unity government which it is hoped will help quell raging sectarian violence and rein in the Sunni-led insurgency.
"This is a government of all Iraqis and not of one sect," Maliki said. "Iraqis have suffered enough under the Saddam Hussein regime and they now need a strong unity government."
Maliki said the cabinet was "90 percent" ready and the candidates for the heads of the five key ministries - interior, defense, oil, finance and foreign affairs - had been finalised.
"The candidates for the interior and defense ministries are independents and not from any major political party, nor do they have any links with any militias," Maliki said.
Iraq's interior ministry, currently led by Bayan Jabr Solagh, a Shiite, has been accused of operating death squads which have engaged in extra-judicial killings of Sunni Arabs.
Solagh himself is a member of the Supreme Council of Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI), a hardline Shiite party which operates a well-organised militia, the Badr Brigade.
Iraq's numerous Shiite militias have been accused of killing Sunni Arabs in the sectarian bloodshed that has killed hundreds of people since the bombing of a revered Shiite shrine in February.
Maliki, who was selected last month after Sunni Arab and Kurdish groups opposed outgoing premier Ibrahim Jaafari staying in office, said the leaders were giving the final touches for the new cabinet.
"I will meet some more candidates for other ministries in these two days and I have the confidence to solve the remaining issues and go to the parliament," he added.
Maliki had said he would form a government of national unity by May 10, although under the constitution, he has until May 21.
The formation of the government is the latest stage in Iraq's political transition since the ousting of Saddam in April 2003 by US-led invasion forces.
The United States is hoping that a broad-based government will help curb the daily bloodshed and pave the way for the withdrawal of its 132,000 troops stationed in the country.
Maliki said he was opening the doors for armed rebel groups to join the political process.
"If there are people who carried weapons to fight the political process but do not have blood of innocent Iraqis on their hands, I am ready to talk to them and ask them to surrender their weapons and invite them to join the political process."
President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd, has held a series of dialogues over the past few months with seven armed groups which have been fighting the US-led occupation of Iraq.
Maliki said he was not party to the Talabani talks but added: "I am now ready to talk such groups."
Insurgent attacks and inter-communal violence has left hundreds of dead, as armed groups exploited the political vacuum since the December 15 election, the second election for parliament since Saddam was toppled but the first for a permanent government.
Hundreds of bodies of men shot dead execution-style have surfaced across Iraq in tit-for-tat Shiite-Sunni sectarian killings.
On Tuesday two delivery men working for an Iraqi army catering service company were kidnapped in northern Iraq, while the beheaded bodies of three army soldiers were found in the south, security officials said.
