With the current oil strike in Scotland affecting the economy; I'm wondering what effect this will have at the petrol pumps in the UK.

Do you think that the fuel companies will use this as an excuse to push petrol prices up further? and what do you think the longer-term effects of this are likely to be?

Shell and BP have made billions in profit over the last three months, so I don't understand why petrol prices are rising, and of course it is leading to spiralling food prices too. Is it just greed? It is even more infuriating when you think of petrol in terms of gallons rather than litres! Tonight my local radio station is reporting that there is a peaceful protest going on at an oil refinery near here, about fifty people apparently taking part. I am surprised there havent been more protests.

Me and my Mum were discussing this in the fucking taxi on the way home from Netto, doing our little shopping fiasco's, and I said I'd have something poignant and that reminded me of good times, but that was truly indulgent. Fuck the calories, your not going to be fat for much longer. I'm still not too sure as to what I'd have, but it's between a curry of some sort, with tzatziki as a side-dish (my Mum makes it like a bitch), and I'd DEFINITELY have a hot pudding, with chocolate, cream, custard, fudge, marshmallows, thousands of pick'n'mix and jam, and everything indulgent! Then I would sneakily take a giant laxative dosage, and have the shits on the injection table, as my final 'Fuck you' ^-^
