&lt;p&gt;Not sure much will fix our pensions! Only saving grace is the units bought this year will have been cheaper and their value will romp away in the recovery allowing us all a gold plated retirement with paid staff to peel our grapes for us and waft cool air over us with a fan!&lt;img src="https://www.vetsurgeon.org/emoticons/v2/Winking_smiley.gif" alt="Wink" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thats fine if you can afford to buy units in the recession.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My comment was tongue in cheek. My pension contributions in the last year have been three times more than the increase in the pension pot. Absolute waste of time in the short term. A comfortable retirement gets more of a dream every year!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thats ok then at least we should have a ready supply of scabby looking dogs to&amp;nbsp;beg on the street with and a good few sob stories to recall if they need treatment!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I predict we&amp;#39;ll all have a jolly good time, whinge a bit on the forums about what the RCVS has done this time (whatever they do), put up some good pics of some weird clinical case, and occasionally have a good discussion about what exactly some lovely mysterious malady is that&amp;#39;s presented with no money! :p&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Yep - it&amp;#39;ll be much the same as the last one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Except we&amp;#39;re&amp;nbsp; gonna be bored sh*tless by the interminable TV coverage of the ghastly and immensely tedious Olympics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(OK - I&amp;#39;ve got my tin hat on to deflect all those red stars...).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;LOL... no red stars from me; I&amp;#39;m just glad I live 400-odd miles away from London!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2012 will certainly be much better than 2011 - so that&amp;#39;s something to look forward to. &lt;/p&gt;
