I didn't think it had even broken the 1 million mark. That country is fucked.


There was a column in the papers

about a journalist in Zimbabwe (on the quiet) who had dinner and several pints. By the ninth pint the waiter came back to the table to inform the party that the price of the beer had gone UP DURING THE MEAL. Fucked doesn't begin to cover it!


OK

now you've got me trying to think of some kind of movie scenario where the dude's who bought the second car from this story
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7499631.stm

wind up in just such a jam on the central African leg of there round the world road trip

Ask the driver how much petrol he/she's gonna use

then offer to split three ways straight. Can't fail. Won't be any more than a tenner either
