This is very good. Mark Hoban, the shadow parliamentary secretary to the Treasury, has dug out the Treasury's figures for staff illness caused by stress.

It shows an intriguing trend.

Here are the figures:

Jan - 198 working days lost to stress-related illness
Feb - 163
Mar - 155
Apr - 123
May - 168
Jun - 192
Jul - 131
Aug - 129
Sept - 84
Oct - 121
Nov - 85
Dec - 89

As James Kirkup of the Telegraph notes, 'that suggests a significant decline in stress at HMT since the middle of last summer.'

Just as, of course, our new chancellor took over. I always thought Alistair Darling was a nicer chap than Gordon.

Yeah, I was pretty happy with this solution. Threading is one of those things that, overdone, can cause your life to be really miserable. But when you need it, it's a life saver.

Avatar is really a 'Must see' film, modern, along with unusual picture . It will likely be considered by many cinema goers as yet another milestone in the past of the art. The grade of realistic look obtained is amazing, and though the film is relatively prolonged in real time, it stores it's exhilaration and retains the viewer's interest to the conclusion.Actions are great, but this is not the type of movie that dwells on huge star value for that actors, though Sigorney Weaver really does stand out and delivers a really persuading performance, as do the rest of the cast. But as there is so much entertainment and motion benefit on display screen a persons element does not dominate in the typical way.
