Seems like the world is at a bit of a disconnect in different regions if that is the mood in UK. Asia's "air" still definitely seems in a half full rather than half empty cup mode looking into 2008 and 2009, despite the recent market movements.

It seems the Oil and Gas industry's year (or at least Apache's) started well too. Prices remain high. Lots of exploration activity scheduled and already good early finds.
