Little Woman, Cold it may be but nearly all the pains in my joints & bones have gone. Its GREAT! I'm running around like a Boldpup :)
We have got to get the boss back, the cleaner is going to leave today because of no pay. I looked in the cash register for a few bob but was surprised to find all of 32p, something that looked like a Euro and a safety pin.
Even the Champers is running low.
I blame a mob from the other place looting the Tea Room last night ( you dont have to go to Dadbag to find that sort of carry on you know )

Bolddog, being just a biginner here, you have not yet been let into the secrets of "the locked room"! There is enough bubbly in there to float a battleship on. That's why sometimes there seems to nobody in, they're all in the secret place getting quietly paralytic.
Hi all
Hilary, thanks for keeping the game going. You don't think you could push me up a few places could you? Maybe I should have blown the lot on WGG, todays rise would have looked quite impressive.

Good evening Socs,
My palms are not adverse to being greased. Most things can be "arranged".
Bolddog/Olddog,
You still have an unused place in the game ..... it's not too late to join in by placing your trades before noon on Sunday.
My Pipex has just died on me, so I'm going to log off. TTFN.

good evening folks! This place never runs out of champagne. It is a condition of the lease that there is always even enough to keep me happy.
Anybody from here doing the Heathrow thing tomorrow?

What Heathrow thing is that? Does it affect Glasgow?

Socks: AM seminar at a hotel near Heathrow. Was hoping one or two from here might have signed up. Glasgow quite safe, I think. It's not expected to be that rowdy, Socks!

Ah! .... now I know why when I pop in during the day there is (appears to be) no one at home. You're all in "the locked room", have you checked the cupboards in there? It's possible that GD has locked himself in one, hence his absence!
I'll help myself to a drink. I need one after a bad start on Monday taking a loss, followed by a dull week of screen watching slowly clawing my way back, and ending up with little to show for it. Oh well, at least I ended the week better off (just) than when I started it!
Have a good weekend all, be it in Glasgow, Heathrow, "doing the Bolton thing" or wherever.

Not short Wiggins, never have been. Sold my last hiolding on the rise a couple of weeks ago for a small profit. Dont hold any shares at present, mostly just trading indices

Pardon my ignorance of Arabic. I hope you can answer this question.
Apparently "al" means "the"... as in Al Queda means "the base."
What does Sahaf mean? My friend tells me it means "Village Idiot."

STOP PRESS..Reuters Hot News....and The SAINTS have won their semi at Villa against Watford so we're in the F.A. Cup Final against the dreaded 'Lucky Gooners'...
mind, we stuffed 'em at their gaff earlier in the season so we're looking for a little bit of good fortune in the final...
Hils.....Got any of those leeks left from last year???
Kind of scrappy game with a fair bit of kick and rush but hey, who remembers the losing semi teams??
Another fabulous clear blue sky day but we're entering into Autumn and the temps dropping, now into the high seventies, mrs.lw swam in our pool today but too cold for me, things would disappear....
Here's to a good blue week EVERYBODY but especially with my No.1... PRM....lw

Hi Willie you lucky so and so, Blue skies and 70deg.
It's good to be in PRM at present, have you set yourself a sell target?
I am undecided when to sell, I would love to let it roll and wipe out my losses of the last few years.
I am in profit on PRM but not as much as I would like.
We appear to have broken the 70p level.
If I can get out at 90+ in the short term, I will.

Sweet William,
I sincerely hope that your Saints trounce the Gooners in the final. Regardless of the result, you will qualify for Europe next season. I do wonder, though, how your little Ginger Haggis of a manager will cope with the delights of Galatasaray and co.
I'm also deeply offended that you dare suggest I would carry a leek about my personage to a football match. Leek transportation is the sole preserve of Max Boyce and a number of Welsh posters on the pbb (leek in hand, sheep under arm!). Chelsea fans would not stoop to such low levels. They can often be seen, however, sporting Harrods bags brimming with an entirely different vegetable ........ CELERY!!
In addition there is a special technique for dispensing said celery in public and an accompanying anthem which must be sung in order to qualify as a True Blue (a bit like the Mason's "Secret Handshake", I suppose).
If you're interested in joining this secret sect, you can start by
