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.

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
clicking here to learn the anthem.

OH! WHEN THE SAINTS, GO MARCHING IN,OH WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN!!!!!!!!!
Hils..whoops, a veggie mix up; neither of 'em available over her, so thats another plus heh?
Wee Gordie, the carrot top lets his heart rule his head and makes me chuckle when he loses it.
Still largely an inherited squad from Dave [show me a child and I'll make you a man] Jones, actually thought he got a raw deal but it was an awkward situ.
Anthem not to HiFi quality 'nor singing. Was it recorded in your drum under a duvet with J & rugrats?..lol
8ball.cheers mate, cast averaging has seen me down to 32p, I've got buckets of 'em also upto max. in PEPs/ISAs both of us. No specific target set but see them upto 1-1.25 this year and imho think you'll do well.If you do, I do!!
C'mon you huskies, mush,mush...lw

Quiet is good, socks. I like quiet. The delicious Nick is trying to keep a low profile on the stock to stop me from having an excuse to ring him!
What news on PDX? It has to start motoring if we're to beat off the competition. Some grown ups have joined in the last few days, and of course, they start with the full 50k. (Hilary is such a softee. I'd have given them a handicap!)
Sorry about not changing my GSK short. I honestly thought the Game had gone into stand-by mode and all bets were off when the mutt took off like that, but time to start paying more attention

I'm ever hopeful with PDX, problem is there is no telling when a contract may be signed. PDX have stated that they have no interest in production themeselves, only in licensing. If they don't do something soon I will have to cut my loss and pile everything into BULM.

Sweet William,
Good guess about the duvet ........ was it that obvious? I guess that J's reputation for singing preceeds him. He got turfed out of his music class at school for being tone-deaf. He's offered to let you have the words to some of the songs from his repertoire of Mr Wenger classics especially for the final.
vasey,
I did give the newbies a handicap ......... by letting the regulars start a few weeks ago, you've all had ample opportunity to race off to an unassailable lead. I might even start to play the game properly myself in a few weeks.
:-)
