Well done Saint Willie and 8 ball with your Prummie. I got squeezed out for a loss in the week when it was patently obvious that it was going to break the previous high.
It doesn't change anything though and I still think that it's a grossly overhyped and overvalued bag of wind. I've put my pin away for the minute but I'll be back to burst the bag. You can be sure of that. The story about Merrills being short of stock is rocking horse poo, btw ........ They've been firmly in control of the price and know what they're doing.

Thanks for that,lovely twosome; when the house is built [a year] it will be fantastic with heated pool, full size snooker room with darts, bar and braii and the position is number one on the estate. Both you and better halves will be welcome to stay as long as you want should you visit this fantastic land.
Our location is in the most beautiful area of the Country and you'll be positively stunned by it all.
Food & wine aren't to be sniffed at either.
Meanwhile our present smaller house will also offer the same hospitality should you so desire.
Have a good w/end....lw
ps sorry about your loss Minxie but know you'll recoup it, hopefully not from prm.

It's great to see you still in contact with the old country. If you stumble across a relative of mine, give him my regards. On second thoughts, he'd be about 100 years old by now so maybe best not bother.
Bit cold and blustery today, I will have to wrap up warm for my trip into town. See you all later.

Morning all
Think you will be up again on Tue LW, that was a nice 250k buy on Friday at 98p.
I see TRK is also picking up, that may be overpriced and overhyped Hil.
My Club holds that and I have never been that happy with holding it.

Socs...s'pose your rellie wouldn't be 'our Cecil' [Rhodes] or better still
'our Nelson'. Always happy to look someone up. Weather rainy here today but its warm rain, however no golf for me in these conditions. Fair weather fella these days....
8ball agree hopefully with first sentence, still long in trk but they did imho lose the plot by trying to sell direct to the motor manufacturer whereas I think the parts supplier should have been the route taken ie Borg Warner etc.
Fords, GM etc all showing huge losses so would stick to what they have preferring others to take the risks connected with a revolutionary new product.
I also worry that fuel cell is getting closer to reality therefore life span of trk is potentially limited, they have gained a few points last week so who knows. A breakthrough into the ome market would see the price go out of the window.....
Toney...can't raise my daughter or her fella to put money on for me, looks like I'm out of the punt.
Good luck to you, is it wet there?....lw

Good morning all you other stay-at-homes. It's a fine day, so far, here in Cheltenham. I shall be enjoying myself reading my favoutite book, "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets". It's rivetting stuff so I may need the odd diversion to keep me awake.
'Her-indoors' is off to a postcard fair to spend her pocket money on some old postal memorabilia so I will be acting as chauffeur too. Life is one long joyous string of exciting events isn't it. Leftovers for lunch, my favourite. (Chef in the Cafe has the day off) but I'll make the tea.

Morning Socs,
If it's a fine day in Chelteners, I'm surprised that you're not out in the garden doing your white bits.

Sorry, would have answered earlier but been out on the duty run, 'her indoors' up to the Racecourse for the postcard bash.
I am happy to say, as regards the garden, that I have created it as ultra low maintenance. Therfore I have little or no reason to enter it. Since I suffer from hay fever and the sun gives me headaches this is a blessing to me. So I remain firmly white and my shorts are for keeping cool not getting tanned.
"Today I am mostly be reading Bollinger Bands".
(I actually prefer classical music but you have to give everything a try).
I feel quite comfortable with Bollinger Bands since I understand the mathematical principle behind it, standard deviations and all that stuff. Question is though, does it work?
I'm afraid the cafe has only left overs today, chef's day off, but I'll keep the kettle hot if anyone wants to pop in for a cuppa.

Bloody horses have got many into trouble. Haven't had a bet for over 5 yrs. but HT did sound very up for those two, I'd have had 20 if I'd been able.
How did they both run, was it wet for the outsider as HT did specify that.
Also, I understand the 2nd race [2nd] was pretty close to what he forecaste, how close was the finish. Good try HT.
Tip from me...prm
Lovely day here, mrs.lw on golf course, tarts day so she'll be back hungry at about 6pm. I'm off to the supermarket as I'm doing a Thai lamb & coconut curry for dinner tonight, we'll eat it outside on the patio[ on plates] and wash it all down with some just released new season sauvignon blanc....
Understand yesterday was bank holiday, hope you all had a good 'un...lw

Socs,
I too have one of those ultra low maintenance gardens ......... it involves getting a gardener to maintain it. Shame about the hay fever ...... you've presumably never experienced "red cheek syndrome" then?
Saint Willie,
Don't forget the cushions as well as the plates if you're going to eat off the patio. You wouldn't want to graze your knees.

I know all about red cheek syndrome, one assumes one is referring to facial cheeks! I have done a few overseas trips in my RAF days where red knees were all the rage.
How's the trading going, are you still shorting or have you joined the mad rush for the bull?
