Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

Well if they do it can stay on the shelf as far as I'm concerned.. publicity stunt and nothing else as far as I'm concerned.

Fot the interested few.

Next meeting of ailing alers is at:

A few of us old mild and bitters are meeting up for a beer and a Chat at 1pm Friday 4th December 2009 at:

"Tap and Spile"
Gas Street,
BIRMINGHAM,
B1 2JT
Tel (0121) 632 5602

It is in the basin opposite Symphony Hall in Bridge Street and faces
onto the James Brindley pub.

It has a multiple of ales etc.

Anybody wishing to join us please bring your own grumbles and glasses.

PS.

Look for a table with three elderly gentlemen with bowler hats and one smartly dressed fellow in a white coat which he nicked before leaving the "home".

For those who don't recognise the Pub or its name:-

Fred you got a sofa.....cause i'd be pissed on half real ale, can't drive back down bristol way like that..lol

Baler,

I am sorry, I am sleeping on the sofa. Said something wrong to my wife.
I was asked a difficult question, which I didn't understand, and said "yes" when the requested response should have been "no".

I don't think you are serious about coming, but in case I misread you and you don't know Birmingham, consider train.

The train station is central and is within easy walking distance of the pub. The latter is central.

Thank you fred, but your right, can't make it this time. You should have taken the 5th amendment.... and kept her guessing. BB

>Fot the interested few

too few too mention ....

.... perhaps everyone else has lost their shirt or their lifetime rail pass?

.... we can be recognised in the bar by the crutches, white stick and Borders Bookshop bag ....

Good to meet up again, trust everyone got home in one piece.

S87, re 1298.

As a brewer, I would be interested to know what they put in the mash to achieve this. Or maybe I don't want to know. On the other hand the high figure might be obtained by ********** which could be distinctly *******.

Curious though, nevertheless.

.... next time we'll have to appoint a Chairman to keep us on track and ensure that we actually get round to financial matters .... hope no one ended up sleeping on the sofa .... the Greene King IPA was nice and smooth - first time I'd tried it - woke up next morning feeling normal ... see EXPN closed > 600 ....

.... meanwhile, back to eyes...
now a new technique has come on the market which promises not only to restore our sight but also to make it better than before and get us seeing in high definition.

Mr Batt, who was awake during surgery, said the first thing he noticed was that everything seemed brighter.

Glad all seem to have got home OK.

I have been told that unless I behave I won't be let out again.

Perhaps, next time it would be reasonable to mention the market again.

Very enjoyable afternoon.

Regards and hope all have a enjoyable Xmas and 5501 doesn't get into too much trouble!

Fred, 55 is already in trouble (what this man will do to get out of buying a round is getting silly) -(:

Thought the venue was one of the better one's in terms of acoustics.

S87, that eye article looks very interesting for the future.

>Fred1new - I have been told that unless I behave I won't be let out again.

We'll come round to your place then and it'll have to be Davenports ....

Thats the beer!
Lots of cheer!
The finest malt with hops and yeast,
Turns a snack into a feast.
Straight from breweries to your home,
Why collect?
Well deliver!
Soon youll know why folks all say:
Beer at home means DAVENPORTS !

.... unfortunately by going to Gas Street last Friday then we missed out on this great event:

The 2009 Loo of the Year Awards Presentation Ceremony is being held on
Friday 4th December at the National Motor Cycle Museum near Birmingham
http://www.loo.co.uk/
The worlds most entertaining magician Paul Daniels will provide entertainment at the prestigious 2009 Loo of the Year Awards Presentation

PS: Secret visits were carried out by toilet-checking judges - Manchester Airport's toilets won the top award

It all happens in Birmingham -):

Certainly does ..... even Les Ross is due back on the airwaves next week .... this time with Big City Radio....

.... he's a legend of Birmingham radio - from the days when commercial radio was locally owned, professionally managed by broadcasters not accountants, and provided something it doesn't do now (entertainment) ....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les_Ross


he even bought the main line locomotive that already carried his name ....
http://www.bbc.co.uk/birmingham/content/image_galleries/less_ross_train_march_2008_gallery.shtml

..... a professional ethical radio presenter and a railway buff combined .... can't be bad!

Not really up with local media, sounds an interesting character though.. I'll have to tune in some time.

Oh, dear ....

Dubai shares continue to fall on debt concerns ....

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8400868.stm
The Dubai index has now fallen by more than 20% since Dubai World's debt extension request.

So no happy landings ....

Coventry Airport has been closed due to financial difficulties.
