Hello Hilary, bit quiet on the markets this week isn't it. I thought I'd enjoy a relaxing week watching all the action and it's all very quiet.

I'm not here, more sort of there, any good to you Forks. Being a banker Jeff's
here, there and everywhere 'as the Beatles' sang.
Beware of Avon rubber Forks as they'll catch you on the bounce AND with Mrs.Fork-Sox away; if the mice play [?] then, be warned, that even Avon wotsits have been known to burst...
Thought no-one was there [or here as the case maybe], seems like there's a lunchtime rush on, can the cafe handle it?
Mrs.lw gone to golf [ladies day], we spent the a.m. in Cape Town, lovely sunny clear day etc.....lw

I can handle it!
How's life out there? I have relatives near Jo'burg and they sleep with a machine gun on the mantlepiece and a twelve foot wall topped with razor wire around the house. Quite put me off it did.
Can you get a decent snorker out there or is it all antelope sausages?

Are we talking antelope sausages or machine guns and razor wire? Knowing Peckham I suspect it's the latter.

I was thinking of the latter two, but, now you come to mention it, there was a chap selling antelope sausages from the back of his yellow Robin Reliant only the other day.
Btw, have heard that they're removing the word "gullible" from the new edition of the Oxford English Dictionary?

Minxie, I'll start on the bedroom tommorrow in that case. At the mo. meeting architects and planning. Hope to appoint the man for the job next week, complete on the land sale end of month, get plans through local authority and start to build at the end of the winter,[late autumn at moment 27degrees] probably Sept/Oct with completion 5-6 months later.
From then on you'll be very welcome to take part in littlewillies african adventures in wonderland, although,of course; like all good african things there will be an initiation ceremony.
Socs, have lovely snorkers here [uk style] although not upto 'old spot' standards, they are excellent. Can also get Kudu,impala,springbok,gemspok and several other types with an afrikaan conatation in them; some exceedingly spicy.
Our Golf & Country Estate has great security and we aren't in a hotspot such as Jo'burg, very peaceful and beautiful wine area, everyone here have huge smiles and when they wish you 'a good day' they mean it so no orders for a Kalashnikov or like.
Re dictionary and correctness, anyone had 'spotted richard' lately*?......
*Not to be answered by Minxie.

See if you can whizz things along a bit with the house please, Saint Willie.
My Sowt Aaaaafricaaan girl friend needs to get married a bit sharpish else she'll be turfed out of the UK together with her 3 month old baby. If things go to plan, the Passport Office will extend her passport for a bit longer and we can all visit Sowt Aaaaafricaaa next year for the wedding. Otherwise, it's Fulham Register Office ....... and quick!

Good morning one and all. Another fine and blustery day here in Cheltenham. Her indoors arrived back home safe and sound from the great smoke and loaded with postcards and books from our premier museums and art galleries. Her trains ran on time, unlike the tele programme last night where they didn't run at all. Talk about prophets of doom!
Markets a bit slow again today but seems to be staging a small comeback after the initial fall. I guess they are waiting on the US markets to gain some direction.
Are there any candlesticks experts here, I am interested in learning a bit more because what I have seen is quite quite fascinating. (Sad isn't it, but I used to do extra maths problems at school just for fun.)

Talking about candles, you need sound effects for this joke, but what the hell
Mother superior goues into the nuns dorm at night and announces 'Candles out girls' You then need to make that plopping noise by putting your finger in your mouth against the inside of your cheek, puff up your cheek and .....plop

Sorry Jeffmack, you are going to have to explain that one to poor little innocent me. How's the banking business going, is it time to buy bank stocks yet? Oh, look at the time. Must go and put the kettle on!

Socs,
Forget the banks for now, you should've bought some BKL and BWY a week or two back when I didn't give the tip on this thread. The world and his wife are buying them today. edit: You like planes. What's the score with HAMP please?
Jeff,
Can you explain that joke to me as well please?

As I said, needs sound effects. As I work in IT, I often forget that i am in the banking business, its just us and them. I have my boss over from the states next week, I plan to ask him if I can work four days only, will probably do some trading the other day at home, see how it goes.

He'll probably be impressed that you're offering to do an extra couple of days work next week, Jeff.
I had the misfortune of receiving a convent education and being taught by a bunch of sadistic nuns. I can quite honestly say that I hated every minute of it. I could just picture some of the old trouts that taught me as I had a good chuckle at your joke.

I must confess to not being familiar with HAMP. I've had a look at their website:
http://www.hampson-industries.plc.uk/home.html
and they appear to be quite a professional organisation. They have all of the aviation and quality approvals I would expect to see and their list of customers includes some companies who are very particular in their quality requirements. In addition I see they have an MoD design approval which indicates that they may well have their fingers into some lucrative pies.
Apart from that, a brief look at the charts did not make me bristle with confidence. I shall add it to my watch list because the aerospace industry should start a recovery before too long and HAMP should benefit.
PS
Does your charting expertise include candlesticks (jokes aside)?

Socs,
I wouldn't be surprised to see them hit 20p with a bit of patience over the next 2 or 3 months. I only use candlesticks ....... why's that?
