Well, well! As you obviously don't know, throwing a shoe at someone has absolutely NO meaning in western culture. Middle eastern culture is different, as President Bush found out.
Now, how about answering Dil's question so we can all move on!

Harrythe Master says you are fast and furiousdoes that mean you are in the ready money round?

Your face is too delicate for a shoe, I see you prefer a custard CAKE

Say what you see!

re - no doubt I'll get another insult by return

not from me, many posters have many pass time and nothing to aport to the thread I am afraid, maybe you could be just another one...........

now if you would like a bit of it, just tried again, I can not see anything positive to LLOY from you either.

Alien or no alien

                           JOKE OF THE DAY

Is better sometimes to keep your mouth close when dealing with the "Master"

note: The only animal making the same mistake time an time again is the human being

RSPCA = Charity working for the Five Freedoms for animals through legislation.

        CLOSING MARKET REPORT

Another tumble on the Dubai bourse this morning also added to the gloom for banks that have any exposure in the Gulf region,
ahead of tomorrow's pre-Budget statement which is expected to include a tax claw-back on bonus payments.

Royal Bank of Scotland headed the losers, the shares down 2.55p at 30.45p, while Lloyds bucked the trend
by ticking up 0.08p at 53.77p, Barclays fell 9.55p at 287.5p, HSBC lost 17.7p at 695.1p and Standard Chartered,
due to publish a trading statement tomorrow, slumped 55.5p at 1,437p.

GREAT WAY TO LOSE MONEY.

Pre-Budget report

1240 - The chancellor confirms that VAT is going back up on 1 January to 17.5%, but says he has no other announcements on VAT. This may surprise some commentators who had suspected it could go up further in the not too distant future.

1241 - Confirmation too that the 1p rise in corporation tax is being postponed.

1249 - Mr Darling confirms that the basic state pension will rise by 2.5% in 2010.

1251 - As expected, the chancellor confirms that the UK economy will shrink by 4.75% this year, but predicts it will grow by between 1% and 1.5% during 2010.
