Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Lordy Lordy ,we are taking a beating today...

i think everything is taking a beating today, jimmy. i've got a sea of red on my watchlist.

Why do shares tend to rise more slowly (but hopefully more steadily), but when they go down, they get hammered down - or is it my imagination?

LOL Gallick-So true. Well it feels like that. Hey, if you have a skill picking out red ones, start trading short CFDs!

Who said shorts.

Try these shorts ,a lot better driver..

Now thats more like it - the previous one almost put me off me dinner !

God its a dismal day on the markets today. Lets all go round Bazas and get pi55ed up tonight to celebrate his birthday. Nothing too dramatic, just a few fag burns in his carpets, a load of comatose drunks on his lawn and a sock drawer full of Castlemaine. Typical party, really.
What about it Baza? Gotta be better than a candlelit romantic dinner at a superb fish restaurant, with the trouble and strife?
Alan

The candle lit dinner would be better if you took someone elses wife. Has anyone got blue on there screen. I'm getting a sore bum today.

MS

MS,
You really should be careful asking about blue on screens on this thread and then saying you have a sore bum. I know exactly what you mean but some on here might just take that the wrong way and subject you to weeks of abuse and pillory.
I, of course, wouldn't dream of it!!
Alan

Blue screen ,,sore bum ,,ooooh risky...

What a bad day , this should cheer us up.

You mean - you got carpets - did not realise I was mixing with the upper classes on this board.

You are very welcome to stay the night as well if you like. Me the wife and the kids and gransdon will share the bedroom - if you dont mind sleeping in the scullery. But dont lay across the toilet door otherwise no one will be able to empty their potties in the morning.

C U later

This is tonight girl early ,i'm out of here ...

Thats it then, all round to Bazas tonight.
Volunteers to organise the party essentials. I have made a list, so just let Baza know what you are taking along;
Sausage rolls
Twiglets
Marijuana
Several Thai hookers
14 kegs of Watneys Red Barrel (per person)
Dodgy pickled onions and cheese on cocktail sticks tastefully stuck into half a melon, decorated in tin foil
Very cheap wine that even an alcholic thinks is below them (Tesco specialise in it)
CD of Black Lace's Greatest Hits
Packet of post-it notes to label the bodies so the cabbie knows where to drop them
Mars bar in case Baza knows Marriane Faithfull

Think thats everything.
Not forgotten anything have I?
Alan

Snowballs.

I had that once, Chocolat, but some cream from the doctors and a course of antibiotics and it cleared up in a fortnight.
Alan

Your mummie should've knitted you a longer tank top, Alan.

No Knitting. Got all my clothes in one trip to C & A for their sales in 1974. You can't beat Bry-Nylon.

when we were kids we had wellies with "L" written on one and "R" written on the other, just so we knew which one was left and which one was right. i also had a jumper with "F" and "B" on it , so i knew which side was the front and which side was the back. a few years later i was helping my mum with the washing and i noticed that her knickers had "C&A" on them. i couldn't help thinking that a grown woman should know which way round her knickers go..........
