I am very tempted, however I have to work on the day in question. I shall naturally expect a full report. I hope they give you a cup of tea and a cucumber sandwich for the effort you have put in. I understand there's not usually much more than tea and biscuits at AGMs.

Spoke to Co. Sec and he is expecting somewhere around 30 shareholders. I suppose some will be representing fund managers, registrars and other grown ups but that won't intimidate me! Yep, usually tea and biccies.
If you've got any questions, e-mail via the private service and I'll represent your interests!!

Thanks, I can rarely think of anything intelligent enough to ask but I'll give it a try. Meantime, bubbly?

I stand corrected, thanks Jeff. I might just promote him to Wing Co!

Maybe he will get some respect if he wears his old WW2 uniform.

I hate to pull rank but over on Sharecrazy I'm a Group Captain. Nice pictures Jeff.
As for WWII, when I joined "the mob" in 1970 I was issued a best uniform which was manufactured in 1944. So I suppose in some ways you are quite close. My button stick was made in 1937!

I never flew "Fokkers", had to mend a few, or at least they sounded a bit like "Fokkers". And before anyone asks, I did work on Spifires and Hurricanes, not during the Battle of Britain but on the battle of britain flight aircraft.

Socs...no, "wizard prang old boy" and did you ever say "Angels at 9 o'clock"?
I'd love to had said that or even, "Wilco Roger One" or
"He came out of the sun" and did you drive a MG LF?
Have you got a "Handlebar moustache"?
Unbelievable times, racing to the village pub, play the rowing game on the floor, meet some floozy for a quick Roger and out and chocks away, up into the clouds, watch out for the briny and where's the hun?
Love to be at one of your re-unions.
Did you ever fly out of Tangmere?....lw

I need a translator for most of your post but I am no fly boy. Been to Tangmere but only to visit. Was at Hawkinge last year, it's now a housing estate but there is rather poignant WWII museum there, very personal exhibits of our heroes. It's well worth a visit if you're passing. As for my reunions, I'm usually the only one there, except for Vasey who helps me out with the bubbly.

Good Evening socs.
Hope your well, have you found that new house yet?

Hello 8 Ball, nice to see you again. No, not found the house yet. I'm still concentrating on building up my portfolio in order to widen my scope a bit. Made some definite decisions though, place must be quiet and close to the sea. Apart from that, the world is my oyster. Still got a few years to work yet.
How are you these days?

Quite busy at present socs.
Not doing any trading at the moment, just keeping an eye on holdings at present.
Looking to take profits as they come.
Investment club portfolio has improved from -28% to -2% in the last few months
We have taken a few profits, and are holding good profits on both Burtonwood (40%)and Wynnstay group(30%).
I do pop in for a read now and again.

8 Ball, nicely done. But when you pop in, just say hello, even if you don't stay. It's nice to know people are around.
