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.

That's not a weed. It's an unattached fig leaf.

Another boring day in trait - should bring a smile to your lips !!!

This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By
giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

The test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which

you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to
be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due
consideration to each line.




THE SITUATION:

You are in New Orleans and there is chaos all around you caused by a
hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical
proportions. You are photo journalist working for a major newspaper,
and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is
nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There
are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the
water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.




THE TEST:

Suddenly you see a man in the water. He is fighting for his life,
trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer. Somehow the
man
looks familiar. You suddenly realize who it is. It's the President,
George W. Bush. At the same time you notice that the raging waters are
about to take him under forever. You have two options, you can save
the life of the President or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize
winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most famous men.











THE QUESTION:

Here's the question, and please give an honest answer.......



Would you select high contrast colour film, or would you go with the
classic simplicity of black and white?

LOL :-)

I am always kind to the disadvantaged if possible. I certainly wouldn't use a camera to shoot him. Such a waste of film.

ps they did help us during the wars.

Nam

They've made up for it the last couple of times by either not joining in, or shooting more of us guys than the enemy.
Alan

Just getting their eye in for the big one to come, Al.

Nam

I did hear that they want to make up for being late for the last two world wars by being early for the next one.
Alan

;~)

Nam

Is it a really, really boring day out there in the markets or isi it just the crap I am laughingly invested in?

It's a boring day Al.

Its a very boring day
- so I am going to take my daughter out to lunch and see my grandson

A man took his wife to the Rodeo and one of the exhibits was that of breeding bulls.

They went up to the first pen and there was a sign that said, "This bull mated 50 times last year.." The wife poked her husband in the ribs and said, "He mated 50 times last year."

They walked a little further and saw another pen with a sign that said, "This bull mated 120 times last year." The wife hit her husband and said, "That's more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him."

They walked further and a third pen had a bull with a sign saying, "This bull mated 365 times last year." The wife got really excited and said, "That's once a day. you could REALLY learn something from this one."

The husband looked at his wife and said, "Go up and ask him if it was with
the same cow every time."

The husband's condition has been upgraded from critical to stable. He
should be able to eat soft foods in a week, and is expected to make a full
recovery.

Baza

there is nothing going on at all.

Half term. All brains switched off.

Quick update for those of you that followed my tip and invested in KRAP for the kosher bacon warehouse. Planning permission has been denied. But there is some really good news.
As the CEO was leaving his country mansion just outside Henley, he noticed a large patch of oil on his gravel driveway, just where he parks one of his Bentleys. Thats right. We've struck oil!!! Theres so much of the stuff its seeping to the surface in an almost refined state!!
The CEO is such a warm hearted individual that he has offered to sell the drilling rights to all 46 acres of his land (not the freehold, obviously) for a paltry 200million.
This will, of course, require further funding from the shareholders, by way of a cash call, but that is a massive reserve. How can we lose?
A test bore will be sunk shortly, and a drill had been ordered from B&Q, who say they have loads of Black and Deckers in stock for immediate delivery, but we may have to wait a few days for the long drill bits.
Who cares??? We're in the money!!!
alan

I'm definitely in on this Al ,take it he will have to move home when drilling starts ,maybe Monaco ?

alan , i am not looking to discredit you or anything, but , so far there have been no rns' from KRAP, and yet you seem to be remarkably well informed. this morning i did some digging around company house looking at KRAP accounts filed earlier this year and, lo and behold, the ceo's name is one a. hewitt, and the finance director a mrs h. hewitt. please, please tell us that this is an amazing coincidence.

What's more, PM1 hasn't got in on the act.

That's it then i'm defiitely in ,this is a multi bagger !!

how bloody dull can it get????
just cos i'm bored.

If you were of an engineering bent Bos, you should be 'punched' in addition to being 'bored' Still that is preferable to being screwed (over, that is)

Nam.

ps a little waxing just behind the ears might not go amiss.
