Socs...depends what you mean by "in"?
Don't play cricket anymore but then again, I was usually out.
"In" the wotsit?..... My normal state of affairs with mrs.lw, just the depth that varies..
"In" the Inn...very frequently but not so much the Cafe Inn.
Sad to say I spend much more time now back on the old channel which to be truthful I find quicker and slicker but I do miss the cafe banter.
Still look in here daily but will probably stop when freebie runs out.
I never did find out what happened on the other channel, how and why that cafe closed...Was it closed overnight so to speak?
I was incommunicado for a period of about six weeks when moving over here before we got a phone etc. and when we did everything had changed, luckily I had already got this channel registered so could continue but am a little dissapointed in the set-up.
Jeff..I tested my system at about the same time, working ok so went back to kip.

Two things spring to mind.
One, you shouldn't be in your office on a Sunday.
Two, if you are in your office you shouldn't be day dreaming looking out of your window, LOL.
I used to visit up there quite frequently, Gresham Street, is it still there or has it been recycled?

TIM ::Today England, last thursday SA! I do think this test is one of the best since the Botham test when we licked the Aussies, Flintoff was a revelation today, just a shame he didn't get those five extra runs.
Seriously tho', when I was in UK in July my daughters fella had got me a England rugby cap plus England cricket cap and a couple of English cross of St George flags.
When in UK I supported SA, indeed went to the 1st test 1st day wearing my SA golf cap just to wind my chums up but when over here I fly the flags out on my balcony so everyone coming up the fairway cannot miss seeing them, plus I have a banner on my golf buggy...basically I like winding folk up...in fairness here they take it better than at home wqhere I was called a traitor...lol..
The real fun starts next month with the Rugby World Cup 'cos that they really take seriously and they hate to admit that England have a great chance.
It being my main old sport, I too take it seriously so the cap will be firmly in place and dulcet tones of "Sweey Chariot" will echo out across the nearby green...especially when they're putting!!!

I'll just settle in the corner here where I can see my monitor so that I can watch my portfolio go blue and have my full English breakfast.

Socs,
If you're off work this week, have you registered for your free week trial of L2 and premium services?

You make it all sound so easy. Three of my last four buys are up over 30% and the fourth is static as I have expected it to be for a few days. I am fully invested at present, as far as I want to be any rate, and I am waiting for some of my old stocks to regain some value where I can liquidate them. Three should reach that state this week then I may have something to re-invest somewhere.
Are you at home today or at what I believe you call work? LOL.

Socs,
It is easy. You just need to learn how to turn those 30%ers into 3 baggers.

Mmmmmm Almond croissant, is that with cream? I have some rather nice coffee for you Vasey. It's Called St Helena. Exclusive to Bettys of Harrogate and only 30 a packet.
Hilary
I'm a modest sort of a chap, 30% on all my investments would suit me fine, as long as it was each week. I've never had a one bagger yet, let alone a 3 bagger. No, I tell a lie, I had Midland Independent News. That was a 1 bagger, got taken over by Mirror Group I think. Heck, that was a long time ago.

3 (bin liner) bags is the amount of rubbish Me got out of my daughters' bedrooms last week-end - the dirty baggers! I don't know how they collect it, mind you what they call rubbish (eg certain CDs) and what Me call rubbish is not always the same!
LW Time to put on the TV to see if we can finish off your neighbours!

Without cream, thanks, Socs. See DYS is having a healthy correction this morning. I'm surprised there hasn't been more profit-taking, but obviously most people holding on or even buying! Time for it to have a little rest and consolidation before resuming its upward trajectory!

It wasn't just the copuple of pairs of smelly school socks that "I put in the washing basket so its not my fault they have vanished" so the postage would be huge.
