Had a bad dream last night. Alistair Darling is sacked from the cabinet, gets offer of job at SEO (CEO). SEO put out a right issue so as to be able to afford his salary.
Darling excepts position, putting out a statement that he expects SEO share price to be 35 by Xmas. SEO nationalized 6 months later after a takeover by Richard Branson (biodegradable condoms) fails as Darling refuses offer of 30 per share.

35 here we come. The excitement is underwhelming.
Now if only they could make Gordon Brown Financial Director of the company just think where the sp will end up.

Nice to see the same posters on here as ample... still don't look very good from my perspective... Mr Mines and the board have a lot to answer for, the silence is deafening...

The silence is deafening because Mr Mines and co. are too busy searching for a word that is suitable as the opposite of "nascent"!

Stanelco Management have had a Baldrick Day, they have come up with a cunning plan. I have heard that Stanelco are to move all dealings in their stock to the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. They then intend to go to a stock consolidation of 1 to 1000, so each share is valued at 1,000,000 Zimbabwe Dolors.
Then when the sp drops to 1 Zimbabwe Dollar (.00000001 British pence)the company can blame the rampant inflation, due to a run on the markets.
Can't see any flaws myself. I think they should go for it. 35 Zimbabwe Dollars by Xmas.
An alternative thought.
I wonder what Captain Darling (Alistair Darling) and General Melchett (Gordon Brown), would think about a few million guarantee, with the possibility of Nationalization. After all both Northern Rock and Stanelco are both basket cases.
Rowan Atkinson for CEO perhaps

No they couldn't afford him at the time, although Baldrick did say he would do the job for a big fat turnip, (Black Adder fans will no doubt get this).

Anybody know the answer to this.
The Sheiks Heritage - Submitted by Diego, Hendaye (France)
Difficulty:
An old Egyptian Sheik summons his two sons to his death bed. According to tradition, only one of the two sons can inherit his fathers estate.
The two men will have to compete in a very unique camel race. Strangely though, the father will bequeath his fortune to the son whose camel will lose the race.
Undecided as to how to begin the race because they have not solved their fathers riddle, the two brothers seek the advice of a wise man. No sooner have the two sons explained their predicament to the wise man, that they make a hurried dash for the waiting camels. What could the wise man have possibly told the sons for them to have scrambled to start the race?

Yes, they are to ride the camel belonging to each other.
