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.

Bookmaker William Hill slashed its odds on Nicaragua to be Snowden's location on January 1, 2014, from 50/1 to 8/1, with Venezuela at 9/4 second favourite.

But Hill's still has the USA as his most likely destination.

jkd.... a lot of silly things on here are said. Myself included.

I do admit though to telling a white lie about my age. Although this white lie was between age 39 and age 42........... split the difference and you get somewhere near.

Dont forget I have given details of my private life in the twitter link on the chart attack thread and I think even thats a little dangerous given the online nut case,s we have have these days.

Please dont forget for all my evils I have been here near the start and put many many an hour into analysing companys(ino early hours of morning) and earned quite a few a nice penny or two in profit.

In fact Id rather help someone else make a nice rake out than I would for myself.

Some call me a ramper but that is pure ignorance, just look at the chart thread where when I have time I post all kinds of breakouts and breakdowns.

Would I do that If I didnt want someone else to make a few bob or two.

Please remember their are a few on here on this thread who cant cope with me because they see me as their worst nightmare,ie the working class man who is a multi millionaire but still supports working class values.

I wish all the best, Im off down to watch the final tomorrow .....COME ON ANDY.

jkd i dont think its you so you probably dont need to worry too much about possibly being confused fishfinger claims to have squelched loads of peeps on here but i think its funny that he still knows whos posting so he may just be pulling your plonker if you know what i mean anyway i wouldnt worry too much coz you shouldnt expect anything else from a famous economist who fingered bob maxwell cos hes a 10 foot tall cloth cap wearing lard arse diabetic who used to play football for man utd and hes won three world cups and two world wars and he used to box for accrington stanley and he also used to cheerlead for the leeds university netball team and hes real fit but he doesnt know how old he is but hes a leg end in his own y fronts nonetheless

jkd I UNFILERED hilary bacause I saw you in your post above clearly distressed at what had been said.

I admit that when I have a diabetic hypo ( not often now) I post rubbish.

Im very sorry for this.

I would like Hilary to prove though every point this female???????????????????????

to substantiate it here. So as I can prove this to my GP.

It really does worry me, if Im going out posting this,, type of thing.

*Could you pLease ask Hilary for a reply and documentive proof data posts.

Cheers.


Ps, so sorry If Its true.

post duplicated.

Good morning, a little advice please. Having problems getting my Halifax Sharedealing online, went to the bank and they told me to istall firefox - I have windows 7 and Norton Security (for my sins) - is it safe to install firefox or does anybody know of anything better which is free of course? I would appreciate any help.

strange that you should be obliged to instal firefox, not that it would harm your pc, though i suppose you might get some "conflicts" for no good reason.

MEANWHILE - EGYPT
i see that the new (temporary?) prime minisiter is perceived as a liberal ...... which of course is the sort of result "the west" always wanted!

nevertheless, MB won't just lie down and disappear, so more violence sometime down the line is assuredly on the cards

Cheers cynic, I don't understand fully why, I just got told that there was something it didn't like about windows 7 and that firefox would be better - not got a clue as it has worked perfectly well for years without. Will have to research which version to use. Hope the jolly holidays are going well. Halifax are working all day today on their sight so may be things may be different tomorrow!!!!!!

i think halifax are talking a load of bollocks ..... if they had commented about problems with a Windows 8 platform it might have had some credibility

3m,

Your Halifax woes are actually one of my greatest bugbears.

Theoretically, every web browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox, Opera) will render a web page identically. You might see minor differences in how tables render but, otherwise, pages should all look pretty much the same.

Many web designers, however, don't design their sites correctly and pages will frequently contain coding errors which may cause their pages to render differently in different browsers. Some errors may be minor and users won't notice any difference, but other errors can be more serious and pages may not render at all in some browsers. The web designers regularly get over the problem, not by fixing the errors that are causing the problem in the first place, but by passing the buck over to the user and telling them to "use XYZ browser" because that's the only browser the numpties have managed to get their website to render correctly with.

By way of an example, when I visited the Halifax share dealing site (at https://www.halifaxsharedealing-online.co.uk/_mem_bin/formslogin.asp), I counted 111 HTML errors because the page is malformed. These errors will invariably mean the user experience is different from one web browser to the next. Try it for yourself - just right click over any web page and hit 'validate' (or paste the URL into the W3 validation site).

In all seriousness, any web designer who tells his users to change browser as a way of overcoming his own shortcomings should get the sack.

We used to build web sites some years ago and would check them against the main browsers and also previous versions of those browsers.

However, I have some sympathy for the web builders of today. We often used to hand code the HTML, but these days the web pages are generated by various packages. Web based systems are so central to major companies's businesses and are often generated by packages that are embedded into major databases such as Oracle. Web developers use these systems and design their web pages through them. There is little or no control over the HTML code produced. They could go into the code afterwards and 'fix' the code, but this produces a support problem. It is quite common for packages like these to generate non standard code as the package developers are tempted to take advantage of useful anomalies in some browsers.

gf
ref your posts 26826/8 last night, i sympathize with your illness and appreciate your explanation, however, since you have now unfiltered h i am sure you can ask her for yourself.
oh! and by the way i wasn't at all distressed by what had been said, let alone "clearly distressed."
for you to suggest such is a great exaggeration and supposition on your part. i suppose on my part and guess i must just put it down to your illness and must then also try to make such allowances when either reading your posts or replying to them in the future.
kind regards to you
jkd

Well done Andy.

shame he's so unprepossessing!

A bit dour.

he's marginally more attractive that bernie ecclestone, though his wallet is not as stunningly fat
nick faldo is/was more charismatic!

i thought djokovic would win a close match. wrong.
i also thought that if he lost he would at least get 1 set. probably 2.
wrong again
so whats new ?
regards
jkd

Djokovic looked tired. His first serves seemed to lack pace. Not up to the job on the day. Not even a close contest as you say jkd. Murray had harder qualifying matches.

d
did i Really say that ? LoL
regards
jkd

''i thought djokovic would win a close match. wrong'' you said and I said ''Not even a close contest as you say jkd''
