First time here. Hils was advertising your game so I thought I'd give it a go for the chance to see my name in lights :-).
My picks are
50,000 HCEG
20,000 CBM
10,000 MTN
Thanks
Rob

If the price of Hampers goes down close to Christmas I will sell and hope to buy back a bit cheaper to store for the next couple of years in Me ISA. The large order announced this week makes them a good long term bet (I hope), maybe even as good as NHP has been.

I would have longed Wiggie but it is what I would call highly speculative.

If this was the House of Commons I'd shout "I spy strangers" but its not so a warm welcome to all 'popper inners', drinks are on me 'cos that bloody dog knocked my pint of London Pride over me.
Mop it up pooch and I'll change to a bottle of La Motte Sauvignon Blanc, really chilled and SA of course.
Break our the Pimms for the visitors and a few strips of biltong....
Hils/Jeff..how come no gem in the game?

As usual Me is stuck for ideas of what to buy 'she who thinks she should be obeyed' this Christmas. It will end up being perfume unless anyone can come up with something better!

Old Socks, are you intending to attend my funeral! (besides it is a new washing machine we need as our present one is starting to sound tired)

That's just a mild joshing. If you really want an explosion ask your wife why women have smaller feet than men. Then tell her it's so they can get closer to the sink to wash up.
But enough of this hilarity! I have some serious research to do. Must work out my investment strategy for next year.

Socs...I think its the "Shrinks".
Gianni...nice of you to drop by so unexpected. how's your Russian going?
T.I.M. Your present stinks, unoriginal matey.
How about this for a suggestion buddy, a real caring prezzie that will show your love and affection for both her and this earth of ours; suggest you try hitting her with ecology, save the planet etc and explain that you've read about all the minerals, power, expressed outfall of pollution that is destroying this world so.......... you decided against a washing machine and instead you went 'retro' and got her an old fashioned wooden wash-board [made from pine of course].
If she throws a 'wobbly', your good self and the washboard OUT you can always go busking with it as "Tiny T_I_M " in Leicester Square a la the late, great Lonnie Donnegan.
ps. If she does, remember to nick a couple of her thimbles, you'll need them for playing your chosen instrument.

There's a blast from the past, Lonnie Donnegan. Didn't he own a hotel in Westgate on sea at one time? Exits stage left humming "Freight Train", anyone remember who that was by? Sticky lollipop for the first to get it correct.

Socs,
I think it was either Chas McDevitt [with Nancy Whisky] or New Christy Minstrels [with Bill Zorn], definately not Emile Ford; on balance I think it was Chas but I sit to be corrected and as soon as you say it'll ring the bell.
Rock Island Line,Cumberland Gap, Grand Coolie Dam?, Does your chewing gum lose its flavour?, Battle of New Orleans, My old mans a dustman,Michael Row the boat,Commanchero's,Pick a Bail,500 miles,Takes a worried man, John Henry, Dont you rock me daddy o, Gambli Man,Tom Dooley, Rock a my soul,I wanna go home,Have a drink on me, not bad for a Barnardos Boy who was told " You can't write proper songs or sing properly".
He was one of my v.early favourites, I heard skiffle which was raw and exciting, stayed with me alway; he died a few months ago aged 72 yrs. and even shortly before his death he was gigging, arriving at venues by public transport, rail etc aka Bo Diddley.
If I win the lollipop leave it behind the bar in the cafe or post it to me!!
