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!

T-I-M
How about a new iron or a vacuum cleaner? Go on, show her you care!

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)

T_I_M
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.

Greetings

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.

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!!

Could I go with 20,000 PTO long, 40,000 LLOY long. 20,000 MTN long.

Ah, little willy, I remember those Lonnie Donnegan days well. He was also one of my early favourites. Him and the Everley Bros.
Enough of this nostalgia.

This-is-me, how about buying the Mrs a book? She's probably intelligent and can read. You can get them in book shops. Look for something by a woman about Romance. Ask one of the female assistants. I wish you luck in your quest.

The lollipop is yours, but only just, it was Nancy Whisky. Help yourself to a lollipop from my private supply in Golddogds biscuit barrel,

A book is a good idea, can I suggest something like "Cookery for Absolute Beginners", that would be sure to excite some emotion! I did have some other thoughts, perhaps she might like the full dvd set of Band of Brothers or maybe a new electric drill?

Can someone explain how one goes about choosing a share for this competition? Does on have to read a balance sheet or something. I'm not very good at reading or figures.

Snoball
Probably the easiest, and maybe even the most effective method, is as follows:

1. Take the share list page from a well known newspaper.
2. Pin it in front of a dart board.
3. Throw three darts at the board until they stick into it.
4. Select the shares nearest to the dart points.
5. Tell Golddog those three shares are your selection for the competition.


I wish you the best of luck, you will probably do much better than I will. (A small hysterical laugh is permitted at this point).

Socs, tried your tested method,
missed the bloody board three times!!

Snoball
Whilst not admitting that the above method may not produce a winner, there is a balance to be drawn because the winner will be the person whoes shares make the most money. It only needs some-one to select a multi-bagger to win on the basis of one share.

Obviously choosing shares such as BARC or LLOY would be unlikely to be able to compete since they may put on, say, 50% at the outside and then only under a special circumstance i.e. take-over bid.

The winner is likely to be someone who selects a share that is currently out of favour, probably a small cap, which through some specific circumstance is about to take off. Possibly a new product that will be a must have with mega sales potential, or possibly a company that has previously bombed out but has been turned round by new management and returns much better than expected figures.

It all comes down to the risk-reward ratio, the higher the risk the greater the reward if it comes off, but also the less likey it is to happen.

There are many other reasons out there why a share may go into orbit but there are a few ideas to chew on.
All IMHO naturally.

I'm sure others can give you some ideas but if the competition had been run earlier then TDM, GOL, PDX might have given people a run for their money.

Note Item 3 on the list!

Thanks a lot Socs. I'll try the dartboard method. It sounds more reliable.

I tried the dartboard method once but killed the cat! Not such a good idea.

Gianni, Hi. Regarding the game i like to keep it simple (like myself) so just select 3 ordinary shares please. Please help yourself to a drinky.

Everyone is welcome to play the Game and remember if you miss this weekend you can start anytime in the next few weeks at weekends only. (does that make sense?)
:-)

Bring on the Tea. (too early for booze). go on then just a wee drop of something warm in it! (no not that!)

GD if the dartboard method killed the cat everyone should try it. Ever since a caat ate Me budgies when I was little I've hated the brutes - the only good cat is a dead one.

Thanks for all the Christmas present ideas, particularly the sensible one from snow ball - obviously snow knows about Christmas! One idea I had was to buy her a Cheeky Girls video that we could watch together. What do you think?
