Evening all.
Thanks for the leaderboard update GD.
Can we add dividends to our total? sorry I forgot to read the rules.
Jeff..
I am selling quite a bit to eastern europe on e bay of late.
As a man of great banking Knowledge, is direct transfer safe?
Also have you any idea what Western union is?

Western Union is reputable money transfer agency but I believe a little expensive. I think the PO might use them.

I have used Western Union Billpay and, as Jeffmack says, it is a bit expensive. The way it works is that the buyer gives their credit card number and Western Union then post a Money Order to the seller. The buyer pays Western Union a fee for postage and a fee on a sliding scale dependent upon the amount. My deal cost me $17 on a $200 purchase. Compared with PayPal, I thought it was exorbitant.

Jeff,
I was bored whilst waiting for my download so I couldn't resist the temptation of having a nose around.
Anyway, have a good time tonight, one and all, and see you next year. Be sure that you don't drink and drive as you might spill it.
:o)

Nouvelle ann heureuse.
Glkliches neues Jahr.
Nuovo anno felice.
Ano novo feliz.
Feliz A Nuevo.
Not forgetting "Happy New Year" from Socco and her-indoors.
Let's hope next year is a better one for us all. May my portfolio be blue and my investment picks all be ten baggers.
Now it's time to eat so I think a Spam sandwich would be very comforting. With gherkins and pickles on the side. Hey, how about some green tomato chutney. Not had that since a pound was 20 shillings!

Hi Socs
Thought it might be fun to have a "Guess the name of Mrs Socs" competition.
You go first....

Good gracious me! In profit already which is more than I can do with real money.
Regards, Socrates. No doubt you'll be ordering hemlock from the tea rooms. And a special Happy New Year to The Gorgeous Vasey. Now back to watching my pot grow smaller on the Euor/ bet.

No I can't stomach hemlock, I'll go for dandelion and burdock.

Wow, first post of the new year goes to Socco. Obviously well deserved.
Good morning all, here is today's health report.
Socco is suffering from a severe cold, such that he went to bed last year and slept until this year. Any celebrations were out of the question. Has he made any resolutions? "Her-indoors" speaking for her husband said "When he is well enough, I will tell him what his resolutions are"!

Good morning everybody and a Very Happy New Year to all Cafettes, lurkers and posters.
Poor Socs. I've found a recipe for a hot toddy that will improve your spirits. Based on Irish whiskey and lemon. I do hope you start feeling better soon, Socs.

Oh Boy it looks like there was a big party in here last night!!
Spam sarnies, buckets of trifle, pork scratchings and Bonios
all over the floor along with the empty bottles and 'dead'
balloons and streamers...
Happy New Year One and All
It's going to be a good one - never mind flying pigs
take a look at that galloping bull on the horizon!!!!
Wonderful sight - majestic and powerful beast, stampeding
down the hill, knocking bears left and right...
AHHHHHHHH..And (oh doggie-dooes..)heading straight for
yup...the Tea-Rooms!!!!
