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.

sticky - do yourself a fave and get up to speed with FOXT

FOXT?????????

foxtons you muppet

Ohhhhhhhhhhh well overvalued.

Right off for a pint.

US flying up and us stuck on 6800 or abouts.

Market top.

There is an interesting story about my friend. He had a very large employment agency business, contract nurses was one of his big areas. In those days the money you deducted from employees on PAYE did not have to be paid to the Inland Revenue straight away. In fact, you could hang on to it for a very long time. Even when enforcement officials got involved, you could delay paying with various excuses. I knew my friend had not paid his PAYE tax for a long time. In fact it was over two years late. He kept it in a money market account to earn some interest.

He rang me one morning to tell me that IR officials turned up at his house early and kicked his front door down. They demanded about £1m, which was their estimate. He wrote them a cheque for the full amount. It was only about half what he owed. He paid up the rest and a lot more when he sold the business a few years later.

He started out as a computer programmer and later I was in business with him. He once ordered some pencils with our company name on them. A huge packing case arrived full of boxes of pencils. One of our staff asked why we had so many. Ken replied in a very strong Irish accent, "I thought a gross was 20".

Let them get on with it Haystack, the last thing we need is for the USA and Britain to get involved in another mess.

It could be Big Dave's opportunity to throw a war.


As part of his "legacy" of course.

I say put Nigel in charge.

That will sort them out.

Mind I am glad the EU is in between US and Them.

Nigel will bore them to death.
