Ah a trip down memory lane, how nice.
I came across stormy on the other side last week.
Will try to tempt him to the dark side.
Remember POND NEWS......
Well I may be able to supply a heron for the cafe Sunday dinner this week.
It tastes just like chicken but the drum sticks are a bit long.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane, paint colour?
Now for that nice English Breakfast tea, couple of cups of that will set me up nicely for the day. Then I shall sit and watch fences blow past the window.

GD re 4034, was the colour dog-knob red?
Just trying to help!
re 4035..I never saw that post but not being welsh I wouldn't know; hands up all welsh guys...tee hee 8 ball and Socs is pretty close. Some welshness may have 'rubbed' off...
re pond news, as I understand, it left Jeffers with a 'muddy bottom'..
re chinese 'eat all you can', I always struggled with the napkins but perhaps yours were rice paper..
Wonderful hot day here, slight breeze, no golf today as off to a outdoor picnic and a 'Glen Miller' concert so any talk of aeroplanes is verboten unless you're in the mood.....
Doobie Doobie, Doobie Doobie, Doobiedooaa...etc

Had a real blizzard here a few days ago, lasted nearly half an hour and left us nicely covered. The hills looked glorious but only a couple of days later it's all gone and now we have half a gale and rain to boot. The weather forecast says "100% chance of rain". Now what good are odds like that to a betting man?
I suppose you have yet another day of unchanged sunshine, don't you sometimes wish for a change?

Seems there's a sudden influx of offal on the thread,
as long as someone remembers to wash the floor afterwards please,
any more witty entrails to add gentlemen?
(snigger..as a veggie eating female fluffy bunny I wont venture
any comment on the various usage of redundant innards....
brings a whole new prepective to male creativity! :o)

OK people I'm hopping off now - sees you all on Monday, I'm

Don't get blown away in the gales.............

Socs, guess the best guy to opine would be Hightone but he's probably at the races.
Yes, sometimes I wish for snow but then I awake to glorious weather.
Last week we had some overcast days, temp dropped to low 70's which is perfect for golf and a lovely release from the sun.
We also had the Cape Doctor wind blowing a nice breeze and for two nights had a single half blanket on the bed at night instead of just a light sheet.
In July/Aug we'll have plenty of rain and temps into v. low teens and at night occassional frost with snow on surrounding mountains, which is also great. Large log burning fire every night!!
Hasta la vista all....

I nearly forgot to get potatoes for Sunday dinner. I had to take my youngest arround to one of the local rabbit warrens for a party (managed not to get lost - if it had been 'she who thinks she should be obeyed' taking the child she would have run out of petrol before finding her way out), didn't see stockpotbunny or any of her relatives.

Good work, T_i_m. 99 grand is good going.
Still, I'm very pleased with my choice, especially as I am ahead of esteemed investors like Bullshare and Croc.
Not bad for a virtually random choice. It just goes to show that all this fundamental/technical analysis stuff is a load of whassername. If the market is going up, buy something good (i.e. in the FTSe100) and if its going down sell something bad.
I did forget the pots for Sunday.
I'm thinking about going to Tesco's now.
You'd think I'd have something better to do.
I knew I shouldn't 've switched this machine on.
nite all.

Before I go, does anybody know if there is a Dax thread in the Investors room?
I have looked in case you think I am being lazy.

Sounded more like a washing powder to me :-)

No, I think you mean Lax or Duz!
Is it time for a brew? I'll light a bonfire under the kettle.

Who let the bonfire under the kettle go out?
BTW Dax is German washing powder.

Has that kettle boiled yet? Just been out trolley racing and antique fair loitering. Started home down the M5 and the heavens opened, no drought here for sure. River Severn looked almost level with the road at Upton, locals must be getting quite worried.
To get back to washing powder, does anyone remember Rinso and Oxydil, and whatever happened to tide, did it just ebb away?

Ravey..thats it then, your birthday contribution, I like that joke.Saw the great Harry Webb at 'Two Eyes'.
I bloody hated 30,really was the only birthday I didn't want to happen, 20,40 even 50 no worries, I know where on the hill of life I am, but 30!!!
Out of radio 1 onto 2 and JY prog, bet you get slippers at Crimble...you'll see!!! and maybe, fanfare of trumpets, a hot water bottle knitted cover!!!WOW.
.
I was between marriages, not met the present mrs.lw, looking after a couple of the fairer sex, 'Dancing Queen' was no.1, still had a gay time without lifting shirt tails. Had a brand spanking new Ford Capri 1.6 GL sort of deep yellow with brown imitation leather interior! Thought it was the biz.
Four of us took it down to Nice, we all stayed on the attic floor above a friends restaurant there, the girls didn't mind the closeness of things,nudge,nudge I wonder what happened to them, prob. married to a barrister or something.
Anyway, have a superb night 'cos it's the beginning of the end...lw
