Owl, is there going to be a competition in January?
Perhaps, twelve people could offer their services
on a monthly basis to keep this competition going.
I would (provisionally) be willing to do it in November 2004.

It is up to moneyam and/or volunteers to decide whether or not the competition continues. It is a good idea to suggest volunteers on a monthly basis, lets see if there are any takers.

I did talk to Mike and said I was considering it - but he said moneyam wanted to take it on (and they are donating the prize!).

little woman

thanks for the good news and thanks for considering taking it on yourself

little woman. I must have been drunk when you heard that, I meant to say that it would be great if a user would take it on board and we are happy to help by giving a prize!

Go on you know you want to do it:-)


mike

OK folks, it looks like Mike has twisted my arm (not really!) I'm going to take over the FTSE competition from January and will continue as long as I am in the UK!

I'll start a new Thread, but will carry over the previous winners details so you'll still see all the hard work the owl did on your behalfs. So as soon as it is up and running, please feel free to start posting your entries for Jan 04!

p.s. Mike are you no longer donating the prize?

Well done little woman

We all owe you a vote of thanks Little Woman for being prepared
to take this on - thanks!!

Owl, thanks for doing a superb job and a 'happy retirement'
with all good wishes for the New Year. I think Bullshare
should give you a special booze voucher on the eve of your
retirement.

LW, pleased to see everything has worked out so well.
