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.

A lot of ifs and buts Cyners, Cramer knows his stuff, I suspect short term he'l get it right.
Long term, care to read the tea leafs lol.

he's guessing too
in a worst case scenario, al qaeda (isis) take over southern iraq, but they still need revenue, and oil is that generator
however, it is the unrest, supported by outside agencies, that is the most damaging to regional stability and that is what causes so much concern

Iran will stay out. The US will be doing airstrikes from carrier in the area. We may well help with air attacks.

Obama has said it may take a few days. I imagine that they have to designate targets. It could be cruise missiles or planes.

iran is keen to re-join the fold as it needs to export oil to fill its exchequer

Iran won't be involved officially, but there are fighters streaming across the border. The terrorists have captured several large arsenals of weapons.

Another excellent game (All Blacks vs England) but score at the end rather flattered England
Nevertheless, a lot still to play for next week .... I'll miss Tuesday's game as I'll be in Munich, but back for the last test in Christchurch

Munich? Nazi party political meeting?.
Yep all Blacks were a better side. Played far better than in first test.

but a really good, open and exciting match all round
excellent to see england far from overawed let alone overwhelmed, and both made a contrast to france vs australia, both of whom i thought looked very pedestrian
==============
munich, where a major client of ours is based, is a really nice and fun city ....
but it's also worth remembering that Dachau is only 30 minutes train ride from there
i won't bore you, other than to say i visited there a few years ago and even i had to walk out about 3/4 way round

hamburg is surprisingly pretty but the populace do tend to be on the dour side .... i suppose given the pretty vile winters up there - it can be bitterly cold and damp and really nasty - it's not altogether unexpected

depends on the areas you frequent, though perhaps you have rather given yourself away .... st pauli is certainly very tacky but around binnenalster and the rathausmarkt (no silly jokes please!) is really very nice
