Thanks for your comment on TBI, took a bite last week and wanted to go in stronger on this potential T/O stuff. Just got home and note that the T/O spec is rising again. Will watch it closely could be a good turn here.

I subscribe to the principle of "never buy for the takeover" because many of them never happen. If an investment does not stand on it's own merits I now leave well alone. If a takeover happens that's a bonus, but I've seen so much T/O speculation where nothing transpires and the price has then drifted off that I now ignore it. Oddly the only two shares I've held where takeovers occured were both out of the blue and in fact unwelcome. Perhaps I've been unlucky.

Thanks socs, sound comments you make,I will give it a while as I think TBI is a reasonable stock to hold 'on Merits'
Had enough tea now, going to try a Stella.

I see stockpotbunny is trying to put everyone off ordering the rabbit pie again.
Salmon should be cooked on its own in a frying pan so that one can taste the salmon, not garlic etc. (except the tasteless farmed, glow in the dark, cooks itself by nuclear radiation and toxic chemicals, stuff)

Sorry jeffmack you are too late my friend, Poochy said he would be very strict with the deadline! You are entitled to a free pint at the bar instead.
Where did all these Salmon fishes come from? The cooler is full of em??
Poochy jumps into his basket and falls asleep.

Poochy is going to have to be more careful, that basket is the laundry basket with all the cafe linen. He'll be out of the washer/dryer in about 45 minutes when the drying cycle ends. Hope he likes a tumble, I'm told he does!

It's very quiet in here today. I'll open the windows and give the place an airing. Then I'll make myself some good old fashioned corned beef rissoles.

You haven't lived until you've tried my corned beef rissoles. I've yet to find someone who has had one and not come back for a plateful. It's the crispy browned outside that does it every time, irresistable.
I've had a good day on the shares game, about 3.5k up.
