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.

DB4,

Are you TT?

No Fred, I'm a wine drinker - in moderation!

As a reminder of this governments supervised recovery

That reminds me , got to recover that deck chair for next summer

PMQs was interesting, if only to see that Milibland is still WEAK.

Aha! It's lunchtime.

Time for a break. Time for some Mozart......

Inflation falling plus unemployment falling plus reduced tax receipts should have the Treasuries alarm bells ringing. AND RINGING LOUDLY.

Especially with all that debt they are ringing up.

Glad Im out of this market, made a mistake this morning buying AHT but who cares with all these falls. Soon back out for a small loss.

Some of the so called experts on advfn have had me in tears of laughter for the past month.

How can they get it so wrong.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Must be sat on some massive loses.

DB4,

What is you wine bill at the end of the month.

Compare it to the average Joe like me!

My kinda girl Exec...

GF, I'm loving these markets, been long, short, long again, big bets, small bets... I love a storm, its raining money for me...

No good for the short term stock player though, ok for intraday trading done a bit on EZJ today. Nicely up and down.

Suppose I could do some shorting but to be honest cant be assed and you get others who are long wound up.

Nice to have rest really in fact longest rest Ive had in years.

Good for us spread betters, I love a short market as you well know... Bounce tomorrow maybe if 6240ish doesn't hold I think..

I'm debating a long play in gold also

POLL: Lord Freud has apologised – should he keep his job? 15/10/2014

Lord Freud has apologised for suggesting that disabled people were not ‘worth’ the minimum wage.

According to The Spectator, he has said:

“I would like to offer a full and unreserved apology. I was foolish to accept the premise of the question. To be clear, all disabled people should be paid at least the minimum wage, without exception, and I accept that it is offensive to suggest anything else.

“I care passionately about disabled people. I am proud to have played a full part in a government that is fully committed to helping disabled people overcome the many barriers they face in finding employment. That is why through Universal Credit – which I referred to in my response – we have increased overall spending on disabled households by £250m, offered the most generous work allowance ever, and increased the disability addition to £360 per month.

“I am profoundly sorry for any offence I have caused to any disabled people.”

Those of you who are disabled will no doubt be extremely interested – if not entertained – by the second paragraph of the above, in which Lord Freud fantasizes about his role in the Conservative-led Coalition’s policies of impoverishing them and forcing them towards death in the gutter or suicide before they get that far.

It is easy to see how ‘Lord Fraud’ got his nickname.

GF.

Can you ask Haze whether Lord Freud is one of the senior tories he is pally with?

I was thinking birds of a feather!

Fraud by name Fraud by nature.

I actualy dont want him to be sacked, I want that to happen when IDS and his poison dwarf Ester get pulled up on the DEATH STATISTICS due before Xmas.

Full disclosure.

Another thing Lord Fraud seems to have overlooked, Universal Credit is only payable to single people at the moment on the pilot scheme.

HAYS.......Can I ask you whether Lord Freud is one of the senior tories you are pally with?

I was thinking birds of a feather!

Well Call Me Dave is taking it seriously, hes thinking over Frauds position.

Another Hunt then.
