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.

I think that picture just shows how in touch with certain groups of people the Chancellor really is! lol.. Cameron on the other hand I still think is completely out of touch with the majority of people in the country..

i know you've done very well indeed over the last few weeks .... i've just been my usual moronic self, but never mind

i can see many reasons NOT to be bullish but things rarely go as expected ...... for sure the world economies have been very badly hit for the last several months as is indicated by storage depots across the world being crammed to bursting with idle kit

the collapse in crude prices is also something of a double-edged sword and of course the price for basic hard commodities has been beaten to a pulp

in the uk itself, the looming general election is unsettling enough and with the strong likelihood of another weak gov't in prospect, and certainly one without an overall majority (its hue matters not), why should ftse have any reason to be perky?

I bet Georges response was "lets draw a line under it and move on!!"... lol

Cyners e-mail.

Casey do you want one????? a positive e-mail I meant not one up the axxe.

Strictly hetro me Casey.

talking of which, i had my thrill of the month today with a prostate check :-)

Not according to Fred! You actually want to send ME a positive e-mail?

GF,

Agreed with your postings.

Hope the "manipulations" are investigated after the election, unless of course the etonian mafia are losing the "records" already.

Manuel,

Lucky, me. Cleared the table of my share bets on Friday.

Pure anxiety and luck.

But as a pleb only need enough for a bowl of porridge and a few pulses to survive on.

Must admit thinking of dipping long again.

Not sure.

Prefer somebody to outline George with chalk marks. Lovely fellow.

If a prostate check is your thrill of the month Cynic I'd hate to ask what your highlights for this year have been!!

Yep, I dont hold grudges Chris for more than a few weeks.

Just blow hot and cold you should know that by now.

Anyway its xmas.

No tricks

Ill send it via the message service.

it's always good to know one's prostate is as smooth as a baby's bottom, though the psa count is still awaited

how's yours fred, or was it whipped out years ago?

Blimey nearly fell off my chair gf. Ditto if you mean it.

Yep no probs, I dont hold grudges. Well not for long.

Hope u like it.

I saw my doctor today.

He told me that I am still in the same imperfect order I was 40 years ago and have arranged to meet up after Xmas for a dinner.

(If we can find the right food bank.)

I hope he means I have a little more time left than I expected.

Takes 22 days now to see my GP, what a state of affairs.

Ring him and get your wife to tell him you that you have just died and you need a death certificate and cremation form sign.

In a market economy it is amazing what the response is to a little fee is.

LOL, your right about that tho he trys to get me on all sorts of pills just to pick up those commissions they get.

I blame it on Hays and the like and there silly relaxed attitude of everything that is wrong with this present rotten nasty Tory government.

Supposed to be a Weather Bomb hitting here in the next 2 hours.

Suppose it will be better watching that than the market at the moment.

Jezze a tree 20 ft long as just blown past the window............no kidding.

fred - i hope you don't find out he has cannibalistc tendencies!

gf - perhaps he's so fed up with hearing your gripes that he hopes you'll have died by the time he sees you .....
i doubt we ever have to wait more than a week here, unless you want/need to see a specific doctor, in which case, perhaps it's a little longer

Have to say that my GP is bloody brilliant, best one I've ever had... Not sure where he's originally from mind but he makes me laugh, holds his hands up and says lets try something different and talks sense...

And if all else fails I do have BUPA..
