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.

Pity we don't have a system here where I could have gf and cynic moderated off the FLYB thread, similar to the CR thread on ADVFN!

Shortie you get market news far quicker on twitter than you do through the normal channels.

You also have all the top Funds giving details of their actions of the day, recommendations etc etc,

Top fund managers who I interact with.

Its just a brilliant platform for traders/investors alike.

FX indicies charting the lot.

Plus build up a decent following (nearly 5000 now)and they follow you into a stock if you have a good reputation and push the SP higher. Re tweets means its like a pyramid system and yes you can move a lot of the FTSE 350 not just small caps.

I think its brilliant and all this clap trap about it harbouring terrorists well its just a snap shot of society in general.

Theres nothing on twitter I couldnt find here in a 2 mile radius if I really needed it.

A following of nearly 5000 who will folllow you into a stock if you have a good reputation ---------- the problem is your reputation is shot gf and as Chris Carson has already pointed out, you only have about 3 followers.

Aye and that's on a good day! LOL!!!!

shortie

as they've learnt about it at school.

Brain washed at school by pro EU lefty teachers you mean

.

Close to his heart.

Stupid cartoons , very childish as well

for once i think it's quite funny even if not true

Aldwick, I suppose it depends on where your educated... But not all teachers are pro... Over the years in conversation I have asked hundreds of people if they voted for the EEC back in the 70's, I'm still to find someone who did which questions how we ended up in the EU anyway.

Personally I think the General Election is complete fast. The decisions have all ready been made and all the General Election does is completes the perception that we all live in a democracy.. Who ever you vote for it'll make no difference to the outcome of EU membership anyway. Politicians can never be pinned down on a complete manifesto and if they could you'd see they all had the same one anyway!

I would ban left winged teachers and then we would have a proper democracy.

at least if teachers don't have right wings, they'll just keep flying around in circles, or even plummet to earth

i'm not a teacher, but certainly i voted to join eu though i now fall into the "uncertain" camp

Is Dave's re-election strategy going tits up?

The pace of house price growth slowed sharply in the last three months of 2014, according to Nationwide building society, but ended the year 8.3% higher than in 2013.

In more evidence of the rapidly cooling property market, three regions of the UK – the north-west, Yorkshire and Humberside, and Wales – recorded outright price declines in the final quarter of 2014.

Across the UK, average prices edged up 0.2% in December and 1.1% in the quarter, taking the average price to £189,002. In London, the typical home changed hands for £406,730, up 2.5% on the quarter and up 17.8% over the 12 months. Prices in the capital are now 35% above their former 2007 peak.

I think the EEC was a good idea in its time, but its evolved from being about trade what was voted for, into a big brother government. The wider EU now covers legislation on immigration, wages, environment, human rights, financial market regulation, data and information, criminal law etc etc etc.... I stand firmly against being in the EU.

I think it would be sensible for the USA to devolve more that it already is. Perhaps, into shanty towns.

Manuel,

I am glad you are uncertain.

That is how I feel about you. (Better be careful what I feel.)

But I thought you were a man of convictions.

so is jeffrey archer :-) ....
however, my mindset on any number of issues is not nearly as fossilised as your own, as indeed should be apparent from my posts, should you bother to read them without distorting what is actually there

Alf convictions?... oh dear what for, come on you naughty boy answer the question.

importuning apparently, though i never did understand what that meant, so pleaded guilty just for the hell of it ..... it really was a damn cold day and wanted to get back to my free b&b in the warm

I think it is time to use Manuel's excuse of "I don't read other peoples posts".

I already know what to believe!!

Manuel,

Look up "importuning", it is different to "importing"!

I suppose the difference is only small and business is business.
