I limp nowadays so you can catch me very easily.

Looks like I've been toppled ;)

Martini - Is that a bizarre limp, a wonky limp, or a limpy limp?

dotel - toppled? - you've disappeared girl!

Can we have a prize for the one most furthest away please? just asking! A bizarre prize at that!

Oh what FUN I am second. Which proves that a monkey and a pin is more accurate than research. Off to get a job in the City as I am an ace FTSE trader now, and can pretend I know what I am talking about. AJRen, back to the drawing board my son, you are being beaten by a monkey with a pin. Woolies sell my FTSE accurate forecasting tool for 1 for a box of 50.

Daytona aka Guy the Gorilla

You was robbed, Daytona - I've been saving 'em out of hanky packs for years ;)

Hi littlewoman,

You mistakenly said closed at 4454.4 instead of 4491.60

Can I have 4380 for July LW.thanks.

Thanks ajren, I updated the FTSE figure that I use to automatically work out the individual positions - instead of the figure used to post (which the other figure is supposed to update automatically).....

My mind is elsewhere still.....

Arjen, look im in the top 10, maybe i'm taking this a little too seriously.
