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.

fred - if you choose to pay the taxman what you don't actually have to, then of course that is your choice

Didn't realise I have a choice!

UMMMK

you have told us on many occasions that you prefer to take a (your) moral stance on paying your taxes and thus do not even take any simple legit action to avoid .... or is that just sticky (who isn't talking to me at the moment - stupid boy)?

The mantra of Haze and his gormless party!

Anyone know how to paste a chart in the header please ??

This thread or a new thread?

Also, from Moneyam charts?

Yes Fred money am charts and a new thread

Jimmy

First of all, to do that you have to be the opening poster and use your own 'Edit' button.

If you are not the opening poster, then go to the Chart page and set up what chart it is that you want posting. eg, time period, indicators, etc.

Having done that then MoneyAM have made a tool which picks up the pertinent HTML code for the user to use with a Copy and Paste. You will actually see this HTML at the bottom of the Chart page presented for the user to use.

Now here's the thing to do......

Take the URL address of that Chart page from the top of your browser and Copy and Paste this link to it into your thread using the MoneyAM chain link tool (.

Now you have made it very easy for Ian, our resident MoneyAM 'techie' to kindly do the job for you. But you do need to politely ask him to do this.

Q. So where would you do that?
A. In the 'bugs thread' would be a good idea. He is always reading that. Agreed? : It's HERE

Thanks Excec , you'll probably see it all up next year sometime , as you can tell i won't be applying for a job in Silicon Valley .

US growth cools to 2.6% in fourth quarter
The US economy grew 2.6 per cent in the fourth quarter – below consensus expectations for a 3 per cent increase. That was a marked slowdown from the 5 per cent annualized pace set in the third quarter.
Real personal consumption spending rose an annual 4.3 per cent in the fourth quarter, accelerating from the 3.2 per cent in the third, according to official data.


markets won't like that
it's also the last trading day of the month, which would likely bring erratic trading in any case

Go for it Jimmy! Risk making a fool of yourself!

:-)

And don't forget - you do have an 'Edit' button to wipe everything out and swap for just a mere 'full stop' after you've made a right mess and posted your incorrect stuff up.

By the way, it's a bit sad to lose Goldfinger and Doodlebug. We shall miss their good stuff.

If only these guys had taken the 'Marshmallow Test' when they were younger and learnt a bit of self discipline.

Ah well.

i don't think (hope) they haven't been sent into outer space .... perhaps yellow carded, but i don't know

JB.

Exec is right.

Can't remember writing similar before.

Heard a rumour they are meeting at dawn outside the LSE.




Both will carrying their laptops.

Sad, I like GF's and Db 3.5's inputs.

Gf's were often instructive.

i'll drop him a private e-
of course he may be sulking so badly that he has blocked my mails

Maybe he is watching us all from afar.

Cynic, from earlier.. HMRC will pay interest if they were wrong with your VAT calculation and at fault. You must claim the money from them, they won't simply pay out.

as it stands, the bastards won't even accept that they owe
fortunately my accountant who is handling this, is dead hot and won't just roll over (even though he's apparently dead!)

Well it'll be next on the agenda then once your accountant proves that the VAT is in-fact due back to you. See the below link.
