Birmingham Pie and a Pint     

Fred1new - 31 Oct 2004 17:08

Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.
Personally interested in small time investing(gambling), developing an appetite for CFDs. Also developing an interest in Charting or TA.

I use Sharescope, Moneyam, Barclays, Comdirect and IC

Are Shergar, now there's a thought.

.....and cart?

"(what happens when you take it on the train?)"..ah I hadn't thought of that.

>any more suggestions?

Well I think there are a couple of Tuk Tuk's finally operating in Brum now:.

"In Asia, drivers rely on religious artefacts to protect them from crashes. Mr Ponniah, however, has had to satisfy the requirements of the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, which has tested each tuk-tuk."

55 - if you do bring a horse then don't forget to bring Lady Godiva as well ..... I guess the Senior Revenue Officer on the train would let her travel for free...(unless it's Great Western)?

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:40 - 659 of 1427

Hey I like them, can see them catching on as well.

But Bob Oddy, of the Licensed Taxi Drivers Association, said: They can tip over and people can get thrown out".

True .... especially if taking sharp corners at high speed on a wet road ...(personal experience .... although not in Brum).

Stan - 16 Nov 2007 22:45 - 661 of 1427

Oh well perhaps not then -):

So that leaves arrival method #5:

(Although it'll be another couple of months before Fred can use this method).....

And on that then Goodnight.....

Blimey! looks like a high tech batman...never mind the stairs just fly in through the window.

Evening all.

The nag would come in handy if the mechanical horses go phut..............

Given yesterdays posts then it was definitely a Friday evening...!!!

Continuing the transport theme.... just back from the closing 'ceremony' for Digbeth Coach Station....

Stan - 17 Nov 2007 15:36 - 666 of 1427

Are yes saw a news item on that couple of weeks back, looking towards seeing the new one (in a couple of years I think) open. Did you get a chance to pop in to our former venue The Anchor to see if there were any changes?

survived87 - 17 Nov 2007 15:54 - 667 of 1427

Only got to the Coach Station itself. Sat inside a couple of the old Midland Red single deckers including one that used to run to Shrewsbury. Also got aboard the very latest large delux coach which is due for the Heathrow route. Young one was in tow so didn't get to any drinking establishments. I've never been in the Anchor before. All the area on south side of Coach Station being demolished - think thats the area that is going to have the 'Digbeth Place' developement of apartments, bars, restaurants and a hotel. Yes, the new coach station should be ready in two years time (on site of the existing one).

Auctioneers believed the interior of a pub being sold in Handsworth, Birmingham, may be worth more than the building.

What! Gentrification of Digbeth!!. May have to get a listing order on the Anchor's beer engines pronto!!!

You make it sound like typical modern Britain Stan. The old facility closes two years before its replacement opens.

55011 - 18 Nov 2007 10:51 - 670 of 1427

Fred,

I had a glance at the IC while passing a few minutes in the New Street waiting room yesterday evening. I see they recommended to sell back at 277 and it since went up. Probably a fit of pique that they are saying "sell" again. Does that suggest we'll be good for 400 by Christmas? IC contrarianism..........

In the Indie yesterday an item featuring a Cazenove fund manager. He has backed the new management at MCRO since it was installed and has done handsomely. As long as he sits tight...........

Stan - 18 Nov 2007 18:02 - 671 of 1427

Hey chaps,
sounds like some interesting share positioning going on with MCRO. How about one of you setting a thread up for them (incorporating a chart preferably in the header)?

Fred1new - 19 Nov 2007 08:45 - 672 of 1427

Though of joining you tomorrow at the SAS meeting, but realised I would have to bring my own armchair. Have a good meeting.

MCRO is a peculiar company. Although I hold some shares haven't worked it out yet.

I will put the chart up and 55 can add some body to it.

Stan - 19 Nov 2007 09:09 - 673 of 1427

Excellent.
