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's latest obliquely refers back to cologne

I wonder how this will play out . Iran accuses Suadis of bombing Embassy . bbc .

for sure there's much public sabre rattling, but certainly the present situation is very volatile and pretty scary too ...... i'm sure all will be working very hard behind the scenes to prevent escalation

cynic - I'm guessing he will tell you children are exempt from fasting.

One comment I do agree with from The daily Mail:-


"No changes should be made to any school curriculum or exam timetable to suit any religious group."

yes chris - all of the above
certainly that is what i would have guessed

OK, you lot.....

The FTSE's crashed once again and is now just about sat on support.

What's on your immediate 'Buy List'

NOTHING!

Kippers.

I've just bought myself a pair of new monitors.

My present wife tells me "There's nothing wrong with them. You must be crazy!"

I just told her, "I fancied a change."

Exec , BARC / LLOY / possibly GKN if your looking for small bounce back movements.
I'm tempted by BP. but not all the time oils going down .

Bought and sold this one on the dips .

Thanks for a sensible reply, JB.

By the way, is anyone interested my two very excellent, totally unmarked, Dell Ultrasharp 2209A 22" 178/178 6ms 1680x1050@60Hz 'anti-glare' monitors? I still have the boxes and the monitors are both in 'as new' condition and with no missing pixels. The stands are fully adjustable and the monitors also rotate to the 'portrait' position.

Before anyone asks me, it's £180 'delivered for the both of them.

I've just worked out, that a 1,000 shares investment in GKN, at say buying price of £2.80 and sold at a profit of 20p in a few days time, would get you my monitors for nothing.

There looks to be ample cheap looking shares around but they could get cheaper still, I like CNA @ 206p; TW. @191p and play the commodities with BRWM @ 173p.

Exec,

Be careful you might be giving your wife ideas.

I've already asked her if she wants to buy them, Fred, but she says, that since she feels quite secure, she most likely will prefer the new ones.

She tells me she is not buying 1,000 GKN either.

I think we might both go out and walk the dog. It's a bit wet out there, though.

There are some new bras for sale with up to 70% off.

Does 'no shoulder straps' count as 70% of a bra?

Hmmm?

Up to 70% off

a bra that is 70% off has been undone single-handed and already has one breast freed and the other on its way out

E/L are they Mac compatible do you know or does it not matter these days? also how old are they and are they anything like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-2209WA-1680-x-1050-22-LCD-TFT-Monitor-VGA-DVI-USB-16-10-Adj-Stand-Grade-A-/191761105136?hash=item2ca5da40f0:g:jzAAAOSw~otWcWE9

Come on then... answer the question as we say on here these days -):
