CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Speaking of Thursday's, a couple of letters made me chuckle..

SIR - Bill Clarke is missing the point (Letters, Feb 8) when he writes about the "pointlessness" of MacArthur sailing around the world. Surely the point was that a French bloke did it last year - a bit slower.

SIR - It has taken B&Q longer to install my 10ftx7ft kitchen than it has taken MacArthur to sail round the world.

Chocolat, yes no problems, if anyone else wants anything form Germany post here and I will ensure that I pick up and infinte virtual supply while I am over there.

Unfortunately not, Choccie, but thanks anyway. Hohumm.

Having lived in Bavaria for a couple of years, I
think the only thing I wanted there, was a ticket
home!

So Wales ahead at half time ..... Edinburgh
buzzing with Irish (hope its not too
humiliating!)!

Is it the cricket season already.

Spaceman: My dad left a bit of his Lancaster over there. Sort of tube shaped thing with fins. I think it will have probably gone off by now!

7thfloor, I will keep and eye out for it ;-)

jj50, I know what you mean, I am going to Koln which isnt exactly the nicest town in Germany!

Spaceman How do you manage to monitor shares 'n stuff while you're doing - what was that phrase again? - Oh yes, work?
I tried to do a bit of that a while ago but found I was missing so much info and opportunities with the share trading. It simply wasn't worth it for me. There again you're probably paid a lot more than I was! :-)

7th Floor - I had the same thoughts!
Gone off the idea of "real" work - can't
afford it :-)

"Real Work" - I tried it once but it didn't suit me! :-)

7thfloor, I dont monitor them hour by hour only day by day and I dont have many at the moment!

Hil: I have Wednesday's Torygraph but I guess I'm too late. Sorry, didn't see your post in time. BTW, are you coming to the London Traders's Day with the false beard again this year?

Morning All, Its Sunday and I am allowed a FEB today ....

Good morning Spaceman. I'll join you with an FEB. Lovely stuff.

I wasn't in much yesterday although I kept tabs on what went on, I was busy chasing ancestors around the internet. Surprising how elusive they can be.

Umh, is it the smoking policy that's keeping folks out? Anyway it does seem a nice quiet place to put my feet up for an hour. Before I do that I'll make a coffee and see what Bunny has left us in the fridge, or perhaps a piece of Priscilla's lemon drizzle cake, although it may not be drizzling at its best after a night in the fridge.

Just you & me in here O? I've had the last of the lemon cake. Sorry!

Optmisitic, I hope the smoking policy isnt causing any problems, Happy to change it if it is.

Just got back from a drive, strange weahter here, bright and suuny one moment then heavy rain and no visibility then snow then sun.

Right I am off up to the smoking room to read the sunday papers.

I know even God took Sundays as a day of rest but I can't leave you chaps in here eating stale LDC! So, as Jeffmack is clearly failing to meet demand, there's a freshly baked LDC for you all on the side. Please leave a large slice for Lamby so he feels appreciated too.

Yummy Lemon Drizzle Cake, my favorite. Lamby has eaten so much that he has fallen asleep !
