Will be good to get back to our regular meetings In the new year.

Hope all have a happy wotsit and all have a Peaceful and Prosperous New Year. Off to see the outlaws now -):

As in:

"OUTLAWS"

Outlaws are known to have very special qualities, that no other class
offers. Their specialty tends to be in the darker, sneakier art. Many of
these qualities can come in handy in many situations, such as picking
locks.

An outlaw can go into many divisions of fringe life, such as slicers,
thieves, smugglers, and other criminal professions.

Hope you're not travelling (by train) on New Years Eve:

Rail companies said hundreds of people who booked tickets for trains would have to use rail replacement buses instead.
Chris Gibb, managing director for Virgin Trains, said Network Rail's engineering planning processes were in a mess.

Tis Xmas Eve.... So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the readers of this thread.....

Dragon Smoke Stout, made by the Beowulf Brewing Company in Brownhills, Walsall, has been awarded a bronze medal by the Campaign for Real Ale.

Four and a half trading hours left in the old.

Then prosperity (?) in the New Year - we hope...

A sign saved from Birmingham's landmark HP Sauce factory is being put on show in a city gallery.

Research to develop the ale with Shropshire brewery Hanby Ales, based in Wem, took 18 months....
.... Now fully developed, Harrys Beer is a modest 4.2 per cent alcohol, and described as light and fruity with extracts of orange.

The first pint of the new tipple was poured at the Salopian Bar in Shrewsbury.

Sorry Boys, sorry.

I don't think I can make the next meeting as seem to be needing further repair work.

Have had repeated dislocations of replacement hip.

At the next meeting try and keep out of trouble as I won't be present to keep you in order.

Happy New Year to All.

Very sorry to here that Fred, I'm also getting tide up with the ongoing house problems again.

Will have to review the situation early next week now I'm afraid everyone.

Happy New Year all.

See the US is weak again, so it's business as usual.

You might have thought Fred would have had better service............

Fred..... Good Luck with your further repair work ..... At least Network Rail won't be carrying it out..... and hopefully the fire alarm won't go off half way thru....

Do they do extended warranties........?

No! They consider me as old redundant stock.

Three of us for personal reasons cannot make next weeks meeting, so regretfully I think that it is best to cancel the meetings until further notice.

Just doing a pre-prandial review of the general situation. Something caught my eye and made me wonder if the good Doctor will be tipping Smith and Nephew in the near future...........

55, I think I would prefer to top the surgeon who put it in me.

Actually looking around for a punt and the chart is interesting as is recent news.

But at the moment I think the moon and the sun and a few other things are not in the right orbits for me, (Like my hip). Very difficult market to read. I wish there would be a more defined trend.

Is the jolly old Sale of Goods Act applicable in these circumstances? Litigation - the NHS is hardly a "man of straw"....... Do you know where the said surgeon lives?

55, are you still using Self Trade. If so how are you getting on with their new plarform. Just been playing with it and find it bloody confusing,

Will try again.

Mixed feelings. I was cursing it before Christmas due to it being uselessly slow. Also could not get any research data like I used to - not that I used it that much as it was usually too vague.

Currently using Madam's broadband set up and finding the speed is well up to scratch.

Also the trades it does do have developed the nasty habit of losing money!

2008 is going to be rough.

So, did anyone actually invest in Worldspreads itself after the Brum seminar ? ..... The nice rise in its (WSPR) share price since the seminar continued today ....
