Hils..lucky my name wasn'tCrap eh! Hanging great but in need of a dip in the pool....*****SPLASH !!!!
Tim..stay in, more to come, imho..
LW..Don't expect too many in Iraq are dipping in the pool, no, now living full time in winelands of South Africa [Paarl]. Did Cairo and the Nile a few years ago very begrudgingly; yurned out the best and most interesting trip I'd ever done, I loved every minute except for the dreaded 'Gypie' tummy and paying 1 egyptian [20p] per 10 sheets of toilet paper to the man standing outside the lavatory door whilst I was inside suffering!! We had 3 days at the Cairo Intercontinental to do the Museum [fantastic] and the Pyramids plus Sphinx [also terrific]. We also flew to Abu Simbal from the Naswan Dam well worth doing. If you get the chance do go to the Son et Laumiere at both Karnak and the Pyramids, really eerie and spellbinding. Never quite got my head around it all, talk about thought provoking. Valley of the Kings, watch out for rip off boys and don't drink the water but have fun, see you for tea at the Luxor hotel where Agatha Christie wrote "Death on the Nile"......lw

Down here in darkest Cheltenham it has been a super bright and sunny day. I've just come in from the garden where I have been hoeing a couple of rows of old spot snorker bushes. I felt it was necessary to keep the strain alive in case lw ever comes over for a visit. He does love his snorkers!
I'd love to see the pyramids and the sphinx but I just loathe travelling. Do you think we could persuade the Egyptian government to bring them over for an exhibition sometime?
Where's Vasey, the bubbly is going flat?

Socs dear boy, hello old chap.
Been doing a bit of missionary work, its a new position for me!
It might be worth you doing a bit in your neck of the woods, right load of heathens get in the Pittville Pump Rooms, Cavendish House and Queens Hotel. Remember Charles Irving, he was a bit of a lad in his heyday, long gone now I believe; did he hail from Charlton Kings?
Correct on the snorkers, keep the bushes well watered and don't forget the top dressing.
Bloody Biltong over here; I mean, who hangs perfectly good rib-eye on a bush in the sun and lets it dry out, bloody sacriledge that's what it is!
That King Tuts death mask is unbelievable, solid gold it hypnotises you, wow!
LW you are correct in saying its 2 hours ahead here, did I say otherwise? bloody computer error if I did!
Have a great w/end all....lw

Good morning all.
Jeffmack, Richmond! Very nice place. Good pizza parlours in Richmond.

I'm here, a little late but better late than never, as the saying goes. Sorry but by 23.03 last night I was on the way to bedfordshire so didn't see your post. I'll have the trifle now as an appetiser before luncheon.

No, you help yourself, little woman. This place is kept stocked by the fairies. Just don't eat all the hob nobs or dog biscuits. And, of course, leave a few cans of Boddingtons ....

Did I hear someone say 'free dog biscuits' ?
I'm back ( while stocks last )
My Paws are killing me after all the walking over the beautiful weekend
Any leftover trifle ? Its for soothing sore paws - and nice to lick off afterwards
Any views as to why the market is down what with the DJ storming up last Friday ?
Is there some news - I've been out of the loop - ( what a terrible expression )

Olddog: that must have been a very long walk. Did you know the trading game had started without you?! I was so looking forward to seeing what you'd choose.

Olddog,
The market is currently 100% war/news driven. Basically the war's not going so well at the moment (Iraqi resistance/allied casualties/Saddam maybe still alive/looks like he's got chemical weapons) so it's down. Coupled with that, it was looking very overbought towards the end of last week plus Friday was options expiry so there's no real reason for it to be up.

Any COLD trifle left over ? ( strictly for the blisters on my paws )
Little Woman : 'Profit taking' Ah yes I remember doing something like that. The last time was about five years ago. Very enjoyable it was too.
vasey : Had second thoughts on keeping up. I'm in a little comp over on iii & its as much as my tiny mind can do to keep up with that. I second one would be just to much
hilary : "war/news driven. Basically the war's not going so well at the moment (Iraqi resistance/allied casualties/Saddam " sounds like i'm best off not being in the loop

Couldn't find any really cold trifle, Olddog, but I've left you a pot of vanilla ice cream with a gooey chocolate ripple bit, fresh from the freezer.

Thanks
Even Cold custard would do the trick
I see the DJ is being marched down. Suppose it was a one day wonder so that the futures & options people came out with the right answer. Markets ? laugh.
