Forex rebates on every trade - win or lose!

Think 5 minutes is spot on.

Looks great now Hil. 5 min fine

EUR USD lower highs, lower lows M5?

V. cool, Hil, works great on my 1024x768 laptop. Cable's the chart for most folks I would think.

All-in-all, a very sexy bit of stuff -- although I would expect nothing less from you Hil ;-)

Or maybe not! (EUR USD)

Fingers crossed that I've got to the bottom of FrontPage crashing. I'm in the middle of a 108mb download of Service Pack 3 for MS Office 2003. The revamped header should (hopefully) be up and running later today.

I thought these things were meant to download automatically themselves. I've done a Microsoft Update and it's found loads of updates to install.

Hil, FWIW, your new header also works on an iPhone.

Can't quite get it to work on my baked bean tins and a bit of string, DelBoy.

I knew I should have bought Heinz instead of Tesco Value.

:o)

Just watched Rebecca Adlington miss breaking a 800mm swimming World Record of around 8 minutes by about 1/4 of a second. Blimey!! 800m takes me 20 minutes. I need to practise a bit more.

I can swim 800mm in about half a second :)

Hil, I seem to recall that you sent me a pic of your goodself in the pool. You were stripped for speed I think. Shall I post it on here? :)

No, that wasn't me, DelBoy. That was Kylie.

:o)

Did you mean this photo, DelBoy?



It was a hot summer's day in the garden as I remember.

Your turn now.

OUTLOOK Coming week to bring signs of weaker UK economy


- LONDON (Thomson Financial) - The coming week is predicted to bring more signs of a weakening economy especially in the retail and the housing sectors at a time when price pressures remain elevated.

The week will be a busy one and also likely to show that the job market remains sturdy despite signs of weakness elsewhere.

On the whole, the data will once again highlight the problem facing rate setters at the moment -- how to steer interest rates at a time when the economy is clearly slowing but when inflation is surging.




MONDAY, APRIL 14


March producer prices are predicted to remain high. Output prices are seen up 0.7 percent month-on-month and 5.7 percent year-on-year. The core rate which excludes more volatile items is seen rising by 0.3 percent from the previous month and 3.0 percent from a year ago. Input prices, meanwhile, are seen rising by 2.3 percent from February for an annual rise of 19.3 percent. 'Inflation pressures are likely to continue at every level of producer prices,' said David Page citing surges in. commodity prices throughout March.


TUESDAY, APRIL 15


Sales on UK high streets are expected to have slowed down further in March as confidence levels droop. BRC's March retail sales monitor is expected to show like-for-like sales which strips out changes in floor space rising by a paltry annual rate of 1.0 percent, down from 1.5 percent the previous month.


RICS March house price survey is seen showing a further deterioration with fewer and fewer surveyors reporting price gains. The reported prices balance is seen worsening to -67.0 percent from -64.1 percent the previous month.

'We remain sceptical that the floor has yet been reached in reported prices given that lenders continue to restrict supply and raise the price of borrowing,' analysts at RBoS said.


UK inflation is seen rising further, underlining just why the Bank of England cannot go on a rate cutting spree. The CPI annual rate is seen at 2.6 percent in March, up from 2.5 percent the previous month. The wider all items RPI is seen easing to 3.9 pct from 4.1 pct while the RPI-X measure is seen easign to 3.6 percent form 3.7 percent.


WEDNESDAY, APRIL 16


UK job market is seen remaining tight, with the claimant count dropping yet again. Expectations are for a 2,000 fall in March compared with 2,800 in February. Headline average earnings meanwhile are seen easing to 3.5 percent in the three months to February from 3.7 percent in the previous three months.



FRIDAY, APRIL 18


UK March public finances are expected to remain in improvement mode, with PSNB at 8 billion pounds compared with 7.1 billion pounds in the same month last year. PSNCR meanwhile is seen at 18.5 billion pounds from 17.3 billion pounds.

'After a horrendous first nine months, the public finances don't look quite so frightening, helped by a very good January outturn, plus favourable revisions,' said Philip Shaw at Investec.

WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--The Group of Seven leading industrial nations will discuss foreign exchange rates at its meeting Friday, U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Alistair Darling said.

In a question and answer session at the Brookings Institution in Washington, Darling said currency rates have always come up in the past and "I don't have the slightest doubt that it will get discussed" at Friday's G7 meeting.

Darling also said it was vital to achieve "adequate regulation" for the mortgage industry in the U.K. and elsewhere.

He said the regulation needs to focus on both stopping mortgages from being improperly sold through predatory lending and on ensuring that the financial system does not become "overexposed" to mortgage-related lending.

Supervisors need to make sure that when institutions "decide to acquire securitized mortgages they actually know what's in the book," he said.

However, Darling stressed that there's not likely to be a need for "more and more regulation" and that the regulatory reaction to the current crisis must be "proportionate."

The focus needs to be on ensuring effective oversight, he said.

Darling also said "there is a lot to be said for having common standards" on bank write-downs.

He said the increased transparency will help restore confidence to markets.

Darling also said he was not in favor of coordinated fiscal action to tackle the current market crisis.

"There are areas where...coordinated action across the world clearly does work," however, he said that fiscal policy is an area where "individual countries have to judge whether or not that's appropriate."

Darling also said it would be a "real tragedy" if nations become more protectionist. He said that's why it is "so frustrating to see" the Doha round of global trade talks "stall."

"The future most certainly does not lie in protectionism," he said.

Please can you post a full frontal nude picture of yourself.
Thanks.

Dial-a-loss,

I shall be in Formentera for a week in June. Bring a camera and you'll be able to post as many as you want.

Only happy to help.

H.

That'll be the one, Hil.

You been there before Hils ?

I've stayed in Es Pujols myself a few times ... bit quiet for my liking.

You poor dear-I see precisely why you swim so slowly-you are too tense & was that a belly flop we just witnessed?

Given your full co-operation & the correct support I could shave yards off your time

You must start with a full all over waxing followed by a rub down with premium virgin olive oil-this will enable deeper penetration through the water which will in turn help you stretch out fully thus achieving those extra yards

I am available for coaching at short notice should you decide to follow through with your challenge:)

I have a complaint about that photo. There's a distinct lack of detail. I mean you can't tell whether it's a round or rectangular pool. And you need a darker swimsuit. That one could have people believing you're naked

:-)
