You must admit they are quite stylish as boxes go. Don't worry about them, that's how MaM make their dosh. Open another bottle and drown your worries, mind you it doesn't work if you are worrying about becoming an alcoholic.

Yes i do not believe it myself but poochy managed to pull it off and stay at the top to win with a decent 105,844.68. (mutley snigger). Hightone not far behind and stayed in the exclusive 100k club, and This is me came in third playing very well during the Game.
Hilary never showed any threat but i think she was just giving us a bit of a chance this time (she will always be the Queen of Trading), and the wonderful Gianni came in last (You win a free Bods!)
The Best performing Investor Woman goes to the Sweet Bunny with her M&S investment beating off little woman in the last day or so - well done.
Gianni who is full of good heart promised 100 to the winners designated charity but with the recent sad happenings to Croc it is only fair that this money should go to Crocs family and for them to decide where the money can go to. Thankyou Gianni for such kindness.
Have a nice weekend everybody and good luck on the gee gee's.
jeffers, i will have 100 e/w on Antonio Canova

Congratulations, Poochy! A most deserving winner and a thoughtful gesture to donate Gianni's generous prize to the charity named by David's family. I thought I would copy the relevant bit here.

In lieu of flowers, the family request that you make a donation to worthwhile cause that has touched our families life: Please send any donations marked:

I imagine that David would be relieved his shares at least ended in credit but most of all he would be overwhelmed by your kind and generous gesture. I'm very proud of the lot of you.

Thanks for the Map Socs.
If you'd said Ramsgate I would've known.
I've a feeling I've flown from there in the far distant past (70's)
when someone at work chartered some seats for us to go to an
interbank football tournament in Paris. I don't remember seeing a football.
Cracking result in the game, GD.

post 6739 interesting that MAM takes along time to load on broadband, I'm on dial up and was considering converting to broadband because of how long it takes me to load this site, seems like I should save my money.

I use pipex ADSL and cant praise it enough. I'm not on it all day as I'm at work, but never had a problem last 12 months.
MAM loads quick as you like so might be LW's settings.

Did you hear about the chap who applied for three race-horse names, Pericles, Sophacles and Testacles. He got two out of three! Nice try.

I'm off out soon to join some friends who are finally picking up their cat. They got very drunk one night and bought a cat on the internet, paying hundreds of pounds for it. Finally they saw a real photo of this thing and it looks like a rat with a moustache. Having never owned a cat, they have to buy scratching posts, baskets, collars and other accessories. So this cat is now 14 weeks old because it has taken them so long to take responsibility for a little internet exuberance....ok exuberance generated by alcohol. So, off to Dunstable soon

Would it be improper to suggest re-selling this thing/cat on E-Bay?

If it's all the same with you, I'll have a cup of tea. Just pull back the covers and slide in.
