5311 for Sept please prodders. Thanks.

5712 for September please.

So it looks like I lead for most of the race, taking the last fence in the lead but stumbling on landing allowing Photomad to gain a short head.
Which one of us will make the finish line first.
Looks like it may be a photo (pun intended) finish.

Mind you if I don't win, I wont have lost, as in todays PC world there are no losers, just those that don't come first.
Yer right.

greekman--Your pessimism has given you a glorious opportunity to win this month, but it is now time for you to be optimistic and think you WILL win. Whether you or Photomad win its been an exciting 2 horse race.

George,

I think that I am perhaps almost 100% certain to win.
Is that better!

Greek.

That's more like it greekman, but only if you can handle disappointment, which given your police background, won't be a problem.

5666 for sep please

5326 for sept, I think........

I've been buying shares for dividend income over the last 5 years. The returns are the highest I have ever had - higher than when the market was last at its high. Not that I'm complaining, I am picking up shares now at prices I am happy with. The only disappointment, are a couple of companys (SSE & GSK) have not dropped as much as I would like for me to add them to my portfolio.

photo-mad i bet you wish your was hour queen you get my vote

5477 please.

5727 for me please

5590 for me please

I'd like to change my September number to 5905 please. :-))

I'm going to change mine too... 6226!

6070 again for Sept please

OK George, with 10 minutes to go I am still confident.
A bit like our Gordon was just before the last election.
