Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

PS.

Though it was Ballyall.

Been informed by a postman from our nearest town, that they have been told that if there is a possibility of slipping on snow/ice they are not to deliver, re the old Elf and Safety.
Be nice to see what the official Post Office party line is when/if they reply to my E-Mail.
Both milkman and dustbin men made it today, no problem.

I wonder what they are putting in your milk?

Any thrill-seeking adventurers out there, that want to earn a few quid for charity?

If you were a teacher in a state school would you A live near the school or B risk your car to get in to suffer a day's abuse?

Shall we have a whip round to get the sponsorship to send Fred over the top of that tower.

We often see analyst recommending companies for investment.
For many years I have received a daily list, often as I have mentioned before these lists give differing recommendations.

Todays list is a good example.

Kesa Electricals KESA Altium Capital Buy 171.80p - - Reiteration Electricals KESA
Kesa Electricals KESA Shore Capital Sell 171.80p - - Reiteration
Kesa Electricals KESA Seymour Pierce Hold .

Well one of these will be right, with two wrong. I wonder how many investors pay big amounts for recommendations from these people.

Which is the analyst for the House Broker?

At a guess Altrium - or Altrium are trying to drip feed a large block into the market
Another guess - they dumped Shore at some point or Shore are trrying to buy a load
Another guess Seymour aren't interested enough to make an effort

Love the new ad for Hublot watches.

Good old Bernie!

.

mnamreh - He was mugged and his 11k watch was among the things stolen.. I would guess he has a free replacement now ;)

Talking about 'mugging', funny how the plaintive cry of the English football supported 'We wus robbed' ain't been heard since the Fifa fiasco.
Also are we sure its Bernie Ecclestone. Before I read the name in the ad, I though it was David Beckham after commiserating with a few beers after the Fifa announcement.

.

They wouldn't have mugged him if he was with his wife.

Presumably that would be on account of how he got divorced 2 years ago?

Funnily enough, Ecclestone was a customer of my husband nearly 30 years ago when he used to run a firm called Motor Racing Developments in Chessington. He was reasonably big in motor racing at that time, but not the supremo he is now.

My husband never had such a pernickity customer and everything had to be so, so precise. My husband used to have a set of normal prices and a special set of "Bernie prices" which were multiplied by a factor of 10 to account for the hassle.

I did say IF

Anyone fancy a holiday in South Africa?

However, first note the following:

Rule 1. Strongly bear in mind, that most tourists and taxis will not be stopping at traffic lights in South Africa - as per Rules 2 and 3 below.
Rule 2. Definitely do not stop at traffic lights in taxi.
Rule 3. Definitely do not stop at traffic lights in rental car.
Rule 4. Honeymoons in South Africa are definitely out. Your new wife could get kidnapped at the traffic lights and then be taken to be shot.
Rule 5. Beware of all Taxi Drivers in South Africa.

Amazing or wot?

Which of the below would you prefer to buy a used car off?

Cameron
Osborne
Clegg
The tory front bench.

Would you check the number of wheels first?


PS. Alds,

I am surprised you can spell "IF".

" buy a used car off? " Try a OF at the end of that sentence.
