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.

Ain't it odd.

The little Inglanders in the Uk are crying out for the democracy of having a referendum and yet they are condemning the Greeks for having the same rights.

One rule for one lot and another for us.

Are you comparing the Uk's debt situation with Greece's ?

Colleges lose licences in immigration crackdown

More than 470 UK colleges have been barred in the last six months from accepting new foreign students from outside Europe, the Home Office says.

They either had licences revoked or did not sign up to a new inspection system - part of government efforts to curb abuse of the immigration system.

It estimates the colleges could have brought in 11,000 students.

The changes were designed to weed out those colleges that were in fact involved in systematic attempts to get workers into the UK by helping them pose as students.

I am an 'August' baby and don't remember it holding me back at the school for young offenders. :-)


School odds stacked against summer babies, says IFS

Children born in the summer in England are at an academic disadvantage throughout school, says a report from the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

The study says that among seven-year-olds, August-born children are more than three times as likely to be "below average" as September-born children.

My first thought was what on Earth is the Archbishop of Canterbury getting involved for. But then I thought - he probably knows as much as the experts.

Maybe his just getting on the anti capitalist band wagon.

This brings new meaning to Estate Agent jargon "The property has a wonderful aspect".

Barry caravan park cliff landslip inquiry continues

Investigations will continue into how a landslip left 15 caravans teetering on the edge of a cliff in south Wales.

Why on earth would anyone be interested in the opinion of the Archbishop of Canterbury. Do all leaders of religious sects and believers in the paranormal and faries get to have their views on financial matters published irrespective of how little they know about it.

And thats coming from Haystack? lol

I suppose you think we should take advice on financial matters from fairy worshippers.

Not at allI would just steer clear of your advice!not been too clever in the past.

I am not giving advice. And if you are referring to Blinkx, I still think its valuation is absurd and it will crash at some point. I have no quarrels with its share price as that is based on sentiment. It is the real valuation that is wrong. Iam sure peopke willmakemoney at present on Blinkx, but some will end up losing a lot at the end. There have been so many tech stocks like Blinkx over the years that prove popular and have silly market caps. Blink is just another one.

Haystack,

Fully agree.
What a hypocritical lot the church leaders are.
The church is one of the largest land owners in the UK.
They also have a huge share portfolio, investments in property, fine art and many other areas of 'Capitalism'.
Practice what you preach (pun intended) springs to mind.

I will pray for the church to see the light.

I must add that I as a believer in fairies and the paranormal, I am slightly insulted that you couple me in the same sentence as religious fanatics.

Greek.

OK Haystackyour continuous 3p valuation on all the BBs with various avatarsand for two years is a genuine piece of advice to all potential investors.you are the one that talks to the fairies!
Not to be trusted in any shape or form my friends!

Not advice. Just my valuation. I have said many times that there is nothing wrong with buying Blinkx despite its silly valuation because money can be made from it in the short term before people find out what a silly company it is.

Yerwe all buy into your sincerity.
