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.

i hear that, alan. a couple of inches of snow and no one can tell it's really an overgrown jungle. looks every bit as nice as the neighbours', with their helicopter pad decking and nicely trimmed, manicured lawn.......

The grass is halfway up our Kitchen window. I was going to mow the lawn in Autumn, but then I thought, Sod it. Let the guy in the flat downstairs have a turn.
Alan

Snoew - is that that white powdery stuff u get up north - haven't seen snow for years down south !!! - famous last words

Baza

Haven't got a clue, Baza. You tell us. What is SNOEW?

is that how it's pronounced down south?

Bit early to be drinking baza !!

Come on then Fellahs (and ladies).
Who is losing in the investment game, and therefore on course for the "Golden Pigs Ear" award for the NOWT threads most inept investment performance?
Alan

(one of us must have been daft enough to have shorted VOG and be down by about 3 quizillion percent).

erm......

We'll take that as Boz being the first bidder for this prestigious award.

829 at the moment. and falling fast. only one trade showing a profit. beat that!!!

Easy 928 falling fast and showing no profit , i am actually going to win the whole thing outright, i just can't be bothered with the monthly game..

Rumour has it that Papalpower5, current leader, is gutted that he will have to lose about a quarter of a million to get anywhere near the Golden Pigs Ear award, the one they all want to win.
When you think about it, the Champions investor league should be renamed the investors UEFA cup, because this one is the real goal, the real champions league.
Alan

Alan why don't we have a comp to see who can lose the lot.

No way to check it.
We would need MAMs' permission.
Anyway, I have a huge head start on you lot!!
;-)
Alan

Alan,

:)



We will all have to threaten to visit him in the small hours and put a bat up his nighty unless he complies with our reasonable request.
Alan

I'm sure we would be honest with each other,, the only rule would be that you can only make a certain amount of trades ,otherwise you could just sit there and swallow it up in stamp duty by trading all day..

bugger!!!! sussed!!!!

Alan,

Just post you own figures here, and you will then be able to see who is the true Golden Pigs Ear award winner.

I am sure you can trust each other

Ian
