THE TALK TO YOURSELF THREAD. (NOWT)     

goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

At least you can trade your fantasy account Jimmy, and maybe get the grand this month. My Champion Investors account is frozen - its all in BFC (bar about 4p), I bought it all the day before suspension - oops! Pretty much like my real portfolio then...

hewittalan6 - 01 Dec 2005 09:07 - 2849 of 81564

I apologise, Jimmy. I have just quickly read up and it couldn't be worse. Not really.
To recoup the money I have lost on BRY I have tried to work out who will have a bumper christmas, based on the naff presents that Aunts and Uncles buy me each year.
Now, who manufactures or sells, Brut gift packs and triple packs of dodgy boxer shorts?

Frampton ,,hi we are trying to lose money on cchamp invest ,, Al i broke my rules and was too overweight in BFC , my own fault ,,.I spend a lot of time in Florida during the winter down on the Gulf in SW ,,Naples ..

hewittalan6 - 01 Dec 2005 09:23 - 2851 of 81564

Orlando for us Jimmy. Kids, dontcha know.
Personally I blame Disney and McDonalds for everything thats wrong in the world and I would sooner spend a fortnight self catering in Baghdad, but a Dads gotta do what a Dads gotta do.

Frampton - 01 Dec 2005 09:32 - 2852 of 81564

Jimmy if BFC come out of suspension before the end of the game, I bet I will end up in a much lower postion than you can achieve, particularly as you are going up so far this month. Thats if the company ever comes out of suspension.

jimmy b - 01 Dec 2005 09:40 - 2853 of 81564

Join the game Frampton ,,Alan Bosley and myself are trying to lose all the money ,,i went and made 9.5k overnight ,i hope your wrong about BFC ,,but yes you could be our winner..

Found this on another thread - it made me laugh

Just before Battle - a conversation is overheard on the Deck of HMS Victory;

Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy."

Hardy: "Aye, aye sir."

Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?"

Hardy: "Sorry sir?"

Nelson (reading aloud): "England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability." What gobbledygook is this?

Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist."

Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco."

Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments."

Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the main brace to steel the men before battle."

Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking."

Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ...........full speed ahead."

Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water."

Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please."

Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir."

Nelson: "What?"
Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness. And they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected."

Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay, Hardy."

Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the fo'c'sle, Admiral."

Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd."

Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled."

Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of Admiral by playing the disability card."

Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is underrepresented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency."

Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons."

Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?"

Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy."

Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral.

Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!

Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There are a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks."

Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?"

Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not."

Nelson: "We're not?"

Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation."

Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil."

Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report."

Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King."

Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life"

Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?"

Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment."

Nelson: "What about sodomy?"

Hardy: "Well, now that is legal, sir."

Nelson: "In that case ...kiss me, Hardy."

I hope I'm wrong also Jimmy, but it seems likely, if , when it comes out of suspension it will open up much lower than 145, in which case my 92,000 in Champ investor will be greatly reduced. We could always hope for good news and it opens at 3, I wish.
If you're really trying to lose all your dosh in the game, surely this should be quite an easy process? I seem to be doing very well at it in real life, prehaps I can give you a few share tips?

jimmy b - 01 Dec 2005 10:22 - 2856 of 81564

No Frampton ,,it's hard to lose it in the game ,,just easy in real life ,,pop over to this thread from time to time ,there are some good people on here ,and some good jokes ..

In today, home tonight, lots of love, Rodney -was transcribed as-
Home today, in tonight, lots of rod, lovely.

It is soooo easy to get the wrong message when the tar on the semaphore has had one over the eight (missus) afore the sun is over the yardarm. Well, I bet someones timbers were shivered that evening!

Nice one Baza. C'est ca magnifique! Vive l'EU!

Watch out behind you, Jimmy. I've turned it around!!!

jimmy b - 01 Dec 2005 14:02 - 2862 of 81564

Sorry Al your a long way off ,, i have lost most of my gains already i went long on MFI as it plunged back to evens ,,actually i shorted it this morning for real and did well ...

hewittalan6 - 01 Dec 2005 15:59 - 2863 of 81564

In real shares we are having a bad day today.
Come to think of it, Benito Mussollinni has had good days more recently than me.

bosley - 01 Dec 2005 18:03 - 2864 of 81564



my cunning plan is starting to kick in.

jimmy b - 01 Dec 2005 18:20 - 2865 of 81564

We look about neck and neck bos..

hewittalan6 - 01 Dec 2005 18:22 - 2866 of 81564

I need to start losing, quickly.
I've turned the trend round and thought I was doing well, but its not as easy as you think when you actually try to lose money, is it? Papalpower has got it easy when you think about it. We are the real brains of the outfit.
