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.

Bloody weather. Thats the second weekend on the trot my cricket match has been rained off.
Next week is a big weekend again with a league game on Satureday and a Cup Match on Sunday, and I haven't been able to lift a bat in 2 weeks, 3 by then!!
Still, I managed to get my dart board on the wall, and I'd like to see the weather beat that one, and Its the Leeds Utd game tomorrow, so the weekend might not turn out to be a dead loss.
Alan

well you must have had the chance to watch Munster vs Biarritz Heineken Cup Final ..... Cracking game

Is that egg chasing???

alan, best of luck tomorrow, would be great to have another northern team in the top division.
and well done indeed to the monsters of finland !!!! let's rock .........long live eurovision and gawd bless sir terry of wogan :))

alan, worrappen?

Story of the season, Bos.
Try to defend for 80 minutes and go hell for leather for 10 mins.
It works so well against lesser teams but a team with a bit of nouse like Watford get us every time.
We never won a ball in the air, and that has been obvious all season too, so Adie Boothroyd played it exactly right, and we played it exactly wrong.
Having said that we were crap anyway, and looking at both teams, I would fear for whichever one won, cos they are simply nowhere near Premier league standard. Sheffield Utd aren't either, for that matter. Reading look to be the only ones with a chance in Hell of staying there for any length of time.
Not too down though. From the edge of bankruptcy and no first team squad at all to losing play off finalists in 18 months aint bad.
Weekend was a total bummer for me cos the cricket was rained off AGAIN.
Its been chucking it down here for over a week, and the local maternity hospital has started reporting babies being born with gills.
When is it gonna stop???
Alan

Al , direct a bit down south will you ,we're having stand pipes on the street this summer if we don't get about 3000 inches of rain .

You can bloody well have it mate!!!!
I have employed an architect to design an Ark, and am busy buying 2 of everything.
2 Donner kebabs, 2 barrels of Theakstons, 2 outers of Benson & hedges, 2 mucky wimmin..............you get the drift.
Alan

I've got you the two birds Al ,just working on the Beer and Kebabs .

Cracked it Jimmy.
I have found an old car jack from a Metro I used to own.
To my way of thinking, if I nip up to John 'o' groats and stick it under the top edge of Scotland, you lot will be downhill from me, and then it can rain as much as it likes here. You'll get all the water and i'll get to play cricket.
Alan to the rescue.........................

Good idea Al you should have been a scientist ,it's pouring here now, we need it .

See!! Working already.

nice pic, jimmy. it's working on me , too!!! made my sun rise right up ;)

Bin finking again.
I've been reading all about Phrenology, which is the study of skull shape.
The theory is that by feeling the bumps on someones head (prefer chestology myself) you can tell what kind of character they are.
Based on that I am going to open a reverse phrenology clinic, where for a fee I will give you the personality you always wanted. Armed with no more than a shovel and a small lump hammer, you can order a cheery outgoing personality with a touch on introspection.
Since you've all sold your shares, anyone interested in backing this venture?
Alan

I'm in Al ,,i'm all in cash at the moment ,waiting to see where we go from here on the markets.
You might consider hiring a good lawyer as your changing the shape of peoples heads with a shovel ,but its a winner for sure , you do come up with some amazing ideas ,, yes that's the word amazing ! .

truly !!!!

Just a wee reflection on the correction / recession / slump / disaster, call it what you may.
Its a bloody good job we are all so clever and got out in plenty of time (except me of course, who was still putting money in last Monday - cos I'm thick).
I have been reading the threads and almost every single poster claims to have sold up almost all of his equities within the last 2 weeks as they saw it coming. There are one or two honourable exceptions - Driver, take a bow, but almost to a man / woman / Big Brother contestant nobody will admit they got it wrong.
They may all be truthfull and I was just too dim to see the warnings, and no doubt a few are being truthfull, but posters who were urging others into shares, and forecasting 6000+ on the FTSE competition are now posting to say how clever they were to get out when they did (right at the top).
I'm not being at all cynical, you understand, just curious as to why MAM has such a high percentage of world beating financial commentators when compared to say, Goldman Sachs, KPMG or any of the other amateurs??
Alan

alan, you'll find the same is true when a share triples. you get all these geniuses crawling out saying how they were in right at the start !!! i've been selling up for different reasons, mainly cos i'm getting out of shares and into something else. i've only got one share left, pxs, and i'm just hanging on for a bit of a good time to get out. as usual , i will post when and why just in case anyone gives a shit. as far as seo are concerned there were plenty who predicted this and, if i am being honest, i wish i had listened a whole lot earlier. the idea is to make money, not to show who has the biggest balls.

I was out ,but by pure luck ,i took profits on DEBT because it had risen so much ,and was looking to get in on a couple of new plays (glad i didn't) ,i was holding a 50 per point spread bet on Charter and lost just over 4000 ,so over all i came out unscathed .

By the way not wishing to be smart but i predict SEO will finish the day 2p down at 8p ,with 7,397,157 shares traded ,i posted this at 10am but i think mam slotted it in here .
