CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Bunny
It started wet but has cleared now, some blue sky evident now, let's hope it is an omen. Cream with the Danish?

Jeffmack
It sounds like the basis of a new currency, Guinness Notes. Better not tell your banker friends. Can you imagine the result, buy a new telly G150. (150 Guinness Notes). What fun. The principle could be extended to all sorts of things, I wonder what I could buy for a couple of hundred sherry trifle notes?

No thanks I'll pass on the cream, just a plain danish for me.
So what goodies have you got planned for today Socs?

Nothing at all Bunny, apart from the pleasure of your company.

Ahh thanks you Socs, although I must be honest I tend to flit in and out
of here during the day, but I'll make sure I say hello each time! :>)
How's your investments going these days? Anything new and exciting?

Not at the moment Bunny, I'm keeping an eye open for a high tech stock with a ground breaking product under development. They are few and far between and I've not lighted on anything since the custard pump. There are lots of companies who sound like they fit the bill but when you take a cold, hard look, they just don't have the massive potential to offset the risk.

this is true Socs..this is true
:>)

And nothing but the truth (on here) lol
Danish and tea please.
Oh morning all :-)

Ah the late sleepers surface - it's ok for these part-timers!
;>)

Morning Opto!
:>)

Morning Opto, late night was it?

Weather turned here now, stair rods outside.

Hye Socco, nice to get up when you wake up...no alarm bells in your ear. Enjoy your long weekend. Good luck with your search for that 'magic' company.

Opto
I agree about waking up, trouble is, when you wake with an alarm clock at 7 a.m. every weekday, there is a tendency to wake everyday at 7 a.m. alarm clock or not!

Amen to the Socs - I can relate to that inner alarm clock!
LOL

Bunny
What's for lunch today? I fancy something exotic.

Bananas Socco?

No need to be like that Opto, I only asked!

Only 60 vouchers left, I wonder if I can exchange them for painkillers
