CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Morning Opto. My eyes are going crossed, I'm trying to read a will from 1753 and it might as well have been written in a foreign language, got the gist of it though.

Yes it does look a bit odd, sure with practise it will become easier to read. Hope you get 'a mention' .............you never know you may own a castle :-)

No chance of that Opto, money seems to have disappeared in past generations.

Never mind Socco, you have got LLOY. Where do you think they are going from here? seem a bit heady now to me.

Don't know Opto, they have been rising towards the results and on bid speculation. Results seem to have been better than expected and that may encourage more speculation. I'll watch for a couple of days and then make my mind up. Meanwhile a tight stop loss seems to be the ticket.

Must pop out for a mo, back later.

I'm away now Socco until late tomorrow afternoon, will call in for some sherry trifle :-)

OK, chilly in here after the weekend!

Logs on the fire now and coffee and tea brewing.

Happy trading!

Tea sounds hot to me LOL
a couple of danish as well.....
morning all!!

TWO danish - like that today is it! LOL

I'll join you ... opto must be out of range :-)

Several danish for me please ;-)

Off to NL this afternoon.... ;-(

Cloggyland again ... there is no stopping you these days Spacey!

Take away Danish, coming up ... :-)

Don't forget to plait your hair Spacie and pack your cloggs!
;>)

Hey, I almost have my own windmill now ;-) hoping to cut down the trips soon...

I would love a windmill. I would put a generator in it and sell eccentricity to the national grid. More tea vicar?

Good morning all, its the stranger from far away dropping in to say "Hi".

I failed you all miserably a fortnight ago when I failed to tell that Sweet Revenge was running again at Arlington, Port Elizabeth.
She ran over 1300 metres, 17 horse race and won, going away 3 lengths at S.P.of 6-1, so that's two on the trot [so to speak!].

She runs again tommorrow [Wed] at Fairview, Port Elizabeth at about 15.05?
It's over slightly longer distance of 1600 metres, she's gone up with the handicapper 5 kilos and her rating has also gone up to a MR of 78.
All of which means she's running against ever increasingly good horses and I think tommorrow she takes on 11 others.

Nic Classen who trains her in P.E. has decided to put his leading apprentice on her
as he claims 4 kilos, all this means she'll be carrying an extra kilo but won't have the jockey I like [Byefeld] riding her.

Will she do the business?
Nic is very confident and has advised me to have some dosh on her but I won't.
She's now won twice without me having a bet so I think superstition comes into it!

There was a very good article about her in the Racing Post recently so what the future holds, who knows?

Watch this space................

Morning all, kettles on and hope to have a few danish spare, missed mine yesterday.
Visit to the accountant this morning as the friendly Inland Revenue sent me a penalty notice for 100 because I didn't file my Self Assessment form in time for 2005. I thought LAST May would have been early enough!

Morning LW and opto!

Accountant :-(

OK, flipping pancakes today - breakfast order American style ..

Pancakes with maple syrup/bacon/vanilla ice cream/whipped cream

OR the usual Danish gently warmed (for the more discerning customers!).

Oh sooooooh gently warmed :-)............. please.

opto, you need bunny for that service but I shall do my best! :-)
