CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Morning Socs,

I think I will start with a nice plate of kippers and a cup of tea.

Bit dull in Hastings today and my new PC should arrive from Dell.

Kippers coming up Spacie, genuine Grimsby smoked ones, not those supermarket dipped things.

New PC? Doing well on the trading then?

Socs, they sound yummy.

PC was a spur of the moment thing, I am currently using one that is 3.5 years old and its getting a bit slow. Someone told me about a bargain special offer for a Dell with a 24 inch screen at 917 delivered, so I snapped it up. Unfortunately its not available any more but its about 350 cheaper than normal.

But when it comes to trading ...... haven't made a penny in months but then I am not actively trading at the moment, I have lost a few pennies on the bargains I bought in the past which I converted into long term investments ;-)

LTH's Spacie, I think we all have a few of those! LOL

I think most of mine are those, got the odd one starting to come good though.

Spacie, I think I might find a 24" screen a bit big, I have a 17" and it only just fits my desk space. I think I may have been tempted to trade off the large screen against a faster computer.

Socs, its a pretty fast machine as well ;-) the 24 inscreen is really nice its not that big it wider than normal and has a resolution of 1920*1200 so you can get a lot on it and the wide format is good for movies.

The PC has a Dual Core Pentium D 830 processor, thats plenty good enough for what I will be doing but its certainly not the fastest.

Faster than a speeding bullet? Sounds fun.

In the absence of Socco I will wish all the visitors (silent) to the cafe a very good afternoon and early evening. Bit early for the hammock bit will share a pint of Guinness with any passer by.

Opto, good morning if you are around. I was in the cafe a few times yesterday but as I was orf to the antiques fair at the NEC I didn't hang around. Had a good but tiring day. Orf to a boot fair this morning, if I can summon up the energy that is.

Morning Socco, enjoy the boot fair.

What a time to open up. This place will be going bust soon.

This place will never go bust whilst there is a Socco around. Some of my stocks actually went up today, not a lot, but anything is a pleasant surprise.

Oh good :)

Choccy, another pleasant surprise!

Morning!
Fresh sawdust on the floor and shutters opened, fire's lit and cushions plumped
beer pumps working, kettle on for tea, coffee maker charged up and ready to go!

Comfort food please Bunny

Afternoon all, sitting in sunny Holland waiting for a taxi to the airport so that I can come home!

One bucket of trifle, a coffee and some gateax with Sardines please...

I hope no one is looking over your shoulder Spacie. Would be very curious about the gateaux and sardines :-) You may even get a seat on your own on the flight.

Hot pot of tea and some buttered fruit bread, extra log on the fire...

opto, I might even get the whole plane to myself ;-)
