Convict Colony

What did Einstein say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I think we are doing Roy a disservice, if I was him I would be using the heat and humidity angle to drop these older players like Lampard/Cole etc and promote youth into this world cup. We did after all see the effect the young german team had in the last world cup where as against Algeria we were awful. If Hoddle can drop Gazza then Roy can dump Welbeck.

Without a doubt the best Newcastle performance yesterday

Glasgow and Alpine your boys took one hell of a beating.....

today has been pleasing viewing without the usual 2nd half fight back by the other team

Dude seriously this part of the world is awesome, I used to live in joburg with work but then decided to retire to here cos it looked nice. Went to George Garden Route Mall the other day and it was decent, but Knysna is on another level. Live in a house on the cliffs in Pezula and feel like a bond villain, south africa has the best location for sport in the world it gets everything and went for a mountain bike ride yesterday and got abused by a troop of baboons, avoided a puff adder and missed the knysna forest elephants thankfully :-) If you come back for a visit let me know and I will insist you and your mrs come and get drunk in casa de convict.

I only put the 38yr old so you didn't think I was ancient like a lot of the locals.

Have just retired here as a 38yr old, thought it was better than going back home.

****ing hell

Can I just say that clubs like newcastle are the clubs who put their own ends ahead of the english game, how many b grade frenchmen can they have all in the name of buying the finished article cheaper, how about you geordie fecks develop some !!

****ing AAAAAAA

Gotta bring on gaston next half, Cork/JWP/Davis is not exactly a threat. Rob Elliot is MOM so far, goalkeeping gangster

is davis playing in our team !!! MIA

Love how these ill informed commentators keep saying "what another find", we didn't find them we made them !!

Ukraine cos we will be ****ed by Russians at some point

Thought I'd update this as dived in on monday and is so far going well. Went for 3 companies on the JSE, Coronation - Do Unit Funds etc and a well regarded company here, have used them myself and their result speak for themselves. Sanlam - Do insurance predominantly and expanding into Africa as a whole, got good buzz here so plumb for that. Woolworths - More of a gut feel this one as their stores are always busy and I like the food (think M&S type food). Current Returns as of COB today 3 days in !!! Coronation - 1,64% Sanlam - 4,03% Woolworths - 0.50 % Total ROI (not including fee's) = 6,17% which I am obviously stoked with but am awaiting the downs before the next ups.

Whoa he has a high rating on Whoscored 7.67 in both the league and Europa !! http://www.whoscored.com/Players/98101/ Central defensive position !

Too disappointed to read this thread but is it full of Alpine/Barry and Glasgow ?

Will update this thread probably next week as I am about to begin investing on the JSE, I've done analysis on dual listed companies that list on the JSE and FTSE/AIM as its easier to use ADFVN for research if they are listed in the UK but think looking at the outlook or potential for growth I am gonna have to go for African only ones. Plenty of interesting African companies though and whilst I won't be putting my fortune (yet) into these investments I am gonna drop in 10k and practise for 6 months but will continue research on the companies I currently like over the weekend and eliminate it down to my final few. When I say practise i don't mean buying the shares, I mean where I get my research from, how I distill reports, what companies naturally interest me, what mistakes have i made etc etc so that I am a "veteran" for when I want to ramp up the dinero. No.1 Priority for me will be though to insert stop losses at 7% deficit of the buy price which I will update every evening if the share price rises, I expect to take quite a few losses but for every 3 7% losses I hope for a 20% + winner, think the 7% gives me natural leeway as well on the share price, am not gonna bother becoming a chartist as its too hard and not something i believe in really. I won't be investing in any mining here though (my old job) as the entire industry piggy backs on any disturbance or strike to have copy cat strikes nationwide and miners are the worst and with the Marikana commission due sometime soon I expect it to all kick off again.

Phil taking in the rays and this just for the lulz

Bearsy tanned

Lets see if this one works before I begin again. Ridin Dirty

There are some quality ones out there, found a few that some SWF members helped with. Bearsy tanned after his Ibiza break: Glasgow with his drink of choice: Tokes walking his dog in Richmond looking for the cottaging spot: Phil calls letting you know he is coming over to talk golf stories: Stupid internet

A flock of crows is called a murder !! Foul play ?

thanks for all that as I am about to begin some further reading before i begin investing with some decent wedge for a bit of play aside from other managed funds.

Woah great pick on Range !!!!
