I just remember I rang him up at home to ask him about his posts. I was off my head at the time so it was quite funny. His missus answered and I asked to speak to tommac from TSF and he denied everything. Those were the days.

No, it's his other daughter.

They are lacking a pet dinosaur and a log flume, but apart from that they're ok I suppose.

Nah, playing for money is a mugs game. Do you play for money a lot?

Nicola Clotese, the man behind the rip-off ticket tax, is understood to have been instructed to sell Southampton Football club by Hilda Liebherr, daughter of the late owner. Sources close to the club tell The Sun that interest has already been expressed by local businessmen.

I won't believe it until it's either in the Mail or the Express.

Has Deppo stolen Smirkings log in details?

Which is the operative word in that statement?

No takeover thread would be complete without the Barry Beardall pic. A gold star goes to the first person to find it.

Whatever happens Markus Liebherr has put us on a sound footing.

I notice C&W UK is up 2.4% (possibly a good buy given the govt. talk about Britain becoming a European leader with high speed internet for all), but I fancy C&W worldwide as I have hunch that the deal they've struck in India could grow if they do a good job and the fact some Indians have a soft spot for colonial rule and the good it did for them and C&W were the company that brought communication to the Empire. David Camerons recent trip there and to China could well benefit this company.

Nah, but I have a 5 year plan. If you have any hot tips let me know because I couldn't refuse selling my Arian shares today after a 12.7% rise on the day making an overall 21% gain. Maybe I jumped too soon, but thought best not be greedy and leave something in it for next man.

But now i'm tempted by the price... But it won't let me deal in this through an ISA.

They'll probably go the same way as poor Topsy. Topsy (born circa 1875, died January 4, 1903), was a domesticated elephant with the Forepaugh Circus at Coney Island's Luna Park. Because she had killed three men in as many years (including a severely abusive trainer who attempted to feed her a lit cigarette), Topsy was deemed a threat to people by her owners and killed by electrocution on January 4, 1903, at the age of 28. Inventor Thomas Edison captured the event on film. He would release it later that year under the title Electrocuting an Elephant. [video=youtube;Gr6xBz-h99U]

I do it through an ISA which allows £10,200 investment p.a in what has been described as "a shark cage" so no CGT. It's just a hobby and I enjoy looking for the obscure companies away from crowd. To quote an old polish peasant proverb "eagles fly high and sheep flock together".

Not a lot. Dividends don't really interest me. Where the bulk of my money is there is no dividend. Close Brothers look good if you're into your dividends, but not for me.

No real downs, HMV have hovered around the 45-47p mark and i've cooled on them as i'd expected more in the run up to Christmas and ITV have held their ground and after a slight dip are now solidly around 70p. I still think it's a good investment if you hold and allow Adam crozier to keep paying off the debt as part of the 5 year plan. African Consolidated Resources are down 8%, and I did say this was really dodgy and isn't a short term thing, but the huge potential is still there and it has loyal shareholders that are clinging to the hope that justice wins through eventually and in time a democratic Rhodesian governemnt honour the legal right ACR holds over the Marange field. I'm an optimist and one day Rhodesia will hopefully want to rejoin the global community for it's own sake. If they want above board inward investment they will have to give confidence to investors. ACR would rise by circa 1000% if it could do what it should legally be allowed to do.

This one interests me. https://www.share.com/cgi-bin/oicgi.exe/inet_tsc_dl2?epic=NBR The Company's efforts to raise capital continues and in the meantime the Directors are continuing to fund the company with interest free unsecured loans which currently total £810,000. A further report on the company's progress will be announced in due course. Lord Sheppard is the Chairman (former boss of grand met) and I can't see someone with such experience throwing good money after bad which leads me to think this could have potential and with the SP at 2.38p now could be a good time to make a modest speculative investment.

https://www.share.com/cgi-bin/oicgi.exe/inet_tsc_dl2?epic=MML Closed strongly on Friday so maybe it's the Ozzies catching up. I'll keep a tab on it, but i've already got my gold/silver mine eggs in Arian Silver and i'm gonna stick with that. I just have a feeling that the gold spot price can't get much higher and I am wary about buying on what could be the crest of the wave. I'm more interested in silver because a) it's running out b) it has technical uses so post slump it has a use c) it has been undervalued for years and it's my view that it will one day break away from the shackle of mirroring the gold spot price. ATM i'm being drawn to the insurance sector and have put my money where my mouth is into Prudential and will continue buying if the sp remains around the 600p mark. They are targeting the Asian market very strongly and for that reason I can see them being taken over at some stage by the Chinese which would deliver a reasonable return. They're a well run company that are imo a safe bet.

Did Marc jackson do the drawings?

Is that a Yank site? If so No. And i'm not that good. It all depends on whether I can be bothered. Sit and Go double your money is what I am good at. I have a starategy that works for this.

Better off investing £10,200 of it in a shares ISA than banking it.

Maybe not suitable (that is the one I had put up) knowing the snitches on here.

Top Post.

It was a free roll. I prefer double your money and I usually win.
