ZK] go on tell us anyway. But keep it brief and witty.

It's looking a decent choice, but the Beckhams' divis will be pretty high as well. Watch a space...

[rab] £50,000, exclusive. Cheap at the price...

I was on a school trip to Moscow and I was the only russian student there, so everyone was used to me translating everything...we were walking down the Arbat and a man went past three of us, speaking loudly into his mobile phone. I quipped, "Hello! I'm on the train!" And Karoline turned round and said "Really?" ...Wrong for so many reasons....

I've been trying now and then for the last three or four hours. Has the site gone down, or is it just me?

I'll check...

seems alright to me.

[Dujon] Up as far as I know, and no reports of any downishness.

It must be me. The site flatly refused to talk to my browser (I normally go straight into the site using the MCIOS skin) BUT when I attacked the site in a normal hacking manner (I am a smoker) all worked well; buzzed off to the MCIOS skin and it worked. Now I can access through my old 'bookmark'. Urrghhhhhh.

I may not be on for the next few weeks as my fourteen pounder, sitting quietly in the shed at the moment, may be called upon to do its duty.

[Duj] Your fourteen pounder? New baby? Marrow?

Sounds like a man planning an Eddie Shoestring reboot.

[Chalky] INJ is correct. It's a hammer; a bloomin' big hammer. :-o

So it's a hammer. AND?

Well, Chalky my dear, I'm about to find out about the 'AND' bit. Stand by.

Testing, testing

I felt that!

Sometimes I think about the Celebdaq (probably more often than is good for me) and I've been wandering around and came to the stange decision that I needed more of 'it'. So now I've opened another account (Cleddau) and joined the waiting list of Celebdaq Discworld Guild Minileagues, which has 14 leagues of 30 players!! relegation and promotion !!!
There's an msn group called The Celebdaq Basements which has links to two very good tools. The one exampled is the Potential and Previous Dividends

Name	Price (Fri 00:00)	Price (Wed 06:00)	Price (latest)	Last Div	Total Gain Last Week	Total Gain since Wed 06:00	Potential Div	Pot Yield for Week	Price Gain	Pot Total Gain
Victoria Beckham	3.43	3.89	4.15	3.28	86.91	6.68	14.23	414.87	20.99	435.86
Prince William	3.84	4.88	5.20	6.39	232.14	6.56	7.93	206.51	35.42	241.93
The Queen	4.11	4.80	5.13	5.76	178.03	6.88	8.75	212.90	24.82	237.71
David Beckham	6.63	7.40	7.89	2.97	25.65	6.62	13.65	205.88	19.00	224.89

Graham III could well have chosen right in going for the Queen instead of David Beckham tomorrow will tell. I'm almost excited ...time for a custard cream or two to settle the nerves :o)

How about a portrait of yourself with Stevie Nicks?

Looks like Viccy B was the way forward. I'm miles off.

Today has been one of those rare occasions when I can dig out my albums, (some of which I have not listened to for several years) the Inkspecks have gone to stay overnight with the grandparents leaving me to decorate the living room. There's buried memories in them bits of black vinyl. Back then the music was part of what I did. Today listening to the intro of 'The Great Om Rift' by Steve Hillage made the hairs on the back of my neck rise just as it did when I first heard it,(I can still picture him on the stage of the Crdiff Uni). Tonight my task is to find some old tapes I made of the singles I bought at the time, as stopping every three minutes to 'spin the next disc' may lose its appeal very quickly.

Meanwhile over at Celebdaq and Celebrity Mornington Crescent its congrats and celebrations for Chalky who rises to No1 only question is, with which Royal family?
For the first time i've tried out the advanced trading tool which gives a very easy to read at a glance read out of which shares are moving and by how much over the last hour, three hours and since midnight, taking away much the guess work. I could work it out by the percentages.
I had bought Goldenballs some months ago knowing sooner or later he would hit the headlines. The account has been bumping along the bottom of the league for sometime, but patience has finally paid off.
