  1. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,,1577750,00.html At first I thought it was 600mm!
  2. Oh really?! I will put it in my 'to read' list.
  3. Sunrise, you understand exactly what I am thinking. I won’t say I am ‘stock-savvy’ but I do think the Game is a good place to find out who you truly are. If you are interested, you can read Adam Smith’s (not real name) The Money Game. "The world is not the way they tell you it is..."
  4. Slow, thanks for the compliment but I don’t have that kind of power. You need a ‘bigger fool’ competition to cause that. I haven’t seen ‘fight club’ – what’s it all about?
  5. Perhaps. For GF's coming BD, instead of giving her a present, I am thinking of opening a stock account for her, give her some capital and teach her how to play. What do you think?
  6. I am sure Fattwin and Torque can tell you how romantic they are.
  7. Quote: I believe that encouraging Fair Trade, local organic food, something like this is very important. The only known way of reducing the gap between the rich and the poor is the crash of stock markets. Fair trade won’t do.
  8. Quote: So let's get this straight: Americans cannot by definition be refugees, (although they can be looters...?) Come on, Ocean, some of these people had no choice! Where else are they going to get essential stuff like electronic goods and Nike shoes in a national disaster like this when the government is totally useless?
  9. Like everyone else in the circus, him(her)self.
  10. This, if true, is getting interesting. http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/story/0,16132,1556856,00.html The guy was (down on the floor) shot ten/eleven times over 30 seconds?!
  11. Well, a little white lie hurts no one I suppose.
  12. What I suspected all along. http://football.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,9753,1551650,00.html
  13. It isn't a foot fault until the racquet touches the ball.
  14. Not everyone is as well-informed as you are Ocean. And don’t under-estimate how easily politicians can get away with kissing a few babies and by shouting empty rhetoric. A lot of the younger people (i.e. people who are going nowhere or not satisfied with present conditions) want changes – for better or worse - and are not difficult to persuade you know. Anyone is better than the old guards they can’t do anything about and thus have no interest whatsoever.
  15. Not until early September unfortunately. I just can't think about winter holidays when outside is still more than 30 degrees.
  16. I couldn't agree more. But Kid Horie learned from his mistake and knows how to chat up important allies and and how to do deals and, more importantly, has an instantly recognisable face.
  17. Now Horie is joining the fray, what do you think? The more I think about it, the more I have to admit that it is really a beautiful move.
  18. Planning Christmas holidays already? I still haven't had my summer!? Poor me.
  19. Interesting comments! He should go and live in a small island by himself. This was in yesterday's Guardian Fight or flight Panic along government-suggested lines is impossible AL Kennedy Thursday August 18, 2005 The Guardian Always wanted to live in a country people flee for fear of religious persecution? Then congratulations, we finally made it. Great news for me, of course - writers get hit just after the minorities, so I can look forward to massively increased sales, especially if they're posthumous, and a whole bunch of cheery postcards from Amnesty Internation
  20. The cock-up was tragic but it is nowhere as bad as the cover-up. Sex up the WMD claim, rescuing their soldier from the Iraqis (with camera crew)...the pack of lies just goes on and on. Imagine shooting someone innocent seven times in the head. Are we that different from the 'terrorists'?
  21. Now what do you make of this? http://www.guardian.co.uk/attackonlondon/story/0,16132,1550565,00.html
