The People's Hero Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 After eating too many jacket potatoes, according to him. Is this E17 talk for 'taking too many drugs' because I imagine this state of mind with the admittedly major drawback of permanently 'being a cock' might have resulted in him running himself over. My girlfriend used to fancy Brian Harvey. Harvey and now me... she has seriously suspect taste in men. I'm not going to bring her to football in case she runs off with Thracian or Martin Keown or something.
The People's Hero Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Nope, actual jacket potatoes.Insanity. There jacket potato is a much under-rated (and perhaps mis-understood) beast. Delightful (and simple).
Raj Posted 13 August 2007 Author Posted 13 August 2007 Nope, actual jacket potatoes.Insanity. In the olden days(probably when Thracian was around) They used to use potatoes as commodity!!! I think!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 In the olden days(probably when Thracian was around) They used to use potatoes as commodity!!!I think! Louis Dodds must be worth at least two kilos of King Edwards then.
Raj Posted 13 August 2007 Author Posted 13 August 2007 Louis Dodds must be worth at least two kilos of King Edwards then. And Elvis would be worth?.........
James. Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 In the olden days(probably when Thracian was around) They used to use potatoes as commodity!!!I think! They used to use everything, including potatoes. It was a bartering system based on the inefficient concept of a double coincidence of wants. i.e. the man with King Edwards will have to want a Louis Dodds and the man with a Louis Dodds will have to want some King Edwards in order for a trade to occur. That's why money was invented. Have I bored you yet?

But I know a man who has an endless supply of meaningless quips, bizarre analogies and some hilarious squash anecdotes who'd love to trade for your Louis Dodds.
Thracian Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 I did have an ISA. It's all spent now. So technically, I have the last laugh, as there is no way that the beer, women and cr ap I spent it on will depreciate in value!HA! I'd imagine you buying an ISA.
Lichfieldfox. Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 In individual securities or into funds?? I think you're be OK in the long run, China could go either way in the next year or so. I've read some stuff recently where people reckon its a bubble waiting to burst but to be honest, all the volatility in the west will probably just fuel more investment in the far east. The Korean, Indian and Brazillian growth funds that are about are also a good bet at the moment.Do you use Fidelity?? Yep Fidelity multifund.Gartmore China, Neptune China and Neptune Russia amongst a few others.

lookwhaticando Posted 16 August 2007 Posted 16 August 2007 FTSE 100 is down by 214.50 at the minute. Heavy losses across the markets today. You can see the worry it's causing... the central banks in the US and Europe are trying to prop things up with some extra money. In the past week, $371bn has been pumped into the banking system by the Fed and the ECB. Today alone the Fed announced an extra $5bn (since raised to $17bn) to be pushed into the banking system in the hope of avoiding a credit crunch. This is just the beginning of the problem... if the credit situation deteriorates any further, a few very large mortgage lenders across the world from Australia to American could go bust. A couple of big Aussie lenders are in trouble already, it seems...
