Unintended? Of course not, let me start writing irritating haiku's again, thanks for the encouragement:}

Apologies, getting carried away.

I spend more time on this Board than my day job. I'm in real trouble!

JK,

Blue Monday, New Order - or is that just wishful thinking?

On the lighter side, did anyone else notice the correlation in an increased interest in cycling from the late 80s onwards - I think we know who Lance Armstrong really owed his success too, sorry Snaggletooth, I mean Bradley Wiggins, - the fell connection.

Sorry, one last one, Aduk:

"We're not people camping on roadsides, holding up trucks, and who don't know the difference between a BOP and a mudpump."

Speak for yourself, when I said balcony I meant tent flap! It's taken me a while to persuade the local cafe to give me internet access, just me and them there seagulls.

No, it's all right, I'll spare you the embarrasment, too weird. Night all!

Would it be too surreal to start a secret book club or not so secret book club and then start interjecting that into the daily Bulletin Board in a way, of course, that's wholly relevant to our investment? Starter for 10, Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment?

JK

So my brother's first album was The Police something or other and mine was 'Dare' The Human League, but I kept nicking my brother's album - you see, non stop musical tension - years of therapy hence need for bigger pension pot!

Snaggletooth

Thank you, that's much less stress on my brain this time of evening. Brent perked up to 0.33% rise in late afternoon trading which I put down entirely to our North American (not to offend the North the South, or Mexican) friends. I have no basis in reality for saying this other than lots of journalists are writing nice things about the oil rise too, but does seem it's rising and in our last hour of trading we came in just under 46p at 0.48% rise - so I'd say PoO was of more concern than catch the buoy right now. Of course if catch the buoy goes horribly wrong, I will have lost my sense of humour entirely and will reappear on this BB with a new and much darker username.

"So have to 'live in the now', due to knowledge that there's no greener pasture elsewhere..."

I doubt that somehow. You have natural comic timing and great taste in music - who needs greener pastures! Like I said I'm 2 decades below and already feeling antiquated (or if I'm honest - grateful!).

JK

I'm sorry, I'm a product of Margaret Thatcher's 80's, Greed over humanity, from Mr Tebbit's "Please sir can I have some more?" "Get on yer bike kid" to UB40's, "I am a one in ten ..." (shit - really better get a good job then, no pressure) versus Cat Stevens "It's a wild world", but maybe I shouldn't be taking this all so seriously ... it was a time with confusing soundtracks.

Tumbleweed ... Anyway, there's a seagull on my balcony, if only Olympic Zeus could hear my call for help ... winch?

Aduk

Thank your lucky stars you don't have to interview for a job these days ...

I'm probably two decades younger than you but the idea of interviewing for companies that prioritize creches, sorry creative workspaces for their 'adult' employees fills me with dread. There's no way I could keep a straight face throughout the entire interview!

ST

DNAY, but i find TC use of acronyms really challenging to fathom ...

All (Aduk, WellWell and JayKay and Missdosh if you're reading)

I wish when I was younger I'd been a true advocate of live in the 'now'. I had one foot on a spiritual banana skin and on foot on my father's advice and constant anxiety about my future 'get a proper job'. Now I'm more balanced, "I will buy an electric car when my building committee decide to install electric chargers." "I hope they don't twig until at least 2020 when I've built up my tiny pension fund with Hurricane Shares."

Wellwell

You're so honest, I admire that!

"This will have an impact on the sector over time but selfishly we hope not before HUR realises full value to us. Then we can all afford to buy electric cars although I doubt I will."

Aduk

None was taken, I've had a good laugh today:}

Aduk

I was very careful to disguise my complete lack of knowledge with the dual use of the the word 'assistance' - how dare you!

Missdosh
Tried to keep a straight face with the music. Great video though, good views of the crane and winch systems.

I was going to say the 1920s? But somehow that didn't add up - so December 2008? In which case you kept your 70th quiet!

Brent back up and share price up by 0.48%, astronomical, wouldn't want to be out of this tonight! (Sorry - just kidding) - but Brent and SP finally getting in tandem on the way up.
