Thought for the Day...

If you had purchased £1000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95, with HBOS, earlier this week your £1000 would have been worth £16.50, £1000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5, but if you bought £1000 worth of Fullers London Pride one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214. So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle.

It will probably come as no suprise to learn that Fencingsculptor's silver haired Grandmother, had £2000 worth of Bradford and Bingley Shares, and was a savings customer of Northern Rock.

You can just tell luck runs in my family.

It sees us coming and runs the other way ....

Can this power be used for good? For example, if you where to write a letter of support to David Milliband or Sarah Palin, would they spontaneously combust?

You should be careful what you wish for. fencingsculptor's typing and spelling is so erratic that Michael Palin and the Steve Miller Band could be the unintended targets.

Working as I do, for both the Government and the Armed Forces, it is likely to end, well , badly.

Or indeed hailing from Souf London well badly .

Take your pick...

Next time 'She' flies past stick your leg out while whistling and looking in the other direction see what happens.

On the first point though, I hadn't considered that I was in fact prodding the 'tender underbelly of fate' with the 'sharp pointy toe-cap' of inevitability......

I wouldn't prod the Karma pixies... I bow to the Karma pixies even if they do sit on the wires behind the fridge and swing their legs - I really dislike it when they do that.
