    Svalbaard, are you the chap you keeps wizzing those radio controlled helicopters around in Selfridges?!

      Of course, why do you think they are called Sell-fridges if they don't sell fridges?

          No. That's not me. I'm not employed by any faction of the remotely controlled by radio product industry.

          Just trying to make the point that IMHO cheap watches and shares make carp gifts and that most men like radio controlled helicopters and stuff.

          Nothing says "you're a loser" more than owning a motivational signature about being a winner.

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              One thing my hubby has always wanted was to get stuck into the Stock Market - what better bday prezzie?

              Can anyone recommend any good websites (and any good shares? )
              http://www.fool.co.uk/Your-Money/gui...ecurities.aspx suggests you can. Haven't read it in full.

              In terms of recommending good websites for share dealing, it depends on whether you are looking for a Nominee accounts or a site that sends Shares certificates by post.
              If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.

                Having had a look, it appears they don't sell fridges. They should call themselves Don't Selfridges & Co.

                  Now you're talking. I really want a bar billiards table.

                    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                    I preferred version 1!

                      possibly a daft suggestion, given the price at the moment, but hows about a specially minted 'proof' sovereign (c£400). Definately non-norm but very shiny and you could mount it in some sort of frame, with it's certificate
