    That's what it was made for. You don't believe all that tulipe about 'sharing scientific documents' do you? Unless of course those 'scientific documents' were pictures of the female anatomy.

      I have had days when i have made and lost £50K day trading,
      and weeks where £100K+ have been won and lost.
      Few things beat the rush you get from day trading with real money.
      Crikey. In the distant and never again past (fortunately I never suffered any significant losses), I played poker with the minimum bet around my day rate but this is something else. Do you still do this?

        I once new a guy that used to spread bet on FX and Equities. The one afternoon he was talking me through his latest escapade. He was chuffed that he ended £570 up on a short position. I said thats not bad for a giggle, it was then that he explained that at one point in the week the position was the wrong side of 300k Thats clinically insane!

          My only real vice is a liking for proper beer, wouldn't call it an addiction, I enjoy it though!

          Additionally, when I've had a few I talk more sense, am more sexually alluring to women, better at sex, and can drive loads better.

          Thought I was addicted to coffee once, heard the withdrawal horror stories, gave up, no side effects, went back on it, back off it now for about six weeks. Drink two litres of diet coke a day now though!

            Ah yes coffee. I like to drink it till I'm shaking then have another cup to be sure.
            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Chilli peppers. I very rarely go a day without eating a few.

                I feel you are being unnecessarily harsh on suity here.

                He just wants to know what's wrong with him.
