Originally posted by zeitghost View PostI sold what had been £10k of HBOS shares for £938 last year.
Another fantastic ZeitInvestment(tm).
I bought Marconi shares at the time when they had just halved from £2'ish. I got in at a bargain price of 98p
Bought a few times on the way down to average out as I believed in the tech
In the end it was penny shares and eventually got a warrant for shares in another company or could donate.Comment

So I get invited to some random meeting about random stuff I know nothing about. However someone doesn't sent me a link to the online meeting thing. I only realise this after I've rushed back from doing stuff and filling my car up..."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

It's not enough (about £8k) to make it worthwhile, but at least I'd be out of here & free, free I tell ye, free.Comment

I've found out what Bob was writing about all those weeks ago. Having turned it into English, read it back to myself and thought 'huh?', it's been sent back to me on grounds of it being complete bollux*. So a point to whoever it was suggested i'd be re-writing it.
* - in fairness to Bob, I can understand why too since it's a spaghetti bowl of configurable elements. I am drawing a visio picture though, which WILL paint 1000 words. If it fecking well kills meComment
