      At least you got something back.

      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.

        I remember reading about some unfortunate lady who'd bought when they were £12.

          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...

            Couple of pumps closed at the petrol station, so I've spent most of my lunch break gazing at the back of some stranger's car while listening to boring news on Radio 4

              Sue, was there a bloke behind you at the pumps looking bored?

              Nick, was the stranger in front rushing like she was late for a meeting?

                  Temptation oh Temptation.

                  VR has just reared its ugly head again.

                  Decisions decisions.

                  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.

                    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 me
