  1. It only lasted 6 months with me. Got rear ended by a Montego and written off!
  2. Flippy has been fired! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-43343956
  3. Bet the days fly by in your office
  4. My first car I purchased in 1998 had a choke! (it was a 1988 Metro)
  5. Bit of both really. I never planned to end up in finance and if you asked me when I was 18 that I would do 10 years in financial sales and account management I would have laughed in your face. As it happens I am good at it. Very good. This has led me to a comfortable life, although it has perhaps taken the desire away from me to look for something else more interesting.
  6. Anyway, enough dissing of Coke and Champagne. Great drinks!
  7. Who the eff is this Tom Foolery chap? Anyway, talking of Irn Bru I always liked this ad
  8. It might be today but they'll change their mind half way through. edit: d'oh -bin-dunne
  9. Sorry, wrong terminology! I meant passive investment/index funds (OEICS in the UK - think they might be called mutual funds in the US) v EFTs . They seem broadly similar in their passive nature. I don't think i'd bother with active/managed funds, fees are higher and no guarantee they can beat the market.
  10. I can be at Good Hope in 3 mins from where I am. I'll meet you there. Can go for a Nandos and a few pints. Just don't go pass out in the Audi, i've just had it valeted!
  11. Investment/index funds or ETFs? Probably going to scale back my 'emergency' cash fund to around £10k-£15k (and filter some of it through a regular saver at 5%) and put the rest in long term medium/medium to high risk passive options. Reading up on them it seems there are pros and cons to both traditional passive index trackers and ETFs?
  12. I wish Cardiff and Fulham would just **** off.
  13. I don't see the need after a 3-0 win and 9 wins in 11 to have to find someone in the team to slag off. He's a decent striker. He's not fantastic and he's not shit. He's had a tough time here but he's shown in spells he can do it. If Hogan wasn't playing last night, it would have been someone else slated. Just enjoy the victory folks
  14. Rubbish Sherwood spotted Benteke at the creche in the DRC when he was a toddler.
  15. Xela

    Arsenal

    Wikipedia have quite a lot on the team pages
  16. Flippy might be able to flip the burgers but he can't cater for special orders - like no cheese on one and extra gherkins on the other. Flippy needs to earn his 5 star badge first.
