    The dream stream

    I always zoom the screen and position the small window accordingly. A bit pixelated but then I sit away from the screen. Any port in a storm.

    Looking good on Betfair - the Leicester game is on now. :)

    I think it's on Betfair Exchange - there is a box saying 'not yet available.

    I dunno. You may be right but confidence plays a part. We're full of it and they are struggling. I reckon a draw.

    In Motion Towards Promotion

    Nothing is ever worth waiting for. Instant gratification is the only way.

    I hope not - can't see us winning at their place in a replay.

    Promotion - The Down side

    Why not? They're a great bunch of lads.

    If anybody is having lady trouble this is the answer apparently for £58

    I was disgusted and outraged yesterday to discover that Marks and Spencer are selling scented candles that smell of my cock. This is an outrageous invasion of my privacy - how did they know that I douse my member in vanilla essence?

    What are you drinking on Saturday?

    I'll be starting off with an early cup of tea, followed by a coffee. I'll move on to drink Brandy Alexanders in the pub beforehand and Banana Daiquiri at the ground. What about you?

    Godden did have a shift but given that it's a big game, McDonalds have given him the day off.

    bookies getting twitchy

    The odds offered represent the probability of each outcome. They offer odds so that the probabilities sum to more than 1 - typically around 1.1 so they have a 10% take on the book. It won't be perfectly balanced but they'll aim to keep it within limits and lay off when they need to. You can...

    bookies getting twitchy

    It's nothing to do with being twitchy. The odds have changed and so they offer you the opportunity to cash out at current market price. Remember that they run a balanced book - they will probably be very happy with Cov winning the league as I bet they took much more money on Sunderland and...

    Oh, and about traders themselves. They certainly have a bad rep and I've worked with some wankers over the years (the worst being an electricity trader). However I've also noticed that more are quiet, geeky types than used to be the case. But that's possibly because I tended to work more in...

    New Labour Leader

    I don't think I've ever said that nothing can happen again... I don't think the *same* thing with credit derivatives would happen again now the risk is better understood - but for sure there will be something. Whatever it is, it's unlikely to be quite as destructive as 2008 I believe, but I...

    Not an issue. If we buy the Ricoh then Wasps redeem the bonds.

    Hoffman really is a fan; I was at school with him - he was a regular in the West End.

    That's an awful thing to hope for. I don't want their football team to continue to do well but I wouldn't wish anything awful on an entire town.

    No! We need to worry. We cannot wait any longer before deciding where we place.

    That really is not what happens in investment banks at all - not even close. Possibly in Hedge Funds (which are small) but not in banks. The main business strategy is selling (providing instruments for business so that they can hedge their risks). The sales desk is taking business from...
