Mr Fox,
I got the middle finger from a lady the other day because I did that. She was in the queue and got so angry that she drove off without getting any fuel.

It happens to me all the time and today I was fed up with it. You sit there in a queue because they are all waiting for one particular pump to become available even though there are other pumps available. Today it was white van man who was giving grief. The fuel line wouldn't have reached around his Transit anyway. Flamin' muppet!!!

Re: Why is it that.......
... when you come home late at night, you slide the key into the lock very gently, swing the door open slowly, remove your shoes in the dark and start creeping up the stairs, being careful to avoid that creaky one three steps up, that the lights suddenly come on like Blackpool illuminations, and there she is, standing at the top of the landing, tapping her rolling pin against her knuckleduster, and shrieking "wherethebleedingellhaveyoubeenyoubinoutboozingwiththatAdmiralandDarknightagain!" (Isn't amazing how they can say so much without drawing breath?)
On the other hand, you come home late at night, trip over the garden gnome, fumble the key into the lock, slam the door shut, throw your shoes across the hall, stomp up the stairs singing "I'm in the mood for love" at the top of your voice, and she's so fast asleep it would take a nuclear explosion to wake her.

Why is it the creaky stair is always three steps up!!!
Why is it your loved one never hears you when you talk to them sat next to you yet rustle a sweet paper when they are upstairs and they hear that?

When I was studying for the Institute of Financial Services, I had to laugh when the first sentence of the text book stated "In yaers gone past, many people made a small fortune by investing a large fortune."kaymar wrote:...........when you want to invest some money, you go to a broker?

Nothing changes, does it S.S? Lots of people have done the same thing in the last five years, even with the help of their "broker"

Re: Why is it that.......
Any broker is now required to ascertain your "attitude to risk" and how long you are willing to tie your money up for. He should look at funds that are well established (unless you have a "high" attitude to risk and have a long time to go before retirement - in which case a small "punt" can pay dividends) and examine their performance over at least 5 years. Investment performance tends to be cyclical - averaging five year highs and lows. Unless you have no knowledge whatsoever of these things, it's worth going to somewhere like Hargreaves Lansdown (I do NOT work for them), where you can self invest and keep a close watch on your investments. I bought into a couple of funds at the wrong time, and have lost some money, while another fund has grown by nearly 150% in two years, so I keep taking some of the profits and reinvesting in lower-risk funds. Had I left my pension pot where it was, I'd have made perhaps 4% growth. Since moving it to HL, I'm seeing overall returns of 24%.kaymar wrote:Nothing changes, does it S.S?

Why is it that in tampon commercials they're always laughing and dancing? Shouldn't they be revving chainsaws & burning sh*t down?

Experience is something you don't get until . . . just after you need it.

Why is it that when women say yes they really mean no, and when they say no they really mean yes?
