    I fancy a pint

    ... not a beer at home, but go out. I've not been to the pub since Sunday.

    However:
    1. I'm supposed to be here until NY close
    2. I want to watch part 2 of Silent Witness
    3. If I go now or shortly I'm going to end up having too much (3 is my limit these days)
    4. I'll have to change my shirt as it's the one with Pot Noodle stains on it.


    What am I to do?
    How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

    What am I to do?
    By my calculation, New Year is just over 83 days away. Is that close enough for you to deserve a beer?

      Good job I didn't go early. I would have missed the fun and games of the sell-off.

              What are you talking about - he's got another 6600 posts to go?

              Or do we not count posts on CUK any more?

                as i remember it, if the dow jones hit 9800, as HAB predicted a while back when it was at 12,000, then a certain client of his was gonna get on a plane and come kick his backside .. i'd hate to think what they're gonna do at 9,000 but either way it makes an AtW night look tame..

                  he hoped that the DJIA wouldn't drop any lower than 8000 the other day. looks like it could be there very soon.
