    Cheers fellas
    Bought a blow up bed and stayed in the house last night! I was a little lost of which of the 4 loos and 4 bathrooms to use this morning. So I decided to use all of them ;)

    Golf has officially stopped. Got to buy furniture, car, paint... I'm just living the dream...

    1.6380?? So, all them reports of the dollars demise are a little premature...

    The big dollar thing will have to take place over years, not because of the americans but the chinese have trillions placed there for starters plus the rest of the world

    I really cant see the euro taking over though


    Just how big is this house, did you get one of those jumbo loans I always hear about.
    Also they get 5% loans fixed for 25 years in america right, thats a sweet deal

    I'm so busy you wouldn't believe... (you probably find that hard to believe as i'm always on here.. but i like to have a 2 minute break to let my tiny brain recover)
    i'm not used to this hard work!!
    Off to LA next week for 3 days. Fun in the sun!

    Not got a stoke flag. i have an england flag but it's illegal to fly them outside your house (unless you fly a stars and stripes beside it, i believe)

    I'm liking the spurt! good old yanks finishing off their donuts and pumping the rate up

    It's 3700sq feet of living space. 2600 above ground and 1100sq ft finished basement. It's 3 bedroom that can be converted to 5 (office upstairs and unfinished basement can be a bedroom).
    I've got a 30 year loan @ 5.125%

  • 14:32 29Jul09 IGBP/USD: Extends North To Threaten 1.6470, Asian Session Top

    London, July 29.

    Cable has all-but revisited 1.6470 (today"s Asian session top) having been
    buoyed by across-the-board buying of the pound (GBP/CHF and GBP/JPY have both risen sharply, with EUR/GBP down sharply). Sterling plumbed a one-week low of 1.6346 during the European morning (<TGM2339>).

    1.6470+ supply is touted at 1.6500. A 1.6485 option strike rolls off at
    today"s 10am Eastern NY cut (14:00GMT). There is a 1.6500 option expiry tomorrow(Thursday), and a 1.6490 option expiry Friday.
