    Nah, just spoon it straight from the jar, and swill it down with some value beer (25p a can). Yum Yum.

    We don't have spoons and I don't like beer, is the curry sauce liquid enough to drink straight?

    You might be reading too much into the lack of posting activity.

    How many people are motivated enough, and have sufficient time, to argue about market noise; especially when that market noise has remained so quiet for so long..

    That, sir, is a very valid point.

    All the time devoted to:

    A) Telling us these figures would be out today.
    B) Playing guess the figure based on research on other indexes.
    C) Dissecting the figures before they have even got them, and detailing just how 0.1 or 0.2% either way will make a difference YOY based on historical figures
    D) Taking time to state just how bad others will feel if the data is the way the poster wants it and how it might affect said posters.
    E) Refreshing this morning constantly before the figures were out to be the first to post them.
    F) Telling us aftercall, actually, they don't mean much anyway.

    They must just be rushed for time. Especially after researching every single forum to let us know what one poster we all know nothing of said 3 years ago and letting us all know not to take out our mortgage in Rupee's.

    I think you have cracked it. :beer:
  • Bit boring this thread.

    Would have been a bit more exciting if they had risen. Would be on page 5 now, with the party raging and the self congratulations brigade bouncing off each others posts about how right they were.

    Ho hum. Back to work I guess.

    Guess which threads are about positive price rises and which are about negative house prices?

    Probably. You can then sell the jar on ebay for a small profit.

    Obviously you're rushed off your feet too. I don't how you managed to fit in that review of the typical housing index thread.

    Same for me - it's all go go go - it was a struggle to get that Greggs review done.

    What I can't work out is why are China's GDP figures so much higher than ours - it's a mystery.

    I will call it a special edition rare jar.

    This idea will boost my deposit fund massively. :j (I think it needs a kick)

    I was joking, but then I found this:

    Methinks this could be a major money-spinner.

    I'd imagine it has quite low viscosity.

    You could just cut out the middle man, and pour it straight down the toilet. I suspect that in doing so, you'll lose zero nutritional benefit.

    I'm actually bored to tears.

    On call, with absolutely nothing to do and can't go no where due to being on call. About the most exciting thing that happened today so far is someone telling me their computer wasn't working, so asked if they had switched it on. They said they would check and call me back.

    Never did.

    Some days are just painfully slow.

    That does get to the limited edition jar quicker, profits have just doubled.
