  1. Ok  but the dividends are high

    Today I was devastated by the news from Paris - As a retired Fire Fighter  and a Fire Safety Officer I cannot believe how  so many important buildings in these Islands and abroad are allowed to be destroyed by fire.  I spent virtually my whole adult life , telling people to watch carefully contractors , and  other builders.

    With buildings as important as the " School of Art ", or "Norte Dame,* it is imperative that buildings are checked , every night by trained security guards or others. I remember well the Bradford City disaster which unlike Hillsborough has never been investigated, I.  have read reports of combustible litter under the floor boards of the main stand, but nobody has been held to book for doing nothing about it. 

    I am so cross I couldn't give a dam if my shares fall to zero. Sorry for the rant folks.

    And the digression from the topic

  2. I have no grumbles about the performance

    Just wish after the injury when we passed to their goalkeeper, which set up their  first goal, We had just booted the ball out of play. The guy next to me, actually said

     at the time, it should have been played for a throw in.

    Small things change games

  3. My wife relies on her lap top, because she does all  the data based work for the book selling,

    She is buying a new one tomorrow at PC  world. -  The hard drive was unaffected by the collapse my local shop was able to save what she needed.

    Thanks Scotty for your help

     

  4. It could be better to use the ground first.

    If there is bad weather the pitch could be in a bit of a mess  for the second match

    Last time we played Hearts we had 5 goals start and blew it. So a big improvement is required that's for sure

  5. Thanks for your interest

    I got them in  around 2000 a broker came into my book shop and   he  said to buy them . I paid about a £1000  and them  I bought some more. later on  when they had a share issue.They went up to arpund £10,000 . When the  crash came they dropped right down.  I bought some more  about a year ago with another share issue offer came . I just pick up the dividend  twice a year, which is very good compared with interest rates you get  at the bank. I really have no intention of selling them.  I am 76 this year so unless I go broke they will be left to my kids.

    They are just a good source of income for me.  good solid company that does very well, builds schools and hospitals and the like. 

  6. What is the motivation of these fans ?   I realise they wish to show their disappointment and displeasure at performances.  Is it just a young male problem ? Is it a society problem ?. I say this because , I see very little respect in he media , for important members of society .  People these days  do not hold back in venting their frustration, in ways in my day would not have  been   tolerated. I have no answer ?

    My Dad always said " treat other people as you would wish to be treated yourself, courtesy costs nothing".   If people do not enjoy their football, why go to the matches?

    Imagine if these supporters were Notts County fans, the oldest club in football, founder member of the original football league, about to drop out of the EFL into obscurity. They  would really have something to moan about.

    !!! Yes Johnjo   you will see them at Chorley next year, amazing !!!

  10. A grim day in the annals of Inverness Caledonian Thistle,  Doesn't need Einstein to work that out

    Basically a blind man on a galloping horse  can see we need a centre forward, We seem to be striking by committee . We were undone against Falkirk, with a guy on loan from Rangers, a message in there for January one would think.
