I think I have added way too much value recently talking about markets - stocks and wine. By the way, Pontet Canet 2005 was released the other day at £475 per case. A touch rich for my liking, but it went in an instant and a second tranche has now been released at £525. Oh if broking stocks were as easy...and profitable.
So I thought I would end the week with a tale of Alphabetical Bullying. An interesting concept, which was articulated to me the other evening by my 5 year old daughter, Lottie. She bore the tell tale signs - a deep scratch on her cheek - of yet another grapple with one of our cats. You would think she would have learnt by now. She has been told off enough times for manhandling them by her parents as well as by the cats. But she was having none of it. "It happened at school. Charles attacked me in the playground." I thought I would play along with this charade and asked her why he had done this. "He doesn't like girls whose name starts with L" was her response. "He always attacks Lillie and Laetitia too". "Oh dear me", I said sympathetically, " I hope there aren't any other bullying boys at your school." "There are." she said. " Alexander......he doesn't like girls who begin with S". She followed this with the name of yet another thug who apparently targets J's. I asked her if any letter was safe. There was no stopping her. Quick as a flash she told me. "M. That's safe......Mary never gets beaten up." Too weird. The recent Inspectors Report made no mention of this at all.
Anyway enough of this rubbish other than to say please take a look at the gubbins below because there's a lot of interesting stuff there and also that I'm going to be pestering you to book a meeting with Russell Napier so ring me to preempt this if you want to!
Have a good weekend. I'm off to try and buy a horse. Must be completely mad. And English football fans amongst you....prepare for a disappointing Sunday afternoon.
