I was pipped all round mate, but in any case, the best man won.

I would have voted for you myself if I hadn't voted for myself, myself.

Even my other nicks turned against me and voted as they wished - schizoid turn-coats!

 

[FetteredChinos]

JT, im glad you made that gag, i was tempted myself, but thought better of dragging all you lot down into the gutter to join me.

Tony, im glad i wasnt the only one to vote for myself. I tried to vote for myself as best Data Feed, but they weren't having any of it...


seriously (?) though, well done to everyone else (CM - I love you, man :cheesy: ), and may the Members' Awards bring in lots of future advertising revenue.


yours cynically,

FC

HEAR,HEAR . Shouting purposely - couldn't draw up a better role of honour.

[FetteredChinos]

how about Trader333 then Barj?

and i would probably add you to the list (possibly under Best AI software). where would we be without your relentless bullish outlook on the FTSE ??

FC

 

[barjon]

mmm, I'd certainly add in trader 333 and some others - but the list as it stands will do for me. How's your golf handicap going - there wasn't a category for that

[FetteredChinos]

its a bit on the stationary side at the moment. some toe-rags broke into my car back in november and not only caused enough damage to him to write him off, but also stole me clubs, and i have only recently managed to get some replacements.

when the frosts subside, i may get back on the course.. playing in london is never easy, as lugging clubs around on the tube isnt my idea of fun..

perhaps i could start selling some of my trading systems and landscape my own course in my Palace gardens!

now there's an idea.

Let this serve as your wake-up call.

Well done and well deserved, FC, your data-feed is indeed better than much of the stuff on here.

Des, I will vote for you, if only to save your cat further harm !

Des: Vote for me - or the cat gets it !!

 

[RUDEBOY]

Dow Jones itself, should have been best data feed?

Whats the matter with Bloomeberg?
