FFoglamp, I have a fiver, should I invest in Boddingtons, Guiness or Carlsberg? I was also looking at long term investment and saw a home brew kit for £8 but that would mean doing an extra paper round. Should I just go with a small bottle of Bacardi instead?
Decisions, decisions...

Very sound advice from Jock there. I trust that answers your question.

However, too much investing in the above assets leads to hangovers etc...

Therefore you need one of my new "bad day policies".

This is where you pay a regular premium, and when you have a really bad day, you claim on the policy. This usually pays out £50 to get rat arsed and get a late night curry or kebab too, and you then feel better.

However, the incidence of claiming has been known to be high, so the premium is about £50.

£50, i want to know where you are drinking,that would only cover the first couple of hours drinking never mind the curry or kebeb

Ffoggy....i need help....Ive lost all my money ..I had to bail Albert out a few times and replace a lot of stock that went missing in the Verge Inn. Do you think if I sell all my ball top collection I will have enough to invest in a trip to Australia. There's a sax for sale out there and I really want it.

Blimey Tommo....how old are you exactly?

Roundheads had quite sturdy helmets of course......but were very common. Royalists were the better force however. Even though their boss lost his head. Nothing new there then.

Ball top sabotage was a common practice then too...how many tops rolled off down the hills in those days? eh?

My great great great great great great uncle Abelard Aardvark used to go round the battlefields
collecting shiney bits from the Roundhead corpses. He had quite a collection in the end. I wish I knew where he had buried them because it would help towards my financial problem....

I was just trying to help everyone out by looking up the prices on the "BALLTOP EXCHANGE", within Commodities, but trading has been suspended as there is a run on them at the mo.

The only way to get a decent price, is to ask the storeman how many he has in stock. I can work out price/earnings ratio based on the number in circulation, versus the estimated number squirreled away by you avid collectors, like Aaron Aardvark, and of course future demand once this settles down. You then get a list of balltops and current auction prices from EBay, and hopefully E-RMBay in the future, divide by the dividend mid price, then times this figure by your age, take away 1, add 11 (not 13), and take the square root of this. This will give you todays value of 1 balltop.

Finally, to get a true value of your balltops collection, just simply times the above figure by the amount you have, divide by 6.23 euros, and add the number you first thought. Or this could be total b**l*cks.
