I'm doing American Studies, staying in Britten House, how about you? What you riding?

Just started at UEA and would love to get involved if anything's still going on. Probably gonna have to change my gear as Norwich is a bit hillier than native Cambridge though

I know there's a few about somewhere so just wondering whether anyone is selling a Gazelle jersey? 40" - 42" chest preferable.

does anybody have a decent lock for sale?

I got one, Cromwell road , in this evening or at polo 2morra

Looks like I missed that one. I guess my best bet is to go try BA on tuesday, turns out I'm stuck at work 11am - 10pm tomorrow anyway - awesome.

Ah, fair shout. Cheers for that, then. A job for Monday...

I rang all the shops and they said that I'd have to keep it in a few days until they get round to doing it. I was kind of hoping to just get a tool and do it myself but I guess that's not going to happen.

So the weather is awesome today and I don't have a bike because I need to tighten the bottom bracket. Does anybody have a Miche bottom bracket tool I could pick up this weekend?

Cheers,
Will

Are the silver and black ones brand new as well as I may be interested, are the cables of equal length to each ear piece?

If the answer to this is yes then I'll take the black and red ones.

Seen a few create/unipacks around recently. A green one with white tyres around Hills Road caught my attention in particular.

Shit, forgot to put the wanted thing on. Grrrrreat.

After a set of Cinelli track bars in half decent condition if anyone's got some lying about? Not after NOS because I can't afford it, but will pay fair money for something in nice enough condition.

Anyone?

Platini, I admire your taste.

If you mean the premise of this thread... I agree very much.

So fucking ignore it?

My almost sincere apologies for being interested in something you're not...

Bonobo!

Fuck the fuck off. I know you won't mind me saying this.

Umm I don't mind you saying it, but am I allowed to not understand why?

Safe and stock market usually don't go hand in hand. To be honest, 1K isn't going anywhere. Put it in ISA.

Yeah, I'm probably leaning towards keeping them were they are or putting them in an ISA.

You don't know who I am. At the moment I'm an enthusiast, but at the end of next week I'll have a bike (finally) and I'll try and get a bit more involved.

This thread!?
I think it is about time I say my goodbyes.

Huh?

I must admit, I don't ever invest any money in anything, really. Pay off the mortgage, feed the kids, buy beer and whatever my current obsession is - bikes or boats or building stuff... If I've got any spare money it's a sign that I'm working too many hours.

Yeah, this is my first ever opportunity really, but being only 18 I haven't yet felt the burden of real responsibility.

keep the shares in fortune, discussion here

Very interesting. Perhaps that's what I'll do for now then - see what happens.

Yeah, to be honest I'm hoping to stay away from the stock market unless I get something really good. Preferably looking for something a bit safer.

Boring but cash ISA FTW

But I'm potentially talking a 5 - 10 year investment, 5% (max) on a £1000 investment doesn't really seem like a great use.

For green / energy investments...
Landfills could be good over the next ten years - there's some interesting action going on in plastics recycling that, combined with ever-rising oil prices, are going to make landfills look more like plastic mines.
Anything involving insulation is good too. Big changes are going to come in building regs. External insulation products for houses are going to be very big, as is triple glazing.
There will be big money in oil supply but not in oil-consuming goods, so no car companies or heavily energy-intensive products.
Tidal generation is the big one coming for the UK renewables market. We've got almost the biggest, fastest tides in the world, pushing through endless straits and suchlike, and almost no tidal power generation. Onshore wind - not so much, given the land use issues.

You say oil supply, so could it be worth just holding it in oil for the time being? It's just been floating around 5 - 8p for the last few months and has only ever hit a high of 14p, so it would appear that they're pretty minor players.

Haha, as long as I can stab you back.

if you get any tips
although it's all too easy to drink your profits

i heard stella by the case was a good investment £18.50 in my local office freaking bargain
it's £20 usually

£1.50 saving on £20
thats not a bad turn

Nice, then I could sell by the can at £2 and I'm away!

I'm not worried about keeping it in energy at all. I was thinking of something illicit, but I don't really want to risk it at the moment. Guaranteed profit though I guess.

Wine/art sounds good, I mentioned in the wine thread that my brother's godfather has a case of 2005 Le Pin that he bouhght for £1000 that is now worth around that per bottle. Seems pretty safe for me, as long as I make the right investment. I could talk to him about that, I guess, as he employs a guy to sort him out with wine so it wouldn't cost him anything to help me out.

Long term is fine, really, considering it's money I never had in the first place.
