Pendragon 1 #1 September 26, 2008 Received this funny from a friend: If you had purchased £1,000 of Northern Rock shares one year ago it would now be worth £4.95 With HBOS, earlier this week your £1,000 would have been worth £16.50 £1,000 invested in XL Leisure would now be worth less than £5 (I dread to think about AIG, Lehmans etc) ...but if you bought £1,000 worth of Tennants Lager one year ago, drank it all, then took the empty cans to an aluminium re-cycling plant, you would get £214! So based on the above statistics the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and re-cycle... -- BASE #1182 Muff #3573 PFI #52; UK WSI #13 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got one in my garage nailed on the side of my home-built recycle center. It's only a few bucks but it was a gift from my brother-in-law. Or you could just set them up on the floor and stomp them flat.

JT3P 0 #6 September 26, 2008 I got a similar e-mail from a friend, but it ended with: A recent study found the average adult walks 900 miles in a year. Another study found the average adult consumes 22 gallons of alcohol in a year. That means the average adult gets 41 MPG! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
