  6. Complex systems can apparently always be circumvented by the "computer savvy" which this guy was reported to be. UBS woke up to the fact when he told them what had happened. I suspect he had worked his way around the compliance systems by learning how they worked. In factI've just looked and the BBC are reporting that he worked in ther back office before becoming a trader
  7. The Coast is always changing - Maximo Park
  8. I will just say that I purchased three times from this seller in April last year and received all three items promptly (cattle wagons and chnia clay wagons)- and this was one of my feedbacks for him: "very quick postage, good comms, combined payment, excellent, thank you" Whilst I don't recall anything specific about this purchase, I clearly had some kind of contact e-mail with him, probably about the payment combination to save postage. So I contributed to that 100% rating....

  16. "posh end". That's the first time that I've heard Paddock Wood being included in "posh". I travelled to school from PW to Tonbridge (78-85) and was looked down on because of my origin..! The last train we could catch to arrive at school on time was a through train off the branch at approximately 8.20. Recollections of train length are hazy but 4 coaches feels right. I was not aware of the difference between HAPS and 2EPBS (presumably a HAP from the above) but I do remember that sometimes we got in a coach with no corridor but with dogboxes. So once the train had departed Paddock Wood, there was no one to disturb you at all - which was obviously favourable. It was a rare treat - but mainly because I preferred to catch an earlier train.
  17. I tend to think that people prefer the first version that they hear of a particular song - so for example, for me the Sioxsie and the Banshees version of "Dear Prudence" is better than the Beatles original. This is compounded by people not realising that the song that they are enjoying is a cover version - I was quite surprised when my Mum sang along to Dear Prudence...there you are thinking a particular song is quite cool and your Mum joins in Having said that, some covers do work best - Hurt as mentioned above, but also I'm beginning to rate Johnny Cash's version of "the Mercy Seat" alongside the original Nick Cave song.
  18. They need to give our bin men lessons. On a Monday, there can be litter strewn all over the street! Or am I just seeing the results of the urban foxes getting in the rubbish?

  20. Love Removal Machine - The Cult
