Slight increase in Carnival shares, will it last.?

They went just over the £12 mark at one point yesterday. Currently 1,196.50p at market close. Still a good price Ken.

I'm not sure l'll be in a position to have a bet Mob as l don't bet online and l'm not sure betting shops will be open......besides l've been duped by my two girls....My daughter came up to me at the weekend and said "Daaaaad you know how much you love me" 'yes' sweetheart.... "as there is no horse racing at the moment how would you like to help me buy a new phone with your winnings"?.....well she's got a lovely smile which always melts my heart so l am now £120 lighter...my wife tried the same ploy and like a fool l gave her the same.....just in case you need a new phone Mob.....No!....l'm spending the rest on a new clothes horse. :lol:

Hi Jan...., it's not a given the HRA need the Ok from the Government first.

I don't know if you know this Jan but depending on your moms TV package you can ge racing live from any meeting with... At The Races (Sky 415/Virgin 535) and Racing UK (Sky 432/Freeview 231.....l personally don't have theses tv packages cos my wife won't let me have them due to nothing getting done in the house...squeak! squeak!

You can still watch all UK races by downloading the "Sporting life app" which is free....very easy to navigate once in. The only problem is that there is a 15 minute delay in race screening and bookies won't allow you to place a bet when the horse has already bolted..

Please pass on my best wishes to your Mom.

:wave:

Good plan but I have more phones than you can shake a stick at, from the kids and even the Grand Children. I could make a phone last a lifetime but that's not the way to go it seems. :wave:

Me and my wife were enjoying an elfresco dinner last night and l noticed the moon even though it was only 7pm. Space travel fascinates me, and it always leaves me thinking "now how did they do that" (moon landing)

There are those who would see the expense of space exploration a waste of money..... l see it as mankind's survival.

I'm always fascinated to see the Space Lab fly over, and always on time. It's incredible that it's thousands of miles away yet we can still see it.
