You seem to have a problem with light usage in those pics.

She is indeed very lovely.

Is that your house? For some inexplicable reason I had you down for a trailer.

I reckon 1.51 to 1.46 (about 3.3%) in less than 18 hours can be called a collapse. I bet you wish your client's investments earned interest at that rate.

Think of it another way - the pound was already falling on the back of 'fears of a hung parliament'; when it happened, why should it have fallen further?

It was a collapse.

You really do sound like the Daily Mail

It fell further due to idiotic individual investors panicking as they always do. And the certainty of uncertainty. And because most of the city was optimistically hoping for a Conservative victory and didn't get it.

The country is a mess and it just isn't going to get better for ages. Very depressing.

Why...did they annoy you?

At least you don#t annoy us.

I've got a farm in Gambia - we don't have any Black Angus Animals - but wait - are you not confusing them with cows - that's what the picture looks like.

Nice udders too I imagine!

If you look at the properties (right click on the photo) of the cows you can see that the URL is a photobucket user called redpeters3

You can see his other crappy pictures including one of a toothbrush.

Word of advice - don't leave traces that people can follow.
