Investors in shares must never invest with their heart and only with money they can afford to lose.

Just because a stock is very cheap indeed and is worth far more than the present price and every analyst makes it a buy, does not mean it will not go lower and go bust.

Auckland drivers turn to blow-up dolls
Jun 12, 2008 12:06 PM

Auckland drivers are turning to inflatable passengers to try and beat transit lane rules.

Blow-up dolls, shop mannequins and dogs dressed up as children have all been used to try and justify driving in lanes where vehicles are required to have at least three occupants... etc.

Forrest Gump - Life is like a box of chocolates

...to be honest, my mum used to say "you never know what's around the next corner, 2020, and maybe it's just as well". Somewhat similar I guess .

Pretty good deal at Liquorland at the moment... (I think I have it right) ..
if you buy $30 worth of wine (in bottles), you get 20c per litre off your next tankful of petrol.

plus the prices were incredibly cheap (for Liquorland anyways)
eg 8 bottles at $3.99 = $32

For each $30 spent - you get 20c per litre off 50L (say) = $10 saving.
Take a few jerry cans - then 20c per litre off 75L = $15 saving - and you're getting your booze at half price

PS, you buy $60 worth - you get two receipts - and two tankfuls. .
