alceringa Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Man flushes thousands down train loo A German man has lost thousands of pounds after accidentally flushing a wad of cash down a train loo. According to police reports the 38-year-old was travelling to Holland to buy a car when the incident happened. The cash - around ?7,500 in euros - apparently slipped out of his pocket and into the toilet somewhere between the Dutch towns of Venlo and Eindhoven. A guard on a following train was able to collect around ?2,500 lost at the scene, which he handed in to police in Eindhoven. The unlucky German was able to collect a further ?600 himself, before being ordered away from the tracks for safety reasons. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longOnUranus Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 fucutures up 5 and change vs. fair value. As much as I'm tempted to short the SPX this week, it will take cahones of steel...way too many variables. Dont see any news to cause the spike, and it's between NIK close and EURO curtain call. Al didn't take his Restoril tonight, I guess. Looks like long equities, short USD may be back in play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The brown one Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Geez,I go away for an hour,thinking no action to report here,and the wheels start to fall off--well a 1~1.5% drop in less than an hour is an unusual occurrence after being pinned to the ceiling for a year! Banks/Insurance and van der Moolah(specialist on NYSE) getting hit the hardest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrStool Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I do not think words such as crapper are appropriate to be used on a message board. Aussie Bear would never use such a word. Tanks for opening, al. Obviously you don't draw the traffic Aussiebear does. Must have something to do with Nikkers and Honkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alceringa Posted March 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Yup. My guess is most stoolies are more interested in Nikkers than Honkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
