There's a 1980 album called "Swing of Delight" by Devadip Carlos Santana, aka Carlos Santana.
Edit
Probably some sort of Thai title as he appeared to be under the influence of a Thai guru at that time. (Has there ever been a time he hasn't been under one influence or another?)

Why don't one of you start a relevant thread? Would be a sure fire success - or has it already been done?

gunnergonk> Congratulations on a deserved championship. As a United fan who actually goes to the games and lives in Trafford and not an armchair supporter from the Deep South, believe me when I say its deserved. Unlike last season when you gave it to us. But this has not been an unsuccessful season for me. I had Leeds to go down at 13/2 and I have United to win at least 1 cup this season at Evens. Im looking forward to next season already but first England 9/1 each way and France at 4/11 for Euro 2004. Any team who goes the season without loosing deserves the championship even if you lot had to resort to blatant cheating at OT. But im not bitter.!!!!!
uknighted - 4 May'04 - 23:16 - 3632 of 3739
Fine thanks Gunnergonk
Having congratulated you previously it would be sour grapes to say "If only Ruud hadn't missed that penalty" so I wont ;-).
What are you drunk on - Champers?
Don't underestimate Leicester, nothing to lose, point to prove and if the Gooners feel the same way as you do, well - you never know.
Same for us and Millwall. Thoughts of Southampton and Sunderland (v.Leeds) spring to mind!!
Enjoy the rest of the season, the hard part is emulating it next season!!
PS Did you see that quote from Beckham "I don't want to leave Madrid" - similar noises 12 months ago!!

Yes I echo the congrats to the gooners. Quite an astonishing season. This time they didn't lose the championship, by their defence falling apart at the last minute. It was consistantly well played. They are the best team in the country........ for the moment..... (and sometimes the dirtiest).
Oh by the way, this weekend, I saw the replacment for Henri. He's a twelve-year old striker, plays for his County. His team just won the local schools championship - with no losses. He supports Arsenal and his name is Jordan. Even his school teachers are certain he'll play pro. And on top of all that he's really nice kid. He's the best friend of my nephew. What's funny is that my nephew is a top tennis player and his mate is the top footballer. A bit like Henman and Beckham growing up together at the same school as best buddies!
God help United if Jordan starts playing for Arsenal.

i confess this is nothing but sour grapes of course..having ALWAYS detested Arsenal for reasons lost in my distant youth...but i cant quite understand why NOT LOSING is such an important thing ?!?...frankly if someone went the whole season and drew every game it wouldnt mean much would it?..and they might even go down!..........so, hats off to Arsenal for winning the league, they have been the best team and played great footy at times..but lets not pretend that NOT LOSING is anywhere near as important, OR fun to watch, as winning games...now, if someone wins the title AND wins every game, that WOULD be something special..

Cash shell companies storm back into business (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)
(Filed: 02/05/2004)
They've been beyond the pale since the dotcom bust but shells are suddenly all the rage and queueing to float. Richard Fletcher and Grant Ringshaw report
To those outside the Square Mile the concept must seem bizarre: companies with a stock market quote but no actual operating business that are worth millions of pounds.
But in the coming weeks a string of these businesses, known as cash shells, will float on Aim, the lightly regulated stock market.
They include companies such as Urban Dining, a shell company backed by John Metcalf, the Pizza Express founder, that is looking to acquire restaurant chains. Then there's Alltrue Investments, which hopes to buy financial services businesses including small stockbrokers and boutique investment banks.
Another is Aurum Mining, which believes gold mines in the former Soviet Union are undervalued.
They are the latest in a wave of shell companies which have floated in recent months. And they are all hoping to zoom like Roshni Investments. It is looking to invest in the telecoms sector and has seen its shares soar by 310 per cent since it was listed in March, despite not having made a single acquisition.
Shell companies are not a new phenomenon, just one that's back in fashion. They were often the skeleton of a failed business, valuable mainly because they provided a shortcut to a stock exchange listing. A real business looking for a stock market quote could bypass the costly and time-consuming process of floating and simply buy the shell - a process known as a reverse takeover.
In some cases there was the added benefit of a pile of cash already in the shell, as well as unutilised tax losses.
At the height of the dotcom boom, cash shells were all the rage, as fledgling companies with little more than an idea rushed to the stock market. Back then a string of entrepreneurs - including Mike Edelson, the Manchester United director, and Nigel Robertson, the Monaco-based entrepreneur - recognised there was a tidy sum to be made.
They exploited the Aim listing rules, which - unlike those of the main Stock Exchange market - do not oblige member companies to have a trading history.
By the end of that boom, Robertson had added to his estimated £50m fortune and Edelson had been dubbed the "Shellmeister" after bringing a string of shells to the market - including Knutsford, which soared by more than 1,000 per cent before crashing back to earth.
But Robertson now concedes that the structure of the Aim-listed cash shells was the brainchild of Andrew Regan, the colourful entrepreneur best known for his controversial, but unsuccessful, attempt to buy the Co-op.
It was Chris Akers, a former City analyst and a friend of Regan, who bought Charriol - one of the first Aim-listed cash shells - to the market in October 1998. Within months Charriol bought Virtual Internet, whose business was registering company names on the internet.
In recent months Robertson has brought a string of new shell companies to the market. He is the chairman of Roshni Investments, in which he owns a 60 per cent stake, and Reflexion Cosmetics, a shell company which hopes to build an international cosmetics business.
He is also an investor in Aurum Mining, the cash shell that is looking to invest in gold mines in the former Soviet Union.
"The City is an intimidating place for entrepreneurs. They get a lot of comfort from using a shell. We hold their hand," says Robertson.
Leo Knifton, the chairman of Alltrue and a City veteran, argues that the renewed interest in cash shells has been driven by the "pick-up in stock markets over the past 15 months" and an increase in trading in smaller company shares by fund managers.
Edelson has also been cashing in on the rising demand, bringing a number of shells to the market in recent months, including Enition, Felix and Nadlan. But, unlike at the peak of the dotcom boom, these days investors in Edelson's shells know exactly what the shell company is planning to acquire before they invest.
Metcalf also believes that it is important that investors know what they are getting involved in. "There is an institutional appetite for a clear proposition with the proper management team," he says.
Last week Simon Fry, the former head of Nomura's international markets division, reversed his Hong Kong-based investment banking business into Skiddaw Capital, another cash shell.
So why did such an experienced financier opt to reverse into a shell? "Going for a new listing can be slow and onerous. It was a way of getting a listing easily and quickly in a clean vehicle," he says.
Cash shells are back with a vengeance. But as those who invested in Knutsford - which soared from 2p to 270p before crashing back to earth - know too well, they are not a one-way bet.

====================================I totally agree. Yes, then prices I got were fromn the convert trader who sees ALL the prices for all the issues of the convert in the market - and it was a major Swiss IB who was making the 20/50 (but they always make sh#t prices to me in my own markets!)====================================I've had a fiddle with Bloomberg this evening (had to wait until people had left, didn't want to admit that I didn't really know how to use the damn thing) and worked out that you must mean UBS who are showing 30/33.Interestingly BNP are showing 52.8/53 (quote seemingly update this evening at 18:37?), which seems a strange quote given that pretty much everyone else is in the range 26/39. Still don't like B'berg but did manage to run your "QSRC", which suggested Alumasc, Lincat and Sirdar within some relatively tight filters - will take a peek at their accounts when I get time and may yet become a B'berg convert.
Now, what sort of profession has access to Bloomberg?

I assume that those people who are expecting a dividend in the short-term are the same people who believe that they can make good investment decisions wihout doing any research whatsoever.Simply reading the last set of accounts, the interims here:http://www.uk-wire.com/cgi-bin/articles/200306060700420025M.htmlprovides the following:-----------------------------------------DividendIn accordance with the restrictions imposed upon us as a result of the extension to our revolving credit facility in November 2002, the Board has concluded that no interim dividend will be payable. The terms of the new financing contain a similar restriction which will make it unlikely that a dividend will be paid for the duration of the facilities. -----------------------------------------The "facilities" expire in 2006 and so management have very clearly explained that it is unlikely that a dividend will be paid until after 2006.
