With the launch of BBC Three today comes a new program called celebdaq, this is presented by the legend who is Paddy O’Connell, he used to present the world business report on news 24, anyone watch that? no? none of ya? *sigh* - i should get out more.
erm anyway basically this show is based on a website the beeb has been running for a while where there is a virtual stock market, you sign up and get £10,000 to spend on celebrities. Depending on their media coverage throughout the week you recieve a dividend per share. So basically you gotta guess who's gonna get the most media coverage BUT also because of demand it pushes share prices up (and down) so its probably not worth spending loads on a whacko jacko one now is it, he's only gonna fall n price in a few days, probably and so u've missed that boat :) anyway me, harry and dash have signed up just thought i'd alert the masses to this thing if anyone cares
why am i still rambling
oh yeah you'll need the link :blarg:

due to capitalist reasons I have decided to sell The Pope and invest heavily in Davina. Although less religious she has a far superior cleavage (I believe)

position 3838 oh yeah!, everyone loves the dividends!
33601... pwned by lack of dividend :-
donkeyhumper
21-02-2003, 14:45
OMG I r0x!!! 3838, seriously that's it, just four digits, none missing!
cos i spent all my money on alex ferguson and beckham and jumped 600% when I cashed in my dividend! Basically I think you wanna go for any story that broadsheets will get excited about because tabloids and the rest will also fall into line...
Alex ferguson was only a couple of squid when i spent half my cash on him, now i'm worth 108041.56 :D :love: mentla footie managers.
