Yeah, was a "local" from the mid-eighties until the trading floor switched over to screens at the end of 1999.
Trade mainly currency CFDs & Stock Index Futures from home these days.

Did you start off on LIFFE ? , I've only ever traded the screens, got recruited from a spot fx desk when LIFFE went to screens , got loads of mates from LIFFE , don't suppose you knew a bloke called George Tucker ? was SFE as bent as LIFFE was
Went to a punk show in Orange County in California which was full of skinheads who were really getting on my nerves, in the end I told them I was jewish (I'm not) just to wind them up, that was a mistake. Basically they waited outside for me with knives and guns, I was smuggled out of the club in the boot of my friends car and pretty sheepish the next day about my actions. Over the next couple of weeks I kept hearing about skinheads looking for the English guy and was getting ready to call it a day and fly back to the UK, however, luckily for me a group of them picked a fight with a Mexican guy in Huntington Beach who produced a gun and shot four of them dead. After that the noise about finding me diminished.............................. note to myself, don't screw around with nazis who carry guns
Sounds like one of my brother's mate. Do you know Don?
Bus got into Ahmadebad 5 minutes before our train connection. Train station around 2 miles away. Why did we ask the auto rickshaw driver, if he could get us there in time? Made it....

Child's play. Try doing your undercarriage with a pair of hair clippers. Guaranteed blood bath, with your bollards lost somewhere in the middle of a red river.
If you're in the South Island near Invercargill call in a place called Riverton - there is (or was in 1991) a long abandoned ralway bridge spanning a raging torrent (the River). The bridge was made of wood totally rotten by then. What possessed me to walk across it with a back-pack totally alone I'll never know. A woman met me at the far end she told me some of the locals used it as a short-cut.
Oh and slagging off a young guard on the then Yugoslavian/Hungarian border touting an AK47 when I thought I'd lost all my luggage, he was very jumpy. He'd be even more jumpy nowadays in that neck of the woods.
Oh I did that in 1981, just the one day though. The locals seem to do it every day, and run TOWARDS the bulls as they were released with rolled up newpapers (to antagonise them). Wearing bright red (ditto). The first instance where I learned why you vacate yourself scared, it gives your body less weight to shift! Someone on OUR party got pissed up in a campsight cafe, we tried to convince him to come back with us to our tents. Next morning he came back minus his camera but with a big bruise on his head where someone had wellied him with a bottle..
Brown? Yeah I went over with him in 84
Ah this saves starting another BS thread that'll get the moaning minnies all bent out of shape.

I've met you at Hackets 40th party in Partridge Green, the man who farts in the back of LAPD cars. Not many People called Smeg! Lot of skinheads in Huntington Beach back in the 90's. I guess Nick may have been with you. Did Mt Whitney with him a couple of years ago. cheers.

You're right. Perhaps it's time for me to come clean with my story:
I'm an only child, I don't remember much about my dad and although we didn't have a lot of money my mum brought me up as best she could in the projects of West Philly, Pennsylvania. Basketball has always been my passion and I used to play all the time in the courts near where I lived. Occasionally I'd come home with a few cuts and bruises and Mum would worry but generally I could look after myself until one day when I was just shooting hoops with my mates, a couple of real bad news blokes who had a big reputation around the area came onto the court and started to push us around, demanding money, trying to steal the ball. One of them grabbed hold of my mate, threatening him with a knife and I could tell he was scared for his life.
So this was the riskiest thing I did: I fought back. I got lucky with a couple of punches and saw these blokes off. I didn't tell my mum about the fight but she found out anyway and then we heard on the grapevine that these blokes were looking to kill me.
Mum was frantic and so she made a few phone calls to her sister in Los Angeles and before I knew it my bags were packed, a plane ticket in my hand and that was it - I was moving out there away from all my friends and family to a place I didn't know with people I'd never met. It changed my life for sure and now I'm quite the success with a lovely wife and an odd cross-dressing son who can't act for toffee but I do look back and wonder what would have happened if I hadn't taken that risk to defend my friend.
