ruth I am not typing this to cause controversy but the whole point about the bulger killers is they may not have been quite old enough to understand the concept of adult responsability.

BTW whats up with twt lately. The only thing thats consistant is every time i look at the monitor they are down

Ruth, don't know what it was - didn't affect the price. Went through right on the mid-price. Little bit more support now than there was - think it'll turn now... (can feel it in my waters)

Forwood,unfortunately the bulger killers now live in the manchester area with new identity,frightening to think of really,now this isnt a personal dig to you,everyone has their own opinion,but what i would say to the people in authority who secured there release is,would they be 100% happy leaving these" reformed "killers babysitting for there children or grandchildren now they are out,and supposedly no risk to anyone??????

[jumpin] 11/2/2002 14:25

Ruth: The Bulger case divides a lot of people but as a parent of 2 boys, I think the vindictiveness and lack of understanding shown towards the Bulger killers was way over the top. They weren't innocent by any means but I think they made a dreadful mistake, something boys of that age and younger do all the time.

My eldest boy is 11 today. He still believes in the tooth fairy (really - a few days ago he complained they hadn't come. Didn't think he had to tell Mum or Dad that he'd lost a tooth!)

[ruth] 11/2/2002 14:24

no RNS for this so Ill post this anyway


LONDON (AFX) - Barclays PLC is on Thursday expected to report year to Dec 31
pretax profit in the range of 3.669-4.08 bln stg, up from 3.496 bln last year,
with analysts confident that the bank's credit management skills should position
it well to withstand the downturn in credit quality.
On releasing its third quarter trading update, Barclays said its annual net
provisions charge is expected to be broadly in line with its estimate of 1.1 bln
stg reported on June 30.
Although the bank's exposure to bankrupt US energy trading group Enron Corp
was not specifically mentioned in the update, analysts said it is understood to
be included in the 1.1 bln stg figure. Exposure to Argentina was 0.5 bln stg at
the end of June 2001, and is likely to have fallen since that date.
Overall, analysts said Barclays offers a strong combination of sustainable
revenue growth, effective cost control and a firm grip on asset quality.
Analysts said they will also be looking for an update on the bank's strategy
in terms of expansion.
Commerzbank analysts argued that they would support the logic behind an
acquisition of Standard Chartered PLC, as there would be synergies from the card
business and from selling Barclays Capital products to its corporate customer
base as well as the usual head office cost savings.
The problem for Barclays shareholders is that there would probably be a lot
of competition for Standard Chartered's assets and therefore any predator is
likely to have to pay away most of the synergies to win the deal.
Earnings per share are forecast to come in at 147-154 pence per share, down
from 163.3 pence last year, but the bank is expected to declare a full year
dividend of 64-66 pence, up from 58 pence.

Ruth, thanks. A sub-poena is a writ to appear before a court.

BTW am married to a SWer. We do good all the time :-)
Don't know any that would excuse what happened to Damilola.

Ruth Forwood, I think it was this

New York, Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stock index-futures erased gains after the Securities & Exchange Commission subpoenaed Qwest Communications International Inc. for documents related to Global Crossing Ltd.
