The Night I Got £66,349.98

Here is a story for a long and boring dinner!

Yesterday night I was just going through my HSBC INVESTDIRECT account seeing how my humble investments were doing... and what I saw made my jaw drop out of its socket!
Apparently my INVESTDIRECT ACCOUNT which should have shown a NET WORTH of around £1000 (ya so I am poor!) showed £66,349.98.


For obvious reasons have blacked out the important details!



Being an IT guy I knew that there was some problem up at HSBC so couldn't even dream of being labelled the next Investment WhizKid (turning £1000 into £66k in 1 year without really investing.. that HAS to be magic!).

Who would have expected such a slip up from HSBC!

Heroes

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done



Gnarles Barkley - Crazy



I always wanted to be the avenging cowboy hero- the lone voice in the wilderness, fighting corruption and evil wherever I found it, and standing for freedom, truth andjustice. And in my heart of hearts I still track the remnants of that dream wherever I go, in my endless ride into the setting sun.
