Great stock market, not

trackerHa, after reading the Motley Fool books and web site a while back, it was tracker funds all the way. Cannot lose, beat the markets.

Hmmm, turbulent times indeed. Arse.

Still better than paying overpaid fund managers excessive charges... Bloody red braces and Porches.

Hopefully the 0.5% cut in interest rates today will help.

Harley Davidson Bournemouth
Rally 2008
I have got round to uploading the photographs from this year's Harley Davidson rally down on Bournemouth Pier.

For the past 5 years I have told myself I should get down, have a look and take some photos but only finally got round to it now. The sun was out and the noise of 400+ bikes coming in was tremendous. There was also a really good live band on as well which with the sunny weather added to the atmosphere.

The bikes were running a bit late in their journey from Wareham so I would suggest getting down around 11am. Not sure what the usual parade time is.

100Not sure if it is a cause for celebration or concern but the web site has reached 100 red wine reviews.I was trying to get there by way of a Bulgarian Cabernet Sauvignon, ahh memories of Uni back in the late 80s, but couldn't find one.

I must have past that milestone a long time back but many of the restaurant ones have gone un-noted and not recorded.

Need to work on the white wines now. Know any good ones?

Congratulations to Andy and Adriana

Andy and Adriana
Mr & Mrs Walmsley
Congratulations to the newly wed Mr and Mrs Walmsley.

I bet that dance floor at the Miramar Hotel has never seen so much action in its life. Partying Latino style is great fun. Hopefully me doing the robot a la Peter Crouch brought some UK pride back.

Check out the wedding photos - seems like some people have taken advatange of the free bar a bit too much, and most of the guilty parties live in Bournemouth.

Good speech Mr Rich, however it didn't tug the heart strings as much as Adriana's father's.

Winter must be on its way

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
