Unfortunate geting old is one of the only garuntees in life so i thought i would give you a pointers to make happier retirement
If you had purchased GBP1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would
now be worth GBP49.00.
With Enron, you would have had GBP16.50 left of the original GBP1000.00.
With WorldCom, you would have had less than GBP5.00 left.
If you had purchased GBP1000 of Delta Air Lines stock you would have
GBP36.00 left.
But, if you had purchased GBP1,000.00 worth of beer one year ago, drank
all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminium recycling
REFUND, You would have had GBP214.00.
Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink
heavily and recycle .

I was thinking about 'spread betting' with unit trusts etc etc, until I got to the beer bit!!
Very good!
