Free Money
Is there such a thing as free money? Yes!
When walking down the road and you find a lost coin then you have found free money.
Now if only someone would leave a few large bank notes!!!
Has Christmas come your way yet? The spirit seems to have passed me by so far. I have been left with wondering if it is worth buying a turkey and stuffing it or finding somewhere open and eating out? To many decisions.Paid Surveys

Website up an running
Yippee, after numerous attempts I have finally got the new website up and running.
Down the drain has gone the idea of a nice scientific, educational site and out of the hat has come a site that provides links for surveys.
Why? Well, since I am on the web so much I decided to sign up for a few surveys. I find it fun as they differ in style. There are the consumer surveys, the movie survey and the product testing survey.
At present my favorites are a new paytoclick site which is in its construction stage and due to explode onto the website in December in its full form. A paytolearn site where there are stacks of questions on everything from children's songs to maths, music, art, history etc etc .
Plus I discovered a few sites that you listen to music at and comment on them. It is a great way to hear new music and not have to pay for it.

A monks tale
A man's car broke down as he was driving past a beautiful old monastery. He walked up the drive and knocked on the front door of the monastery. A monk answered, listened to the man's story, and graciously invited him to spend the night. The monks fed the man and led him to a tiny chamber in which to sleep.The man thanked the monks and slept serenely until he was awakened by a strange sound. The next morning, as the monks repaired his car, he asked about the sound that woke him. The monks said, "We're sorry. We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk."
The man was disappointed, but eager to be gone, so he thanked the monks for their kindness and went on his way. During quiet moments afterward, the man pondered the source of the alluring sound. Several years later, the man was driving in the same area. He stopped at the monastery on a whim and asked admittance. He explained to the monks that he had so enjoyed his previous stay, he wondered if he might be permitted to spend another night under their peaceful roof. The monks agreed and the man stayed. Late that night, he heard the sound. The next
morning, he begged the monks to explain the sound. The monks said, "We're sorry. We can't tell you about the sound. You're not a monk." By now, the man's curiosity had turned to obsession. He decided to give up everything and become a monk, if that was the only way to learn about the sound. He informed the monks of his decision and began the long and arduous task of becoming a monk.
Seventeen years later, the man was finally established as a true member of the order. When the celebration ended, he humbly went to the leader of the order and asked to be told the source of the sound. Silently, the old monk led the new monk to a huge wooden door. He opened the door with a golden key. That door swung open to reveal a second
door of silver, then a third of gold, and so on until they had passed through twelve doors, each more magnificent than the last. The new monk's face was awash with tears of joy as he finally beheld the wondrous source of the mysterious sound he had heard so many years before. But, we can't tell you what it was. You're not a monk

French threaten to destroy Champaign stock
It is a sad world when workers at a French Champaign company are threatening to destroy their entire mature and maturing Champaign stock.
Earlier this year a US group purchased Bricout-Delbeck for one euro. In April Bricout-Delbeck was declared bankrupt. Now the US are restructuring with the reduction of employees from 133 to 95 and only a fraction of the stock and manufacturing facilities.
Understandably the employees are not satisfied with their uncertain future and are holding the US group to ransom with the threat of destroying the stock estimated at around 300,000,000 euros. It is alleged that the workers have already destroyed a token amount of the stock.
