Subject:  WHO IS THE ODD MAN OUT - and more importantly - WHY??

1. Lord Stevenson: former chairman, HBOS

2. Sir Fred Goodwin: former chief executive, RBS

4. Sir Tom McKillop: former chairman, RBS

5. John McFall MP: chairman of Treasury Select Committee

6. Alastair Darling: Chancellor of the Exchequer

7. Gordon Brown: Prime Minister and former Chancellor

8. Sir Terry Wogan: presenter of Radio 2's Breakfast Show


You're probably thinking Terry Wogan.

And you're right.

However, the reason may surprise you...



Terry Wogan is the only one out of this motley crew who actually holds any
formal banking qualification!!

Re: [lace-chat] Fancy asterisks

Hi Brenda,

I found it on our upstairs Apple, it is a US Flag, but it was not
on my MacBook Pro.  My DD helped me find it and I now have it on the top bar
and available should I need to add something special to my emails.  Thanks for
your help.

 Hi Brenda,
 I am not sure where you
mean.  What does the icon look like and is it on the Apple bar at the top or
the email bar?

 That only works with Microsoft applications.
 
 On a Mac you click on an icon at the top of the screen and it opens a
small window with all of those characters - and many more (about 1000 in all
including Braille) though not everything is available in every font) - and
then click on the one you want.

Asterisks are about as fancy as I can get on my new MacBook Pro laptop. Still
getting used to it.

I'm not even that good after years with
my laptop!

Got this from somewhere (can't remember where):

   
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°
°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø

That's
all I can manage, so to everyone:

   
ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º° Happy New Year
°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø
