Gohan's proved himself to not be tiny and blonde, so I'm not doing it OD....

Unless you peroxide his hair and cut off his legs that is. I've just finished a book on Jeffrey Dahmer so I'm just brimming with new ideas one could say :)

I read the title as crash, trust me to start the game by buying a fucking shit load of shares in G4S, then a week later the shit hits the fan and my shares lose over 20%.

Zarjazz pissed himself at work the other day when he realised what I had bought :)

Still don't really understand how to do this, bought some stock which I've made £200 on in 3 hours, how do I then sell it?

Well i just bought myself 200 tobacco shares. I smoke, so seemed like a reasonable reason to spend 5k :D

You have to own the shares for at least one day before you can sell them.

Actually, you don't need what I posted (the official exchange ticker code)... you need a derivative of it, probably by adding '.L' afterwards... some of the uninitiated fools seem to think that what this game uses is a standard ticker code... I won't say more than that :p
