The Pigeon's nightmare

Do Pigeons Dream?

They might seem unlikely candidates for psychological analysis,
but pigeons have given a revealing insight into how animals, including humans, can be bound by dreams and supertition. In the Summer of 1947, a renowned psychiatrist named Skinner published his study on a group of pigeons that showed even animals are susceptible to the human conditions of dreams and superstition. Skinner conducted his research on a group of hungry pigeons whose body weights had been reduced to 75% of their normal weight when well-fed. For a few minutes each day, a mechanism fed the birds at regular intervals. What observers of the pigeons found showed the birds developing superstitious behaviour, believing that by acting in a particular way, or committing a certain action, food would arrive. Insights like this are highly significant which is why I have already signed up for our wonderful new County project - the Dream Team. It is all Alan's idea and what a good idea too. Sign up now, you will not regret it. And nor will you ever regret getting in touch with me about your French property needs. Incidentally the French for pigeon is, mais oui, pigeon!

Lets do lunch?

If you have never visited Chateau Gontier you are missing a treat. It is one of those imposing towns that never fails to captivate the hearts of visitors. I have recently come across some excellent properties in the area and with the value of the pound rising this could be the perfect time to invest. Give me a call as soon as possible. The French property scene is moving fast. Of course Chateau Gontier is twinned with our very own Frome and there is an excellent reason for popping into Frome tomorrow lunchtime. Alan Jones will be hosting a special get-together at the Old Bathe Arms and many of you may wish to have social intercourse with him. Alan is a past-master and well worth a detour.

Skol!

I have great pleasure in announcing some exciting new investment opportunities. My life-time experience in the banking field has led me to the clear conclusion that the tiny nation (pictured) is the ideal haven for all our precious resources. To this end I am advising my colleagues and friends to be brave and go where the big chance now beckons. And, of course, I am ever available to advise on any of these matters.
