“Banana Manologues” serves up comedy with a side of romance and raunch. John Brennan returns to Chucktown to reprise his role as Gus Weiderman, everyday guy who navigates love and libido’s strange waters. And this time, he’s not alone.
Brennan reworked his original “Banana Monologues” to include Alexis, Weiderman’s sometime long distance girlfriend and sometime sexual frustration, played deftly by fellow The Have Nots! Comedy Improv Touring Company veteran, Camille Lowman. “Banana Manologues” is a must-see if you’re in the mood for the emotional equivalent of a feel-good lighthearted comedy.
In just about an hour, Brennan and Lowman deftly zip through each stage of a relationship: bumbling first forays, romantic highs, niggling doubts and awkward break-up, eliciting knowing nods and ringing laughter from an audience that has obviously been there and done that as well. (Who can’t relate, right?)
Frequent interjections by Sgt. Johnson (Weiderman’s metaphorical banana) and Darcy (Alexis’ “best guy friend” and “dance instructor”) also push the plot along nicely and only add to the entertainment.
Despite its title, “Banana Manologues” is not as crass as you would think. Brennan and Lowman keep the comic fare free from cheap shots and rely instead on their solid script, rapport and showmanship.
Brennan and Lowman also have another ace up their sleeve—their sound. Taking inspiration from the era of shoulder pads and fingerless gloves, “Banana Manologues” revists classics from the 80s, drawing most heavily from most every girl’s secret fantasy movie, “Dirty Dancing.” The action skids abruptly to a stop as the show wraps up unexpectedly, but that can easily be forgiven.
Nostalgia and whiplash aside, “Banana Manologues” puts a new twist to the eternal tug of war between a man’s (erstwhile) mate and his machismo.
See it for the last time tonight at the American Theater, 8 p.m.

Financial spread betting is a leveraged tool that gives investors the opportunity to trade the financial markets without ever taking physical ownership of the underlying instrument. This means that the trader/investor can speculate in the direction of any financial instrument, whether it is specific shares, currencies, commodities or indices without ever owning them. In the financial markets there are standard contract sizes. For example for the FTSE 100 index contract the standard market size is £10. With financial spread betting the investor nominates his own stake size, for example £2 per point. The bet is settled as the difference between the purchase and the sell price.Financial Spreads is appealing to ever greater numbers of investors for several reasons, not least of which is the absence of capital gains tax on profits (unlike conventional share trading, where CGT applies to trading gains in many countries), and the lack of stamp duty on transactions (most interesting in the UK; strictly speaking, the transaction is a bet, rather than an investment - hence the name.) However, by its very nature financial spread betting is more risky than traditional, fixed odds betting, or conventional traditional share trading, where participants are usually a little more protected. If you judge wrong, you are likely to lose a great deal in the absence of a stop loss and any losses made on a spread bet cannot be offset against capital gains on ordinary investments.The costs associated with financial spread betting are included in the spread (the difference between the bid and the offer price). Therefore the wider the spread, the more you pay to trade. So when considering a company to spread bet always compare the spread. The good news about the spreads is that these are generally getting tighter due to increased competition and explosive growth as investors are beginning to realise the advantages of financial spread betting; thus making the system more efficient.

It is easier to explain financial spread betting by example.On any given day you can find out on the web or by placing a call to a spread betting firm to find the “spread” on the FTSE 100. They will give a spread such 6350-6500 (6500 to place a “buy” or “up” bet and 6350 for a “sell” or “down” bet).If you believe that the FTSE 100 will rise, you then place an “up” bet. You would bet a certain amount per point. For example you could bet £10 sterling per point. If the FTSE 100 rose to 6700 within the period specified by the betting firm (usually one trading day) this would be a raise of 200 points. This would mean that you would earn £10 x 200 points which would mean a net profit of £2,000 sterling.If you were to feel that the market was going to fall then you would place a “down” bet. If we use the same example of £10 per point if the FTSE were to fall to 6200 which would be a fall of 150 points your profit would be £10 x 150 points which equates to a £1,500 sterling net profit. If the FTSE 100 were to rise however to 6500 you would lose £1,500 pounds.Financial spread betting offers an easy way for individuals to bet on the movement of the market. Financial spread betting now opens the way for individual people to use the market other than through selling short in or investing in a hedge fund. It is more immediate and the potential profits are huge.

That is understandable that cash can make us autonomous. But how to act if one does not have money? The only one way is to try to get the personal loans and commercial loan.
