Expanding globally. No figures, no graph. We like the sound of Pixology and fancy a punt on a brand new company. After a vote we decided to put £500 in as a dodgy pot, and put £1000 into one of the other 4 when the subs come in. We voted on Scottish Radio Holdings, Tesco, Topps Tiles, Severn Trent.
