Now the Riksdag's back I wonder if we'll see the buying on Wednesday and selling on Friday pattern again. The message that a decision would be sent outside trading hours seems in hindsight to have been another little ruse by the Minister. a scrap to keep the wolves at bay, and it worked for a while, the sp started to move up and we believed.
Eric i was a BMR holder aswell.... hoping this little company can balance the books for me

With the high cost of beer over there, I doubt it, unless they smuggle it in from neighbouring Carlsberg country on the backs of the reindeer herds.
Are you still with us? For those who don't know, he promised to make us his Sun Downer specials when we go to Jokkmokk for the opening; he hasn't posted for a long time, might have taken offence at the robustness of the debate on this board. I'm a vegetarian but on such an occasion I might overlook the reindeer sausage garnish..hope he's still with us.
Properjob's a bit strong for me 3-card, I prefer Doombar....we'll take a few crates with us. I wonder if the Swedes are big drinkers like the Norweigans.
You can have my champagne Suzy. I'll have a pint of Proper Job
It has apricots, figs, cranberries and prunes as well as the usual vine fruits..if you don't like fruit cake much you might like this one, it's not too sweet.
What about traditional birthday cake, with fruit...I make Nigel Slater's, it keeps a long time if you drown in in brandy, we could eat it in Jokkmokk with champagne.
Well said Eric ,I’ve come home to several interesting posts today ,this is much better, good luck and take care,
Eric re Borrelli.
Very succinctly summarised if I may say so. And not forgetting the debacle at Metal Tiger where he almost shafted shareholders with a low ball T/O offer by BMR, following which he was ousted from MTR a few days later.
Eat fruit instead!
Dorset apple cake's pretty good...and the apples are perfect now...trouble is they're too fattening, I try to forget cake.
Much the same as my other half's...mine's caraway seed cake, goes very well with champagne (so I'm told). :-)
After all that Sooz, better lob in a worm cake as well. Just to be on the safe side like.
Howl.
Carrot cake is my favourite, then chocolate cake, then ginger. While you're at it, better throw in a hot sticky toffee pudding and ice cream. Lol.
:-)
Hi Alamal. Nothing is funny about Borrelli. His performance at BMR (and he's still there) has been, in my opinion, catastrophic. He managed to take a promising Company with valuable assets and destroy it beyond repair. His numerous ineptitudes also saw that, some two years ago now, the Company failed to follow AIM rules and was duly delisted. Since then he has brought shareholders nothing yet at all, by way of any deal to raise us from the dead, and we remain cryogenically frozen without a trading platform.
The other point is, there remains the question as to whether BMR's demise was purposefully effected by him, or if Borrelli is just really genuinely so bloody useless. We just don't know, but what I feel about that I'll keep to myself. The sad part and the almost unbelievable thing, is that he appears to think he's done a great job! All in the intrerest of existing shareholders. Lol.
Al, if I didn't fake laugh, I'd cry. 3card and I are BMR shareholders with every penny invested now written off.
Borrelli has proven himself to be a liability, a dangerous operator, irresponsible with other people's money yet somehow all the while unaccountable for his actions, and I would not invest in any company ever again with which he is involved, no matter how fantastic the initial prospect looks. It's that simple.
Best regards.
What's your favourite?
Shocking indeed Sooz. I'm not sure what, if anything, Kurt will do about it. Looks like another birthday for me without the decision.
Same old cake then. Lol. x
I imagine she's been quiet for a while because she had her second child last year.
So...it's much, much worse, it's so shocking that it's difficult to get a handle on it. :-(
Of course I've got that wrong haven't I....he said that in the campaign of 2014, not 218 when they had to marry the Greens to form a government.
During the election campaign in 2014 during a visit to the North, Stefan Lofven was reported as having replied to a question about the mining application that it would be decided according to the law not politics. We were of course absolutely delighted to hear that. Either he was disembling or he didn't know he would have to handle a coalition with the Green Party, albeit a party who only just scraped enough votes qualify them for seats in the Riksdag (4.1%)
From what I remember and we're having to trawl back a long way, Annie Loof was the Minister responsible when our application was submitted to the MI (at least towards the end if not at the beginning in the Reinnfelt Cabinet) so it was already long over due when the Centre government were ousted by Big Stef at the end of 2014; she also presided over a review of the Mining Strategy Document which initiative had absolutely no effect whatsoever. She's not a person to tow the line and it must be a step forward not having a Green deputy prime minister...she was the main mover and shaker in the coalition I think and her party only polled 8.61% compared to the Moderat's 19.84% Remember Mr Reinfelt: "Iron is to Sweden what oil is to Norway.
Thanks for the news Pocko.
