Hi Mr Tibbles
Someone gave me the Detectorists Boxset as a present. A fantastic programme and I loved the music - although not Lance and Andy's effort in the pub with 'New Age Girl'. I liked the Triumph TR7 as well. I've seen Ghosts on Iplayer. I am watching Butterflies on DVD at the moment - I remember it from when I was about 12 and It's still pretty good compared to most things on TV today.
There are so many different kinds of birds where I live - some I never knew existed (Treecreepers). The Song Thrushes sing first thing in the morning and last thing at night before their bedtime. There is a Rookery right next to me - they make so much noise that they always get me up early in the spring and summer months. The pigeons have a bad habit of ripping off the blossom and new leaves on the cherry and plum trees. It's impossible for me to net the trees so I just hope they get fed up with the habit before they do too much damage. They never touch apples or pears, which is a good thing because I do.
Hi RedSparrow,
Just been out and replenished the insect feast fat blocks for the pair of Black Birds, Robins, Blue tits and Dunnocks living in the garden hedge's and tree's.
Also have a pair of Collard Doves and some Wood pigeons that visit each day for the loaf of bread and bird seed feast!
We have turned the front lawn over to wild flowers and other plants that attract bees, butterflies and insects, very satisfying to watch the results.

Nostalgic theme
Talking Pictures
Alfred Burke in a very popular series broadcast between 1965 and 1975 about shabby down at heel private detective called Frank Marker.

Also on Talking Picture TV Enemy at the door
From a time when British television period and costume drama was of a consistently high standard, Enemy at the Door, by London Weekend Television, is a real standout.
The casting is as perfect as could be. It's also very cleverly written, and acted, in that the German occupiers often seem more likeable than many of the islanders, particularly the Commandant, Richter, played superbly by Alfred Burke. The relationship between Richter and the local doctor, Martel (Bernard Horsfall) is exquisitely crafted, demonstrating the tensions arising from being enemies by circumstance, harbouring a mutual liking and respect without showing it too much, and having to oversee a functioning community in impossible circumstances.

I agree Aolfie .
If a post is obnoxious or in bad language the offended can report. It is scrutinised and works.
Otherwise filter, or fume and bare it.
I get sick at times with trivia , but ignore it.

On topic ,this coming few months should prove interesting for all.
Everyone will forget the quarantine restrictions and inevitable boredom, and look forward to a brighter future.

Mr Zambian,
Everyone should be entitled to express their opinion and to make their choice's, only time will tell if the outcome is for the better or worse, right or wrong and then what if anything is learnt from the experience.
In the meantime whatever anyone's opinion the present situation won't last forever, time will move on and change will inevitably happen as the reality and dissatisfaction with the present kicks in causing the pendulum of public opinion to swing the other way.
The pandemic has diverted the public's attention from the realisation that the UK has been taken back 50 years to an era that really was never was as good as some may like to remember, whist the rest of the world has changed and moved on 50 years and more in so many ways.
Hi Mr Tibbles
I very much appreciate your posts too and indeed everyone who posts on this board. I think it is one of the best boards and one of only two I feel comfortable posting on - the other being Rockhopper.
I think this board has shown me how much I don't know about so many things. There are philosophers, mining experts, financial analysts, Bitcoin/crytocurrency gurus, economists, bacteriologists, doctors, political experts, classic car fanatics and Liverpool fans, to name but a few. Oh, and there are the wise. All concentrated in this one place. Thank you Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
However, the thing I really like best of all is that, no matter what things are said in a careless moment to upset us, we are all able to forgive one another. To me, a person who can take the slings and arrows and forgive those that threw them, is pure class. That is why I think all the people who post on this board, are first class. Long may they continue to be so.
By the way, I have finished watching Black Books. Thanks so much for telling me about it. It's just my kind of humour. A real gem.
Thanks to you both for replying... Confirms my guessdamation is near enough.
Cheers
Hi RazorsEdge,
and according to my II account, we should get 2.16p per share.
15 June 21
I believe the current payment is 3c per share, if this is correct wouldn’t it be fair to assume that the currency exchange should work out at approximately 2p per share in Stirling.
Anyone know the date the payment is due?
Thanks for any reply.
Mr Tibbles, your bitterness continues to shine. Sorry off topic.
Hi Red Sparrow,
Irrelevant of subject matter, I always greatly appreciate your posts on this forum, in my view your observations and opinions on bitcoin didn't sound at all sarcastic, although your honesty and admitted realisation’s regarding possibly one of the biggest pyramid or "Ponzi" penny share schemes of the decade won't be popular with some.
As already stated it is unwise to regard bitcoin as an investment, but instead as a bit of a flutter, I suppose possibly just like online bingo, etc, but offering the chance of considerably more reward or loss, although at far greater risk!
Unfortunately the present intolerance of differing opinion that prevails across our country and brought about by the present governments rhetoric and innuendo has caused a severe infection of tunnel vision resulting in a bigoted herd mentality of the masses causing a severe reluctance, even an outright aggressive refusal to even consider the possibility of error of judgment or any possibly being wrong!
Not to go along with this attitude will result in being accused of, being unpatriotic, a lefty a remoaner and then there is the “Oh I don’t talk about my politics” or “This isn’t the place for it”
Rubbish, shear unadulterated rubbish, these are the statement’s of those who haven’t got the courage of their convictions, or is even embarrassed to admit them, anyone that voted for or against, or not at all, should be prepared to admit how they voted or their opinion, but then not be vilified or castigated for having the honesty to do so .
The alternative is a loss of democratic free speech and a win for the bullies, the bigots and the ill informed which is what has happened in our country and to some extent on this forum!
I agree with you opinion, indeed I know far more people who have lost considerable amounts of money on bitcoin; I can count those that claim to have done well on the fingers of one hand!
Despite recent events in the markets it seems that Bitcoin may well be still be around in one form or another for the future.
But whilst Bitcoin has been rising to unprecedented values investors should consider the why the world’s central banks have been amassing bullion on the cheap and why the BIS & central banks after so many years of resistance have now decided to fully adopt Basel 3 requirements?
Consider then if governments & central banks see the curtailing of the Comex paper PM markets by the implementation of Basel 3 an opportunity to stimulate the value of their gold bullion stocks and also a provide a means to bring about some greater central bank influence or even curtail interest in bitcoin.
If Elon Musk who is able to influence the bitcoin market could be brought onside with the establishment, although most probably not by the offer of more monetary wealth, but possibly by something which would appeal to Elon’s great ego, such as the kudos of being in charge of some governmental high tech space project, this may prove to be irresistible!
Quite so Rebess,
Thank you for posting, and indeed Kinesis as you are aware is all part of this monetary revolution!
I am surprised more govts. and financial institutions have not come in here, maybe they have not yet worked it out that the income from divi's and share growth over the next year is expected to be far greater than any bond at the moment.
We are well on the way to a recover here up to the £2 a share level once again, and I am staying put. In fact on every years tax return I am surprised with how much I have earned from Centamin on divis alone. Certainly more than any UK Bank account is going to pay in interest. Like most others would feel Income Tax is the biggest drain on my holding but in some ways I am pleased to be contributing and doing my bit for the UK Economy. Good share this one.
Interesting article Mr Bond. - Thank you for posting.
I would be inclined to agree, with your friend.
The same as many think DPRC understates their physical holdings, along with many Asian countries.
A need to know basis.
But then the US stated reserves can be taken with a pinch of salt, secrecy for a reason ,maybe.
Keeping confidence in the current Reserve Currency,
Imagine if the truth came out, the US reserves were purely like paper paper PMs.
A sham.
Draw your own conclusions, subterfuge ?
Quite so Mr Bond,
This is confirmation of what a precious metals trader friend has been stating for some time, although they felt that the figure stated here isn't up to date or very conservative to say the least for some reason.
Thought this might be of interest for weekend reading and crypto education.

What is good for Gold is good for us ,in Centamin.
I'm glad I didn't buy any bitcoins recently even though I really must have a very small dabble into the crypto space at some time in the future to learn the technology.
I sincerely don't mean to sound sarcastic when I say it just goes to show how some 'off topic' posts on here can be of tremendous value. When I started reading the Centamin board, very little was mentioned about cryptocurrencies. However, as the price of Bitcoin has risen, so the posts promoting its worth have become more frequent on this board and it has been a very good indicator to signaling some form of top, albeit possibly only a temporary one. I can't even predict the price of gold or Centamin, so I'm not even going to try it on Bitcoin.
The question now, as some people have posted recently, is whether some of that enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies will now transfer to precious metals?
I'm pleased I hold Centamin shares and gold. So many investors are still very bearish on both and I feel that's a good signal for me to slowly accumulate both when the opportunity arises. Buying gold gives me a sense of distancing myself from all the nonsense in the world.
It's another rainy Sunday - where have all the flowers gone?
Hi Mr Gnome,
I am sure that most of us share holders agree with you, certainly Cowichan and it would seem Martin Horgan, he certainly seems to want some financial justification and return on Pardey's never ending drilling spree!
If Pardey had remained in post then the Centamin West African areas would have ended with more holes than a Swiss cheese and Sukari would have imploded under a pile of waste and clapped out plant (LHDR etc) whilst the cash reserves went down the lavatory, although Capital may have got plenty of work before Centamin got bought out for few pence by Endeavour!
Give Pardey his due though though he excelled at producing meaningless colored charts, unfulfilled promises ,unexpected low grade ore, ever more inventive excuses and was undeniably highly skilled, in fact a master in the art of kicking the can down the road !
Considering his dubious talents if Pardey fancied a change of career direction I have no doubt that Boris Johnson would find him a place in the UK cabinet to work on a new trade deal over the next decade or so!
The BeerStalker
With an average Centamin share price of 125p, you've got a lot to look forward to over the coming years.
The most I've paid for Centamin was around the 160p mark - in 2018. In early 2019, I read a Martin Armstrong article on his blog - I've provided the link. It was suggesting that Centamin was about to have a 'waterfall' event, which freaked me out, I can tell you. So I sold the majority of my holding for about 145p - a profit overall (just) and kept a small core holding bought years before. Well, as we know, Centamin rose much higher and I didn't think much about MA's prediction. Then we had that waterfall event and I was glad I missed it all (except I kept the small core holding which obviously took the hit).
Armstrong claimed his AI computer program predicted the fall, but he knows the gold mining industry so well I'm sure he, and many other, knew the goings-on with Centamin and were bailing before it became public knowledge.
Anyway, that's all in the past and I'm sure there is an exciting future - for the right reasons.

An interesting comparison although the metallurgy ips significantly different. the economics of Batie will be driven by the POG and the cost of energy...plus any smart met.
I remain intrigued as to how CEY can do so much drilling and NOT PRODUCE A RESOURCE UPGRADE. There are interesting laws about continuous disclosure and ethical questions about Owners Rights to be informed. I await with a great deal of interest and am relieved the last pack of management were sent packing. Nowhere near good enough in my humble opinion
Best
The Gnome
Why would that be?
If you have some thoughts why please kindly share.
Can’t remember exactly when I bought my first tranche of CEY shares - sometime last summer at 164; have since averaged down. Initially, I jumped on board following temporary closure of part of Sukari mine due to instability (rectifiable), and a decent share buy-in by directors. Average price for me is now 125. Looking forward to watching this go back into profit shortly, and push on from there, which I believe it will do. It is my biggest share holding, and I’m pretty comfortable with that. GLA - have a good weekend.
