Hi Prof,
Thank you for letting me know, it is most considerate and very decent of you to do so .
Possibly I have made a fool of myself then, Oh well I don't suppose it will be the last time, one lives and one learns in life!
Best Wishes
Tibbs
Tibbs,
I could be wrong but I think Tonstril may be pulling your leg and certainly about his age. In his post of 04 Dec 2018 her referred to his mother as being very much with us so I suspect he may not be quite as old as the last posts suggest:
'I have been in this stock for close to 20 years, owes me A$0.235 per share (I have 460k & my mum has 150k) you get severe ups & downs but they now pay a nice dividend & as long as you are patient you will be rewarded!'
Best wishes to all,
Prof
Tonstril,
Indeed you are a remarkable couple!
I didn't write the piece I just pasted the article it was, I certainly meant no disrespect to either you or your good lady wife!
Please accept my sincere apologies if I have caused any offence.
I hope you continue posting lots more!
No need to get so mad & insult my wife who happens to be Chinese but only 5 years younger than me, she has still made 100 and I doubt if too many of you have done the same, you panic over nothing & don’t know you are born, a world war or two will change your mind, I will die soon anyway so don’t care, would just like my third card from Queenie, I find them special :)

Even in today’s climate, hereditary peer by-elections are among the more absurd aspects of British politics. Following the retirement of the Earl of Selborne from the House of Lords after almost 50 years in office, another one of these elections is now due.
However, joining the Olympics, the Premier League and Glastonbury festival, this is set to be postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. After a debate in parliament this week, this was agreed until 8th September, just over six months away, with the bill receiving almost unanimous support in the Lords.
If we can afford to delay this hereditary by-election for six months, why not make it permanent? While a by-election may sound like it makes the House of Lords slightly more representative and democratic than the male, pale and stale establishment it currently is, only hereditary peers (totally around 216 on the current Register) are allowed to vote.
In the last by-election, only 28 votes were cast for a peer now eligible to sit in the House of Lords for the rest of his life and claim up to £323 a day for doing so. This compares to an average House of Commons by-election which sees over 1000 times that at 28,825.
Just like their by-elections, hereditary peers are a testament to the House of Lords being a private members’ club for an elite few. Removing these by-elections would be the first step in a list of reforms desperately needed to be made by the House of Lords.
Second only to China as the world’s largest legislative body, the House of Lords as it stands is an outdated, unelected institution that is totally unrepresentative of modern British society. It is time that these bizarre, undemocratic by-elections were finally postponed for good. There is something fundamentally wrong with a chamber making laws that affect voters’ lives when many members who sit in it do so on the basis of conspicuous wealth, elected in by their equally wealthy chums.
As shown by events this week, hereditary peer by-elections are neither an essential nor indeed desirable element of British politics. This global pandemic has resulted in unprecedented times for the government and its people; it is now time for this to extend to reforms of the House of Lords.
