Nice post Numpty, you are boss for me
reteps, thank you for that, I am actually quite humbled.
I do like to think my (generally) a bit drunken rambles are always for the most part interspersed with factual comment and inference that are all designed to promote the Company in a positive way. As opposed to just comedy. Which is an assumption in itself. But judging from the rec's and comments, without blowing my own trumpet, I think I do get it right on occasion. Sometimes comedy can get people to understand/think about/agree with- far more than any amount of facts or analysis. We get plenty of that on here from some truly wonderful posters happy to share their knowledge, analysis, expertise and connections and I am truly (as I am sure you and lots of others are) and eternally grateful. Unfortunately I have nothing to offer in those departments so in my own humble way I do what I do in the hope of entertainment and hopefully informing the uninformed in a way they may pay attention too.
It's not just comedy.
I am in a not too dissimilar position from yourself. Here since Oct 2013. In debt to Corbs. 58 years old and hoping (and I can't lie, fully expecting) that BMN will allow me to retire early. I only hold 210,820 but also have a bit of property and stuff and a pretty well paid job so fingers crossed for both of us my friend. I didn't actually realise I featured on anybody's radar.

Time for an update from me. I am six weeks into a new job, very rewarding in all the right ways :-) I am back on the tools with computers and working as Test Lead on a fairly large contract for a department of the Government of the Irish Republic that will last until December 2021. By that time, I will be three months away from my 66th birthday and hopefully the Bushy SP will mean that I can stop work before I draw the State Pension. My health seems to be stable (fingers firmly crossed!)
I have been invested in BMN since around October 2013, thanks to Pdub (I think) who dropped a hint on another board and, of course, Corbs of blessed memory. I currently hold about 1,400,00 shares in SIPP and ISA, down from a high of about 1.6M. I wouldn't have sold any but personal circumstances (three kids who are permanently boracic and ill health plus a minimum wage job) have meant that I have had to prop myself up over the past year. I'll get round to updating the spreadsheet one of these days.
I love the banter on the board on occasion and am especially fond of numpty5's contributions :-) I'd try to emulate them but fairly sure I'd fail.
I'll leave you with a joke that I think Corbs would have liked:
A young matelot was drinking in a Carribean shebeen when he espied Long John Silver, no less. In an access of adulation, he accosted the great man and offered to buy him a drink. LJS accepted and the two fell into conversation.
"Tell me, Sir, how did you come to loose your leg?"
"Arrr, well, 'twas a boarding party agin' the Barbary corsairs. I took a cutlass blow to the thigh and the sawbones had to take the leg to save my soul."
"Pray, Sir, tell me how you came by your hook?"
"Arrr, well, 'twas the accursed Navy, they didn't appreciate private enterprise, a cutlass blow to the wrist...."
"Now, Sir, how come the eye patch?"
"Damn seagull shat in me eye!"
"A seagull?"
"Arrr, well, 'twas the day after I got me 'ook..."
All the best!

I won't be debating anything with him but felt one response would do just to point out any inconsistencies.
48 posters on this board have him filtered as they think his opinion is worthless. Join us and leave him to talk to himself...
Sorry guys, agree with you about not feeding the hairies, but if they are not challenged then they are free to misinform at will. I must admit my reposte was not great and I apologize for that guys.
All the clever posters ignore and only get that lovely green filtered message :-) Don't give air space
Unfortunately as he was ignored the pest repeated himself and was fed by a couple posters for his daily dose of attention.
Sorry expert, have to pull you up on that one, knuttie said he'd sell a few for £1.23.
You were the one who brought up 17 years and mentioned being in your 60 years and not wanting to be the richest person in the graveyard. It wasn't a big to and fro debate involving posts, just one, from you.
993444 - didn't you get the memo?!
it's winder hibernation - see you on 21st March 2020!
Never been known before....
Especially with today's positive vibes.
