Just filtered that abusive idiot!!!!
Knigel, Showjumper is not a troll and if you cannot be more constructive in your purile comments, then don't bother commenting at all!
Hello Showjumper, I would have sold half but unable to. Too late now, so I have to hang on. Even though it is still going down, I do believe with TSG able to communicate constructively there may be a chance for this company. To be honest, I do think at this price it is worth a small flutter for you, but I personaly am not prepared to put anymore of my hard earned savings in it until the company gets rid of DC. Lovely to hear from you again and that Blaze is fully recovered.
Btw the junk share? So you admit you purchased a junk share? DIY before investing - obvious troll
Who is daft enough to spend time monitoring an investment they have sold!!! Letting emotion effect your judgment suggests investing isn’t for you - stick to horses

Plus the shares are being converted at 3p !!!
I'm not really sure you deserve a reply but I am working on behalf of ALL shareholders and as I have said before, I have a significant vested interest to ensure we are represented.
If you feel the current BoD are taking too many shares for their services, you could have easily attended the AGM and voiced your concern. The fact is, I was the only shareholder that even bothered to turn up.
TSG - How many shares are you being paid for doing the job, or are you the only person they could get to work for free, while I read the directors are still drawing eye watering sums in shares and milking this cow dry repreatedly.
SDY up today Hugh.
"The facts are the sp will ve significantly higher in a few months"
It's peculiar, considering not long ago the projection was a 10p share price around this time. Yet, in a few months (by Christmas), the forecast is 30p. It seems your predictive skills are not quite on point. With the approach of 30th June, it's becoming questionable if a repeat of last year is on the horizon.
Knco AKA Tintin200 as we all kow is a clown. Don't know what that idiot is saying because I filtered him months ago. Just a shame LVCG cannot get the idiot removed as he is just a distraction.
TSG nice to see some communication coming through. Let's hope that with you on board, this does not continue to decline.
Showjumper, lovely to hear from you again. Keep in touch :-)

It’s the amount of due diligence that worries me! If you look at the history, debt, poor payment record and performance you would run a country mile. They are all disasters!
The amount of due diligence (from all parties) makes me believe the cornerstone investor(s) will be very different to Jason Lee. Obviously I cannot divulge any details and I am not involved in detailed discussions, but IF it comes to fruition it is likely to herald a very different company going forward.
TSG will the accounts be signed off in time. I asssume this has to happen for the cornerstone investor to sign.
Will the cornerstone investor differ to Jason Lee is the other point

Concur 100% Bennster.
Has anybody heard that before?
I won't disrespect your position TSG - your posts haven't been the usual ramping carp, but nonetheless it's wearing thin for those of us who have a massive loss here at a pathetic 0.55p a share. There is only so far the "just over the next hill" comments can stretch. In any PLC terms, the performance of this shambolic company and it's disgraceful CEO and Chairman are truly dreadful.
There is not substitute for a private company actually returning a profit to its investors and that is absolutely missing from this shower.
Years can pass but David Ciclitira has only taken, taken and taken some more. We need more than rumours and hype. Give us SOLID RETURNS. How can any right minded human not look at the share price, the RNS stream and the total lack of profit and NOT question this company.
The AIM is a graveyard, nobody seems to make anything and this mess is a classic example of why.
All will become clearer in the next day or so
1. Bricklive performance is poor. No reasons given to explain this. Old sets? New competitors? Depleted sales team? Any plan buying “hope” to improve things?
2. What happened to the K-Pop event in Frankfurt? We assume it’s not happening but what are the costs of cancellation?
3. Good that we are no longer saddled with the full 100% of StartArt but what the minority stake? Has that just fizzled into irrelevance? Just goes what a con that sale by Ciclitera really was.
4. Independent directors are not independent and they are useless. They are mates of Ciclitera and complicit in the decline of the company and the unethical business decisions. Why can’t the shareholder representative sit on the board?

Yep this is what peeps don’t understand. Guys last day to buy more today… next week sp will be higher imo. Last chance guys
I realise I might well now sound like a broken record but there was a "good" reason for no update this week.
Expect news to start flowing next week.
Apologies if anyone thinks this is a ramp; it's not but all will become a little clearer very soon.
DC might be well aware shareholders want an update ......but he doesnt care about shareholders so why would he worry about it?
Well just a few hours for this to be “an interesting week” rather than another zlitch week - at least DC is well aware shareholders are asking for an update…

Only a fortnight away from finding out if we are to repeat last year's debacle.
Simple, at least with no news we are not suspended or delisted. It is when news happens that is going to make me poop my pants.
Another smashing day with lots of news and buys galore. Won't be long now before we hit 10p
Shame about the sells that more than offset it.
Nice buy this morning more off the same would be good.

Hugh it sounds llike I saved a little bit of my skin, selling when I did. Fraction up opn SDY so I am a bit more positve. This DC and Sarah really sound like a bunch of smutts from what I have read over the last weeks.
I hope you get lucky Hugh, how much out of pocket wil you be if you manage to sell all at what you were offered today,
BeastlyD, I tried selling 200,000 of my shares and could not. I then put in the full total of my holding and received a quote but at a heavily discounted price. Wish I new what was going on but seems obvious the MMs are not interested in this share despite what other optimistic shareholders think. This is going down the drain again!
Still can't sell, so basically we're under a unenforced suspension. Also still no response from Sarah.
At what point does the blind optimism fade and people start asking serious questions? We're well overdue an update. Sunk Cost Fallacy springs to mind.
Very sadly I too had faith in this Company at one time, and what DC had in prospect. I originally bought in at over 70p and really believed… my judgement was sadly misplaced and I lost quite a lot on this punt . My investment and belief was based before all the placements and seemingly failed projects.
Anyone who still has faith then good luck to them - but it will take more than one event, show , race etc to put things right and with continuity of those events etc with tangible evidence of that not just baseless hopes.
I don’t forget the Company started with lego models - and an educational theme around those models (all B.S. of course) -
Now shareholders are hanging on news (one show, adult electric car race or host of dinosaur models won’t save this imo) when maybe they should just realise that this really has little merit and perhaps should just write it off in their portfolio as potentially dead? - save the worry and highs and lows at least.
Leave DC to sort his own mess out without sucking in others to keep his dreams and lifestyle afloat!
Thrilling the news innit. Can't wait to see the audited accounts in a couple of weeks. At least we will be 10p in a fortnight.

The average return per KPOP concert arranged is deeply negative.
Good job Startart brought home the bacon.... oops.
Never mind South Africa formula E will make us a fortune ... oh that's not on either...
Ah well at least we haven't farmed out half of bricklive to an ex employee.....
That cornerstone investor must be chomping at the bit.
Knigel do you actually think he would tell us. Not a chance, he's like a little boy who only responds when events go for him. Otherwise denada unless instructed to do so ( nomads)
"Still holding out for 2 kPop concerts before Christmas. 😂"
Be careful what you wish for or you may get a repeat performance of Frankfurt (car park) and London (tube station toilets)
Maybe they were doing u a favour by not letting u sell .news has to be soon . Still holding out for 2 kPop concerts before Christmas. 😂
Knigel, it was my intention to sell some of my holding so that I would not lose everything if this company goes under but at the same time keeping some in case it reincarnates. It is called prudence.
Seems obvious to me that the MMs have no faith in this company, otherwise they would allow unrestricted buying and selling.

Please note god with small g, although he thinks he is greater.
DAVID CICLITIRA you have ruined and disolved 20 companies. You are ruining this one through non commuication. This company does not have a cornerstone investor at the moment and share holders are not able to get out before this becomes another of your disolved companies. What are you going to do to save this company? Non communication is not an answer.
Do you think this piece of trash will respond? No way.

Surely they have a fiduciary duty to rns the auditor situation???
It’s like Deja vu with last year
But this end of the month is important for the company dasalus, Christmas not so much, especially if you're looking for a bumper one lol
Simple, the end of the month may getting closer after all today is the 7th and yesterday was the 6th. But so is Xmas and I'm hoping for a bumper one
You might be onto something, Sue. Sarah could enjoy riling up certain shareholders. However, considering the company's history over the past year, it seems the entire Board of Directors takes pleasure in agitating every shareholder, supplier, investor and consumer alike. With the end of the month getting closer and no news in sight, we may be facing yet another repeat performance. Something for you to look forward to eh!
Maybe Sarah enjoys winding up certain SHs, 🤣

We're all clutching at straws because the company gives us nothing to go on but Sarah told me the account were 'nearly there' in September last year, so I know she is put in a position by SHs asking questions, but the replies really are not worth reading anything in to imo.
Also not sure how they could promote the bricklive tours more to the wider population. not worried yet.
Seems Sarah is left to take the flack while DC spends the profits. Good or bad news let's have it if it's bricklive that is going to get us to next year so be it just be honest. For once 😂. Good luck showjumper on future investments .Also not sure how they c
I asked Sarah if there was going to be good news in the coming days or is David still massaging the figures. Sarah has replied that "Hopefully we are nearly there".
I replied "When you say nearly there does that mean GOOD going forward?"
Have not had a reply to that yet , but maybe it was after hours and will communicate any reply that I receive.
What is absolutely certain is that Knco is just a ramper and of no consequence. Even Sarah has told me that Knco is an irritation and nothing more.

Showjumper, with miss your contributions. Good luck with FAB and a big NEIGH for Blaze :-)
Thanks Hugh I just sold the 175000 I bought and took around 400 hundred pound loss but I saw a good RNS the other week from FAB so I t think I will try that to see if I can recover my loss from here.
Good Luck to those still holding but now it is bound to rise and I can kick myself again.
Still Blaze is great and I am able to ride.
Showjumper, there are a lot more of us more stupid than you for our sins.
Showjumper u have only been in a short time I have some off they's shares at £0.48p lol . If u want make money stick it in the bank 😂 .this share has had a hard ride.ur banter is good though enjoy this will come good .I hope 😂
Tired of waiting but near to pressing the sell button and hoping I don't wait to long and see it drop. Will I won't I is what I keep saying to myself. Stupid stupid me.

Showing now a buy of over 400,000 last chance this week before the jumps go up, Blaze knows best - Hurry times running out.
I cleaned the stables and thought I would see if things have improved today because Blaze told me that she is ready to jump with this share, next week, so a good time to buy if you like it coming from the horses mouth.
Blue is for BUY - Big Buy
I am aware of that Simple ......but it's an excellent paper trail for future reference.
Not sure why you're bothering to email Euston, as you're given a fresh excuse each time and on each occasion the answer contradicts the previous.

Well, due diligence due to be completed by Friday. In my experience, due diligence is not normally completed at the very last minute, but days ahead of schedule so that final negotiations can take place.
The RNS apparently has been waiting sign off for almost 2 weeks. What does that tell us?
Do not expect to hear anything before next week. Once more, DC is screwing this share with his non communication.
Get rid of DC and give this company a fighting chance of success.
School holidays are irrelevant to investments, particularly in an era of widespread smartphone use and internet access.
Its half term so a lot of people are away. For maximum impact they should hold news until Monday IM.
InvestPest - Probably didn't want to accept shares in lieu of payment, as that appears to Live companies preferred method of paying bills.
Is everyone on holiday, as I cannot see any trades?
Blaze wants to see jumps up, so do I, so we can go round the course .

Thanks Hugh. I schooled Blaze over a few very small jumps over the weekend and all is sound I am please to say.
Where is this news/RNS Euston spoke of?
At least it is up and my 1p is not to far away now, so fingers crossed.
Showjumper, Knco AKA Tintin200 has been predicting 20p / 30p for the last year and a half. He is a constant ramper that does not have a clue. Can't get his posts because I filtered the idiot a year ago and have no wish to continue to see his rubbish ramping.
However, Blaze can ramp all she likes and I will believe something straight from the horses mouth. Come on Blaze, blaze the trail for this share and good to hear you are recovering well :-).
Knco, I just want my cash back with a little profit after all I have read on here about this DC chap. So 1p will do me and I will find a better less risky investment but if you get 10p it will be a time for you to open a bottle of Champers.
Great to see it up 21% though, another 25% will do me nicely but I must say if Blaze says to hang on for a bit more I might sell half of what I bought and keep the rest and dream.
Well, if one is to fall Euston I hope it doesn't after hours today. Looking at previous rns's I suspect it will land next Friday.
Simple..... I dont know how this stands , but Sarah has replied to my second email asking where the RNS is. She says it's with the NOMAD . Maybe just maybe an RNS next Tuesday?

Day before yesterday up over 18% on no news or is there positive rumour / inside trading knowledge?
Yesterday down over 10% because of auditor resignation. That would be expected.
Today up over 4.5% when you would expect a further slide unless good news is pending.
Definately something going on, let's hope it is all positive.

However sue you pay peanuts you get monkeys. The top 10 auditor clearly had higher standards
I have no issues changing accountants, if the reasons are too slow and expensive, however, I totally agree we need some reassurance that accounts will be submitted/published in time.
I spoke to Blaze again and she told me not to be so jumpy and there is nothing to worry about, a few jumps fell but it will soon be underway and everyone will be jumping higher fences very soon.
Straight from the horses mouth, so BUY BUY BUY, not Bye Bye.
"Nothing to worry about, just auditors replaced"
This seems to echo last year's situation when we were suspended because the new auditors required additional time to familiarise themselves with our accounts and failed to release them promptly. It is crucial to remember that our accounts must be published by the 30th of June 2024, in accordance with the AIM listing rules, to avoid a recurrence of last year's fiasco.
