Hello Fred...
I think I've joined the FB group... Is it just the obvious one, with 2500 members??
This chat is now at the "coo's tail".
Remember Hal the computer in the final scenes of "2001 a space Odyssey " ?

Hi Jock,
Just keep the money to one side and account for it. As it grows make notes and when you are close to recouping it , stick two fingers up to CF, the BoD and AAL and wish .......... well, whatever you wish upon them.
PS. With a name like that, in Scotland?
I’ve just looked in and it’s made me sad! All those hopes and dreams gone. Just wanted to say if you haven’t joined the FB group (don’t know anyone’s name so you might already have ) - it’s quite positive and we are all going to get our money back - not going to beaten by Sirius! Bit quiet there at the moment but it’s hard to focus with the virus but we’ve got lots of members. Thought I’d done my last post on here ....... But do join if you haven’t!
Hi Rosewall. I begin my ‘comeback’ tomorrow, when I take my paltry 5p/share cheque from SXX , and invest in my 20/21 ISA allowance. I fear that that sum of nearly £3k from the remaining rump of my SXX holding will take a lot longer than your time frame to recoup my losses.
But onwards, and upwards.
Good luck with your future investments.
But so far I am doing ok. I have made up between 10% - 15% of my losses from here. I have set myself a target of two years to get it back.
An Irish Girl comes back home for New Year's Eve. Her father asked, "Where have you been all this time? Why did you not write to us, not even a line? Why didn't you call?"
The girl crying replied, "Dad, I became a prostitute."
"Whaaa!!? Out of here you shameless harlot! You're a disgrace to this family."
"OK, daddy. If that's your wish. I just came back to give mum this luxurious fur coat, title deed to a ten bedroom mansion plus a savings certificate for £4 million. For me little brother, this gold Rolex and for you daddy, the sparkling new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a membership to the country club and an invitation for you all to spend a fun New Years' Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera, and..."
"Now what was it ye said you had become, again?" says dad.
Girl, crying again, "A prostitute dad!"
"Oh! You scared me half to death, girl! I thought you said a Protestant. Come here and give your old man a hug!"
Will miss you. Must say your posts were a breath of fresh air during last days of sxx demise. Perhaps will meet again on another board....may be happier times.
Take care. Be safe.
Meanwhile karma will catche up with only those who deserve it. Universe has a way of putting things right.
81lucky, no not really, just posting what my mates have been sending to each other over the years, i think tomorrow may be the last day for posting on this board, so thanks for the kind words, and look after yourself and family.
You can tell'em tuckupp. Done any standup?
At last, the long-awaited finale of the televised poem competition had arrived.
The pope, who was a keen lyricist and writer of poems, had to everyone’s surprise entered the competition. He immediately announced that he would only be reciting poems about personal spiritual experiences. Despite this limitation, it turned out he was gifted with words and he had made it all the way to the final. His opponent was the favorite to win: a Harvard linguistics professor on the top of his career and with a mind as sharp as a knife’s edge.
The Harvard professor was up first. He was informed of the rules: "Two minutes to come up with a poem, and it must involve Timbuktu." The clock started, and when the time was up the Harvard professor approached the microphone:
"On my way through desert sand
Met a lonely caravan
Men on camels, two by two
Destination: Timbuktu."
The crowd went wild. Commentators were lyrical. This was without a doubt the best poem of the competition. The Harvard professor had done it again! But as the crowd settled down their spirits sank. As far as anyone knew, the pope had never been to Timbuktu, which was soon confirmed by the TV commentator. How could the pope have a personal spiritual experience with such a word?!
The elderly pope was walked to the stage and informed of the same rules: "Two minutes to come up with a poem, and it must involve Timbuktu." The clock was started, but after only a short thought the pope stopped it. Everybody in the competition had used all the provided time, and as the pope approached the microphone a sigh went through the audience. Was he withdrawing from the competition? Would it all end in anti-climax?
No, to everybody’s surprise the pope started to recite his poem based on personal spiritual experience:
"Me and Tim to Brisbane went
Met some ladies, cheap to rent.
They were three and we were two,
So I bucked one, and 'Tim-bucked-two.'"
LTH here - it`s a sad view to see the Sirius website now with Anglo plastered all over it - but I can accept it - Your investment can go down as well as up.
I`m no expert on investment at all and I may be being a little naive but it seems to me it would be a great act of compassion if the SXX executives gave up ALL their gains from their shares either from SXX or future gains from AAL and divided them among amongst genuinely disabled investors who have become sucked into this mess.
I`m not disabled by the way.
In light of the epidemic the alternative is to donate it ALL to the local hospitals for PPE .
Failure in management in this company should not be rewarded.

Told my friend a Corona virus joke......took him two weeks to get it!
Joe gets invited to the local MENSA sports and social comedy night. Guy on the stage is shouting random numbers and the audience are in raptures. Joe asks his friend what's going on. Ah, he explains, these guys are so clever the jokes are coded, the audience uncode them and respond.
Joe gets on the stage to have a go and shouts out a number. Audience remain silent, his friend explains "it's the way to tell'em". So joe has another go with same result. Friend shouts "they've heard that one before ".
Two nuns riding a bike on a newly cobbled street. One says "have you come this way before "
The other replies "No, but sure beats the vibrator".
It's the annual charity darts match between the vicars and sisters of mercy, complete with the archbishop shouting out the scores. It's a competitive game going into the decider, the vicar throws 20, 20, 5, and the archbishops shouts the score, "45", then the sister throws, "single 20, treble 20, and the last dart hits the wire by the treble 20, rebounds and settles in the forehead of the sister, killing her outright, the archbishop immediately shouts out, "ONE NUN DEAD AND EIGHTY".
A vicar goes for a meal at a restaurant he's heard good things about. Best service he's ever had, waiter gives him the menu and he decides on steak and chips. Waiter asks how he'd like the steak and he decides on rare. Waiter goes to the hole in the wall where he shouts the order, "BLOODY STEAK AND CHIPS". and the vicar is taken aback, he calls the waiter over and explains he can't abide swearing, and the waiter reassures him that bloody steak just means a rare steak, no insult intended. The vicar accepts this, and soon after eats the best steak and chips he's ever eaten. He even gives a generous tip. A few days later the vicar is visited by his bishop, and wants to impress him, so he takes him to the same restaurant. Service turns out to be slow and the bishop is becoming agitated, so the vicar decides to make a bold move. He stands up and shouts out, "TWO BLOODY STEAKS"' whereupon the bishop stands up and shouts, "YEAH, AND PLENTY OF F'ING CHIPS.
A man rushes his limp dog to the veterinarian. The doctor pronounces the dog dead. The agitated man demands a second opinion. The vet goes into the back room and comes out with a cat. The cat sniffs the body and meows. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the cat thinks that your dog is dead, too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dog is dead. The vet brings in a black Labrador. The lab sniffs the body and barks. The vet says, "I'm sorry, but the lab thinks your dog is dead, too." The man finally resigns to the diagnosis and asks how much he owes. The vet answers, "£650." "£650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man. "Well," the vet replies, "I would only have charged you £50 for my initial diagnosis. The additional £600 is for the cat scan and lab tests."
Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling.
The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?"
The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch, It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into."
Polo mint walks into the pub and all the regulars recede into the corners, giving the polo utmost respect and making sure they don't look into the polos direction so they don't make eye contact. A bloke remarks to one of the regulars that they seem to be paying the polo a lot of respect, and he gets the reply, "That polo is feckin' hard, don't mess with him". Anyhow, a couple of minutes later a Halls Eucolyptus mint walks in and the polo retreats to a little recess. The bloke says, "I thought that polo was hard, he's just cowered away from the Hall eucalyptus". The regular replies"Yeah, that polo is hard, but that Halls eucolyptus, he's f'ckin menthol.
Tough crowd here, same fella reccing all the posts, but one more go:
Rabbit goes into the pub, orders a pint and a cheese toasted sandwich, lovely. Goes in every day and has the same every time until the barman says he's run out of cheese and only has ham toasted sandwiches left, so the rabbit has that. Anyway the rabbit dies the next day and comes back as a ghost. The barman says that he's sorry he died, but what did he die of, the rabbit says "mixingmetoasties".
Innkeeper: "The room is £15 a night. It's £5 if you make your own bed."
Guest: "I'll make my own bed."
Innkeeper: "Good. I'll get you some nails and wood."
