Ells. Can I sell you mine for 10p. Leaves plenty of profit for both of us. Lol

Report in daily Express stating that recent EU COVID events have made a lot of Swedes even more Eurosceptic than previously. Swedes are apparently worried that with UK gone, their influence is much lessened and they fear being forced into the euro. There is even talk of an alliance with uk and Norway.
Hope they are a bit more friendly to uk than they are to BEM.

It's in my shed waiting for me to take it to the scrappie

Last quarterly update was fairly positive although, despite most filming and productions now again running, there are a number of lingering additional covid related costs which are bound to have adverse impact on profitability near term.
Next update shortly will hopefully show continued improvements in advertising.
From the last update.....
"We have further improved the design and functionality of the Hub which now has 32m registered users; and BritBox is on track, with a very successful launch for Spitting Image - BritBox's first original commission."
Could do with some more meat on the bones as regards what "on track" means. Also whilst 32 million Hub users is a big number, they don't contribute to the bottom line. Would be nice to see what itv are doing to encourage them to switch to feepaying BB. Will many switch if they have all they need free on HUB?
We can talk all we like about takeovers but any large US media outfit will be looking at maximum benefit for minimum cost.

Please please please Shifted. I can't recall the exact wording of Tom's post which, conveniently, for you, has now been removed. But there are ways of interpreting comments and you are clearly foisting your own interpretation and acting indignantly so as to gang up on tom.
This comment was made to me earlier by
Davielad
"3 Card, you are part of the problem then - not part of the solution"
Now if I was of Jewish extraction, I may well have been deeply offended by that comment even though made without malice.
May I also confirm that I disagree with a lot of Tom's posts many of which are unnecessarily negative, as are some other posters' comments on here unnecessarily positive.
I would reiterate earlier comment about Voltaire quote.

Ella's, thanks. The processing plant looks a whole lot better than the pile of shiite supposedly constructed by Borrelli at kabwe

May I please direct you to Voltaire as this is a discussion board

There is a very nice bottle of English whisky in my cupboard with CB's name on it if we get anywhere close to 24p

Presume someone will now try and ban me for encouraging drug taking

Typo. Ganging up

I agree with WM.
Whether you like Tom or not his clumsy use of words , although no longer available to read, were taken out of context, and, I suspect, deliberately by a group of posters who clearly can't stand him and are hanging up on him to silence him.
For me, it reminds me of the way another Nige was demonised constantly by a left wing political mob who wanted to silence his contrary view.
As so many have already said, if you don't want to read what he prints put him on filter. Yet some on here seem to swallow it as they would a pill in a nightclub.

Hi Jed. Just saw your error post on PFD and have to say I feel your pain and am equally exasperated with BG. I overpay for my dual fuel on a £150 PM standing order as I prefer regular payments and don't like being in deficit. Every few months they reduce my standing order and again today I notice a £400 credit to my bank account . I used to spend ages arguing with them on the telephone but it's like a brick wall. They have a system and you must comply. And yet oddly enough, they allow you to manage your own standing order online (as long as it suits them).
Strangely the refunds and payments reduction always seem to occur during the winter months which immediately puts me in deficit for the following month.
It's bizarre and bloody annoying. Almost as if they want you to be in hock to them as a deterrent from switching.

TS. Admin's mind works in mysterious ways its wonders to perform. Anyone on BEM thread will confirm how it seemed almost impossible to get rid of a foul mouthed troll called busterhogdog, although come to think of it, haven't seen him around of late.

DC. 80 million sounds good on paper but there are plenty of examples out there where the delivery was less than the promise, eg The Millenium Dome and Sareum Holdings. Has the government ever received a penny of the profit now being made by the current owners of the dome? Sareum signed a potentially mega deal with a big biopharma offering tens of millions of royalties a few years ago based on certain parameters. Nothing to date and unlikely in forseeable.
I think we should view the deal as it currently is, ie a few million in the coffers and the potential for additional funds a few years down the line if all goes to plan, which it rarely does in Africa.

LPD. On the contrary, I have previously bought these at £6 and sold out a while back with a good profit. At the time, it was hoped generally that this would have all blown over within a few months and yet here we are almost a year later with the cruise industry on its kness and heavily debt laden.
I did say a while back I wouldn't even consider buying back in unless sub £11 and then cautiously. And yet, bizarrely, that is looking unlikely any time soon. I suspect too many are looking at the previous £40 SP and the vaccine rollout and assuming that everything will be hunkydory by early summer. By that time, most countries will still be way, way off the vaccine levels required for herd immunity. I am assuming that at some point soon I will receive an Email advising that my end of May cruise has been cancelled.
Meanwhile, I am in no rush whatsoever to "not miss the boat" as the SP climbs higher. For me, investing is all about your entry point and your exit point and currently, I see the entry point as way too high for comfort.

I would counsel caution buying at these levels..
Yes cruise bookings are bus towards the end of the year but let's not forget this will include a lot of re-booked cancelled cruises already paid for a while back.
SP was nudging £11 last week and could well do so again in near future.

Not sure sparrow but it wasn't RNS'd, just social media so vog presumably didn't find it worthy of comment.

Sparrow. This is the second funding arrangement in recent months and we didn't get a sniff from the first one. Why would this be any different?
We are at the bottom of the pile and clearly have little leverage as the last 2 years have shown.
