Those who are perhaps new to the parish may not be aware of the history of Cellcube so let me summarise it here:-
Once upon a time in days gone by (pre-2010) there was an Austrian company called Gildemeister who had developed a Vanadium based flow battery which they had named Cellcube. Now Gildemeister's parents had both died in an inexplicable children's story way so the young Gildemeister was sent to live with their old Aunt DMG Mori Seki, who specialised in making machine tools but had recently fallen under the spell of a dashing young beau called renewable energy.
Anyway, Gildemeister grew up and managed to get to the top of their class in the Vanadium based flow battery sector. Indeed they had a bright future ahead of them, so in 2014 aunt Mori Seki was casting around for a suitor for their young care, eventually settling on a youth from foreign lands by the name of American Vanadium. They were introduced and the Aunt looked on kindly. Alas, things were not to be, for whilst American Vanadium spoke of itself highly, it had no mine of its own and could not provide for the young Gildemeister family.
Now Aunt Mori Seki's suitor was becoming anxious "why are you spending all that money on the young Gildemeister, when you could be spending it on me ?" he would rant on a Sunday afternoon after spending an agreeable lunchtime with his friends down at the Inn. So Aunt Mori Seki was torn, one way this and one way that and resolved that if she were to keep her suitor happy she would have to send the young Gildemeister out into the world to make her own way. Which in 2018, she did.
Now at this time there was in the land of ice and maple syrup a young lad called Stina, who was most resourceful. He saw the young Gildemeister and was sore excited, saying quietly "fwoaar, she is one hell of a looker" and "she's not only got the brains but also will bring in the punters" for Stina, like American Vanadium before him, also had dreams to develop a mine that is called Bisoni-Mckay. So he went to Gildemeister and offered to put a roof over her head and many other things, which having no other proper offers on the table the young Gildemeister was somewhat obliged to accept.
Now no sooner had the lad Stina sealed the deal than did he start calling himself baron Cellcube and laying it all on a bit thick with stuff like "yeah an then we're gonna get a jacuzzi and a man cave and vertically integrated mines-to-batteries business" for he was, not to put too fine a point on it, getting a bit ahead of himself. And no sooner had the hot-tub and fripperies been delivered than did the bill arrive, and the young Stina, ahem, baron Cellcube look upon it and think to himself "how the hell am I going to pay that ? - for I have no mine and no income of my own "
