It is not the services and sermons which bind the congregation of OSD's 'church' (and appal the good people of Kefalos). After the service comes the party at the English engineer's house. In the course of his parish announcements at this morning's service OSD (resplendent in his vestments comprising a pair of oil stained Khaki shorts and a string vest) and his wife (in Raybans, sticll bearing the price tag) delivered their invitation:-

'7.30 tonight at our humble dwelling. We look forward to entertaining you all.

I'll be there,

Performing my party trick

Sliding down the bannister

And landing on my ***k

And I'll be there

Up to my famous stunt

Sticking to the ceiling

By he suction of my [deleted, LSE]'

To which the congregation responded

'We'll be there

Balls to our partners, arses to the wall.

If we don't get f**ked on Sunday night

We'' never get f**ked at all.'

The good people of Kefalos shook their heads, crossed themselves, and warned their children to give the English engineer's house a wide berth.

Plutuq, Hexam, you are absolutely right.

Gardin and QBT are beyond parody, never mind analysis: the only fun to be had here nowadays is sending up OSD's sanctimonious posts.

No, OF COURSE you don't read other boards .You have told us so many. many times. And yet ... and yet.... methinks thou dost protest too much.

How about giving up reading BBs altogether and confining yourself to looking at mirrors? Do that and you can be sure of liking what you see. - I promise not to stand behind you making faces.

'Greasy spoon'. That is a give away. I never doubted that you DO follow the ADVFN board to see if anyone is posting about you, and what they are saying.

No need to justify your choice of cafes. I would never criticise anyone for cutting his coat to suit his cloth. Showing off by eating at establishments you can't afford is plain stupid.

You sound dyspeptic this morning. Did last night's cheap meal in a backstreet cafe disagree with your delicate stomach?

Attention seeking again, OSD?

Don't worry, you have drawn a number of posts on the ADVFN board.

OSD, as one scriptural authority to another I'll give you a tip. When you are expatiating on the scriptures to your wife over dinner, avoid enthusing over the merit to be found in oiled up virgins - especially if you are relying on her to pay the bill.

OSD, not for the first time, you have me baffled. What is scripture 'in the modern sense?'

Is it not about eternal truths?

As to your assertion tha you can't make money if you are not invested, that is only half the story. You can lose money if you are invested. The stocks you do not buy are arguably more important than those you do. It takes a 100% rise to make good a 50% fall.

Speaking of which, I see that QBT has fallen decisively below 0.7p today. Probably you had already seen that, as your choice of 'Momma's' seems to have been dictated by price. Put QBT and Gardin out of your mind until after dinner. Don't let them spoil your meal.

I see that no one has taken me up on my challenge to name a listed company, still trading, with a worse ROI /ROC than QBT has, either over its full 25 year existence, or since it pivoted from swimming pools to quantum computing.

I think we can safely conclude that there isn't one.

Mrhanji, You could be right. If there is a possibility of some cash coming in, it would be a shame to waste it on the long suffering QBT shareholders wouldn't it?

UserS, is the £700K from the Sipiem litigation free for QBT to spend unless and until QBT defeats the current appeal?

Now for a challenge to occupy the minds of all here who are so bored that in order to keep themselves occupied they have resorted to repeating endlessly their guesses as to what and when the next 'news' will be:-

Can you identify any listed company still trading which has a worse negative ROI /ROC than QBT?

[By all means take the last 5 years since QBT pivotted from swimming pools to quantum computing if you think that period is more relevant to current investors /putative investors than the full quarter century since QBT's inception]

I bet you can't find one!

My post yesterday evening looks to have been spot on.

The bear and the undecided analyses have been vindicated for the present, the bull analysis 'not so much' as Borat might say.

The one clear takeaway is that another capital raise will be coming. That, however, is something all of us already knew. There are not two but three certainties in life: death, taxes and the regular QBT capital raises.

As OSD has sagely reminded us, his money is his and ours is ours, and it is his and our choice whether we spaff it up the QBT wall from which it trickles sdown into Gardin's pocket.

Everyone should stop obsessing about 'news'.

For the bulls: remember that 'a watched pot never boils'.

For the bears: remember that QBT never updates the market or shareholders about initiatives or projections which come to nothing. Gardin just acts as though they had never happened.

For those on the fence: remember that 5 months is along time for sophisticated players in this sector to take to appraise tech which is supposedly ready to roll out commercially and to make a decision about it. If they had concluded that it works and they wanted to contract for the right to do so, the likelihood is that at least 'heads of terms' preparatory to a formal agreement would have been agreed by now, and an announcement made. Neither QBT nor its customer would have benefitted from continued secrecy.

I think that covers all shades of enthusiasm (and lack of it ) of QBT investors, prospective investors, and shorters. So no one need post another word about whether and when Gardin will break his oath of omerta.

I am sure there are still a few holiday destinations he wants to visit, all expenses paid!

I wish I had a quid for every post saying 'up-date tomorrow'.

Gardin's modus operandi is simply to forget optimistic predictions when they come to nothing. No news is bad news in the case of QBT. The nearest he comes to an explanation is to roll out for the umpteenth time his favourite mantra 'It is proving more difficult and taking longer than expected.'

Then he gets back to thumbing through the conference catalogues for next year, looking for exotic destinations at which to holiday at the shareholders' expense.

OSD, over on the ADVFN board they believe your desire to build an Ark shows that at last you see disaster looming for QBT's shareholders. They think that at long last there are signs that you are wising up. Don't shatter their illusions.

Maid 'we are but passengers on a train waiting for the journey to begin. It has been a frustrating 5 year's wait'

How true. Half a decade sitting on a train waiting for it to leave the station and begin its journey is more than 'frustrating'. It is idiocy on the part of those passengers!

The news of the Ark has been met with far more interest on the ADVFN board than it has here. The words of OSD are listened to there, but treated with indifference and even disbelief here. It was ever thus.

Truly I say unto you, a prophet is not without honour but in his own country, amongst his own kin, and in his own house. Mark 6:4.

Further information on the response to today's sermon:-

Gardin showed no apparent reaction. He told Vad to pour him another drink, Rios to re-light his bong, and continued to thumb through the 2026 catalogue of conferences, turning down the page corners to mark those advertising exotic venues.

This weeks sermon has received a mixed reaction.

The QBT True Believers on this board (all four of them) nodded sagely, tapped their noses, and clicked on. 'Recommended'.

The Kefalos locals rolled their eyes, tapped their heads, and muttered 'the English engineer'.
