You know, the worst thing is, I can just see Oli sitting there reading this and laughing his bllx off. Of course, as we all know, Oli is only really there to take the flack, and to try and keep us mug punters appeased as and when he can, and quite obviously he's got absolutely nothing to tell us just now, or at least nothing he dare tell us before him and Drummond have drawn another 2 months wages.

..............was missed 6 or so weeks ago when people on here were starting to consider getting together to force an EGM, in fact, that was the only time we got that pizz weak prik Jolly Oli to break silence about what was happening. Our chatter on here started to get them worried, because we stood a chance of screwing up their self-serving agenda, that is, the agenda they've most likely had since they got this company suspended. I've been convinced since day one that this suspension was most likely by design, and I still am, in fact more so now than ever. There's not really enough time to force an EGM now, but as I've said before, the larger shareholders here should be joining forces for their own sake to bring a legal case against these cowboys if the worst comes to the worst. No doubt if people start to show any signs of unity on here again, Jolly Oli will chirp up again with more Twitter BS. I've been invested here since TEA hit the market because I liked the concept, but I sold out the majority of my shares several months before the suspension for a pretty hefty loss as I could see where this group of chancers were taking it, and what holding I have left is neither here nor there to me now. More than anything, I really feel for the people who are still in deep here, and I hope they don't just write their investment off as a poor choice, as there is a big difference between an investment going wrong, and being ripped off at point blank range. There is no reason for people here to just roll over here and accept their depressing fate, no reason whatsoever. This sort of BS is commonplace on AIM, and it makes my blood boil as I've been a victim of it several times, so I know the signs only too well unfortunately. I seriously wish everyone here luck, and hey, I'd still like to see what few shares I have left here worth something. Who knows, maybe they will get this sorted, maybe they'll surprise everyone, maybe most of us here are barking up the wrong tree, but the fact remains that their shady behaviour is incredibly provocative at this point now, and not at all the behaviour of a professional group of businessmen. A companies BOD has a duty to keep their investors informed, and this crew up to now have shown nothing but total contempt for their investors. This sort of behaviour is at best completely dishonourable whichever way you look at it, and shouldn't be taken lightly by anyone. I wish everyone luck, and I would say now is the time for everyone here to start turning up the wick, if that is only some of the larger shareholders here discussing and planning quite openly how they intend to act . For better or worse, I say smoke the fckers out. Come on Oli lad, we know you're there, we know you're reading this, WE'RE ALL PIZZED OFF NOW, what have you got to say for yourself.

Well, if they decided to wrap this one up, and who knows ?........... Most of the money in that instance would likely get lost in wages, running costs, rent, etc, which would all come in handy for them personally, and would no doubt come in most handy for their preferential ventures elsewhere. The current state of affairs, whereby the BOD aren't telling anyone what's going on with a delisting looming is a huge red flag, and reeks of the good old classic "milking a company for all it's worth while you get your personal life and new career on track courtesy of the mug punters (or hosts, as they're better known to parasites)". That may or may not be the case, but their actions up to this point have been extremely suspicious. There would of course be some investments to be sold, the proceeds from which may or may not find it's way into the pocket of the common shareholder, depending on how generous the BOD feel like being. As we all know, expense is a very easy thing to create if you want/need to. It all depends what sort of scheming these characters have been getting up to over the last 4 months I suppose.

Oli reminds me of someone I had a really bad experience with on ebay once, and from what I've seen up to now, peddling pieces of miscellaneous junk on ebay is where he belongs TBH. I wonder how long it would be before ebay chucked his tinpot business off the marketplace.

Agreed. The BOD have treated shareholders with complete contempt since the outset here, whilst spouting all their "We listen to you" Twitter BS. If Jolly Oli thinks getting a Broker to sign up to this (Allegedly, according to Jolly Oli, spouter of Twitter hearsay) is enough to get shareholders back onside, then he's a bigger divvy than I thought. What they've allegedly accomplished whilst this has been in suspension, should have been accomplished long before the suspension. The big issue here is whether or not a RTO has been secured by the BOD, and all the signs point to a big fat no at the moment. To put it simply, No RTO or no major overhaul of the companies investing strategy, then several weeks from now there will be NO COMPANY. Jolly Oli and co can get as many tuppence ha'penny brokers as they like to sign up, but that means buggr all at the moment when the company is mere weeks away from being chucked off the market. The fact they haven't even mentioned the RTO for months, and can't even bring themselves to update the market, especially at this point, is just a damning indictment of what a gaggle of chancers these gits really are.

IMO the next RNS probably won't include much more than Jolly Oli has already told us. Personally, I think this mob's made so little progress that they've decided to hold out on what little news they do have until the investor show, to help create the illusion they're making progress, when all the signs point to the fact they're probably not.

..........It would seem the BOD have managed to avoid the shareholder revolt that was looking likely here at one point. Now it's just a matter of them getting as much of a pull as they can before they (or the LSE) pull the plug by the looks of things. I would hope some very large shareholders here would pursue legal action against these characters, but as learned helplessness is very much a characteristic of the AIM punter, I imagine many people will just blame themselves and write it off as yet another bad investment. I would very much like to see these gits pull something out of the bag for everyone involved here, but their actions and shady behaviour up to this point doesn't exactly fill you with confidence does it ? I've been in these situations myself, and I really feel for people stuck in here deep, left at the mercy of these swines. Good luck all, and keep these fekers on their toes. It's too late to organise to force an EGM, but there's still time for people in deep here to organize something should the worst happen.

We don't get any official announcements anymore mate. Just Oli wittering on to whoever is daft enough to listen to him on Tvvatter. Love this line: "TFSL will be working, not yet tho." Nothing like clarity is there. So move along, nothing to see here folks, it will be working, just not yet, PMSL. 2 months from wipeout, and Oli breaks radio silence to tell us, everything is OK, and that he's done some tuppence ha'penny deal with some POS broker. Ah well, at least there's a bit of sun outside today.

With Jolly Oli and JD playing the sisters.

Jolly Oli strikes again. Act on what information ? They've haven't even given us any decent information as to why we're suspended. This guy just smacks of BS. Oli said he couldn't comment on what is going on currently. Surely he could tell what the plan is, but he can't apparently, and why not I ask ?...........................because he obviously doesn't know himself, but I suppose he would describe that as being "flexible", PMSL. Quite obviously, what we've seen here since the outset is blatant mismanagement. Looks like the crew have too many fingers in too many pies, and can barely run one company to a reasonable standard IMO. It's no good keeping shareholders in the dark for countless months on end, incessantly missing deadlines with little or no explanation, then when shareholders start to get ratty, just merely telling them "we listen to you" and "we're doing something, but it's best we don't tell you at this time" starts to get old hat after a while. The bottom line. The board needs to give shareholders ANSWERS or ACTION, failure to do either with delisting looming large in the very near future is EXTREMELY poor shareholder relations. Jolly Oli and co could quite easily have told us plenty since we've been suspended, and legality has nothing to do with that, especially as we're not even fcukking trading, rather it simply has to do with the fact that either, they don't want to tell us anything, or can't because they've achieved pizz all in the last three months. As I've already mentioned, Oli could quite easily put all the "hearsay" to bed by opening his mouth and giving us some "Information", but if he and his chums can't manage that then there is a serious problem somewhere along the line isn't there.

How many companies do you see listed on here where people bother going through some other legal procedure after their money has gone up in smoke. IMO, it is far easier to get people to organise before their money goes up in smoke, and while the company is still trading. It may only take the threat of a looming EGM to force the boards hand here, and to help take their mind off their other lucrative business dealings while they are leaving people here out to dry. Oli has reacted on his Twadter page the last twice an EGM has been threatened on here. People here just need another couple of percent and an EGM is a real possibility. If some decent progress isn't secured by the board in the coming week or so I would strongly advise shareholders to take it to the pigs running this farce full force.

Working hard to find a way of making this company worthless for shareholders I imagine, and they've got another couple of months to do that in. As they're butchering this company they're no doubt working on their next "BIG THING". Time is running out for shareholders if they want to organise and force an EGM.

Just reading through his tweet now. "We must wait until we are able to update the market, which the board want to do ASAP." What's stopping them, a sudden outbreak of dyslexia at TEA HQ. Oh no.........pardon me, I forgot, they're "in negotiations" so can't tell us anything. "The reason for the delay is an opportunity arose which we want to explore" Wow, that sounds just like "The idea just got bigger" all over again. What he meant to say was, he's probably been far more busy securing a future for himself if/when this goes thitz up. I would strongly urge investors on the basis of Oli's last tweet to organise themselves ready to force an EGM. If the board can't update the market in a timely manner, just 3 months away from delisting that says a lot. How convenient that they will now probably delay issuing a RNS lot longer, to the likely extent, that by the time we get the next update, we will probably be mere weeks from delisting. How convenient also, that Oli decides to issue his little statement, just as some of us are discussing taking action. I would also urge investors to consider that if you were running a company just 12 weeks from being delisted, and you had supposedly been in negotiations for the last three months to keep the company listed, why, oh why would you decide to pursue some other deal when your a couple of months from being kicked off the exchange. As I said before, a RTO here isn't likely to be on favourable terms for us because any interested party knows full well that this company is over a barrel, and why is this company over a barrel ?.............................apparently because of some innocent (which is debatable) mistake. There have been far too many cock ups here for my liking, and the last mistake of getting an investment company suspended for not investing seems laughable to me, and far too obvious of a mistake to make. Whether an innocent mistake or not, there is something that doesn't feel right here just now, and I think most people would agree. As I've said numerous time, shareholders should seriously consider taking measures to secure their investment interests in this mire of personal greed, contempt, and abject incompetence.

Well, if there is an update now it's looking like it'll have to be at "nobody's watching o'clock" as TW says. That being said, it wouldn't surprise me to see nothing for another month, as that seems to be the usual modus operandi of this shower. If we don't get any news in the next 24 hours, my advice to shareholders here, would be to start organising something before they take this to the wire. I would say 2-3 months is the minimum shareholders would need to organise something, and force a meeting. So time is ticking if people want to secure their investment. Maybe the board will pull a rabbit out of a hat, but it's not looking likely at the moment, so there's nothing wrong with shareholders organising a plan B here regardless IMO. Shareholders need to force the boards hand here, so we all know where we stand before it's too late.

Glad you pointed that out mike. So it appears the great wannabe jolly Oli is sticking his fingers in a few more pies, just like his pals. No wonder he's gone so quiet of late.

...........From buttons she came, and to buttons she will return. This seems to be the goal of the people running this show from what I can tell. Jolly Oli apparently hiding his Instagram page from the public doesn't bode well. Does it mean he is expecting more flak for another impending balzz up ?............................................Probably I would say, but you never know I suppose. This has been the same old tale as most other AIM companies up to now. A few of the serial CEO class hedging their career bets, having their fingers in as many pies as possible with little concern for any one particular company, and just hoping to drop lucky with one company at everyone else's expense. Then of course there is jolly Oli, the misty eyed public mouthpiece, just happy to have some sort of a job, who is of course there to take the flak for Drummond et al. My advice to shareholders would be to organize, as soon as possible preferably. Don't let them run this to the wire, so that none of you are able to do anything about it. Prepare and be ready I say. Then if substantial news is not forthcoming, you all have a plan B. On the other hand, if the board do pull their fingers out, it may well be as a consequence of your efforts to hold them to account. There is no harm in turning the wick up whatever happens, it can only benefit us all as shareholders. Blind trust in the business classes who patrol the murky waters of the AIM is a fools game, that's been the only thing I've learnt since I got involved in this game. There is no benefit to any of us as investors in having our noses stuck up these characters rings, not unless you're accustomed to being shzyit on time and time again.

It's one of those cases, that when the questions start coming, nobody is the boss apparently. I can only suggest to shareholders during this period of self-inflicted suspension, that their time would be best spent organising some sort of group to hold the people running this company to account, and bin them all if necessary, should a reasonable explanation of the current situation, and reasonable prospectus not be forthcoming.

I wouldn't blame you mate. They don't seem in to much of a hurry to fix anything just now, which doesn't bode too well IMO.

Tomorrow is the last day that they can release news if they want to keep to the promises they made in the last RNS. Personally, I think we'll either get no news, or some vague excuse for an update. The fact that news is not forthcoming from this shower, would suggest to me that this situation is nowhere near being resolved. I've seen mobs like these dragging their feet before, and it's never very reassuring to say the least. Pound to a penny the next RNS (if we get one) will be a real foot dragger.

I imagine the update will be as enlightening as every other update we've had (Or haven't had) up to now. I imagine it will be something along the lines of: "We're very pleased with everything, including ourselves. Some stuff is going on, and we're very pleased with that too. We will update all shareholders sometime in the next few months again because we care. Just to conclude, me and the board are extremely pleased with everyone and everything" Looking forward to the update.
