Ooh . . . do think it might be Warren Buffet?

Just a thought.

Safety, just catching up on a couple of days reading of the BB. Sorry to hear of your trials and tribulations.

I don't post much but read quite a few BB's. I like to check in on this one, not just because I am still invested here (less than I was, admittedly) but because there are a few decent posters who keep the standard up, you being prime amongst them. You can always be relied on for a balance of wit and wisdom and positive outlook on WRes. I know we don't know each other but I wanted to say good luck and good health. Stay strong.

I'm not qualified to say if it would . . .

However, Safety, if you do get to rub a nun with your toe, any chance of taking a few pictures?

Asking for a friend.

Oh Timster . . . you are a one . . .

Now hold out your hands, palms down, to get your knuckled rapped.

Good effort Teaye 72, well done.

As I recall, LR did a similar 'personal' appearance type of thing with, was it, Lloydyboy a few months ago. It is unusual, at least in my experience, that company bosses make the effort to deal personally and directly with private SH's (many barely acknowledge our existence). When LR does this, for me it speaks volumes about his openness and integrity (10 minute break from PC notwithstanding . . .) and reassures me that I should keep the faith.

I am an enthusiastic holder of EUZ shares perhaps rather too many at too high a price and a few times I have wobbled and thought about slicing or bailing. To hear that LR has again taken time to personally contact a SH is sufficiently gratifying to make me think I should continue to keep the faith.

So thanks Teaye 72 for you also taking the time to personally contact LR and relay the feedback to us. Cheers.

No.

That is precisely what I mean when I say you are banal and imply you are childish.

Turvart, I don't know about anyone else, but I am becoming very irritated by your banal ramblings cluttering up this BB. Please either grow up or stop posting here and go back to gaming.

Excellent work. Objective, rational and calmly delivered.

Much obliged.

Anyone else looking at the LP . . ?

Those who are complaining about having made a wrong decision (their own decision) are merely showing their weakness.
Those who are on here rubbing salt in the wounds of others are also weak but nasty as well.

I took a huge hit on this this morning (by my modest standards). After due consideration I have now more than doubled my holding.

Good luck to anyone else out there who still has a pair. Ha!

Yes, it has been happening for weeks. Recently some of my watchlist stopped showing trades after 11.30hrs. Now nothing after about 14.00hrs.

LSE have tried to explain it away as being something to do with the opening of the US markets. Really . . . so why now? Why not last year, the year before . . . this excuse makes no sense.

Clearly LSE don't think that irritating large numbers of users is of consequence. If they did, they would have fixed what is in fact a mere IT glitch by now.

Bad show LSE. Get your act together.

The scene:

Night, a dark alley, a dimly-lit doorway, a man and a woman huddled, talking. He lights a cigarette. The glow lights up her face. She has the faded good looks of her former glory, Miss Lancashire 1978.

She smiles knowingly and asks, “What’s your name love?”

Eagerly he ejaculates, “Miloh Throbber! Private Dyck”.

“Oooh pet, steady on. What’s your number?’

“88”

“88 Eeeee, . . . I like the sound of that . . .

Lights fade, muffled sounds, CUT!

Rosewall,

You say, "I have no idea what the idiot and the children have been saying."

I say: First, I don't believe you. Second, why is it so important to you to hand out insults and put downs (yet seemingly be unable to take the same back)? Third, fortunately for you (since your convenient memory cannot recall) I saved a copy of my post . . . which appears below.

Oh and . . . it may well be the case that I could use some investment advice but given my assessment of your character and abilities over the last several years, you are the last person I would ask.

Now let's see how long you allow this post to stay up. (11.32hrs, Mon 30 Mar 20)

My previous post : 22.11hrs Thu 26 Mar 20:

Pot, kettle . . etc

Rosewall, you have the audacity to call someone else the 'village idiot' . . .

I remember you buddy. I remember when you posted under a different name . . . Garyrose or something or other like that. Why did you change your moniker back then?

A whole thread from last night has disappeared. Surprise, surprise.

Know anything about that Rosewall?

I rarely look in here now (been in for ±10 years) but in a peculiar way I am heartened to learn that AST's revolving band of brigands, highwaymen, pickpockets, mountebanks, Dr Feelgood remedy purveyors, tumblers, acrobats and itinerant mendicant beggars . . . have come up with yet another manifestation . . . Pirates! And this time, in the Caribbean!Actual Pirates of the Caribbean. You couldn't make it up.

Hello Garwool1,

My understanding, from having Spanish radio on in the background today, is that the lockdown here (Spain) is to be extended to 11 April. The current state of emergency announced last weekend was for a fortnight. So another two weeks on top of the original. Personally, I would not be surprised if it were extended further after that, depending on how the 'curve' looks. But that is just my view.

I write this in response to your "any thoughts" at 09.49. It is not intended as a comment on how or when RNS's may or may not be issued and what they may or may not contain. Or how many or if any, Spanish people are at work, working from home, digging holes, typing emails, making coffee etc. Phew ! . . . that's a lot of caveats in one sentence. But it is to guard against being jumped on by the nitpickers.

And of course, GLA.

How would you know which is mine?

I have just successfully put through a little top up without a problem. Though whether or not it will show up on LSE is to be seen. Got them at 0.11.

Disciple,

A bunch of posts from last night have all gone. One was mine, so not that important. However there was a post around 23.30hrs from a poster called PetTrader . . . one of the best posts to have appeared on this BB for a long time.

Yes, we could do without a lot of the bickering-type posts but when someone throws a tantrum because their view is challenged, as I am sure you know, Admin are obliged to wipe the entire thread. In so doing we lose the good posts too.

PetTrader, if you are out there, please re-post what you said last night. It was excellent.

rfarfa,

That is precisely what I thought when I read the RNS.

I know next to nothing about drilling for oil but it just seemed like a classic, "while your down there . . ." sort of thing.
