Lol.....as in LOLER The Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 

Sorry Ian....I was composing whilst you were posting

Bellers.....followed by Billy Cotton, Wakey Wakey...
and......Jimmy Clitheroe......am I/are we really that old !!!

The titular day in Sweet Thursday (1954) (the sequel to John Steinbeck's novel Cannery Row (1945)), the author explains, is the day after Lousy Wednesday and the day before Waiting Friday.
In The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the character Arthur Dent says: "This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays". A few minutes later the planet Earth is destroyed

Is Capt Tilly's parrot called Templeton Peck ?

Analogy.....MM's buy shares & fill up the hopper.
Shares exit the hopper via the MM'S outlet valve (they sell)....SP drops
Hopper level drops, MM'S close the outlet valve (they buy) & the hopper starts to fill...SP rises...and so the same shares recycle round, keeping the SP fairly steady
Sometimes, MM'S keep the outlet valve open for longer periods, resulting in a dramatic drop of SP (tree shake).....when this process has the desired effect, they buy up more shares to refill the hopper....SP rises, and so on and so on.....now, double or quadruple this up and you have multiple gangs of MM'S buying/selling stock between themselves, maybe even using amounts of shares, bought or sold, as codes ? All IMO of course.

EUA only comes along once-in-a-lifetime......

Now Tillywhiz was the skipper
And Lil was his leathery stripper
One crack of his whip
And septic would strip
Down to her smelly old kipper

Twas on the good ship eurasia
Where Lil would show off her dysplasia
She would lie on her front
And the sailors would grunt
At the limpets attached to her atresia

There was a young Sailor from Brighton
Who thought he’d at last found a tight ‘un.
He said, “Oh my love, It fits like a glove.”
Said she, “But you’re not in the right ‘un

and....Rich Text Formatting....

Something to do with 'kerning'....

Ian...you using ascii art ?....it doesn't paste easily into this environment, something to do with the formatting....

Even though I said last week that the Chinese won't be outbid.....it will not be allowed to go to non-Russian bidders..IMO

This won't go outside of Mother Russia.

EUA's present MCAP is 826.78M

HappyScot.....you must be getting a little 'tingle' down below !

Now, I would've thought that the protocol was that the seller would announce that a buyer had been found, no names mentioned...then the buyer would announce it to their shareholders, possibly via an EGM....

"Stake your life"....that's a bit dramatic isn't it.
