This has to be something or other - cannot think of an appropriate word………

B

PS he lost his fuel bonus as a result!

We were on Arcadia in 2014 coming back from US and Canada early October. Sailed as far north as Greenland to avoid the tail of H. Gonzales but the Captain had no choice to go through it otherwise he would have been late back into Soton for the next cruise.

Interesting experience. I was too ill to care!

B

I am going fishing - for trout - later in the week, I hope. In the meantime, it’s RHS at Hampton Court tomorrow, then car MOT and some shopping Wednesday and, hopefully, some time to spend sorting out my new railway room ready for some layout building when back from Arcadia cruise.

Who needs all this stress?

B

Before you say anything, Bot, I was not in charge this time!

Back to the usual pattern - good rises over previous days, then a tank for no good reason when NYSE opens.

B

Despite Bot’s view, this is actually a fun and informative board.

As for my contribution, I sit here contrite but also happy that I haven’t done too much damage.

B

Welcome OceansJay.

Neversell, can you bung me in the list at £14.26, please?

B

We won’t stop you buying us all a drink, Bot!

Over 5,500 trades on the LSE yesterday is huge. Usually no more than half that. Does sound like the Algo’s were active as Bot said.

Have a great w/e everyone.

B

Well, at a closing price of £13.52, nearest was Baldy. Drinks on him/her then.

Mine’s a G & T!

B

So, it does sound like the new croupier had his foot on the pedal, then?

I just looked at a European wheel and can now see what you mean, Parky. Still not sure how the croupier could exercise any real influence unless he had magnetic balls, or something?

Bot, sorry to be late on this, but how much did you have to bet over the week to get your Junior Suite?

B

Haha!

Yes, CWWX, reminds of the old-time western films where the croupier had his or her foot on a pedal under the table……. The only gambling I do these days is on here, or, rather, HL, where my SIPP is held.

B

Al, for those ignoramuses here, well me, what is the “no win slot” on a roulette wheel?

Something that just increases the odds in house’s favour? As if there wasn’t enough margin, anyway…..

Glad you had a good time.

B

So, 1% gain on the day. Totally acceptable to one (me) who is in for the long haul. Currently showing a 65% gain from my average. I can assure you it is beginner’s good fortune.

What do you reckon for tomorrow, Bot? Especially as it’s done better today than you expected.

B

What do we reckon for 14:30 today, guys?

B

Well, it is over my £12.75 for Friday. Will it get to Bot’s bet?

B

£12.20……..

£11.94

B

Current price £11.74…….

B

I think the results may be released at 14:00 our time. The webcast flows at 15:00.

Historically, there’s always been loads of activity prior to the start of the webcast.

B

Oh well, what can one say? One day up, the next down. And in between. Lots of ups and downs. I don’t think this pm will do anything to assuage that pattern. We won’t see restoration of tge Divi until at least next year.
