" the underlying principle behind the stock market valuation of almost all companies is "the estimated value of the flow of future dividends....".

I think Jeff Bezos will disagree ,,, Amazon (3rd biggest company in World) has never paid a dividend.

In the report was the following sentence.

"Friends of the Earth Scotland said the find was terrible news for the climate."

These are probably the same people who are warming themselves in front of their gas fire or turning up their gas-fired central heating on this freezing cold night.

Thanks AD and SG
They must hit the water with one hell of a bang from that height.
I'd never seen those things before so it was just a wild guess but I don't remember seeing anything like those on the AM

Does anyone know what those 5 orange/red things at the rear of the 'Egina' are … my wildest guess is that they are some form of escape pods (life boats).

You are probably right but I had never had Brie before so I didn't know what to expect.
My usual favourite is a mature Cheddar or Red Leicester.

Thanks to all who answered my question re. the date format on French cheese.
(adoubleuk didn't reply)
It didn't smell that great when I opened it, so I dumped it.
Someone suggested that I just scraped the mold off but this is what Mayo Clinic has to say about it :-

Registered dietitian Katherine Zeratsky, over at the Mayo Clinic, explains which cheeses succumb to the dangerous effects of mold and which ones remain edible:
The answer depends on the type of cheese. Soft cheeses, such as cottage cheese and cream cheese, that grow mold should be discarded. With these cheeses, the mold can send root threads throughout the cheese. In addition, harmful bacteria, such as listeria, brucella, salmonella and E. coli, can grow along with the mold. The same goes for any kind of cheese that's shredded, crumbled or sliced.
Mold generally can't penetrate far into hard and semisoft cheeses, such as Cheddar, Colby and Swiss. So you can cut away the moldy part and eat the rest of the cheese. Cut off at least one inch around and below the moldy spot. Be sure to keep the knife out of the mold itself so that it doesn't contaminate other parts of the cheese.

Could you please tell me what the date convention is in France.
Is it DD/MM/YY as in U.K. or MM/DD/YY as in U.S.A. ?
The reason I ask is that at Xmas a friend gave me a bunch of food goodies which included some bottles of French beer (called ACKERLAND Biere de Noel.. very nice beer) and some French Brie cheese.
The date on the cheese is 02/01/19 so I was wondering if that means 02/Jan or 01/Feb.
If it's Feb then OK but if it's Jan then I should dump it.
Thanks in advance.

The third paragraph implies that no tugs will be needed for hook-up.

But if the weather is anything like this AM is much better off where she is.

I think you're right because if you remember that Peregrino video, the load on the winch was 595 tons so the 250 ton crane wouldn't be able to do it.

Surprised no-one has commented on latest RNS at 5 o'clock today.

I find these things difficult to understand sometimes but it seems to me that GS holdings went from 6.96% to 6.15% which would imply selling NOT buying.

I think they are a bit confused.

I'll try again.
Replace with V o x M a r k e ts
without the spaces.

23 mins in for HUR.

I think(hope) you're right.
If 75 m.p.h. gales are that prevalent WOS, then it'd be a real pain having to disconnect and head for cover every time.

I don't think that the weather window is the only consideration.
It's even more important to see what's the other side of the window.
It's hardly worth going to all that trouble if there is another 75 m.p.h. gale on the way.

I don't remember seeing this picture of Buoy before .. it really is an impressive size.

Should be EPS not FPS … sorry!

LadySonia and Wellwell
I agree, there's something a little disturbing about the Energy Voice Article.
I'm already in my 80's and having spent a week in hospital on 4 different occasions last year with lung problems, I don't think I have the option to wait around for 4 years for the FDP for the next phase of Lancaster .
So I'm hoping that, once the FPS has been proven, Dr.Trice will stick to his original plan of selling to highest bidder.

Thanks for your reply.... apology accepted.
