The contract is worth infinitely more than no contract .

Chris McLaughlin quotes look very level headed and I particularly liked the one below, thanks for the link tyche and cassius. Listening to Queen "Rock the world" on i-player - interesting morning so far! O3 are talking about launching in 2019 or maybe 2020 .... at least we don't have to worry how many years before we have the nucleus of a business.

Chris McLaughlin, Chief of Corporate and External Affairs at Avanti Communications, adds that in the LEO versus MEO versus GEO debate, every satellite operators will tell you that theirs is best. But in practice, he says, what is available is best.

Nice one Cassius, or are you now known as Muhammed :O)

Interesting market given the demographics, current and future markets look very promising ....

South Sudan has a population of 12 million, with Christianity as the majority religion. Half of the habitants in South Sudan are under 18 years of age, said Virginia Gamba, the UN Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict when he visited South Sudan in April 2017.

I am surprised you give credence to the view that what is said in chatrooms has any influence on an SP, H.
The common thread across all boards is that it does not.

Personally, I am fairly sure that on low volume trades they do.
When it comes to blue chip companies then certainly not.

If I investigate a stock and find a poster in their chatroom whom I respect (there are loads on SXX but not so much the current crop) , his or her view will confirm or deny my original thoughts for obvious reasons.
There was a bloke in the BP dealing room years ago who the others consulted because taking the contra view was an almost certain winner.

You are becoming very repetitive on your remarks about GCCR you know! You are making his claim that the same person is posting under several guises look possible. The three I am considering have distinct entities and messages that rarely overlap which is suspicious.

association was deep-rooted? Sorry this made me smile!
I am as cynical as they come but things are happening that is making me question life after death.
Nice events so far but two are difficult to explain with any level of confidence. Seeing robins at funerals is easy to explain .... just live in the country and turn some soil and many birds will be expecting some worms to appear. Robins are possibly the friendliest of birds or maybe bravest, and will often arrive first! We had one that would jump on and off my wife's hand to get to new soil on the other side. Not that sort of other side.

Just read this ....
The association of robins with dead loved ones has been doing the rounds in south wales for a long time, the accosiation was deaproated and already 'very old' when my gransparents were children.

I was particularly taken by "accosiation was deaproated" and thought I was about to learn two new words.
Twigged the meaning after looking them up. Separate post with my offer of an explanation.

Tomorrow was never coming on the Channel Tunnel at the time they were digging a hole and a half I guess?
To your mind I expect Rome WAS probably built in a day?

Happily up 1.72% today?

Had to look PAAA word up - thought it came from perspective - but maybe not ...
Are you descended from Joseph Conrad by any chance ? Did Typhoon and Youth for Lit O level and will never forget how he used 'physiognomy' for the captain (on page 1 I think) when 'face' would have done! The other two authors were Chaucer and Shakespeare so it would have been nice to have some proper English in English Literature! Child cruelty in my book!

Synonyms for perspicacity
noun insight

acumen
discernment
discrimination
penetration
perception
shrewdness
understanding

Physiognomy is the assessment of character or personality from a person's outer appearance, especially the face often linked to racial and sexual stereotyping.

Of course I was joking. I then opened the mail to find my energy supplier was changing my monthly rate after only 2 months. This is par for the course for First Utility who I have been with for a few years.

They have reduced it by £6 per month. Uswitch found them and they saved me £30 per month initially.
Then they reduced it even more so I saved £60 over my previous supplier (who started this by raising my rate despite the balance being several hundreds in credit).

This year First Utility raised it by £24 per month like they all did. But now reduced it by £6 so just £18 more for dual fuels. Could not praise this company enough. Now I am alone I fully expect further decrease because I have turned the heating down and I don't use dishwasher and washing machine etc as much as my wife.

I'll probably save £10 on the kettle alone because she absolutely loved the odd coffee or ten.

I agreed to have a smart meter installed to get the low rate and when the installer came he could not get a phone signal for it and had to leave it until a new mast is put up in the future. I am still getting the smart meter rate because it was not my fault. See what I mean?

Sugar, thought I was selling £31k worth - it is going to bring my average down loads :O)

H, the depreciating assets are nowhere near the spec of #3 and #4 , one ready to launch next year and t'other virtually new. #1 is expected to last until 2025 which is plenty of time for the 'broadband bug' to hit Africa.
You've talked me out of trying to average down to a sensible level, £600 does not buy many in my main investment i.e. CBA shares, plus dealer costs are double for ASX compared to the FTSE ... just had the awful task of putting the funeral flowers in the bin but they have lasted over 4 weeks which is pretty good. They cost £600 (that is how my memory works) and were in the garden for the deer to eat but they have not touched them. How comes they used to eat all the missus's flowers when she could do the gardening? My wife's nickname, in Afrikaans, meant 'little deer' and I thought it was very fitting. One day one of my plans will work.

Ignoring the other stuff, this sentence from Dan's post looks very relevant .....

"Revenue for the six months to June 30 grew 23% to USD29.9 million from USD24.3 million a year ago",
no mention of 300M in there ..... every growth brings the exponential growth of demand more likely. It is going to happen one day.

Wasted the morning so far trying to get Smart TV to log me in - don't even know what browser it is but it is rubbish and crashed whether I select LOGIN on the screen or SUBMIT from the 'keypad'.

JVC don't seem to have an alternative browser so not that Smart - I'll just have to restrict myself to using my laptop here.

I knew it as GWS25 and took an interest in new weapons which might be it.
Sea Dart was first but the spec did not match. Sea Wolf clearly did.

I think the Argies countered Sea Dart by flying behind our ships and Sea Dart had to be diverted into the sea so it never blew the ship up.

MTB has achieved a success at long last. To report his ageist post as a hate crime I'd have to remove him from the filter list to be able to access his post and report it. Think I'll bring this to LSE's attention and kill two b*rds with one stone. He is on dangerous ground.

They will probably know Joe Crumpen the brains behind it - one engineering guy - at West Hanningfield rd, GT Baddow.

Here's one I never got but Rachel did in overtime

164 from 100 50 25 5 5 2

Do you remember core memory H, £10k per kilobyte because it had valuable gold connections. Wires passed through metal rings which were magnetised in either direction by the electricity flow - 0 or 1 depending on the direction, each ring a bit.

.

MTB, I resigned at IBM in my first month (5 days) to take a paycut and work at Marconi Research on Sea Wolf.

The radar and CCTV guidance system were developed by Marconi Radar at Great Baddow, Essex.

Look it up and that is the last time I read your posts, so don't reply to me.
I am mad, fr some reason I expected a sincere apology after you put your size 18 boot in your mouth. I'd like to put my size 11 in it tbh!
You are clearly unable to find a barn in a pin cushion when it comes to research.

My IBM boss made me laugh when I showed him my job offer from Marconi.
It's less than we are paying you 'Brad'. Hell, I am not going to offer you a paycut to stay - and presumably an increased salary would not change your mind either?

MTB if you can login always automatically here then your system is insecure, and so are you passwords!!!
Further proof you are an imbecile! I won't elaborate but H will know!

I usually login automatically but not always!

Technophobe to a first generation programmer who started his career with IBM in 1969!
Not long after this adverts said applicants should be no more 25 because they were too old to have done a computer degree or equivalent. By the time I was 40 they said n more than 40!

Have you ever been right on anything?

"For the sake of your family (though you're probably single)"

This confirms for everyone on here what a complete rrr you r

So up yourself you cannot see the obvious because you are right in you one tiny brain cell.
50% chance of the magnetic field being clockwise or anti-clockwise for right or wrong.
H will get the significance of that.

The subject line Smart TV was not even enough to penetrate your skull.

"the same but cleaner" is the source of your tirade

MTB - Cannot read, cannot comprehend, cannot do countdown - won't be reading your rubbish any more. It is worth the nuisance of always logging in to LSE to miss your idiocy alone. Thank you LSE for the filter facility.

"It's not cleaner, it's exactly the same you clot! HITs just showed more detail in his workings. Keep 'em coming Bradders...."

Both methods must be equally taxing for you MTB or you would not have sad that!

300 - 50 + 6 = 256 i.e. (x - y + z) takes a fraction of the time to verify compared to

300 - (50 - 6) =256 i.e. (x - (y - z))

Getting to 44 and then subtracting 44 from 300 is clearly more work for the rest of this board.

Really must start logging on the tv upstairs - I cannot suffer fools gladly!
