Member Info for Contra

Gipps51 - Yes you have it completely wrong. I refer you to the answers I and others have given earlier.

Tsbs - Wobble thee not - it will all be fine.

I stopped reading the posts yesterday morning - and feel better for it. However, i couldn't help myself in having more thoughts on the situation. If this situation has been thought about before then sorry, but I don't want to go back and read all those posts just to check.

I wonder, when YA were caught selling shares that were not issued to them that they did so in the belief that FRR had no choice but to issue shares as Hope had told them that Frontera did not have the money and that he would block them from raising any to pay the due amounts to YA, and that whole situation was brought about by YA and Hope colluding together to bring about a default. We now know what happened. YA "gave in" to Frontera and new terms were negotiated much to Frontera's advantage. If some sort of written record exists of this and YA have provided this to Frontera, firstly as part of the settlement with them and subsequently as discovery under court procedures then Hope really has been a very naughty boy and it is no wonder that his defence has been left to the last moment, because what could possibly be said in mitigation.

He has until tomorrow to file his defence and I for one cannot wait to see what it says.

I looked in here more out of habit, it being Boxing Day, than anything else, not expecting to see many posts. Shocked to see more than 100. Again out of habit I started reading and the amount of speculation as to what the past present and future situation might be based on the incomplete knowledge we all have is pointless. The use of the word "obvious" to describe the 'actors' motives in this saga is quite wrong . Ffs nothing is obvious because we just do not know enough.

Ok, whatever turns you on if useless speculation is what you get off on, but don't think there are many words of wisdom here to latch on to.

The sun is over the yardarm somewhere in the world so I'm turning the computer off and going to enjoy a little drink before lunch. I recommend you do the same. You'll feel better for it, honestly!

Lightsleeper - Sometimes if you continue to post what many people on here consider to be total crap, you should expect people to be less than polite - Get over yourself and do something more useful.

Arsenal221 - Agreed!

Over 400 posts and what a mixture of reactions - The good, the bad and the ugly!. I am surprised just how many have either not read the court papers or have just skimmed read and whose understanding of what is going on is poor. Then ,of course we have the trolls. Why they bother when trading is suspended is a puzzle, but then I regard them a weirdos anyway. I have been taken aback by the number of LTHs who have become trembling snowflakes letting their emotions rule their posts while other interpretations seem very wide of the mark.

We all lack complete knowledge of the situation but I have a positive view of the eventual outcome. For those that don't then a decent helping of Christmas spirit in whatever form you prefer will help.

On a more upbeat note, just think of the shorters locked into this now, for them it really is squeaky bum time. If, as is likely, settlement is reached on all counts, they will be the biggest losers by far.

Cairns should have resigned when the court action was first launched as there was a clear conflict of interest.

IchimotoSan - I am always a bit wary of speeches made in any of the European parliaments, but I have to say I was impressed by his knowledge of what makes the Brits tick. It is a great pity that the Eurocrats do not have even a scintilla of the same understanding. Maybe further on in the Brexit process the penny will finally drop. I do hope so.

Zeps - The point I was making was nothing to do with whether it was a sexist remark or not, just the fact that he lied about making it.

Where I live (I.O.M) is not in the EU or part of the UK. That is not to say that we would not be affected by whatever transpires, but as an onlooker I am dismayed by the current situation. Firstly the negotiations have been handled badly from the off and the end deal as you would expect from this is a very poor version of what could have been. However we are where we are as they say and a WTO based exit from the EU should not be feared, but is a challenge that should be risen to. There is an awful lot of misinformation propagated by Remainers about a WTO exit mostly it seems based on ignorance and a snowflake attitude that hugely underestimates the ability of business to rapidly adapt to new situations.
As for a second referendum this should be, if it isn't already, a dead duck. The result of the first has not yet been delivered, so a second would be extremely divisive, not to mention the difficulty of framing the question, so that anyone advocating one, even those that are desperate to stay in the EU, must be trapped in an artificial bubble away from reality.
I was watching Parliament live and therefore looking straight at Jeremy Corbyn when he mouthed "stupid woman". For him to then deny he said it proves to me what a liar he is. I wish I could say I was surprised at this.

mjones727 - You really must be desperate. You and your mates could easily end up on the wrong side of the SEC (I hope) along with Hope. You have got away with your lies for long enough. The bell tolls on the 18th. and it tolls for you all !

Do you mean crapped or crept :)

Rainbow, have your usual cheery word with Tsbs. He's having a bit of a wobble. Never a dull moment here.

1onic - your posts have been as pointless and useless as this one by me.

RR - You supply the feelgood factor for the whole board. Keep up the good work!

As some will know I live in the Isle of Man which is not and never has been a member of the EU and is not part of the UK. However, as an interested observer I have to say that the "deal" that the PM has so far negotiated is a poor representation of what is required. It is not surprising that there have been resignations - there may be more. It is hard to see how Mrs May can hang on to her job. The farce of having two Brexit Secretaries and then undermining them so they have no choice but to resign is the mark of a bad leader not fit to govern. As for those that are calling for a "peoples" vote they are even more divorced from reality.

I look on with interest for the next chapter to commence.

Yes it is quite quiet

Coggy - Do you want to chose another store now that Woolies is closed. If so would that be with or without the dayglo pants!
