ffs. i have a 2cm tumour in my oesophageal cardio junction ( non doctor = joint of windpipe and stomach) 6 biopsys taken to test for the big C. F*ck waiting game now for the lab results. . . not what a fit 49 year old non drinking never smoked guy wants to here. Oh well im a fighter so bring it the **** on, i'll have you in a glass jar on my window cill you little barsteward! Noticed all the posts about fast motors (loved the old rx7), you guys have cheered me up with all that so cheers to all :) I quite fancy a vx220 in bright yellow, pretty quick from what i know, but most have been track cars and ragged to death. Anyone got any experience with those at all? It aint gotta last just fancy blowing a bit of steam off with it.

agree with you old. any more core sampling and the area will look like an aero bar. Am the first to say i know bugger all about this sort of mining, but get the feeling they are stretching out no new news as far as possible to prop the company up. Whats needed are some financial numbers, balance in bank, sales made etc so we can place a value on the business as is and its future prospects given the anticipated obsticle costs such as water. Dont realy need the can kicking further down the road.

billy, stomach mate. ( its hard a hard life in fairness)

appreciate your kind comments :) now if you could sort that sp direction out for me that would be cool.

dividends are not taxed under the capital gains allowances most of the time, (there are exceptions to this however - seek advice from a tax specialist if your shares are your only income and you trade much, hmrc may class you as a business in some cases) they are usually taxed under the dividend tax rules, you have a £2k allowance before tax there currently. if your a normal punter with a job or pension, and trade or invest in shares then highly unlikely you will fall outside the standard CG/dividend rules.

posher motors than me, my latest in order citroen ax 1.5d - slow as f*** but 75 mpg and ran on chip oil citroen berlingo van - was doing up a house and needed a van, 50 mpg peugot 307 1.4hdi - comfy and falling to bits and v slow, 65mpg (wife still drives this after 14 years and 210k miles) vw transporter kombi - i live in Cornwall so its compulsory :) as you can tell im hardly a big spender on vehicles, in fact im tighter than a tight thing tightend up. Might all change this afternoon though - off to hospital for some big C tests. Bad news will equal a fast car of some sort to play with. Keep thar sp rising guys, want £4.10 today.

me too Billy, the range is the limiting factor but it'll be cracked soonish. Couldnt drive one of those ugly looking Zoe or Leafs though even id they went to the moon and back on a charge, like sitting in a pram.

agreed Ifonly. Always good humoured banter on here, not a regular poster but do enjoy reading what you guys post.

leaving this in your capable hands tomorrow, will be enjoying the hospitality of our great NHS for the day, wanna see some nice upwards movement when i check back in on friday.

im happy to be touching the £4 area, got my pot back in play now after a few months of sitting on my hands.

now dont go and say that ffs. Billy will have a coronary

qz, not picked that up about the magnets anywhere but it does make perfect sense from a physics point of view. As for batteries, im fortunate in that i have a family member in a director position in a specialist manufacture/developer of batteries. For obvious reasons im not told the intimate details and i dont invest in his company to ensure no issues, but the long and short of it is that there are alternatives to cobalt and lithium that are being researched with good progress being made. Batteries wont be anything like they are now in five years.

* LME Cobalt Price: https://tmsnrt.rs/2LpswXW By Andy Home LONDON, June 6 (Reuters) - If Elon Musk had his way, there would be no cobalt in any of the batteries powering the next generation of Tesla. At the very least, "we think we can get the cobalt to almost nothing", he told analysts on the company's first quarter results call. Panasonic, which supplies the batteries for Tesla's electric cars, is "aiming to achieve zero usage in the near future and development is under way", according to Kenji Tamura, who is in charge of the Japanese firm's automotive battery business. The two companies are leading an industry race to reduce exposure to the metal even before the electric vehicle (EV)revolution truly builds momentum. It's not difficult to see why. The London Metal Exchange price of the battery input has already rocketed from under $30,000 per tonne at the end of 2016 to a current $86,750. It could go even higher. Cobalt supply is dominated by Democratic Republic of Congo, presenting a volatile cocktail of political, operational and ethical risk. And cobalt from Congo is dominated by China, which has locked down supply chains to secure its own fast-growing battery sector. For relative newcomers, which means much of the European automotive sector, cobalt is the most problematic of all the ingredients in the metallic alchemy of an EV battery pack. But given cobalt is one of the single most important determinants of a battery's stability and performance, can the problem be engineered away? Graphic on LME cobalt price: https://tmsnrt.rs/2LpswXW DRIVING OUT COBALT Tesla and Panasonic are leading the EV field when it comes to minimising cobalt usage. That's primarily because from inception they took a different chemical road to build batteries with the capacity and stability to power an electric vehicle. Panasonic's nickel-cobalt-aluminium (NCA) technology has always used less cobalt than the nickel-cobalt-manganese (NCM) formula used by just about everyone else. And the company has had 10 years experience since the 2008 launch of the original Tesla Roadster to work on its battery chemistry. Benchmark Minerals, a specialist battery research company, estimates that over the last six years Tesla has reduced the average amount of cobalt used in its vehicles by 60 percent from 11 kilograms to 4.5 kilograms per car. That may have been the easy bit. Eliminating it altogether is going to be much harder, Benchmark Minerals argues. It's not going to mean much for everyone else, anyway, given the broader industry adoption of NCM battery chemistry. NCM battery-makers have already begun reducing the amount of cobalt used but it is very much work in progress. The original NCM chemistry used a formula of one part nickel, one part cobalt and one part manganese, or 1:1:1 as it is termed in battery industry jargon. That has already evolved to 5:2:3 (five parts nickel, two cobal

branson, on this we seem to agree, however i would suggest that by taking control of our borders again (or trying to) we are actually proposing to do something about the issue, rather than just accept it as a given while we look the other way.

All in your humble opinion of course Branson, which you are graciously permitted in a democracy, as indeed am I to have the oppoising view. Of course you will undoubtably recall the very minimal amount of work involved in applying for a visa before the EU came along, it was hardly a "long"time ago,. If you cant be bothered to filll in a form then dont travel, simple as. Referendum are the most sensible choice when making any country wide decisions as everybodies voice is heard and carrys an equal waiting. This is called true democracy and something that you dont seem to understand and want to prevent. Unfortunately (for you) your voice and the other 48% was the quieter and you lost the vote. Get over it and move on and SUPPORT your country and make the best of what you deem a bad choice. As for economic projections and arguments, the fact is,and i'll make it simple to understand, nobody KNOWS what the outcomes will be either way, pro or anti, there has been pathetic arguments on both sides, but i dont see any of the doom mongering that was forecast to happen such as housing crash, jobless up, etc etc. Get some optimism in your life you might like it. A grown up would attempt to make the best of any situation, i suggest you move on (or move abroad to your beloved EU) and let the majority of this countrys peoples, thats right the majority 52%, obtain true democracy as is our democratic choice.

Any remainers moaning on about their right for free movement are quite at liberty to obtain a visa as in years gone (just like everybody in the non Eu do) by and exercise their right to movement wherever they want. See ya. Your 'rights' do not trump democracy.

i think you could be right there Riolto, just got to get above the £18 mark and hold there for a bit, but i think it'll happen.

unshackle the plane. We're still parked on the tarmac loading baggage in the hold arguing about paying the pilot more than minimum wage, while the likes of Wizz are Wizzing and Ezj Easying up into the clouds and leaving us behind.

leas you are far to kind, i might take mine out for a cheap bag of chips, when she's finished the cleaning washing etc, mrs DT knows a good deal when she see's one :) I do however like the Ann Summers idea, now that sounds like a plan.

guy on the phone was clearly a stranger to the truth like the BOD. He's paid to dish out optimism on behalf of his client - the BOD. Save the ten pence call.
