Dropzone - "Our country needs someone with balls like Donald Trump. I wish he was running our country."

I wish he was too ...along with Pence, McConnell & Ryan. Then we'd be free of them! God Help America!

spyonthe wall "Britain was happily minding its own business trading with the world until confronted by the despotic Germans a couple of times in the early half of the last century".

You seem to have forgotten that in the previous centuries (before Federal Germany was created) you had a problem with the French. Fortunately Napoleon also got it wrong and paid the price in the Russian winter around 1812 or so. Nice one, snige, reminding us of the repeat version in WWII.

Before that, when England still held a chunk of France, you had a great time knocking off Spanish treasure ships. Either way for a thousand years you were rather committed to your own brand of imperially ruling (and exploiting) the lands of others.

My impression is that many in "perfidious Albion" think of the USA as some kind of errant child of their descent. However the "English" do not form the largest ethnic group on my side of the pond. We have had some 20th Century heroes....Roosevelt, General Eisenhower, Admiral Nimitz ....not exactly British chaps by their surnames.. Right now, in the corridors of power we have McConnell, Ryan (Irish - they always spell "trouble"don't they?) and imho worst of all...Trump (what do you expect - his granddad was German!) Just for the record my great-great ancestors were Yorkshire/Ulster ( eyyup to be shure).

Let's face it, maybe you were never suited to be part of the rest of Europe anyway and in any position less than "top dog" in any form of federation or economic union. De Gaulle evidently thought so. My own opinion is that your delegates to the EU should have been more vigorous in erasing some of the crazier trends in Brussels and you should have voted to "remain" while you sort those foreigners out good and proper. The good outcome of the European Union has been all the years of peace with your neighbors.

I've migrated from iii too. Looks like Mickey Mouse took over there. Once I had investments in GFM 5 years ago. Say no more ....patience ain't just a virtue - it's a bluddy great profit. Well done all those who've "stayed the course".

I hope, VanVan that someone here in due course will apprise or give a fair opinion on the coming AGM. I won't be there 'cos it is a 10,500 miles round journey, I especially dislike air travel and I can't (yet) afford upgrading beyond economy class . I do have concerns though and note the recent views from Kerim... "We acknowledge the continuing disconnect between our share price and the value of our assets when assessed in terms of the in-situ value of our resource and reserve ounces. On this basis alone, irrespective of any cash flow from Kiziltepe, we believe the share price should be multiples of the current level. However, whilst general market sentiment is not something we can control, we remain confident that true value will be recognised in the long term". I don't want to open up the recent discourse again (involving in4cedros). The subject has been well-aired and in the past I have expressed some not dissimilar observations over perhaps 24 months on iii discussion board. Nevertheless there are two distinct matters of personal concern. Firstly, I place the blame for the fall in our share price directly resulting from the sudden placing at a time when instead we were all expecting the first gold pour followed by an instant hype of investor interest. Such sentiment was instantly killed and, in my view, mistrust immediately set in. For that reason I think cash flow from Kiziltepe is essential and how it is used is highly relevant to investor confidence and increasing share price. Secondly, I am somewhat offput by Kerim using the words "in the long term". I have been invested here over 3 years and yourself longer, yet we are nowhere near the "multi-bagger" forecasted by many for last Christmas! I am ageing and "long term" is not something I want in my portfolio. So, I will now set myself a target of a 2p minimum share price before the end of this year and I don't want to see any more "rewards" until we hit 5p per share. (we're already seeing too much of that by "Zorro" at Lloyds Bank! )

Sorry VanVan, I can't even find any thread now. iii is clearly being fixed by Mickey Mouse! Can't make "head or tail"of it or find any recent post(ers) under AAU search anymore.

ooops sorry --- I meant US Safeway. ( not Sainsbury)

USA Sainsbury sells strong Welsh Cheddar....oooo ahhhhhhrrrrr, bach!

Thanks for the Welcome, Paul. No posts from Dic since last week (and that related to a Kingston company matter. Have only checked a few specific chats on iii. A lot of folk are upset with the changes but are mostly waiting to see if things get greatly improved. Some admit to being regulars on here and/or advfn. I checked out the possibility of trading here as well but it appears to be a no-no since Uncle Sam's regulations appears to have put them off (lmao). Maybe el tRumpo will get rid of such "inconveniences" while he's filling - oops I mean "draining the swamp.

I've deserted iii and I'm sure there are other similar "refugees" here...but their "handles" (monikers) may have changed from previous. Mine has not but I may not yet recognize you. To lse "regulars" I'm saying hello.. I'm also on the other side of the "pond" with a sunny noonday temperature of 105F (or around 40C in your money!)
