My Dad also would not eat mushrooms (or watercress) and he also had a small collection of gold coinage. Sovereigns and old Austrian Empire. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and as John pointed out my former Aston Martins would be worth a lot of dollars. My father bought a beautiful home in the Cheshire countryside just pre-WW2 for around 35k GBP. I've just discovered it was sold recently for 3.5 million GBP. That's over 4.5 million bucks now. I don't think I should dwell on hindsight. When I was a kid a US dollar cost half a crown! He also had a nice home in Brussels, but it needed some work after its former somewhat "temporary" Waffen SS inhabitants had been evicted.

Yes John, Your Royals have wedding rings made from Welsh Gold.

In fact I actually went into the Glogau Mine in the 90s (before it closed). Currently there are persons considering the viability of opening up former Roman gold mines in Wales. However the estimated cost of production is way above the costs anywhere else in the world which kinda puts would-be mining somewhat at a disadvantage. There are lead and copper deposits too and I have recently bought a few shares in Anglesey Mining (they have copper deposits in their owned Parys Mine - but their track record over the years ain't so good). Enjoy your weekend ya'all. We're rather too warm over here coast to coast - up to 120F in the west and 90sF my side - but with very high humidity so no one is too keen on gardening and my city is spraying regularly 'cos of mozzies.

Hi John. You are right about AM prices, my friend. I did have a DB5 around 1961. Yes it could go like the clappers to get around a long convoy of caravans heading for the West Country but its biggest problem was tires. It wasn't designed for radials and generally owners resorted to fitting Avon Turbospeeds. But you still had to beware of cornering. Mine got badly damaged by an errant bus and repairs took a long time. You were paying for hours of work by skilled craftsman. All that hand beating and coats over paint on what was essentially a load of metal tubes fastened together. Yer feet got very hot in the well ,with the motor right alongside, you could hardly walk after using the clutch in heavy city traffic and the window regulators were frequently failing. Yes they turned heads but my BMW 3.0CSI proved far more practical and much cheaper to run..

I see AAU is complying with your overall forecasts. Promising RNS plus Kerim expressing pleasure and down goes the SP. I think you were right about the amalgamations with Ozalid and I reckon hell will freeze over before they actually go down as far as the "super vein" below Salinbas. Meantime I've just taken a 200 quid punt in Anglesey's Parys Mine. Lol. (AYM have been a yo-yo for the last decade but I've made a few pennies over the years). Otherwise I'm keeping well away from AIM. Cheers, DJ

My first car was a 1947 Rover 12. Comfy but sluggish. My next Rover was a 2000TC in 1966. Great car, I did 8000 miles around Southern Europe in the first month. I replaced it 3 years later with an Aston Martin DB6. The Rover proved a lot less trouble!

"shempsky" : tzipi livni's parents were members of irgun, a militant jewish group that fought for the foundation of israel. in due course livni was commissioned in the idf and later served in the mossad . however later in life tzipi underwent a shift in her views. while she served under sharon, the governing likud party suffered an ideological split. many, including both sharon and livni, embraced a two-state solution as the only way to preserve a jewish and democratic character of the israeli state. to that end, as a member of sharon’s inner circle, she helped plan israel’s unilateral withdrawal from the gaza strip in the summer of 2005.

as i personally recall, livni landed in london on an official diplomatic mission in later years but was advised by mossad agents to remain in her plane because her former connection with that post ww2 organization might cause her to be arrested if she disembarked. accordingly she returned directly to israel on that occasion.

i find it interesting that you quote the newspaper "expose" . the exposé (formerly known as the daily exposé) is a british conspi****** and fake news website created in 2020 by jonathan allen-walker, a welder from s****horpe. it is known for publishing covid-19 and anti-vaccine misinformation . twitter suspended the site's main account, but it created several alt accounts to evade its ban. following its second ban, the site relied on pairs of alt accounts to avoid losing all of its followers or the ability to tweet, and accused twitter of censorship. "logically" , a british anti-disinformation research organisation, said that the exposé "was unique both for producing a high volume of original content" and for "[trying] to make it look like they were doing hard-hitting investigative journalism" instead of "twisting the facts to suit conspiracy theories."currently is appears to be lacking support and is actively campaigning online with " buy me a coffee and gofundme "

so, "shempsky", stop stirring the sh*t and stay down your rabbit hole ! enough is enough. i haven't got a ferret and i'm not wasting anymore of my time debating your issues - so i'll just apply the filter option.

The real Noel Shempsky (as portrayed by US Actor in a TV series):

Noel appears to be your typical nerd. He lives with his mother and has little luck with the ladies. He is obsessed with Star Trek and has attended many conventions. He has the autographs of all the Star Trek captains, although William Shatner has put a restraining order on Noel preventing him from going within 500 feet of him. Noel has a picture of Captain Kirk on his desk and often gives out Vulcan salutes. He's also trying to write an English - Klingon dictionary and likes to translate Karaoke songs into Klingon.

Noel is deeply in love with Roz and really wants to be her boyfriend. Although she doesn't fancy him, he keeps trying by giving her presents or auctioning to help her behind the scenes of the Frasier Crane Show. He suffers from night-blindness and can also faint at will.

Kinda fits you, dude, dunnit? Someone please chase him off this Board before I have to filter the twat.

Shempsky - Baby Bush was President in 2005. Didn't he do a great job! (lol)

The Deep State is a conspiracy theory which asserts as its organizing principle that there is an unauthorized, secret network of Federal employees operating independently of the Federal government and directly in opposition to the elected political leadership. Those who hold tightly to this conspiracy believe the purpose of the deep state is to deny their leadership the ability to implement their policies.

It’s important to note that the idea of a “deep state” exists only in the fevered brows of Republicans when they are in power and they believe that somehow, somewhere, someway, a federal employee, who is a registered Democrat, is thwarting their plans for world domination.

Read all about him! Changed his position maybe more times than the "Vicar of Bray" and earned lots of roubles working for RT (Russia).

I stayed some time in Clacton-on-Sea. Like neighboring Frinton it was a real den of imperialists ready " to fight them on the beaches ". Lots of East Enders retired to the coast after their beloved Tower Hamlets started to be more like a suburb of Dhaka. No wonder Farage (ugh!) finally made it to Parliament on his eighth ( I think ) attempt as the Reform Party Candidate. Not my type - I've still got my T shirt " Stay In" from the Brexit era.

Your rumor is wrong Bankrupty. I spent so many years in the Mohave Desert that I turned brown not orange. I don't play golf, I've got snow white hair, I don't lie as often and I detest "fast food" so I'm in good shape . I have two faithful pets - a young Smith & Wesson and an old WW1 Mauser.

Sterling is holding steady, gold is up and Ariana's share price has improved a little. A good day all round!

Experts? Someone's 'avin a larf ! Have a Great Weekend Deano enjoying Sir Keir Starmer's win - well I forecasted it to you about 2 years ago, Old Bean. I suppose Le Pen is right up up your alley

Sorry Bankrupty. I was just "messing" with you (in a friendly way) because a while ago we had slightly different opinions of gold demand. At the time there were some very extravagant forecasts being made on here about imminent rises and recently NoelShempsky drew our attention to a quote from a Michael Oliver who suggested Gold was going " parabolic" . We have had regular forecasting here in recent years that Gold price was imminently going through the roof even to suggestions that Russia and China were buying vast quantities to force the demise of the US Dollar as a leading world currency.

Gold has indeed risen, but hardly " rocketed" . Additionally, I am not swayed by the opinions of Winnifrith and other " gurus" or stock "tipsters" and believe DYOR the best way to invest in stocks. My reference to Omaha and leprechauns was rather mischievous because Omaha, NE is not generally favored for finding gold and since you are from the "Emerald Isle" you will understand where one might find a pot of gold ! I will most certainly take a serious look at your suggestions though. Other than that you could well be on track buying AAU around 2p but it could take a few years to develop the projects Dr. K has outlined . Regards, DJ

Finally I have a slight personal problem. The Eire Government has now extended its citizenship right back to those whose great great parents were born on the island of Ireland. I could well qualify under this rule except I cannot produce my great grandfather's birth certificate (probably Co. Down or Antrim. The official records were destroyed when the IRA blew up the relevant documentation, formerly held in Dublin) in 1922. The Catholic & Protestant baptismal records (pre 1845) would be acceptable but I believe my relatives were Scottish and probably Reformist and lawyers are suggesting I might want to fund around $6000 to (maybe) learn more. Maybe I'll just keep researching myself. My son-in-law (although ethnic Welsh) was born in Lisburn

and got his Irish passport within a month which was very useful as he is a consultant working generally within the EU area.

I do hold stock in Barrick and in Sandstorm but for rather obvious reasons I am also invested in both BA and in RTX.

Hey Bankrupty! Maybe this guy has found the Leprechauns' stack in Omaha!

" Obfuscation" , John? (now wipe your chin!) That sounds rather mysterious and high tech.. I think I prefer our version " Discombobulation" . That kind of sounds like you feel when you're disoriented: bouncing around in several directions at once. Cheers, DJ

I've added Shempsky. He'll probably clog the filter with his defecations!

C & B (and John). Like I said a little while back I dumped my remaining shares in this lot as soon as they went over 2.5p again. I admit I had bought in again last Christmas with all the hype on here and RNS (usual " pleased to" etc). I can see Dr. K looking for directorships elsewhere and further improving lifestyle. Dunno whether you've noticed but that Harry -Agnosti (or whatever his suffixed name is), associated with the fantastic Venus project , hasn't exactly shined with his Kefi company (looking back at their charts). Then there's Kosovo for a big office choice and all those Serbs really upset about losing their former Province. No need to remind you that they have much sympathy from the Russian Federation (which is now mostly just Pootin & Lukashenko). Kerim should have based his "Western" office in Istanbul. As to Salinbas - well it is rather a difficult terrain and climate to cope with so don't reckon on income for a long time. Maybe it will be sold off!

Good Afternoon John. I guess you jinxed it ! RNS and now down again.

Other than that I'm getting problems with this web page. Don't know if it's all LSE or just AAU. Lots of ads appearing. As fast as my " killers" get rid, they come back. Some even promise to remove themselves in seconds. They do but return instanter. Only on my LSE website. Real pain so if it continues, I'll get my stock info on Schwab (US) or ii (UK). ! The MaggaManiac over here has a face like a thundercloud! (lol). Putin's Poodle on this chat site might at last be seeing his God-Emperor running bare. And our Fourth of July might be quite interesting!

Cheers and have a good weekend, Ya'All. DJ

Pleased to see you on here, C & B. After cricket has finished it'll be "footie" time again and I wish you and your team the Very Best to progress upwards. Over here, our gals have been having a lot of success at soccer and it is gaining popularity. Obviously our USA dwelling hispanics are glued to the teams in Central and South America but after schooling in Wales I was brought up on the need to reach H-shaped goal posts (lol). I guess my choice over there has generally been Liverpool and Man. City.

I'm totally out of Ariana these days and so far have done very well with RTX (NYSE). But I will monitor AAU from time to time (NYSE) and, if there is a very clear signal that the Company is "on the up", possibly shelling out dividends and doing a helluva lot more than throwing out verbal " bones" or interminably drilling ad infinitum, I might even consider another Punt one day (but not if it's gonna take donkey's years to earn something worthwhile). Take care, my friend.
