I remember saying £13 then missed out on the day it hit. It even fell further if memory is correct. I should have placed a limit order or maybe I did but there was some market mayhem. Cant remember now why I missed, might had been a simple as being out and about on the day busy doing other things. Still, looking like there might be more opportunities ahead

profitseeker, you sound like the very people who got all the extra tax and restrictions placed onto LAD in the first place. I wouldn't gloat on making a buck out of an addicts misery but Im happy to take a bit of extra spare housekeeping if someone fancies the odd flutter. "so in reality the same amount of machines will remain." I doubt it, there are already more restrictions on both the number of machines and new bookies shops being allowed to open. Even if they are sold to another bookie that money will not be going to LAD. Corals metrics look ok but maybe market was expecting more

Spikeyj, what SP when the £ reverts back to more normal levels? Doing well atm on the back of a currency bounce but this might revert later. My divis not being reinvested here atm.

Still increasing a tad

JPTRADER, I agree the market bobs up n down and this will follow. Back to the 50's again today although its recovered a tad (again) Maybe low sixties is a resistance point that its struggling to break. Midway, your a trader maybe you have a view. Sep/Oct often has a wobble in it so maybe low fifties just around the corner.

Im sure every time Buster flaps his wings it adds a couple of £Bn to the market cap and does the opposite when he does his Christmas turkey impression. Maybe the board are watching your posts and gonna start buying back bigger time when it hits your ramp ..... sorry wish list. No point buying em when they were cheap a while back, why pay less than 400 when you can pay 650.

profitseeker, you seem to have listed all the reasons why we shouldnt invest. The public did an outcry and the government acted putting many restrictions and extra tax which also hit the SP. Getting rid of 400 odd shops will cut the amount of these shortly.

:( ............ is it just a over hang from last weeks big deal? or RBC's downgrade. Still a couple of weeks before that pony ride in Donny!

aj, they have reported actual figures a couple of days after those articles. some comment on Ireland "In the Republic of Ireland, post examinership, it was good to see them post a profit and also generate like-for-like staking growth of 9.7% as we pursue a more aggressive promotion-led strategy for our customers." "In the Republic of Ireland, we have returned to profitability. The examinership process last year has left us with a more agile business, able to compete hard on local value and win. And we are able to look forward with a degree of confidence that has, in the past, been difficult to envisage." Debenhams Ireland has also just gone through a similar process with a similar result.

“Look gerry all this Scots and English stuff if not worth falling out about.” I didn’t realise we were falling out about anything. I queried if there was a sports Scotland because I was going to say Sport England which was going to sound like nonsense north of the boarder. In fact there is a sports all four UK countries (leaned something new) which make sense although Id only had dealings with Sport England. Looks like they all use lottery money. “There are enough huffy people on the bbs without any of that stuff on the deb's bb.” You mentioned others winding you up, are you getting me mixed up with someone else? Had a quick read back cant see where I have upset you but soz if I have. “If anybody knows in advance which way the share price is headed here in future, can you let me know early doors”. Its gonna go up and down like most shares but cant say exactly when. The big boys should be coming back to the table soon. LAD sponsoring the festival so maybe I should wait a little longer before selling. Mrs G might like ladies day and the chance to wear a nice frock but not really interested in the ponies. Party in the park sounds good, so enjoy. Not bought any high flying birds but happy memories of some Oasis whilst of the roof of a minibus Back to topic, SP rising a tad did you see a big deal yesterday late on? Maybe the big boys starting early

That yorkshire thing was a previous event, I dont know what the 2016 figures are. We could have had even better results. Lutalo Muhammad lost gold with just 1 second left etc. I think you will find the funding for the sports centre a mish mash of parties, Uni, sports bodies, local council. I would say sport England, do you have a scottish version. Not sure about EU doing that sort of thing. Maybe some local business, do Costa run the cafe? Majority of the population dont do exercise or healthy eating so those that do stand out above the rest. Uni's doing lot more research into lots of tiny improvements, just look at cycling. Some are just awesome Usain Bolt! Midway selling for 3p well I suppose its almost a years divi. Anyway its clawing its way back or will it get stuck like bank holiday traffic

Queeny, I suspect that the clothes themselves should do the selling rather than some supermodel (or not). Someone commenting on how lovely you look and you saying you bought it in "X" might sell more than some expensive advert. Maybe that is why Debs gave you free coffee so you could gab with each other and share top shopping tips. Didnt all the UK punch above it weight regarding medals? I wonder if Standard life would short Standard Life? or is that insider trading! Wonder if Jeremy Corbyn will be logging onto Virgin next time to get some goodies. Maybe he should have stuck to his bike ....... which reminds me!

Midway, I hope your right about leaving the 50's. I noted that shares were expected to be down today and Debs has followed the market. This has been on a high lately and I expect some sort of sideways or down trend to kick in before Santa rally. Just waiting for the next set of bad news for the market. Wonder what was up with LSE website? Emergency repairs, lets hope the SP doesnt need any. Looking like it clawing back some of today's loss.

being used in the new debs campaign. Do they inspire you to buy the same dresses? It doesn't convince me but maybe thats because Im a man. Maybe they should get between the sheets and help Queeny pick hers. Now that might work if I though Id get a supermodel in bed but maybe thats because Im still a man. I suppose it must work otherwise they wouldn't do it. Hopefully someone has an eye on the figures and sales to make sure us shareholders get a bit back. Maybe they should send some dresses to the british bake off contestants too. Seeing some everyday types on tv might just do as well. Do you think I have a role in marketing to offer debs

Sounds like more bad news, its becoming a trend!

volcano it does look good but not so if you bought 3 years ago. 3 weeks its a 10 percent rise and 4 of that yesterday. Was that on the Irish news and saving 1330 jobs? 3 years its 43 percent down. Ok there would be some divis to ease the burden and if you have been reinvesting and compounding maybe a tad more. It goes back to Queenys righter or wronger stance. Wonder what it will be when Mr Market has its next wobble although it was up yesterday when most were not.Must be all those umbrella sales. Still if you can keep that compounding over time maybe even buying 3years ago might be ok

Something I found online re debs Ireland http://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2016/08/thousands-of-jobs-saved-as-debenhams-ireland-exits-examinership Midway will be happy as debs "storms" off into the 60's, time to sell again or is he expecting more. Queeny have got to wait six whole days for my next set of divis, Midway could have bought n sold debs ten times by then. You might be wise buying umbrellas in summer oh and last years waterproofs.

Ireland should be back up and running by Thursday and would have closed 5 of its stores if the process had failed. Over in Rio they added a couple of Silvers to the GB haul. I think that it was Yorkshire, that would have been up there in the medal table if it had been a country last time. Nowt wrong with my clock Queeny maybe someone should tell the weather its summer. Too windy for sailing so an evening in a marquee instead! I read frocks are now not designed to last and should fall apart after a few washes although I thought you ladies only wore them once anyway. Three ladies had the same dress on Saturday evening, they all looked splendid, I dont see an issue with it but I know you ladies do. Maybe debs should do emergency delivery service for such occasions or spilt red wine. Midway, talk of the SP in the 120's long since forgotten. Is the 60's the new resistance level or were you also talking about 50's fashion. I have not looked at Bon the nearest was Boo. I wish Tesco paid the same as the bank, even a low paying one so all credit to Debs now a high yielder! Me, Im bringing the pot back up with my divis until Mr Market falls back again. Like the wind you know it will change sometime even if you dont know when. Oh and Queeny, get the kids a push bike to get to school. It will save time, get em fitter and costs peanuts to run, well a good dish of porridge. Might even get them a medal ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-ukBspc9D0

"Is it possible you were mistaken for a pirate" Well I often wear a bandana so maybe but I had my sunnies on so they cant have recognized me. Some island hopping flights charge by weight after the locals became more obese. Controversial maybe but fair for flights where weight is paramount. Its jolly hockey sticks at the olympics and I see we are having a celebration in .... Manchester. Well its out of London for a change but I doubt Nicola S will be happy. Maybe she can arrange another up your way for British Mr Murray and the like. I hope they have someone with a bucket to follow that horse. Im sure you look lovely and debs are after your purse contents https://www.drapersonline.com/news/debenhams-reunites-the-supers-for-campaign-targeting-women-not-girls/7011295.article

were on the up although how much is overseas visitors taking advantage of the low pound. Plus what are they buying anyway. Hopefully Debs will keep its slice of the pie. From memory they only do trading updates bi-annually so we will have to wait and see. There is not much news on new stores. The one in Wolverhampton is taking shape and those in Ireland are being "sorted" Will the slow down in stores reduce cap ex, therefore dept and increase my divi. Well I doubt it for the divi anyway but it should allow Debs more time to get a grip on the rest of things. Debs SP starting off bright but will she sink late on Friday afternoon
