Greenbuds,
You should see your doctor if you have persistently foamy urine, it may mean you have a kidney problem :-)

Thanks, Mac, you have explained the forward path well,

I just wasn't sure you realised the Gazprom angle was not quite as green as it might first appear, but you have described your current stance on this very well.

I'm all for the Hydrogen future, but just thought the steam treatment of Methane might not be a good green path, but you have described and made a good point!

Thanks for your reply!

All the best mate, cheers.

Morning Mac,

Just a point,

As Gazprom are a gas company, I read this as another way to use their gas!

"The Agreement aims to, inter alia, accelerate the advancement of natural gas-based technologies in the area of hydrogen energy, as well as to create pilot projects"

The most common way to produce Hydrogen is by the steam treatment of Methane, this process may not be very green?

Just pointing out as you may be thinking differently!

All the best mate.

Morning Frutsels,

"I am trying to work out my capital gain tax for my shares in my normal account (so not in an ISA). My question is how on earth do people work this out? I have been selling and buying shares quite a lot in the tax year 2020-2021 and I am not sure whether there's an easy way to work out the gain? I am using Halifax but can't really see a document that relates to the profit I made? How does everyone calculate this? Thanks in advance :-)"

This can of worms has been talked about before!

It gets even more complicated if you have repeatedly sold and rebought the same stock -'The 30-day rule'

Also, if you have repeatedly sold and rebought stock, it is very quick to go over the amount that you can sell WITHOUT setting yourself up to HAVE to do an HMRC self-assessment TAX return! ( just starting mine now, actually)

I use 'Timetotrade' to work out my dues to the TAX man for my share dealing account.

You just enter the date when you bought stock and at what price,

and then enter the date you sold the stock, and at what price,

This takes into account the 30-day rule, share splits, consolidations, losses set against gains, and previous losses ( if previously declared) etc,

Very easy to use and helped me work out all my BT share saves going back to 1985! as I had sold some along the way!

It then provides you with an HMRC headed SA108 form that you just upload when filling out my HMRC Self Assessment TAX return.

It is not free but does provide a great service!

Good luck.

Nicely said BlueSideUp, recommended, John is a valued and missed shipmate, wishing you a speedy recovery JT, all the best mate.

Good morning SaxonAxe and all,

Good luck chaps!

As investors in this 26-year-old company that is transitioning from explorer and into a small-time producer of valuable PGMs we have everything to play for!

The companies future outlook looked so good that several banks propositioned the company to offer to try and sell IT, or parts of IT, on a no win no fee basis!

Since then, major players such as UBS and D L A Piper are on board!

The company is steadily getting on with the day job, increasing its acreage, and, ramping up production with the addition of a further TWO new washplants, and new earthmoving equipment, soon to be supplemented by an electric dragline to massively increase production, whilst simultaneously making the job more GREEN and reducing its dirty footprint!

Everything the company has said it will do, it has done!

The time some things take to do, take longer, than we as investors, sitting outside of the closed shop board room, might like!

Time is a relative thing, and we do not know what to relate the word SHORTLY to!

If you only had a life span of 24 months, you would expect the word shortly to relate to a time span in hours!

If you had a life span of 100 years, you would expect the word shortly to relate to a time span of less than a year!

Somewhere in between, I think, is about right for a 26-year-old company :-)

Just put your feet up and relax, the news will come one day you can be sure!

Will it be today, who knows!

Good luck all.

Good evening all,

Bad luck everyone, no RNS!

Alex Quinney's JustGiving page for the British Heart Foundation has now exceeded £4,303 a fantastic effort from EUA supporters and their friends!

Have a lovely evening all, catch you all tomorrow, cheers.

In Memory of Sir David Amess, Southend - on - Sea will be given city status!

The Queen has agreed to grant Southend - on - Sea city status in a tribute to Sir David Amess!

SeaSick, I am very sorry to hear of your plight and that you have had to shut down your business, it must be awful for you, and I wish you well in getting back up on your feet if you can? these past two years have bought many hardships for everyone, but some have certainly been hit harder than others.

All the best for the future matey.

Still, 45min for that ooh RNS to drop today.

My use of the word spoils was the wrong word to use, but you get my drift, the earth and suchlike containing the PGMs which would be dug up and then put through the washplant to extract the valuable PGMs.

Sorry for that!

Morning Panderman,

"When does the mining season end in Russia?"

That could be treated as a two-part question,

The company has recently stated it hoped to dig up the spoils all year round,

But, the washplants will only run as long as the water doesn't freeze!

Hence the two-part answer,

Hope that gives you something to go on,

All the best.

Good morning all,

A very sad weekend in the news, this pointless stabbing of Sir David Amess, the attacker inflicted no less than 17 stab wounds into his victim, and remained at the scene with his weapon, in cases like this the justice system should throw the book at them!

Becky and I went and paid our respects and visited the floral tributes that had been laid in respect, the wording on the poignant floral tributes to this gentleman brought tears to our eyes, hundreds, held a candle light vigil nearby Saturday evening. RIP Sir.

On a happier note, Alex Quinney ( EUA Investor) has set up a 'JustGiving' page to raise money for the 'British Heart Foundation' so far he has raised £3,271 from 162 supporters!

A very worthy cause:-

Good luck everyone,

Hoping for a BLUE day for EUA, we know the news is due soon, will it be today?

Afternoon AgentB,

The Mazda MX5 is the nearest thing to the British sports cars of old, lightweight, fun, and, rear-wheel drive!

Keep on enjoying the moment while you can!

I don't want an electric car either :-)

Enjoy what's left of the weekend, cheers.

Yep, same here, a very good cause Alex!

Is Watford Gap the North / South divide?

Or is it more like Hadrian's Wall :-)

Just curious :-)

Very good cause.

Morning BBTablet,

Thank you for that very useful link, I will give it a go!

Cheers.

It was given a facelift! and it no longer looks like a Frog! from the front:-)

The switches are not sticky, electrically, the rubberised covering of the switches is what is sticky, are you saying Carbon tetrachloride, the old Servisol switch cleaner will clean up the sticky rubberised coating, if so thanks for that tip :-)

Hi Woltan,

I've always liked small cars and used to have several tuned Hilman Imps, they were always fun to race!

As I've got older, getting out of a low slung car such as my mate Clives Jag is farcical!

The Panda is just so easy to get into, and out of, and just right for around town!

The Multipla New shape, 2007, is lovely for long-distance, with all the visibility, practicality, and comfort, I require, the high up commanding driving position makes it so easy to get in and out of and being Diesel 600 miles range!

Doing my own repairs it has been cheap to run, my only disappointment is the lovely rubberised switchgear which has over time gone all sticky to the touch, seems this sticky switch problem affects lots of more expensive cars such as Jags, Mercedes, etc, so shouldn't complain, and I might even be able to cure it one day!

Same as you, if I ever wanted a flash car for some occasion I could afford to rent it for the day :-)

All the best & Good luck Sir.

Afternoon Woltan,

"4 new tyres for my Panda"

A man after my own heart :-)

You have your Panda Trekking,

I have my Panda 4wD :-)

What more do we need, all the best!

A very sad evening everyone,

My thoughts go out to his wife, family, and friends, he was a lovely gentleman, RIP Sir David Amess, taken before his time.

Enjoy the weekend break everyone, cheers.

Would never ever think of stabbing someone, the knife was a functional tool for cutting string or whittling wood, if someone you didn't like turned up you would punch them!

Not stab or kick someone!

How times have changed .....
