I like Blacksheep beer and I like your sentiments! I get excited about a huge engineering project undertaken in a professional manner, with due diligence for the environment, with massive potential for the local and national economy, and in a part of the country I love to visit. I can't get excited by playground spats although on rare occasions they can raise a laugh...GLA

2 directors buying shares and another collaboration this time in luxury goods of some sort...all good...GLA

Seems they are a large, well established company and make new and retread tyres for commercial and private vehicles. They have links to motorsport in Italy and some sort of link to Pirelli. Sounds like a good platform to develop enhanced materials for tyres building on Directas experience with cycle tyres....GLA

Never heard of them but another new collaboration with a truck and bus tyre retreading company which sounds very promising....GLA

Reported shortages of bricks may be helping share price at the moment....nice gains and hopefully more...GLA

Favourable coverage from 2 more brokers today and press comments elsewhere.....GLA

Buy reiterated today for Breedon by SC. With RNS good news running into spring...GLA

Thanks for your comments...applications seem open ended and exciting...and Directa capable of developing in differant directions with appropriate partners...GLA

Before investing in Directa I considered Versarian. Directa has several promising products in different sectors whereas Versarian seems to specialise in thermal management albeit with applications in different sectors. I'm hoping that in the medium term Directa will prove a better bet...anyone got shares in both?

Could the sp be down as the sector has suffered from bad weather this winter?

Pfizer is taking a stake in Allergene for its Car-t knowledge..I wonder if a big pharma company ....maybe Novartis... will take a similar stake in OXB? GLA

Construction sector down further than estimates but BREE not badly down...will hopefully make progress through spring and summer...GLA

Looks like Lagan has some �history�....assuming Breedon have done their homework OK and cherry picking the best bits it would seem they will be safeguarding jobs for Lagan staff and opening new markets within the U.K. and the EU via Ireland...GLA

Perhaps the potential to aquire Lagan answers any doubts about exposure to Carillion...GLA

I e-mailed Breedon a few days ago and asked if they had any exposure to the failure of Carillion. So far I have not received a reply or even an acknowledgement. I understand the information could be sensitive but surely they could muster a response..is that an unreasonable expectation?

Added a million to the grant in my enthusiasm! Duhhh!

Directors buying, Sunday Times tipping and award of 4 million pound grant to OXB in this mornings RNS. GLA

Article on promising pharma companies mentions Novartis and Kymriah but not OXB. Still, could point to a good year....here's hoping.GLA

Showing my ignorance there Jackdaw....thanks for the heads-up! Hoping 2018 is good for oxb..GLA

On top of the good news below I see LT bought another parcel of shares (almost 30 thousand in each of the last four months now) and share price up a smudge...can't be bad!
