We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
All my cash is tied up - not least in Russian palladium. But if it finally pays out anything like the sums bandied about on here I'll cheerfully pay for your jolly tars yarn to printed and all the rum you can swim in

Rowka - despite understandable scepticism when it comes to your self declared CV I have a good deal of respect for your posts and your opinion which lets face it is all that matters. So I ask you, in all honesty, would we still be in this drawn out low priced state of limbo if our precious deposits came under less corrupt and more stable jurisdiction?
Every time I hear Putin has poisoned an opponent or done something stupid to provoke yet another round of sanctions I fear for my EUA investment. It's not the time that it's taking that gives me the jitters. It's the location.

Leon - as if this share ride wasn't thrilling enough you've just gone and added a layer of cloak and daggers worthy of Tom Clancy or Le Carre or even Scooby Doo at its best (not the ones with Scrappy Doo).

Is it safe?

I swear... scroll back to when the sp fell below 18p earlier today and you'll find a fully grown adult on this very board squealing: "Where's Paddy?" It was the adult equivalent of "I want Mummy!" but the really weird thing is... amid the turmoil Paddy had posted some typically reassuring words literally just ten minutes before!
This is the extent to which some newer investors now hang on his every word. Poor guy must be starting to feel like Kim Jong-un and this oh so sickly competition to see who can express their gratitude most ...... guys please... stop it. Stop it now.
Paddy - if you could let me have a forwarding address... my wife and I have just shed tears of gratitude into a glass vial for your feet ... oh and... we've renamed our eldest 'Paddy' after... well...
S'okay. She won't mind
Indy
Hahaha and lol ... these SKIN puns are cracking me up guys - (see what I did there - cracking = cracked-skin) hahaha - keep em coming guys... haha
But where's our King of puns PL75??
Moisturising himself no doubt... hahaha...lol
Abbot and Costello, Morecambe and Wise, Jim and Global, sit down next to me ... and talking of double acts, back in the 80’s I met a lovely lady called Trace from Barnsley who had an adventurous friend called Track... Aye, many a lonely night I thought of trying to track and trace Trace and Track.
They'll be grandparents now and shielding
Life comes at you fast

.... and like clockwork all the Johnny come latelys start claiming how they topped up at 17-something... yeah right. Notice how they never post that at the time
So anyone who thought 30p was just a walk in the Paterson will be feeling a tad sober now
Maybe

(long belated thanks to Paddy, Hyrdo, Merc et al for all their peerless postings)
Just.. just mindblowing Chiron, thankyou.
You see.... anyone daring to suggest that this board lacks intelligence ... read Chiron's last post fer crying out loud.
Then very slowly explain it to me.

Don’t normally get a chance to post during daylight but the dear lady wife being engrossed in a Zoom conference with her chums from the Leeds Womens Arm Wrestling Assoc. (Harehills Branch) has allowed me a short break from house chores to get my Cult of Avacta chant in early...
Avactii – Avactee – Avactaay – Avactaah - (repeat til Richken's £25 a share)
Alwaysweeing – much as it depresses me to read your incessant crowing it would be churlish to deny that of late you’ve called it about right, and since gloating is your only character trait I suggest you enjoy it while it lasts. For like all great epic journeys good will eventually triumph and the naysayers and doomsters will be left gnashing their teeth howling at the moon – (err yeah it’s perfectly possible to gnash and howl at the same time – my wife does it all the time) And lo, as I type I’m 74p up on my @ 1.55 top up yesterday – suck it up doomsters
Bluemoon73 “The majority intelligent people have left this board” – pah! you clearly didn’t read Richar’s searing posts yesterday
Honestly, some people
Indy
Having read through all today’s posts I now have tears streaming from my eyes. It’s my wife – she produces copious amounts of skin dust and with the nights now drawing in I’m not allowed to open the patio doors. But some truly exceptional postings today – thank you - I’d say the best day in several weeks - and not just from the usual big hitters / ultras. And the passion!! Crikey, I was transported back to my wedding night ...til my wife appeared and violently put an end to all that... anyway....
Thank you to the passing village idiots without whom this board would just be a mine of intelligent discussion / information sharing. Thank you to my Lord and Master Ophidian, who like all the best Messiahs doesn’t need to say much or indeed say anything; his mere presence is a comfort during this seemingly endless dark night of the Avacta soul. Thank you to PL75 for drawing my attention to a different kind of SKIN a while ago (noted / happily punted)
I guess... I guess my question to Alistair in the upcoming Webinar would be on very strict instruction from my good lady wife: what colour is our game changing test going to be?
Finally, though it grieves me to admit it, the board's nemesis Alwaysweeing is right... and today rather than cut my investment by 1/3 as I was minded to do I increased it by 1/8 @ 155p bringing my total stake to £177.00. Cult behaviour. I just can’t help myself.

PL75: your Abingdon example is fine so far as it relates to a one-off test that a reasonably intelligent user completes without supervision. But we're not talking about an infrequent test, eg: pregnancy test which involves a comparatively small section of the female - sorry - 'people who menstruate' population. We're talking about a test that virtually every living person, young and old, male and female, gender neutral and trans (don't forget the trans - never forget the trans) will be carrying out with such frequency it will become as second nature as wiping your ar se. And in that case, unlike your Abingdon health example, it won't be remotely 'optional' to offer a 'plastic-free' device just to assuage the odd tree hugger.
If I've understood you and other square-jawed Avacta ultras correctly our test is going to be as ubiquitous as bog roll. Literally. It has to be.
So like bog roll it has be flushable. I can't see how it can be readily / safely disposed of any other way particularly by lazy dimwads like Leeds supporters who don't give a hoot about giant turtles or the environment. And if it isn't flushable then whatever it is it cannot involve a plastic cassette. We'd be buried in em within a month!
And what at an extraordinary challenge all this presents Sir Al.
No wonder he's been schtum.
Where's Caractacus when you need him.
Toot sweets. Toot sweets.

I'm so loathed to part with a single Avacta share that I'm starting to have bouts of complete seriousness.
Thankfully they soon pass but during the latest spasm something serious occurred to me - if the sheer number of saliva tests required to meet demand are anything like the numbers mooted by our Avacta Ultras surely this presents an issue of disposability? Ergo, could at least some of the delay account for having to design, redesign, re-redesign a product that is, for example, flushable? Or at least has the absolute bear minimum of non biodegradable / non recyclable materials?

Jwd is right to be concerned and tonight's announcement of a de facto curfew only reinforces that concern.
I'd be tempted to invest in Cineworld but for one deterrent yet to be acknowledged by most private investors - the increasingly unappealing PC obsessed product coming out of the major studios.
A quick skim through Rotten Tomatoes shows the growing gulf between what your average progressive Critic drools over and what the broad masses are willing to pay and see. What was once the preserve of 'art house cinema' is fast becoming mainstream but garnering nothing like the takings traditional mainstream film pretty much guaranteed. What might win a studio an Oscar nomination just doesn't put bums on seats. Why? Because most working class people won't part with hard earned cash only to be lectured on yet another minorities issue or made to feel crap because of some accident of birth. It's different for middle class critics on an endless privileged guilt trip - they'll happily pay to watch sh i te and to be made to feel sh i te. But why should their tastes be forced on the rest of us?
