Hi folks
I haven’t come back for BPC - it will be what it will be – I come back for a word of a genuine cautionary note to my genuine friends here:
IMHO we are about to experience something potentially quite cataclysmic:-
a) A stock market crash as bad as 1929. Worth bearing in mind that the only folks who owned stocks then were about 1% of The World population – we all own shares now directly or indirectly through pension funds etc. – where’s your OAP fund invested?
b) A recession that will potentially be as bad as any other including the fact that the current generation have never experienced any real economic setbacks. Panic will be significant due to incumbent lethargy + mum and dad bank will be shut. I am not being trite, I’m being advisory and sincere.
c) MOST Nations are effectively bankrupt after The 2008 Financial Crisis and as was evidenced by the recent EU difficulties in agreeing new financial packages to support Pandemic stimulus – the richer Nations are reluctant to support the poorer Nations during the bad times because they are not buying their products as they can’t afford them anymore.
N.B. The UK – the 5/6th richest in The World owed ½£ TRILLION in debt.
Today it owes @ least 4 times that and probably 5 times after CV19.
d) The European Hinterland which evolved since WW11 is breaking up – ergo the economic rationale is disappearing – ergo – Germany will look after itself particularly as Angela is looking quite shaky figuratively and literally.
e) The US is probably headed for a Democratic Govt with the biggest debt ever in history, which is a bit like a spendthrift with a Cheque book and no pen!
Be very careful my friends - IMHO it’s going to get ugly – I see it daily escalating on social media and they don’t have a clue what’s potentially really going on!
Be very careful and don’t take risks

Hi Folks
I have stepped back from this forum in recent weeks as the input has become desultory.
The merger for which I was 50/50 – seeing the merits of creating a “CARRIBEAN” OILCO for the reasons of strategic regional development and financial impetus I got that.
However the LTH – 10 year prospective hitting “GOLD” was a bit tough to swallow. Primarily cos I bought into a gamble.
I already own Amazon, Microsoft, Sainsbury’s, Intel, Tesco, etc for my safe Co-op divi and don’t need to extend my investment criteria/window/etc from someone else’s choice.
That being said – hopefully around for a few more years and grandkids will without from BPC!
Now then – this forum - until the last few months has been a superb board – full of incisive educated commentary and most importantly WIT AND REPARTEE.
Occasionally we have had the odd invitee who has proved to be a tad vitriolic – however a few of the old guard have managed to sway them into like minded – kind and considerate commentators.
Almost coincidentally with CV19 (note to self – wear a mask when typing) a pandemic of new experts appeared on the scene who are the antithesis of what we attempted to preserve as a forum I.e. kind and considerate discussion.
Apparently we are all going to LANGHAMS now which is a hotel and certainly not The Brasserie to which I invited my FRIENDS.
I have frankly had enough of these “experts” so am off as this has actually become the old II board which has been vilified and was the reason why UNCAS started (quite rightly) a Facebook site for BPC ers in order to manage cerebral input.
On other Boards LSE is now referred to as a joke because of the incessant bickering!
Good luck to you all – I will be in touch with my real friends here – P_I, BRYN, YONNY, etc. for Amarone/BEEF/HORSERADISH etc.

Hi folks.
Worth bearing in mind that EU is trying to get IIs on board to REPLACE expensive current funding sources. I.E. no more dilution for current project – PERS1.
Merger dilution is different but specified and still to be voted on.
Future projects will be “dilution” on merit.
AIMHO of course.

Sorry folks couldn’t resist posting this to my friends:
This is brilliant. Pay special attention to the wording and spelling. if you know the bible, even a little, you'll find this hilarious! It comes from a Caithness school test.
Kids were asked questions about the old and new testaments. The following 25 statements about the bible were written by children. They have not been retouched or corrected. incorrect spelling has been left in.
1. In the first book of the bible, Guinness. god got tired of creating the world so he took the sabbath off.
2. Adam and eve were created from an apple tree. Noah's wife was Joan of ark. Noah built and ark and the animals came on in pears.
3. Lots wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night.
4. The jews were a proud people and throughout history they had trouble with unsympathetic genitals.
5. Sampson was a strongman who let himself be led astray by a Jezebel like Delilah.
6. Samson slayed the philistines with the axe of the apostles.
7. Moses led the jews to the red sea where they made unleavened bread, which is bread without any ingredients.
8. The egyptians were all drowned in the dessert. Afterwards, Moses went up to mount cyanide to get the ten commandments.
9. The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple.
10. The seventh commandment is thou shalt not admit adultery.
11. Moses died before he ever reached canada then Joshua led the hebrews in the battle of geritol.
12. The greatest miricle in the bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him.
13. David was a hebrew king who was skilled at playing the liar. He fought the Finkelsteins, a race of people who lived in biblical times.
14. Solomon, one of Davids sons, had 300 wives and 700 porcupines.
15. When Mary heard she was the mother of Jesus, she sang the magna carta.
16. When the three wise guys from the east side arrived they found Jesus in the manager.
17. Jesus was born because Mary had an immaculate contraption.
18. St. John the blacksmith dumped water on his head.
19. Jesus enunciated the golden rule, which says to do unto others before they do one to you. He also explained a man doth not live by sweat alone.
20. It was a miricle when Jesus rose from the dead and managed to get the tombstone off the entrance.
21. The people who followed the lord were called the 12 decibels.
22. The epistels were the wives of the apostles.
23. One of the oppossums was St. Matthew who was also a taximan.
24. St. Paul cavorted to christianity, he preached holy acrimony, which is another name for marraige.
25. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony.

STILL THOUGHTS:
• Still have a fence post in my Artemis re merger.
• Still awaiting more news which I believe will be forthcoming.
• Still in Lockdown.
• Still have a Still disSTILLing gin in the garage – Bryn – other varieties are available.
• Still talking to Roger the robin and Percy the pigeon – no news yet.
• Still think we are fully funded despite comments to the contrary.
• Still think many folks here are electioneering re merger vote..
• Still believe in both Boards that they know a damn sight more than me about what’s going on.
• Still being patient.
• Still staying calm despite being stir crazy.
• Still waiting for 5 o’clock for first weekend drink.
• Still trying to decide on Kobe or WAGYU.
• Still debating normal or HOT horseradish.
• Still debating whether folks who abuse the lockdown rules should have their NHS rights rescinded and should be made to pay private rates. That might stop ‘em or think twice.
