Bit overdone maybe ? not as dramatic as people seem to think , we've already been below this level earlier this month and recovered .Suspect we will do again . Still a bit to go and I doubt we've seen the last of the bad news but there are signs that things are slowly improving , with the emphasis on slowly . It's a big loss but not the biggest we've had in the last few years . McEwan has already stated that the restructuring would take until 2020 with dividends being restarted in 2017 , excluding government interference ,the economy crashing or adverse global inluences , that's probably still about right but who really knows , lol.

Is that post in code ? Lol.

Had to look up Messi , lol. Your kidding ? ... Your a knowledgable guy , he's world famous , and as Michael Caine said " now that I've got a computer I know everything .....not a lot of people know that " but I've a feeling you do. Lol.

"Nice fishing river" ,...... that's a bit like saying Messi's not a bad player lol.

Morning , hope you and your son enjoy the game , must be a TB ,Kelso's not exactly round the corner from Ibrox , lol Looks like things are going to be a bit volatile over the next few months , good for trading if you catch it right , sore on the pocket if you don't . As you say DYOR ...cause you can't trust " anyone" . ATB

A box at Rugby Park ? .....Thanks but no thanks Traveller , rather have a Killie pie , lol .....world class mate .

Be good to see us back in the prem ., fingers crossed . Been damaging to Scottish football not just Rangers . As for meeting up at Ibrox ,I'm afraid I now live in Taunton , bit far for a home game , lol. Nice thought though . ATB

3 years max ....hope that's a box at ,Old Trafford ,Anfield , Ibrox , the Emirates etc ,etc , etc . ATB

Getting close to that gap ....not out the woods yet even with the fairies. Lol.

Still believe in fairies mailman , ? ...lol.

Another nice jump up but opened on a gap .....mmmm?

Now that doesn't happen often on here . Can't see any particular reason for it .Anyone any suggestions ? Could it be in anticiipation of the Fed. holding off on any further rate increases , normally that would be good for banks but the last increase dropped the market , everything got dragged down .

Petition signed purely because of the number of people on the boards who get uptight re. recording of buys and sells . GL with it .

Two words ..the market and globalisation . .........Canny lass , yer mam .

Your post made me realise I knew very little about the construction of the bridge , shamed me into looking it up . Designed by two English engineers , .....ouch , construction was undertaken by a consortium of British engineering companies with the steel , (not wraught iron as per the Eiffel Tower ,) being supplied by Seimens and a French company . Couldn't find any specific details re. the work force but I'd imagine they came from all parts of Britain and Ireland plus some from the continent .

Didn't know about the one in the midlands , must be many places on the mainland that would be suitable even allowing for summer water shortage . Similarly must be a number of places where tidal schemes could be set up even if it does mean subsidies and , asuming we build them ourselves , I'd much prefer that as opposed to Hinkley .

Hydro's been on the go for many years in Scotland , visited the hydro scheme at Loch Awe a number of times. No idea how much it contributes nationally but significant percentage I guess . Lots of small schemes in Scotland, seems to be a growing market , some use the same water over and over as it drops through different levels . Good use of resources methinks.

Your not wrong ,onshore storage pretty much full to the brim I believe . It's quite a complicated picture at the moment not just about the Saudl's refusing to cut production . Two main factors in recent years have been the slow down in global demand and the ramp up of shale production in USA this lead to their suppliers having to move into different markets to maintain economic stability. As these countries are all pretty oil dependent nobody cut production , so supply grew and prices plummeted . Great for consumers not so good for the oil industry , investment has been dramatically cut, rigs are being closed and something like 250,000 employees have been paid off . Can't go on forever. Mailman makes a good point , in future the dependence on oil will be much reduced. The recent Paris agreement signalled that . Climate change makes it a necessity , even the Saudi's recognise that .I believe they've started to invest heavily in electrical energy production and renewables . Obviously things won't change dramatically overnight but the next couple of decades are going to be very interesting .

Always knew you had a sardonic sense of humour , lol. ...... If the oil price holds at this level , maybe pushes on a bit , China comes up with some decent figures , the central banks hold rates and DC comes up with something a tad more positive to reassure the markets .....maybe ?!!!.

for the blip up , tempting to say this may have bottomed ,..........but ????. Still , nice to see a bit of a rise .
