A decent meal at a London restaurant with wine and a few beers before and after would cost me 50.000 Sphere shares. Jeez have a few of those and I'd be skint......oops I'm already skint!

No doubt shorters are picking over the scraps or whats left of the sp from 0.875 down to current....that c 60m traded. They are the only ones making money as it's been a daily one way downwards sp trade. A license to earn money.

Since wk 34...(the crash inc yesterday)... 102m (72%) shares have been traded and round and round we go....

Only 4 trading days to go as any 'offer' recedes into the background W imo is more than happy with his current position. He will have probably upped his stake in the Ords and most likely owns most of the CPS which likely has had a poor reception / take up from pis. I guess our remaining 4 iis have mopped up those (+ warrants)? What % of the huge vols traded since the crash has ended up with pis I don't know and more to the point will there be a rush for the exits on the 19th? If anyone is interested in taking on Sphere, today would be a good day to show ones hand. I think it's highly unlikely and W wouldn't be interested at the prices being discussed here and elsewhere. So returning to the private sector looks a certainty now. That should in no way effect the running of the Co even if W retains the current board. I hear redundancies have already happened to some of the staff so would expect reductions higher up especially salary wise! We of course will have no say in any matter from the 19th onwards....not that we ever did, so no change there! Shame they did not pull the plug at the EGM, the last wretched squeezing of the life blood out of the Co being orchestrated is not a pretty sight.

1080 Sphere shares for a pint of lager in London! Someone's having a larff......

Massive 31% spread!

Yea I guess W has a few options are unlike pis! We are totally reliant on P becoming a commercially viable device....in time. Will W devote the necessary time & money to achieve this? We have a chance if he does...if not sayonara baby!

Ideagen software continues to gain traction and acceptance. Latest Co's to sign up include...Chelmsford City Council, HK low cost airline, Lion Air, Gartners and Halewood International. The market 'as per' is looking the other way. Good news and sp falls is what most pis expect these days.

Still surprised no one has made an offer for Sphere. To take the Co over the pond might take another £10m investment so considering the vast amounts of cash spent getting us here it's another c 10%+. With Lactate and the auto set up this can only add to Proximas desirability...one would think? Yet to date nothing has surfaced which I'm pretty sure Sphere must disclose to holders...Ok Aim might be different. So must assume we have had nothing in writing. Why one would not want to buy a Co for next to nothing that has had such huge sums spent on its development is a total mystery. Afterall P has only been on sale for 9 months and we cannot know for sure that those 80 hospitals we started out with consider P to be just an expensive toy. Feedback data to HQ will be known to W & Co so perhaps hospitals are now ordering P4+ and he sees demand growing. Would W&E put another £5m in if the outlook was poor? Has any ground work been done by SVB in the US that W thinks P can be commercially successful over there? Was not the plan to have a successful P4 operation in Europe, catapult us into the US market? Has that now been abandoned? I'm looking for positives but at this late stage rather pointless. Not knowing the management structure among other reckonings is a huge quandry for pis. Have not changed my mind. Still intend to throw my lot in with W.... having come this far to jump ship now would be silly and i've done enough 'silly' in the past. So unless a miracle happens before the 19th....

Jeez...just finished watching last night's Sepsis documentary on BBC 1. Pity the poor bloke who survived minus arms legs and a face! FFS! Goodness knows if P4 is any use in the fight against the "silent killer" but the NHS stand condemned from my (lay persons) point of view. Oh well bring on the b/tops they'll sort it out....

Oi Oi rugs!!..bit below the belt!

I'll sign up to ADVN when we're kicked off Lse....I'll still post occasionally on Ideagen, Sportech & Zambeef...not that I'm invested anymore in these but maintain an interest as family/friends are in involved on my recommendation and they have better things to do than waffle on BB sites.

Yea agree Del...Cannot see much of a future while we are quoted and that's why I'm not building any hopes of a 'reasonable' offer..whatever that might be? Resigned myself to valueless future for the next 5 years. Won't be disappointed then will I?

Well done Palace another stop gap free loader of a useless Eng Manager to take charge! What is it with Palace & Eng managers? Oh yea were the only mugs who'll give 'em a job. Kinda like here.

Morning all...LSP?.. think they have slowly been unloading they must have caught a cold on this one. Could be they were not keen on the private Co idea? That's down to 4 iis now. Who knows why iis sell out at a loss? Best guess is they don't want to be tied up in a private Co as opposed to having doubts about the products usability. They of course may think it will never sell enough cookies, if so why hold on to the last minute? Why subscribe at 16 & above if they had doubts about its commercial viability?....Oh I know they are punters just like us mugs! WGAF about them anyways they get it wrong as often as we do. This nonsense about iis are financial geniuses and can do no wrong is baloney.....ask W. Not much bothered (unless an offer comes along) as once we go private your stock is worthless conditional on you finding a buyer of course at an acceptable price...so good luck with that. The countdown continues. Six ( I could never count) trading days to go. Where's our fairy god mother she of magical powers and bringer of good fortune?

Still time for someone to make a cheap offer. Perhaps a bidder has a better handle on what the Co might be worth in 2-5 years. Strange that our nav was c £6m end of March yet 5 months later were worth nuffink! Ok i know nav has nothing to do with mrkt cap, i know from my o...lie experiences. Goodness knows what the intrinsic value is, could be anything so I'm guessing any offer will be below 2.822. Not enough for me and I doubt W whose avc must be 8-10 unless he's been buying sub 1 these last few days. Four days to the end of Sphere as a listed Co, another shameful episode in the UK's "We're NOT backing Britains Companies" (present Co accepted).

BBC 1 tonight (8.30pm).....Alistair Jackson meets the families of some of the est 14.000 people whose deaths from sepsis might have been prevented and hears from the health professionals who are trying to tackle the condition. Sepsis can lead to multiple organ failure and death without quick treatment...so you might think treatment would be a priority....?

Sepsis patients are being failed by hospitals (DT)....missing symptoms and failing to give anti-biotics quickly enough. Figures obtained by BBC Panorama show that 24 acute hospital trusts failed to administer intravenous anti-biotics within one hour to half the patients. Figs also show that 14 acute hospitals failed to spot signs of sepsis in half of patients while around 10 hospital trusts said they were identyfing every suspected case. Sepsis kills 44.000 people in the UK each year. Dr Ron Daniels CEO Sepsis Trust said "the scale of the problem is enormous Sepsis affects 250.000 people across the UK every year and causes more deaths than breast cancer, bowel cancer and prostrate cancer put together" Jeremey Hunt Health Sec said " we definitely have to do a lot better".......Kinda bloody too late mate!. Proxima lactate analyte is designed to be used on Sepsis patients. Will the NHS be bothered? Maybe someone better tell Jeremy. Too late for us as mostly everything is.....

Or.....infamous!

The Dutchman stays for the Southampton game...lose that...see ya!
