Well I'm in cbx @ 9p lol.
I tend to invest mainly, but in todays sentiment based market maybe trading with the herd would be a better bet.

Sadly no. It was my main pension investment, and also my first, from 2011, hence my avatar.
Lost about £20k, which might not seem much, but it was to me at the time.
My next biggest pension investment was 3.6m shares in frr. :-(
So now I rely on the state pension which doesn't allow much room for investing...

Nom. When I was invested in SXX, one of the selling points of the polyhalite was that it was a slow release into the soil, and would reduce "runoff" significantly.
I'm not invested in Anglo-American because it rankles with me, but would think it will benefit them when they finally get it out of the ground.

So the default judgment was to be accepted but only after 7 days?
Seems like a waste of time and money...

Bugs. Zaza hadn't paid them for months, so they were probably just very thin.

So YA couldn't serve frr at that address because they got the wording wrong, on the writ.
Now that IS a technicality...

M W M's ipad? Got removed.

Well Steve and Mukul at least...

.

What with Steve's slow quiet texan ddddrawl, ( that the judge can't hear), the long silences because his brief has got her knickers in a twist over where her documents are, it's hard going...
The judge looks bored out of her head.

Not sure if already posted but interesting article.

Ultrafast, on-chip PCR could speed diagnosis during pandemics https://phys.org/news/2021-05-ultrafast-on-chip-pcr-diagnosis-pandemics.html

Having just watched tonight's Panorama, (A.I are you scared yet, human? )
all I can say is I'm glad I'm approaching the end of my life.
Because I don't give much hope for our future.

Had to laugh when that mp caught out the beebs bad language system. When he quoted a reporter's description of Cummings as " that little fu*ker ".
Lol.

Seems barmy to me!!!

Who needs a chinese threat of EMP'S, when you've got a sun starting her"cycle".
"The sun began a new 11-year cycle last year and as it reaches its peak in 2025 the specter of powerful space weather creating havoc for humans grows, threatening chaos in a world that has become ever more reliant on technology since the last big storms hit 17 years ago. "

Solar storms are back, threatening life as we know it on Earth https://phys.org/news/2021-05-solar-storms-threatening-life-earth.html

This is the sort of lambo James would go for..;-)

Troaj. The key sentence from that article for us is :-
" Currently, less than 1% of the Rare Earths consumed are recycled.Technology sharing and financial assistance from the side of developed nations will be key towards realizing the goal of setting up the alternative."
If the little ol'UK was to concentrate on the recycling side, we could beat their monopoly.

The digital-yuan.(e-cny) Is it just a means to control the people by monitoring their spending, with the pboc in control and able to turn it off with the flick of a switch.

"The bank wants to “strike a balance” between privacy and the need to crack down on financial crimes, according to Mu. For instance, users with just small daily transactions can open accounts with only their phone numbers and stay relatively anonymous. (An ID is required to activate a phone number in China, so network operators could trace the identity. Mu said they are barred from sharing that information with third parties.) In addition, the PBOC has said that user information won’t be completely exposed to banks. But user identities will likely be tied to individual wallets, giving authorities another window into people’s lives. PBOC Deputy Governor Fan Yifei suggested in an article in 2018 that banks may need to submit daily information on transactions and that there could be caps on transactions by individuals."

""In 2019 NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said China's mass surveillance mechanisms and machinery of private communications was "utterly mind-boggling". As of 2019, it was estimated that 200 million monitoring CCTV cameras of the "Skynet" system had been put to use in mainland China, four times as many as the surveillance cameras in the United States. State media in China claim that Skynet is the largest video surveillance system in the world, utilizing facial recognition technology and big data analysis.
In 2019, Comparitech reported that 8 out of 10 most monitored cities in the world are in China, with Chongqing, Shenzhen and Shanghai being the world's top 3. In 2019, China supplied surveillance technology to most of the world, and positioned the country in control over the mass surveillance industry.
According to industry researcher IHS Markit, at the end of 2019 there were 770 million surveillance cameras in China, and this was expected to exceed 1 billion by the end of 2021. The government says this prevents crime, but citizens worry that their data and their privacy could be compromised. In late October 2020, Deng Yufeng, an artist, used performance art to highlight the issue of how difficult it is to dodge the view of security cameras.
As of 2018, the Chinese central government had also adopted facial recognition technology, surveillance drones, robot police, and big data collection targeting online social media platforms to monitor its citizens. :-(

Seems to have concerns about cameras...
