He may be a special case but he is not the only one on this board guilty of serial fiction mixed in with the occasional deliberate half-truth to deceive the unwary or less informed.

If he had we might be having fair and free elections in Russia today without mass protests and arrests around that country. I see Navalny’s wife voted in Berlin. Do not expect Tim, BoB etc to comment. They will lie low and then come back with their weasel Putin-exculpating drivel in a couple of days without so much as a word about it.

Let's see how Mizman and his pals including Pompal get round that one, Offler. As usual they just ignore questions they cannot answer. All those people brave enough to protest at the voting booths are of course either foreign agents provocateurs or have been duped by western propaganda. I suppose Putin is hoping to die like Stalin on the job. He probably remembers Uncle Joe's remark to his servile ministers - what on Earth will become of Russia when I go, you are like children (compared to me, understood) The people just loved Uncle Joe and Vlad expects the same adulation.

Once again, Swizz, thanks for your observations and the time and effort involved. It is good to hear from someone who can speak with rather more assurance than the rest of us. I think Flombo will feel a bit better about things after reading your comprehensive post!

When the Soviet Union broke up, Ukraine held a significant number of nuclear weapons. In fact, the country had more nuclear warheads than China, the UK and France combined, making it the third-largest nuclear power in the world. Three years later, Ukraine reached an agreement with Russia and the US to hand over its nuclear weapons to be destroyed. In return, Russia promised to forever recognise the independence of the whole of Ukraine, including Crimea.

Vladimir Putin began his first term as prime minister in 1999 and brought with him very different ideas about his country’s relationship with Ukraine. He initially flirted with the idea of joining NATO but eventually decided to focus on reasserting Russia’s standing within the world.

— the world would be a better and safer place with China much less likely to invade Taiwan.

People like Tim do not like discovering the truth for themselves. They prefer to have it handed to them on a plate straight from the Kremlin. Therefore, all the mainstream media from around the whole world are lying right left and centre. Western propaganda is able to fool the smartest of us but not Tim who, blest with a remarkably keen intellect, sees the truth when it is handed to him on a plate. I see a fifth top man from Lukoil, whose BoD criticised the invasion of Ukraine at the very beginning, has been found hanged in his own office toilet. Five top men from just one company all gone! Tim no doubt applauds the demise of such traitors to the Putin cause.

Of course he can’t!

By his third beating at the hands of the Russian soldiers occupying Ukraine’s Kherson region, Vyacheslav Ryabkov caved. The soldiers broke two of his ribs, but his face was not bruised for his unsmiling passport photo, taken in September 2023.

It wasn’t enough.

In December, they caught the welder on his way home from work. Then one slammed his rifle butt down on Ryabkov’s face, smashing the bridge of his nose.

“Why don’t you fight for us? You already have a Russian passport,” they demanded. The beating continued as the 42-year-old fell unconscious. (No comment needed)

You are probably right but he wouldn’t find it hard to guess!

Maybe there is just one big update to come and understandably they prefer to say nothing until it is ready. They probably want to swipe the botflies away with one mighty blow! Wouldn’t you, if you were CS after all the attacks on his character?

Nothing like a bit of harmless humour in trying times, Gruffles!

Pointing out metal price increases has really stirred the nest with green hornets appearing all over my screen!!

It is encouraging to see nickel price moving up again. Now above $18000.

Where gold goes can Platinum lag so far behind much longer?

Historically, Platinum, being much rarer than gold, trades on average 25% higher.

PJ, have to agree with that. The BoD are keeping a sensibly low profile and getting on with a hugely complicated task. This will end well (to put it at no more than that) for both recent and LT holders as well as the BoD with their massive stakes in this company. How many AIM bosses show the same high level of commitment to their company over 20+ years? There are no life-style bosses here.

Thought experiments apart, if Bishop Berkley’s imaginary tree fell on Schroedinger’s virtual cat would there be a dead cat bounce - or not?

He has ruled out any dirty deal with LG. LG will get it, even if you don’t. It is even possible that this is in effect a public rebuff to ouvertures from that quarter.

Thanks, Swizz. Would be much sppreciated by us all.

That is what I mean by having his feet on the ground instead of his head in the clouds. He is one of us. A CEO you can trust and one who should have been in charge of Barryroe from the beginning.

I prefer to let Dattabase have his views confirmed by Tim, Pompal etc in private conversations

behind green bars. The fact that they can countenance criminals in charge of world powers puts them beyond the pale.

I really am not an agent provocateur on this site. It is most provoking to have my harmless gems indiscriminately cast aside along with malicious dross! Neghead and Tofferesque as neologisms should be given their chance to pass into general circulation in the English language without being cut off at source by Stalinesque-style censorship.
