That might be worth a few bob Costa?

You missed out big time Dodge. Each packet used to contain two or three cards, a stick of bubble gum and some confederate money. You could have used it in the corner shop maybe!

Yep, most of my players had more glue than legs. Striker haha. As for Shoot, I would dutifully move all the teams up and down the league on their wall chart, every Saturday night.

While we are killing time here did anyone collect the Civil War cards? Our parents were strongly advised to destroy these bloodthirsty cards which, by today's standards, were pretty lightweight. I learned only recently that the gruesome stories upon which the artwork was based were all made up . Entirely fictitious stuff! How about that?

I bought a full set a few years ago and gave them to Lady Mush for her birthday. Haha..weird I know.

The Esso collection haha. I remember that. It was about the time I was becoming a dab hand at Subbutteo. Subbutteo and flicking rubber bands were my forte. Better than being remembered as an axe-murderer I suppose.

My word. Some very emotional stuff here. SomewhatGullible , I'd repeat what I said to Dodge. Good on you.

Wonderful heartfelt post Dodge. So good to hear you will be helping your sister too.

You are welcome Elise.

Still so much to look forward to this week commencing with the 10 pm announcement! Blimey!

No, these results aren't due yet. Gleaning from what GH said in a recent interview it would seem the drilling results would be in October preceded by a couple of weeks by the electro-magnetic survey. So it is the latter that could well pop in later this month.

I'm not upset by it. Who could be upset after this week? But it seems to me we believe that GGP is a 1000-1 chance of being a red hot share. A chance in a lifetime. The best share in decades of investing. etc etc

So how come there have been 20/30 others plugged in here this week?

Not that I am interested in any. I'm too (what's the opposite of shrewd?) an investor so I'm staying right here!!

Well I had a 'vision' it was going to reach 23p but I think that might have been complete nonsense. (or the strong coffee I was drinking).

However, sellers will see their shares mopped up as speculative front-runners buy in ahead of the news later tonight. 21p looks possible.

Yes WF. They were great. :)

Lady Mush and I no longer have normal conversations. We sit looking at phones or reading something or another and instead of things like "Oh it's a nice day lets go downtown for a coffee", it's silence followed by "20.1!" Then perhaps a groan and a questioning retort of "19.8??" Minutes pass before a "20.2!" breaks the silence once again.

We might round it all off with a perceptive and guru-like piece of wisdom like, "And don't forget, 20p is 20p!"

I've just had a premonition. I know it sounds crazy but....23p by end of the day.

Insto investors (love the term) buying ahead of the index announcement, getting in before it goes skyward next week.

23p

Go for it jaguarflush. I've been where you are and so I can only give you this advice too!

Hold for Gold!!!!

Good morning. I got to bed late and woke up late to a very nice figure of 20p on my phone!

My story is different. I didn't have a huge amount of money or an income six months ago but, to be fair, I've always got a bit of a kick out taking a risk or to two, so all the spare cash I had left in the world was put on this. I'd say it was a calculated risk despite all the experienced investors saying, "Don't put it all on one AIM share!!!". So I did.

*Mush checks his fingernails with a smug look and raised eyebrow*

Hmm JSI_ an interesting question. I think it rather depends on what you need to get a sense of fun out of life. So many things I enjoy cost next to nothing; fishing, cycling, walking, table-tennis, walking football and a coffee and a cake downtown. I love buying stuff from charity shops and still would even if this share makes me a million. Therefore, I could live off a very frugal amount, say 12k per year. With the state pension coming up in two years for me, I would need a pension paying £3500 per year on drawdown. Although I intend to live forever, should I mistakenly die in my mid-80's, a pot of £50k should do it. No mortgage to pay now of course.

Saturday it is. Not surprising you got a bit muddled. Kind of an exciting day!

You will recognise me. I'll be wearing a big grin.

I shall be there yellowstuff!
