Truckerboy...just keep the gear in top and drive under that lovely blue sky.

Wow..life is so good isn't it?

Fun. I'm going to need a trip to the doctor if it keeps going up at this pace..

So, if you were betting on it (which we are of course) but as somebody completely unconnected with GGP, shareholder or employee, would you bet on the SP finishing further up today?

The man in the van...he sayyy....yes!

I think I'm almost having as much fun reading the posts on this board today than I'm having watching the share price move. Amazing tales of mortgages being paid off, isas rocketing, bigwigs buying in etc etc. Great stuff!

MFU...haha! Yep, while she is hopping up and down like a demented one on the other side of the room.

Gosh isn't it a nice day today? Blue sky, morning sunshine;, it's like everything is just that much more vivid. Sigh.

She keeps singing Money! Money! Money! in the background while i'm glued to this screen! What Pandora's Box have I opened??

Well bobrad, I shall get up, have a nice cup of tea and then a bowl of Special K.

However, if you mean what will happen with GGP? Well, we are around a week away from some interim drilling results. An unusually large purchase (it would appear) came in late on Friday and pushed the closing price up to 10p. The order was apparently unfulfilled meaning that, in theory, someone is still after 2 million shares, It depends how desperate they are for those shares and the forum is filled with various theories about that.

People DO seem to be getting very sticky with this share and are waiting for a big announcement. That could be amazing drill results for Havieron, recommencement of exploration drilling at Scallywag, a buyout or a takeover. Throw into the pot day traders who will buy and sell on the daily movement and really it is anyone's guess.

I predict a price above 10p to start, then a movement to 11p before dropping back to 10.3p at 4.30pm.

Igandhi..yes, the Non-Habitual Residency. Ten years of low taxation and tax-free pension (I think). Of course, I need to have enough cash to worry about that so GGP (and I) would still have to move somewhat because I would need Portuguese residency before full Brexit on December 31st in order to apply for it.

Thank you for that information Cobrakai1. I feel very uplifted again.

Cobrakai1...We visited Galicia last year and stayed in Muros. What a delightful town. My 'second team (behind Barcelona) is Celta Vigo and also have a soft spot for Deportivo la Coruna. We drove back to Santander through Asturias and were very impressed at how stunningly beautiful it was.

I understand it is a bit 'rainy' up there but do you have any tips for micro-climates (Oviedo?)

(You see guys...I may come across as a complete ninnyhammer at times but I can appreciate quality when I see it. :) )

Ahh..imagine that Truckerboy! A nice new villa. Actually, I just fell asleep and woke up and I'm still here but that's ok for the moment.

Showmethemoneyyy....yep it's definitely a screwy world at the moment. Did anyone see those crowds of mutants being herded up on the Durdle Door beach while two air ambulances landed to whisk away those who had been diving off cliffs into the sea?

Did IQ levels drop while I was away? I've just got to leave again. Got to. Come on GGP!

For all my bravado about how I am going to spend my potential massive gain, in truth' I don't believe it will amount to anything significant. I feel that my lifestyle will remain exactly how it has is been for many years; forever scratching around to make ends meet. My other half is a little different. She has been looking at 'nice' houses in rural Gloucestershire, Asturias in Spain, Northern Portugal and Southern France all weekend. I guess that's my fault for explaining to her every other day why GGP has so much going for it.

She now definitely believes it will happen! I don't want to get too excited though in case I wake up and find it was all a blimmin dream...

Just come in from removing horrible felt from a horribly hot shed roof.

I must admit Tom, It was like being one of those toilet cleaners who wins a packet on the lottery and then, when asked what he will do with his life, retorts that he will definitely keep his job going. It's not going to change him, no way. Cleaning toilets is all he's ever known.

Not me, I say to hell with this felt roof and anything that looks like a felt roof. If GGP continues to march I'm never going to fix one again. I'm just going to buy a whole yacht.

Hi MFU, yes Saints were very good in those days. An enjoyable experience for you no doubt. My own style of coaching? Well it depended what age they were but for the teenagers I remember explaining the importance of 'tracking back' once. "Imagine your whole family is going to be carted off in an big old wheelbarrow, never to be seen again, unless you make the effort to chase back when the ball is lost. THAT'S how important it is!!" They seemed to dig those kinds of quips.

Anyway, back to this wonderful share. It's a particularly lovely day today and I believe things come in threes: I won £24 on my monthly £10 bookmaker (self-imposed allowance on Thursday night to stop me gambling haha!), gained around £20k by the end of Friday on GGP and have to fix re-felt shed roof today. Hmm, well two out of three isn't bad eh?

Did you play at a reasonable level after the apprenticeship MFU? I was never a great player myself but qualified as an FA coach . Got my licence etc. and used it to encourage amateur youth players to better themselves. One of my local youth players was on Southampton's academy books for a while and then released. I knew another who was on their books for nine years up until he was 18 and then released. He was very dejected about it and I never knew what happened to him but hoped he would get to play semi-pro at least. Tough business' pro-football.

There is a brilliant line in the film 'Sexy Beast' where an emotional ex-gangster Ray Winstone is dismissing a 'job' offer described as being of 'no risk'. I've changed it a little: "No risk? No f....g risk? Sixty days of my f....g life stuck in a field living in an f....g motorhome and all my money on GGP. No f....g risk?"I'm having Calamari now.

What did I say yesterday about not being out of the share when you need to be in it just before news breaks hmm???

Ditto that tkr..and that's the last sober comment I make on here today :)

I feel ...a little giddy.

10p.

Some of the investors on here are going to have a very interesting evening I reckon.

10p!!!!

Is it safe to come out from behind the sofa yet?
