Mick - it is pretty hard to be considered unarmed when you have a tank; a tank that will be close to the front line and being used to blast at Ukrainian positions.

Or, a Ukrainian drone in pinpoint action

The Economist has a series of articles (one of which highlights Insilico Medicine which I have been following with interest)

'What labour gonna do?'

It will not be hard to do a better job... No point in them laying out their plans now; The CONservatives will either steal their ideas or sabotage them.

No - I dislike incompetent GOV. Surely you are not trying to suggest this bunch are anything other than useless?

New record arrivals... looks like the only boat getting sunk is HMS $unak.

Does Nanoco interview at the moment

'Well they have approximately one years cash flow in the bank'

Yes, but... That will be from the date of the accounts, so nearly 3 months ago. And, the company needs a cash buffer and time to arrange a placing (if required), so I would expect they need around £2m on hand when they arrange a placing. They had £7.5m on hand at year-end and were spending around £600k a month on operating expenses.

I expect a placing in October if things continue at the same pace; 3rd party commercial agreements could provide some cash upfront, but equally might require increased investment by the company. I think this statement from the CEO indicates the likelihood of a placing:

'We acknowledge that we still have a journey ahead before we convert the intrinsic value to commercial reward and we aim to achieve this with our technologies by establishing key relationships with strategic partners that will benefit from the transformation.'

There must be good Wi-Fi in Wetherspoons this morning...

'So maybe UKOG could farm out a percentage of their various assets to save costs imo,gla!'

That has been 'pre planned' for years. Unfortunately nobody seems to want to do that dance with The Dear Leader.

'Ukog doesn't have the money to do this yet so raising is immanent.' Reminds me of this YouTube classic:

Or, an item that cost £1 to make was selling for £5. Now it might cost £1.25 and they want £7.50. They have managed to add a markup of 900% to the increase in cocoa costs.

Up 50% - just profiteering; total costs are not up that much because of cocoa cost increases. I asked Claude:

Q - what percent of the cost of chocolate is the cocoa beans?

A - The cost of cocoa beans typically makes up a relatively small percentage of the overall cost of producing chocolate. Here are some key points about the contribution of cocoa bean costs to chocolate prices:

- Cocoa beans account for only around 5-10% of the total costs involved in manufacturing chocolate bars and other chocolate products.

- The largest cost components are usually the other ingredients like sugar, milk solids, emulsifiers as well as processing, packaging, marketing and distribution costs.

- However, the percentage can fluctuate based on global cocoa prices, which are affected by factors like supply shortages due to disease, political instability in major growing regions, etc.

- When cocoa prices spike upwards due to low supply, the beans can account for up to 20-25% of the product cost for manufacturers until prices stabilize again.

- For premium, high-cocoa content dark chocolates, the percentage of costs from cocoa can be slightly higher, maybe 15-20% on average.

So in summary, while cocoa is the essential base ingredient, it represents a relatively modest share of total chocolate production costs, with most expenses coming from other aspects of the manufacturing and marketing process. But this percentage can vary based on global cocoa market dynamics.
