Okay this is serious. As I believe I mentioned before I am due to have an operation on the 20th to remove some bone from the vertebrae in my neck which is pinching the nerve and severely restricting the use of my left hand.
So, I go to see the surgeon to run through it to decide wether to do it or not. There is no guarantee it will succeed and it is by no means a straight forward decision. This was the Friday before last. So we agree I will have the weekend to think about it and give him the decision Monday morning.
So I leave the hospital and I'm walked to my car and something hits me in the back of the head. I look round mystified. There is nothing on the floor but there is a woman about 5 yards behind me. I asked her what just happened and she said that bird -pointing to a crow now on the roof of a car - flew into you.
Now I'm sure you will appreciate the symbolism of this. But despite that I am still going ahead with the operation.
Thoughts?

We have so many fingers in so many pies we now have to get somebody from Norfolk to count them.

Goblesmyth, I hear what your saying but this industry is not an acorn. It's more like a Leylandii. It's a bit like a herd of wildebeest standing by the crocodile infested river. None of them want to be the first to go but go they know they must. When a few plunge in there will quickly be a stampede. AIMO of course.

PBM, that's an interesting analogy but this is not the same situation. The video war was won by promotion over substance. A VHS video cost no more to rent than a betamax so consumers were not that bothered. This is a cold hard cash situation. Also, neither video format was prone to catching fire and neither wore out any quicker than the other. This war will be won by following the money and not killing people.

I would reject a £2.00 to offer today personally. 3 would make me think but I'd probably reject that too. Just my opinion.
Once in a lifetime opportunities come along........er..........once in a lifetime.

Magic Pdub. So pleased for you both. I have my own operation in a couple of weeks to free up some trapped nerves in my neck, after which I may be able to play the guitar again. Though in truth I am a better singer than guitarist.

The BBC follow their own agenda.

Apologies to Squeeze and everybody else.

82p I never thought it could happen. With me and an investment guru in Clapham.
He told me about Vanchem. That night I had a ****em.
He said you are a lady. I said you'll get a slap in a minute my son.

The world has changed so much since I was a boy.
We didn't have screens that let us massacre zombies or steal cars and run over innocent drug dealers and murderers. We had wooden farm animals and plastic soldiers. Sticks for guns! Take that you bad man!
My grandfather was an unorthodox Jew.
He was a Nazi.
My other grandad was a very clever man. He took the massive fortune my great great grandad made from cocoa plantations and the exploitation of slaves and made us skint in less than two decades.
It takes a particularly great talent to do that sort of thing.

So we moved into a basement. With thoughts of our debasement.
We almost started crying. Until we heard of Vanadium mining.
We nearly sold the telly, then heard of a Vanadium redox flow battery.

Now I'm a few years older. My investments a bit bolder.
Alone here in the kitchen. I look at my investment text. BMN is looking good but thank God I'm not in SXX.
And Fortune won't write an RNS, which leaves me so slightly depressed. And so it's my assumption......

I'm really up the junction.......

Bath sounds about right then.

Eee by gum. You can tell a Yorkshire man. But you can't tell him much. Careful with a pound we are, so they say.
You have to be born in Yorkshire to play for Yorkshire County Cricket Club. That explains why we are so rubbish.
That Lowry, he painted matchstalk men and matchstalk cats and dogs. He painted kids in the corner of the street with their sparking cloggs. That's cloggs with nails hammered in to stop the wood wearing out for all you southern softies who wore velvet slipers when we had it hard.
Dark satanic mills it was. Never dreamed of that there Vanadium back then. Shiver me whippets and hand me my flat cap by gum.
So, BMN. Now that's a company after a Yorkshiremans heart that is. Don't get me started on that Sirius Minerals mob bar tat.
I could explain about the potential and world saving opportunity to earn a few pence but why would I? I'm a Yorkshire man. We don't do do benevolence or philanthropy.
Wiliam Wilberforce, he were a Yorkshire man. And that Amy Johnson. She were a Yorkshire man. And, er, Geoffrey Boycott. He were a good Yorkshire woman. Beater.
I'm Yorkshire born and Yorkshire bred. I, ...?.can't remember the rest.

Apologies to Yorkshire people. No ofence intended. Just comedy (maybe)

Whatever

So this fat man in a red suit sneaks into my kids bedroom to empty his sack. He didn't figure I'd be waiting. Oy Santa, where's my f**cking bike?
Ah numpty5 he says. Like he was expecting me all along. You don't want a bike. Well he's right about that. I married one, don't want another really.
You're so clever then Satan. I'm a bit dyslexic but he let it go. What do I want?
You want world peace, no famine or poverty and electricity for the whole planet.
Well, stone me. He's right about the electricity bit. That's why I invested my entire life savings into BMN obviously. Nothing to do with with the certainty of earning loads of wonga. Honest.
The lowest cost highest grade vanadium resources in the world. A vision to bring safe, reliable, non degrading large scale energy storage to both the undeveloped and developed world is your sole desire is it not?
Tell you the truth he's getting on my bl**dy nerves now and I'm thinking about twatting him one. But, I hold it together, he is Santa after all.
Yeah yeah Santa, that is my sole motivation I tell him.
He laughs. Ho ho ho. Are you not at all concerned with philanthropy?
Well collecting stamps is a muppets game if you ask me, but, I hate to admit it, he's getting to me a bit.
Well each to his own. You want to go train spotting or whatever, soldier on my son.
You are better than you believe he says. And do you know what? I actually felt like I was, I felt a connection with my fellow human beings. I felt good about my BMN investment not just because of the inevitable fortunes it will make me. But the greater good it will do to mankind.
And then he was gone.........
I feel quite bad about sneaking that iphone out of his sack now.

Sure enough, showing as a sell.

Yeah I got another 5129. Couldn't help myself.

Alfa, that's strange, surely the SP should have gone down?

Double buys to sells. Another positive RNS. Cue SP drop. Same as it ever was. Think I will get a few more tomorrow.

I agree. Wouldn't mind seeing some Directors buys though (assuming they are allowed to given news to come) to promote confidence.

Volume come from?

BBN, Whilst my thoughts are completely in sync with yours it is always a comfort to hear you say it.
