Well he didn't get much right in life did My Ronnie. Apart from marrying me and buying those BMN shares in 2013 he got most things wrong. Not a very tactile man. Though in truth I'm quite a cold woman myself. With him I was anyway. Ronnie used to joke that when I opened my mouth a light came on. He could be a card. Much given to mansplaining I'm afraid. In fact he once mansplained mansplaining to me and a few of the knitting group of the WI. 'Now mansplaining girls. Is when a MAN. Explains something to a WOMAN. In a patronising and condescending way. I can repeat that if you need me to.' Oh yes proper card he was. Banged on endlessly about Bushveld. Of course I know about them now but at the start I thought, oh here we go, wasting what little money we have on another crackpot scheme. I thought it was a cannabis farm. Actually, I hoped it was. All the youngsters seem to use it. Even Tyson. Well especially Tyson to be honest. He's the young lad we got in when the garden got a bit too much for Ronnie near the end. Strong as a paedophiles password is Tyson.
'Vandium Dierdrie, that's the future my girl' he'd say. Ronnie, not Tyson. 3 mines full of it Bushveld have got. Well they could have been the size of allotments for all that dopey idiot knew. So naturally I had to check it out myself and turned out he was on to something. 'It turns iron into steel and turns it into superman.' Bear in mind this was before the never proven unspecified poison that they never got to the bottom of started entering his system. So they say. Anyway, turns out they do have 3 massive mines full of top quality stuff. Vanadium. Not cannabis. Well me and Gladis from poison ivy cottage up the road had a look at it and found out about these VRFB's. Looked like the future to us. I asked Ronnie, being curious like, what do YOU think about VRFB's? 'Be okay with enough tomato sauce my love.' He said. He'd never heard of them. He was pretty ill by then in fairness. Once, as I gave him the coco I made him and insisted he drink every night. What about electrolyte then Ron?. 'Penicillin will sort that my love.' He said. Lemur? I asked. 'No love, get a cat.' It was a good funeral. So everbody says anway. I thought Dierdrie, you need to get away and cheer yourself up. I thought well, I've got my BMN shares to look after my retirement so I will book a cruise. So I did. Not cheap mind but I had Ronnie well insured. Had to buy an entire new summer wardrobe for Tyson though!

With respect Olly4, apologise is spelt with an'S' not a 'Z'
We are not bloody Americans.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Fb, I will give it a go.

Fb, we've all been there mate. I think it's quite apparent how drunk I am.

I'm in Tobago drinking god knows what. I just specify the colour and they bring me it. Tastes a bit banana this one.

Now listen here chaps. Oh and chapesses of course. Been a bit of a development on the old Bushveld Minerals front what. Now I know many of you have been here a good 6 years or more, as indeed I have and there have been a few times when it looked like we were on a bally sticky wicket what?
Knuttie, we don't use that kind of language here, please be so kind as to moderate it.
Where was I? Oh yes. Sticky wicket. Well as we all know that excellent chap Fortune plays a straight bat and he has turned us into a pretty formidable team. CAN YOU SHUT UP at the back Numpty5? Good lord man, must you always turn up to briefings drunk? IF I may be allowed to continue? So Fortune has steered us through some pretty choppy waters. We now have 3 Vanadium mines. Top quality stuff too. None of your pub-grub here. 2 of only 4 major processing facilities outside of China and that's not the half of it. Fortune also has an eye for the ladies. Oh sorry, not the ladies, the talent, that's it. Though he may have an eye for the ladies too for all I know. Can't say I'd blame him. Damn handsome fellow if you ask me. Anyway I meant talent.
Now, who can tell me...... put your hand down please Alfa, I haven't even asked the question yet. Yes, yes, I know you will know the answer no matter what the question. You probably know the going at Kempton and what will win the 3.30 I shouldn't be surprised. Sorry, say that again? Good to firm and dusty blanket will take some beating? I will just make a note of that. What I was going to say was that Fortune brought that fellow in to bowl a few googlies in on the old energy storage front so who can tell us that chaps name? No Squirty, it isn't Mikhail Hitler. It's Mikhail Nikomorov. Yes, Hail Hitler I get it and it's not funny. Stop s******ing please Ophidian, he didn't write 'Lolita' either.
So now this VIP stuff means we have some very important people. Yes Daisydog, what is it? Not important people? VRFB Investment Platform? Are you sure? Well it sounds like a jolly good idea to me. Basically an investment arm to benefit from all aspects of VRFB production, supply and electrolyte rental. I say, you could hardly make this stuff up.
Pauldina, stop playing with your toy ships please. You're not in the bath now. Pbub, am I boring you?
So, on top of us owning these mines and processing plants and interests in Lemur, Afritin, and god knows what else we now have interst's in OEM's for the whole VRFB shooting match! My word. Rather impressive I'm sure you'll agree.
Oh Sanchez and loudspeaker, glad you can join us. We have seats at the front for you if you'd care to make your way down. Oh for god sake, if you can't get by fatbanker go down the next aisle.
Anyway so it's all looking rather toodal pip I would say. If we need analysis we do have the spy in place, code name 'Big Bite Now' he seems to have a jolly good handle on events.
So, gk647, vauxhallviva, sloppy, if you could hand out the briefing notes on the way out I believ

Given Avalon and our interest in Redt maybe their alleged pipeline is actually there.

Nice to see it's in the middle of nowhere for when the inevitable happens.

I really wish our BOD had a bit more about them. I mean surely they could explain where Einstein's theory of relativity went wrong. I am absolutely awestruck in my admiration for them and their strategy to increase the value of my money.

Apart from miss-spelling electrolyte not a lot to dislike about that. About as complicated as a loft extension.

My Lord they don't let the grass grow do they? They aren't just promoting the VRFB market, at this rate they will BE the VRFB market. With a bit of luck.

Okay so my SP theory has clearly gone the way of the pear so here's the last of my bi-centennial travel tips. This is the big one. This is the No More Hustlers Ever one.
Numpty5 top travel tip #5
Now, this works every single time. There will be people however who choose not to do it because it will offend their sensibilities. Mrs Numpty5 and I think it's hilarious though.
Timing is very important. You mustn't give them time to think. It's a bit like the old Roukes Drift don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes but the Zulu's never had sunglasses so I have to adapted it to the fixed grin. Now your average hustler will fix the grin at 20 feet and great you at 10. So, as soon as you see the grin, you begin.
You don't have to do it exactly as we do, it's the principle that matters and we vary it at times but the following is our default anti-hustler position.
So me and Mrs Numpty5 are strolling along admiring the Trumpus Andronicus Byzantine architecture and I spot him. 100 yards, opposite side of the road but crossing.
Mrs Numpty5, I say, sotto voice, bandit at 10 O'clock 100 yards.
It's a good idea to keep talking until it is time to go into action as it gives it credibility when the party gets started.
Wait for it. No grin yet.
Wait for it.
Grin.
I turn to Mrs Numpty5 and SHOUT ANGRILY 'well if you hadn't f**ked my brother it wouldn't matter would it?'
Mrs Numpty5 shouts back 'if you didn't have such a tiny dick I wouldn't have done'

That is generally enough. Hustler has body swerved you like George Best and is 20 yards past.
Cue high 5's and general hilarity ensues.
Hope it helps.

The trouble is it's all just lip service for votes. Let's take Bristol as an example. They hate cars with a passion. So they set up all these cycle lanes whose only achievement is to make sure only 6 cars get through a green light a time instead of the 12 that should resulting in double journey through the city times and twice the amount of pollution pumped into the air than could be the case. They have a 40mph motorway for 'safety reasons' for Christ sake. Now, if they were ACTUALLY interested in air pollution they could slash it at a stroke by turning off the thousands of totally unnecessary traffic lights throughout the city. But they don't, do they? Central government fuel taxes take precedence. It's good that governments pretend to care to placate the great unwashed but let's not kid ourselves that they actually do. Rant over.

I do hope Avalon are going to stop this ridiculous 'energy machine' nonsense and start referring to 'batteries' as is the actual case.

I will tell you why not. 82p will be deemed a pathetic price in the not too distant future and most of us I believe are holding for dividend income. It's an incredibly stupid idea that should be forgotten immediately.

That is an interesting theory about Glencore and the V price and certainly not one that had occurred to me as even a possibility. Thanks to MALTBY for increasing my vocabulary by one as well. You would like to think no massive conglomerate would do such a thing but if you are older than 12 you know they would in a heartbeat.

Squirtyflower, I was going to make a highly amusing (not) comment about how your name relates to Clowns but then I realised you had already done it. If you don't mind me asking are you actually a clown?
I was born in a circus but ran away to live on a housing estate. Obviously that isn't true.

You're dumb enough in fairness.

Don't blame George, it wasn't his fault.
