'ow's the old builder game going in Tunbridge? Still able to guzzle the old £6 plonk eh? Woz that in 'Spoons? - Be Lucky, my Son...

GLEN makes formal offer to buy BLT (at) Nickel Wesr Unit part of the 'Pup' I presume.

I am well placed to confirm Rasputin stories were true & none of the family survived. Jewels hidden in the female's corsets deflected the executioner's bullets but they were finished off with a bullet in the head, once the subterfuge was discovered. Tom Baker's turn as Ras, (he was recommend for it by Sir Larry Olivier), got him the Dr Who job. Downton Abbey, a pretty poor ripoff of 'Upstairs Downstairs', IMO

Think of Chard as coarse spinach. Only a 100 Russian Tanks, nothing very serious.

IMO, I'm up 32% as a long term holder, so nothing to complain about. I'll take my own advice - Keep the Dog & Sell the Pup.

Only the spinof, I believe. Said to be too small for the FTSE100. Keep the Big Dog, sell the Pup? Might be an offer for the Pup, IMO.

As kingmaker, no doubt. Cheer up Chums!

Great Stock, still an M&A prospect, IMO. BUT... This Government has harmed my wealth more than 13 years of Labour Rule. 'Green' Contracts' written in blood, aren't worth Spit. Retained original stake, parked dough in Tesco.

Good for investors , IMO. BTW, LKF, largest producer of Silver, as a byproduct of other mining activities - bit of Gold too.

Half an average stake from years ago, which I doubled about a year or so ago, reducing my profit from double figures. As I have pointed out on more than one occasion, Pop is happy to keep an investment indefinitely, AT THE PRICE HE PAID. He has never bought more to the best of my knowledge. Pop scaled TSCO back in October 2013, Past Tense. Sentiment could easily blow my small DGE profit away - so I'm out.

I was waiting for this particular wakeup call from HMGOV & here it is. Can't wait to see how Scottish MPs will vote, LOL.. Put the dosh in Tesco.

Surprisingly, still 850p. I've run their explanation through my Jargon Generator, & come up with, ' We think HMGOV policy is balls & their attempts to 2nd guess their own regulators lack credibility'. I welcome other views.

Drax said it will now "consider its options" for the unit's conversion and could try to get support under the older, RO scheme. "We have no doubts that this conversion will now happen and that Drax will announce the precise timing in the not too distant future," said Angelos Anastasiou, utilities analyst. Any slowdown in this conversion program must make us more dependent on Russian coal? Luckily, that fella Putin seems a nice chap, I'm sure he would want to help us keep the lights on.

Might be the catalyst for a bid from CNA, that City Scribblers have talked about in the Past.

Recommend this exciting stock to us all on the Tesco BB, Was going to get stuck in, but then I thought Nah... How many times have I lost dosh in AIM stocks just like this?

Top-sliced my long held stake at 93% profit, to buy more Tesco.

There may well be truth in the T/O rumours this time, but my children have grown up while I waited in vain for the £18-£20. Still worried about Egypt, too.

Power & Water are not the same. Water is a simpler & less contentious business, ATM. Power is not, 'ready to fly', it is between a Rock & a Hard place as HMGoV & Red Ed compete to play silly buggers in an Election Year,

The deal is shares & cash right?

Politics have nothing to do with common sense or economics, alas. Hence, Call me Dave's reshuffle. We shall see if an increase in 'The Monsterous Regiment' pulls in more femail votes for the Tories.
