I've got 140 Bamps but that goes back a long time and I guess many of them have long disappeared from the board anyway

Is this an aberration or has GGP picked up a breath of wind in its sails?

Hold your breath
I’m holding mine
Watching the breadth
Of this growing mine
Drill after drill
Expands the size
I have the will
For continuing buys
The extra boon
I’m sure we’ll have
It’s coming soon
The second Hav
Watch this space
Just don’t blink
In the right place
We’re on the brink
So much promise
Don’t get the blues
If a doubting Thomas
Don’t hit the booze
Just join me now
In my buys
A future cash cow
Just watch it rise
It may take time
From where we are now
But it will climb
To just a WOW

We need another big hit that's for sure. Wall I do, I'm getting on in years.

Rishi Sunak is 42

Isn't 42 supposed to be the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything?

Hi Culpepper
Thanks for pointing me to this
"Little, cunning, cowering, timorous beast,
Oh, what a panic is in your breast!
You need not start away so hasty
With bickering prattle!
I would be loath to run and chase you,
With murdering paddle!

I'm truly sorry man's dominion
Has broken Nature's social union,
And justifies that ill opinion
Which makes you startle
At me, your poor, earth-born companion
And fellow mortal!

I doubt not, sometimes, that you may thieve;
What then? Poor beast, you must live!
An odd ear in twenty-four sheaves
Is a small request;
I will get a blessing with what is left,
And never miss it.

Your small house, too, in ruin!
Its feeble walls the winds are scattering!
And nothing now, to build a new one,
Of coarse green foliage!
And bleak December's winds ensuing,
Both bitter and piercing!

You saw the fields laid bare and empty,
And weary winter coming fast,
And cozy here, beneath the blast,
You thought to dwell,
Till crash! The cruel coulter passed
Out through your cell.

That small heap of leaves and stubble,
Has cost you many a weary nibble!
Now you are turned out, for all your trouble,
Without house or holding,
To endure the winter's sleety dribble,
And hoar-frost cold.

But Mouse, you are not alone,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best-laid schemes of mice and men
Go oft awry,
And leave us nothing but grief and pain,
For promised joy!

Still you are blessed, compared with me!
The present only touches you:
But oh! I backward cast my eye,
On prospects dreary!
And forward, though I cannot see,
I guess and fear."

Hi Bamps

The only trouble is I may not live that long

Byrnecut never seem to update their progress on the Havieron decline

Is the progress mentioned anywhere else?

Thanks Yellowstuff - just did the same

Someone going to the meeting with him could perhaps ask him

Hi Bamps

Decided if you had bought some at 8.43p that must be a good price so have just managed to get some myself at the same price - 8.43 p

Hi Bamps, I am hoping for some other things happening along the way to boost the SP as your time scale doesn't work that well for me at 85

"5% not exercised" Does that mean they don't intend to?

Hi Bamps, you are right. There is a saying "As daft as a coot" - Change the C to a K and that what I think I was

Dillon, a strange comment, I'm not blaming anyone - Don't look to answer things that aren't there - that just causes trouble

Hi Bamps

I followed you but lost £10,000

Haven't made it up yet

Bamps, I don't know whether you are still reading any of this but I am saddened by you leaving

I would love to meet you all at the forthcoming meeting but unfortunately my circumstances make that impossible but I hope those there prevail upon you to return

I check in daily to read your posts and it is one of the things I have always looked forward to.

Please rethink - all us genuine investors have lost out and the unspeakables have won by your exit - I am sure they are celebrating your demise, so put two fingers in the air and please return.

My memories of the Vulcan

I was 22, a junior engineer on Radio Links ( everything was microwave in those days )with the BBC

Someone way above me had the bright idea of stationing us with a camera unit and a microwave transmitter and dish at the end of the runway at a Farnborough airshow as a Vulcan took off to give a demonstration flight.

In those days ( I think it was 1957) all the electronics was based on valves. (transistors were just about being introduced).

The vibration (which was enormous) as the Vulcan went low over our heads shook all the valve grids apart and we got absolutely nothing.

I might be a year out but I remember the event very well

Wow, Paddy, I don't know about similarities but that looks damn near identical to me

Good idea - I can only afford to buy 7,000 but it would add into the total
