Not really here to talk about the above as they can speak for themselves but just here to mention the Snowman theme for this Christmas. Don't have a tht in branch in Kilmarnock or Irvine now but I have been able to pick up a big giant white tht snowman in my local Co-op and tht smowmen white lollies in a very small local shop so, as far, as I'm aware, that's at least 4 shops in my small town which are stocking tht products now including R. S. McColl. It's not the usual tht snowman, but Raymond Briggs snowman to mark 30 years on from the first screening of the animated film. Good on you tht - a very endearing little character and please give the girl in the Silverburn branch (small dark hair) the promotion she deserves as she even put a SMILE on my father-in-law's face which is a very hard thing to do. She asked me to go on-line to win some money for completing the customer satisfaction survey on my shopping experience but I thought I'd broadcast it more publicly. She's not a relative of mine either. Don't usually like to think about Christmas until Hallow'een is past and like the pumpkin and skeleton lollies etc. to get pride of place till then but M & S's Advent calendars (including their Snowman one) just looked insipid compared to the tht one and particularly liked the selection pack with the mini Snowman attached. Really hope it's a winner but will my choc snowmen last till Christmas. What do you think? Greetings from Scotland to all and hope you have a phenomenal Christmas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wMs5bUkjO0

Just had my first facebook message "Phil Ski wants to add you as a friend" Crikey who needs on-line dating! LOL ouija board - when my sister first tried out ms messenger after her husband had died, she nearly fainted when (forgetting that her son and late husband shared the same name) the bing went and it say XX has a message for you. As for my first hubby, when my nephew and I logged on to his computer an Arnold S thing flashed up and said "I'll be back." All true x

Thanks for the song. This is Glasgow the rich multi cultural city of my birth which like anywhere has a few biggots but the majority of us have a laugh at life and none of us take ourselves too seriously. I hope they have a good Commonwealth Games 2014 and if anybody has any tickets they don't want going cheap you know where to find me. This is the much loved Navid Harrid played by Sanjeev Singh Kohli who is okay considering he went to private school and Still Game is one of the few gems to come out of bbc scotland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUbU5DLVKJE

I was a bit surprised that we didn't have a ye haw yesterday from our midnight cowboy as the share price continuted to advance. LSE sometimes puts asterisks in certain words found uncceptable and it can be baffling at times. I used an adjective to describe a posh hotel which got the star treatment and another one related to a female dog which came out with stars. I wasn't trawling through s19gls's short posting history but we get so few posters on here that I was intrigued why a new face was posting so late at night and what interest they might have in cup as I had never seen the poster post on here before. Oddly enough s19gls's own posts are littered with stars for words which are clearly a bit less polite than the couple I got the star treatment for and then strangely enough the eulogy to the trading skilss of makin hay from sg10gls contained a whopper of a swear word which didn't get any stars. Mind you he or she told that see you Jimmy philski guy from Aberdden to start posting his off topic stuff on facebook which I entirely agree with especially as there is no love lost between me and the philski one. I might see you on the iom bb on Friday before I go on holiday to let you know how the talk on their history goes at the ICAS event that day. atb

Oh dear I think rbrand was probably intending to use an abbreviation there. I do it myself as try as I may I can't spell kazakhstan properly without checking and tend to abbreviate. Never any offence intended and I am sure none was intended in this case. Sometimes people are very quick to take offence without realising that they too cause offence. S19gls I would ask you to look at your use of the word b****r on the Cey bb on 8th April this year and ask yourself if that was an appropriate use of language on a public bb. As Scotland's national bard might have said in his poem to a Louse "O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae mony a blunder free us, An' foolish notion: What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us, An' ev'n devotion!" If I may just translate the first two lines it goes, Oh would that some power would give us the gift to see ourselves as others see us."

A guy on the CRU bb tracked a copy down for me in the USA quite pricey and the postage charges lol are not as keen as our good old domestic ones with Royal Mail. Need to be careful when you buy stuff from the States etc. I have landed import and other taxes and a Parcelforce handling fee in the past for goods coming from abroad. I gather the ticker for Royal Mail will be RMG but still no disucssion bb as yet on lse. Aims lol I gather Old Mutual have crossed above the 6% mark in IOF last week but not sure it will be another FWEB for me so just going to head off on holiday and forget about it all for a while. The Laura Cantrell fan on advfn is not too keen on iof and a few other Aims shares. The concert was on Friday not Sunday as I had first thought but I went to see the musical "Sunshine on Leith" last night. There's a traditional punch up in it and quite funny and poignant in parts. And a very apt song for you Letter from America http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UPJ-euBzSM Don't be a stranger PS Old bloke, I nodded off a couple of times myself at our history club tonight, the topic rather than my age I hope.

Excerpts from RNS 4th October: "Extension of Offer The Offer, which remains subject to the other terms and Conditions set out in the Offer Document, is being extended and will remain open for acceptance until the next closing date which will be 1.00 p.m. (London time) on 25 October 2013, by which date all outstanding Conditions need to be satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Offer Document." "Settlement Subject to the Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects, settlement of the consideration to which any ENRC Shareholder is entitled under the Offer will be effected, in the case of acceptances received, complete in all respects, by the date on which the Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, within 14 calendar days of such date, save as set out below or in the Offer Document. http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=ENRC&ArticleCode=zg09hhoa&ArticleHeadline=Offer_Unconditional_as_to_Acceptances

Talk being given by Phil Worms Director of Communications to Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland members on Friday. Should be interesting.

What a lovely, friendly and helpful poster you are. Your user name has sinister connotations but you are the exact opposite. If all of the posters on lse were like you, the world would be a beautiful place. I saw one person on-line has a copy in vinyl but they don't inidcate if they would sell or at what price. ATVB to you and yours xx

Thank you very much. A bit pricey but if I want it in time for Christmas from the USA then I'll need to order now. The descriptions on ebay were a bit vague - could have been videos lol but definitely the second site has come up trumps "All products listed are region-free DVDs that will play worldwide" though I think we have a dvd player that can cope with anything from anywhere now. Really memorable name too that website. It's a shame though that all the really old Royal Doulton, Coalport and Wedwood pieces are owned by Americans now and probably Edinburgh crystal too. Thanks again, think I'll rummage through some second hand shops in Largs and see if I can find a Gallagher and Lyle song "You put the heart back in the city" recorded to celebrate Glasgow Garden Festival or City of Culture. LOL bet you can't find that on-line. ATVB

Don't think they are back on line yet which is a pity as Amazon don't stock a few things I'm looking for like Gracie Fields, Shipyard Sally and Kim Braden in Anne of Green Gables.

No Kestrel lager over there then. rns says Kestrel opportunities have lifted their stake in cup to over 4% xxx

John Mellencamp eh for Cougars everywhere Ivor and Eartha Kitty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0vo7fLzkpU Have a nice weekend Spotty. I was hobnobbing with the aristocracy yesterday in a castle and about to try out some damson jam made with the fruits from their very vast gardens. I've been waiting for it to cool down for a few hours Jolly hockey sticks.

yee ha cowboy.

On 7 August 2013 Eurasian Resources Group B.V. ("Eurasian Resources") posted to ENRC shareholders the offer documentation relating to the offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of ENRC (other than the ENRC Shares already held by Eurasian Resources). Following the passing of the necessary resolutions at the Kazakhmys General Meeting on 2 August 2013, and in accordance with both the Irrevocable Undertaking dated 23 June 2013 and the request of 30 September 2013 by Eurasian Resources for Kazakhmys to accept the Offer, Kazakhmys announces that it has today validly accepted the ENRC Takeover Offer in respect of its entire shareholding in ENRC, representing approximately 26 per cent. of the issued share capital of ENRC. Capitalised terms used in this announcement but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings given in the Kazakhmys prospectus dated 7 August 2013. http://www.investegate.co.uk/kazakhmys-plc/rns/acceptance-of-offer-for-enrc-corporation-plc/201310041100157477P/

I guess a lot of people reading that piece from the Motley Fool will be thinking that there would have been much to be gained if the Fool had reviewed Fres a few times in between his last review in January and just now.

Aye I know I said to that Mat that I would stay off this bb but I like to talk about shares though it's impossible to be in all the shares you want to be in at the same time. There have been developments here this week though have there not? One of the big shareholders here, Angus MacSween, brother-in-law of Dobbie, and heid man at IOM has sold off a lot of his shares this week in IOM. Any thoughts here about what he might be up to with all that cash. And please can we have some sensible comments rather than smutty schoolboy humour from the time wasters about birds and cash in the hand and two in the bushes. Golfer is in the Canary Isles sipping down Ice cool beers and I will be in the Isle of Wight soon scraping ice off my car window. Jarvis Cocker Don't Let Him Waste Your Time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MX99zjDK-vo What is it people put in advertisements when they are selling quality goods - no time wasters please.

But don't bother filling me in with any of the rationale for your weak sell recommendation here though feel free to do it for other readers. Just remembered your were the geezer who was issuing weak buy recommendations for kaz when it was on its rapid descent. Total time waster. Filtered.

You were the poster who was posting strong buy recommendations on here in March and chatting up your friend, Isabel into the bargain, before the big fall so I suppose you need to utter more substance to your weak sell recommendation now if you want to be taken seriously. I wonder if your bosom buddy lodan 1 would agree with you on this share.

It's been clear for a while now that fernie is a wind up merchant with nothing to contribute either while invested or when he's sold up. There's probably a bit of the attention seeker in him and often the best thing to do is just ignore them. You're not holding pfd now so it's no skin off your nose what he wants to say there. Hark at me lol and the boards I have hung around after selling to support those still holding. One guy used to pop in you know where after he had sold now and again to offer some moral support but I've come to the conclusion that all it really says is: I sold a while ago, I'm glad I'm out and I like this company so much that I am not buying in again poor you lol. The opposite of that guy on the old razor blades ad. Can't remember about your kaz but have you not been in profit there maybe twice or three times - maybe more. Certainly you had your opportunity there the day the enrc takeover announcement was made. Heading off out for lunch today again. A charity thing at a castle. Easy to get the impression from these bbs that the world is full of a lot of gossipy, vindictive, back stabbing rotters who would sell their souls and their mothers to the highest bidder. In reality, it is often a nicer place. This lady throwing the lunch today will go to a lot of bother and I'm not so sure I'd throw open my house - even if it was a castle - to thirty odd diners.
