"Traders, investors and those that are neither are free to post as much as they like" yes you're right but when the share price trend is doing the opposite to the negative on this bb or positive maybe elsewhere stuff being posted, it is questionable whether anybody is paying a blind bit of notice other than to have a good laugh.

On a good run up Gerry - predicted by some on this bb while others were out quite considerably with their dire warnings of gonna go down to the fives. I am going out now for the day but would just like to put one little point forward for consideration: does a long-term shareholder need to contribute frequently to a bb about every penny up or down in the share price and every little fiddle fort going on. To me that has all the hallmarks of a trader Gerry. Have a nice day all.

Sun is shining in the sky so need to go. I am hanging off before considering a buy at the moment. A colleague once said to me in relation to children that you can never turn the clock back and have your time with them again when they are young. I had one who didn't have me around in the early years and one who did. Shame for the men really as paternity leave was considered for wimps. Anyhow it's been really nice talking to you dad as the guy sang.

Deb has too much bad publicity going on for the short sellers to feed on and can see the brokers' lower targets being achieved unfortunately. Going to take good half year results or interim management statement to get it on an upward path I think. Sorry for my honesty to those holding.

Getting slightly off topic now but employers paying the minimum wage or under are not likely to be paying anything other than statutory maternity pay which costs the government not the employer. Recruitment problems well you might have bother replacing somebody who has taken four or five years to train for the job but not unfortunately somebody in a minimum wage paying job. In my experience, nobody is indispensable and there are usually loads of people lined up to fill the shoes of others.

In corporate terms, even as the top of the league, the amount involved was a mere trifle but it does make you think that the agency staff working at sports direct were clearly not the only ones and there wouldn't be enough select committee time to consider all these cases of companies underpaying in the life time of a Parliament.

The One Show tonight had a story on employers paying below the minimum wage and the Chairman was interviewed and reckoned it had been a technical error. Blimey Gerry you better watch as with the size of your holding here, you and Mrs Gerry are probably the biggest shareholder(s) and might end up before a Select Committee to explain what's going on.

Game changing news volcano so hope you don't regret sitting on the fence. I reckon this will be better than playing the penny swings at say deb. Good luck.

Even if not prepared to hold for the divi. Anybody know if there are any shareholder perks likes discount vouchers which my broker might want to keep quiet about and use for himself and his family? I would forget the children's and lads' behaviour in Hungry Horse and Wetherspoons and have a look at Lloyds bb lol. I am pretty sure half of these punch-ups on the bbs are stage managed to drum up a bit of interest in otherwise stale shares. People couldn't be such oafs and louts in reality could they.

It looks to me BucksLad13 that despite the stewards or bouncers on some doors, Wetherspoons have their own unique problems as Trowbridge is typical of the branches I have visited http://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/shocking-100-man-wetherspoons-brawl-caught-on-camera-as-punters-exchange-brutal-punches-in-early-hours-bust-up/ar-AAmSxeC?li=AAmiR2Z&ocid=spartandhp

as it hit a year low unjustifiably I think and Friday's rns isn't indicating weak management to me "LFL sales over the three Christmas weeks were up 4.5%, despite tough comparisons with the previous Christmas. Sales were driven by particularly strong growth in London. We again broke our record for Christmas Day with sales of £7.4m, up 6.0% on the previous year." GoldAnOil I disagree with your comments about the Hungry Horse. It was previously a Tesco clubcard partner but it is always more profitable to get punters to pay with money rather than vouchers. In East Kilbride new town (no Tesco there ironically), it has two branches which are located in the two areas of the town with the most upmarket houses viz. Stewartfield and Lindsayfield  not that money can guarantee the quality of the clientele in my opinion but I never had any problem with the quality of the fayre on offer though it wasn't overly cheap in my view. I sympathise with you about parents who cannot keep their children under control but this is not a Hungry Horse issue regrettably but a wider problem in modern society. Neighbour is a paediatrician and thinks it is okay for his kids to thump a football off my cars and trample my crocus retrieving the thing. The guy is the chairman of the PTA and the primary school is encouraging kids to care for gardens in what is a socially mixed school. He sees no safety issues in the skinniest kid in the group (not his) crawling under my car parked on a slight gradient to get a trapped football. On the other hand, kids from the poorer end of town listened when I told them not to shake the blossom off the council's cherry trees as it was only there for a few weeks and made the town look nice. As I say, bad behaviour not something you can pin exclusively on Hungry Horse tiny diners or their cider swilling dads. Good luck.

according to today's rns.

Little but frequent meals as you say. Made £80. Live long and prosper.

Remember visiting the peace bridge, the Bogside and Debenhams in Derry and crossing over the border to Letterkenny without a passport. I think the people of Northern Ireland voted remain like the people of Scotland. Let's hope peaceful waters and trade continue to flow when we exit the EU and that I get to see Chris de Burg in April in Glasgow. Tickets hint hint for anybody who might be reading.

Yes I think the death of Tam Dalyell had me lamenting the long winter meaning no visits till Spring to my favourite picnic bench at the House of Binns overlooking the Forth and remembering him not only for the West Lothian question but the terrier like fashion he pursued Mrs. T. over the sinking of the Belgrano. Maybe Trump should buy David Murray the electric baker in Prestwick as it sells individual slices of wedding cake and Debenhams flowers in case he ever decides to go for a fourth wedding. Gerry I will not be around for Valentines Day so not buying flowers for anybody. Debs had a good deal on red roses a couple of weeks ago maybe for early bird orders but a client has a good selection of romantic flowers this year which might still be on offer for my return but dearer than debs and no free delivery countrywide like them or any delivery to my postal code in fact. Don't think Midway would be into red roses given his views on Blair and he would prefer a big ugly thistle. You put me off HL. in the past Gerry but not today. Eat little meals and often as Dierich would say.

Hit a year high early doors but couldn't be maintained which presented a couple of opportunities for me. Brokers made a few negative comments but as Dierich says every click a money making opportunity with this company.

That's more like it.

Steptoe's horse - Good calls Albert or was that the son's name.

Strange share price reaction.
