Many thanks for that Berm. Very interesting stuff.

Second prize - a weekend with Ruck....

Ramper, not hamper. But then a hamper is often full of fresh air too, so maybe not that far off the mark.

You're on the wrong board mate. Unless you're just a splattering hamper. But of course you aren't. I believe you. Obviously.

Very true moonparty. It's an easy script to write. Still, there are some surprisingly absent today too - all good!

Perhaps we will finally have a day where good news comes out and the sp actually finishes higher than the open!

It's amusing to drop possible parts of one's private life into the feeding trough of the low end traders, then see what more they try to prise out. Any such information is then used to demean or belittle at every turn. Take for example Porky and his admission to losses on DDDD - you and your ilk never shut up about it and use it as a smokescreen to divert attention from the crushing losses in the one share to which this board should be directed. Who knows what information I dangled in front of you is true? It could all be spot on, it could all be fantasy, you just haven't got a clue.

That's why if you were sincere you would concentrate on the facts and the real world situation of Val, but the fact you go to huge efforts to move attention away from any negative (from which there are plenty to choose) and seize on any personal titbit you feel you know about other posters shows your true character and motives. So - am I a wealthy individual with a productive and balanced portfolio? Am I actually invested in Val and nursing massive losses? You have no idea, have you? That's why I ask questions on the viability of the company and look at facts directly affecting it. You ought to try it some time. It might give you some credibility.

Standing by for more attempted vilification....but don't wait up.

Well on past performance the best way to end up with a small fortune from VAL is to start with a large fortune.

So if you bought them all on 8th January you're only 30 odd percent down. About 50 grand. No wonder you're talking it up. Now I understand your position.

Of course if you bought over time prior to that RNS you'll be even further underwater. Best of luck, but is it fair to talk the share up in the hope of offloading onto some glassy-eyed passer-by on a spike?

21 million! Are those all since the last consolidation then?

So you agree with me? But if not, why not?

'.....but only way is up' is exactly what you lot were saying when it was at 1.25p - before the last consolidation. Let's face it, 201 isn't just dead, it's decomposed and fossilised.

And if the much vaunted laboratory was ever going to make any money at all it would have been trumpeted by RNS loudly over the last 18 months.

The basic silence in respect of anything even remotely money-generating is painfully tangible.

I'd have thought John Gilchrist's example, although tragic, was a very good illustration of what can happen if a board is left to be carried away by a bunch of chancers rather than being held to account by those who remain unconvinced as to any business case despite the best efforts of the trading fraternity.

Yes, I do have a very competent stockbroker but I didn't mention anything about the performance of my portfolio did I?

I think thr reality is that you know this is a dead duck, but for some perverted reason you want to talk it up - is this because you seek to recoup bad losses on your own account, or you're trying to sucker in a few newbies to flip a quick 10 percent on a dodgy buy in the hope of a quick profit on volatility? Let's face it, it's one or the other isn't it.

Or maybe a family member has just returned home and you have to go now....

I understand how it goes.

Notpotalot - I keep my portfolio between myself and my stockbroker as a rule, but since you seem obsessed with possible other shareholding of mine, I can tell you I have approximately 2 percent of my portfolio in Scancell, and after recent developments I may try to increase that. It's a 7 figure (not counting decimal points) amount of capital in the whole portfolio, but you don't have to believe that if you choose not to. On these boards realsists, liars and dreamers rub anonymous shoulders in the dark. So you'll have to take my word for it that if any single investment of mine went phut, I would lose little or no sleep, unlike John Gilchrist who was sucked in by the ramp crew here and ended up with a six figure amount that became a matter of pennies, insufficient to cover his funeral costs I imagine. So get real, look objectively at your investments, and be prepared to back up what you champion.

So once again, what's the investment case here?

Of course. I believe you. Sitting on a bb until the last minute and then just have to go when asked for a convincing investment case. Let me know when you have time anyway. I have the funds.

Go on then Uncanny, give me a convincing investment case. I'm all ears.

Uncanny I've long been convinced that this is uninvestible, after prolonged scrutiny. Doesn't that make my impartial observations of use to the board? Or have you got a compelling investment case taking a proper look at RNSs into account? I doubt it...

'The opinions of those not invested are irrelevant' - You really think so? That's people like me with spare cash to invest whonwatch amd research long and hard, listen to the invested, then read the RNSs and see that the ones already invested have either not read, misinterpreted or ignored the wording in the RNSs, and then sat back and had a good objective look at the company. What do I (and other not invested people see? A fantastic series of placings, taken to extremes before 125:1 consolidations (3 times so far!) and every time there's a placing or some hopeful LOI gets binned there's always a little carrot on a stick to drag a few more in. Black Cat - 5 million quid being sought. Remember that one? 201 massive deal imminent - 60 million in the Cayman Islands just waiting for a signature and away we go. Saturday amd George, a brilliant team. Oh hang on, they're rubbish, get Dilly in, she k own what she's doing. Get rid of Dilly, she's clueless, get some other white knight in, he's great. And all the while the wonderful compounds recovered from the bins at the back of Astra Zeneca become even older and more useless. An anti-psychotic drug? It'll cure cancer, surely. 201, 301, 401, all just rotting because.....they're useless. Peer reviews? No, just the sound of tumbleweed. Or was it the sound of people's wallets emptying down the drain?

That's why I didn't invest here, the smoke isn't that thick and the mirrors don't reflect well. I'd hate to see another John Gilchrist episode, that's why I tend to post here now. And if mine and Porky's (and others') posts are really incorrect, surely the Hampstead.woild have actual facts and data to debate on a sensible level. But that always seems lacking. I wonder why...?

Personally I think this looks excellent, but in the meanwhile I'm just waiting for Scinv to pop up and tell us why this is dreadful news.
