Shorting

There are some Posters on our B.B. who think there are some major holders here who are shorting.

I believe that shorting should be banned and in my opinion it is immoral to say “borrow” shares from “whoever” wither that be an individual or a Pension Institution. When you have a Pension Institution who is prepared to make money at the expense of their clients it is not correct, almost as bad as a Broker forward selling shares.

Now I have been acquiring shares at almost all time lows (had made a few bob on another company and had some excess funds that I believed would make a reasonable return with Clear Leisure) which you will be enlightened to over the next two weeks.

For the record I have not traded this share apart from the 2 million that I bought and sold around December 2017 (the time of the Bit-Coin RNS) to prove a point to others that CLP is a share that has been traded non-stop over the years by others at our expense.

Soon it will be Long Term Shareholders who will be rewarded for FG’s sterling endeavours.

Culzean Castle Part 2

Driving from Glasgow to Culzean Castle is a dangerous road. The road to Kilmarnock is a fast road and often accidents occur but the road from the roundabout near the Prestwick turn-off and the A77 is extremely dangerous and I have travelled this probably over 160 times when I was working in Northern Ireland for almost two years.

It has been over five years since I travelled the A77 and I still remember every bend, turn, bridge, roundabout and accident spots. In the past five years there appears to have been no road improvements at all. White lines almost invisible, poor signage for minor roads joining, trees and vegetation limiting vision (I could go on, but by now I know you are getting a little tired)

Even with no visible improvements to my knowledge the accident rate has been dramatically improved by one thing, Average Speed Cameras. The Scottish Government did one thing and it improved (saved lives) the situation.

So what is the point of this drivel? We have with FG as CEO and Executive Chairman a person who is not doing one thing he is doing at least fifteen things that are about to improve your life.

PS I think I may send my shirts to London next month to be washed and pressed and then flown back to Glasgow (sorry about the CO2’s) just because maybe I may be able to afford to do that as a result of what FG is about to reveal

Culzean Castle Part 1

Yesterday (on our granddaughter free day) we visited Culzean Castle and Country Park in Ayrshire, which is a National Trust for Scotland property. I knew as soon as we entered the driveway this was going to be interesting, with all the art-work lining the driveway (rustic metal spherical shapes with a candle like light inside)

The first two or three car parks were full but not with ordinary cars, posh cars, expensive cars and almost new cars, the grey brigade had arrived before us. The castle was interesting (will not irritate you with too much of that) and we had coffee and cake (served in a silver coffee pot and expensive crockery) with stunning views of the Island of Arran and Aisla Craig.

There was some details about how the Lady of the Castle used to lock the kitchen maids in to prevent them going to the local dances and the male servants would assist the kitchen maids to “escape” through the metal window bars, but they had to be very thin. I had an idea and maybe the New Prime Minister, when they are elected could pass legislation to install a similar device outside all fast food outlets, if you can’t squeeze through then you obviously should not be eating junk food, obviously you would have to have some form of contraption for the drive-thru, like making them all get off their rears and also attempt to squeeze through. I know this is impossible to implement but some things are possible if you put your mind to them.

One thing I found unusual about the Lady and Gentleman of the Castle was that whenever they were in London they would send their laundry back to the Castle, over 500 miles away. Why would someone do that? The time, effort and expense to pack, take to the train station then collect in Ayr and then horse and cart to the Castle, unbelievable and the smell. You do get to see how the other half lived.

Deja Vu

Deja Vu is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning “already seen.” When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done.

So do you think we have been here before? Do you think or believe we are hitting an all time low? Have you seen this before? Or do you believe we are where we were two years ago?

Good Morning Spary1

I do have a take on it and I refer you to the heading of this thread (not long to wait) Promise

Patience is a virtue.

A virtue is a trait or quality that is deemed to be morally good and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being

Good afternoon LtdAxis

Sorry not wanting to assist Boom123 to get his 10% because if I Post he appears from a particular part of the farm-yard that the farmers hold their manure.

Invitations: I would like to accept invitations but sometimes you need more notice and not 12 hours. Now if “The Queen” commanded me to attend then obviously I would attend and maybe make up some story that I had to go away for a day or two as I had a patent pending that would guarantee 100% that no spider would enter a greenhouse, she may buy that but then maybe not. So what other excuse could I use to excuse myself (answers on a Postcard also please)

Questions: I am fully conversant on the Take-Over Rules and Insider Dealing and I have to stick to my beliefs and not budge one inch and sometimes not through rudeness I ask people to not say anymore as I do not need to know.

Articles of Association: Now I prefer these for night-time reading by beeswax candles, they are what governs us and ultimately decides our fate. I would say that less than 1% of Posters have ever read Articles of Associations but this is where you can find keys to the vaults.

Lemons and Lemonade: Certainly not.

To treat wasp stings with lemon, slice a fresh lemon in half and squeeze out as much juice as you can. Dab either a cotton swab or cloth in the juice and apply it to the wasp sting. You can also use bottled lemon juice, however, fresh lemon juice works better.

Being a beekeeper you did get stung often, especially if you did not have full protection but you build up immunity to the venom. However it has been known for some older beekeepers to suffer a severe allergic reaction and when they do they curtail their Posting (only joking) anyone can suffer a reaction to wasp or bee stings and they may have to seek immediate medical attention.

RKB

PS one thing we are experiencing on our B.B. is a hive of activity.

Good afternoon Neonicotinoid

I often do as I am told. This morning while I was upstairs in the study doing my version of Samuel Pepys my wife was playing with our granddaughter and she called up to her papa to come down and take her into the greenhouse to get her new watering can. Mrs Refuses to enter greenhouse because of a perceived threat of an early demise if she he sees a spider. Obviously I could not refuse my granddaughter and put my quill down and went into the greenhouse with her and retrieved her watering can. This was not the first thing I was told to do today but if a request is made and I believe it is in the interest of everyone, why would I not acquiesce to this request?

RKB

PS I do not know why when I try to post I can’t post it all at once and have to split it up!

Diary of a Beekeeper Part 3

So now we come to the current situation. I have deliberately not mentioned Broker as that has all been resolved. I gave my word to whomever that as far as I was concerned the matter was closed and it is. Then last weekend we have our new Poster Neonicotinoid, whom I have been playing chess with and he has won all the games and I have not even achieved a stalemate.

The point of B.B. is for discussion of views, sometimes views we do not want to hear but we should. I gave my word that I would not sell one share (and by that I mean any of my shares) but I did not say I would not buy.

Yesterday was two months since the GM and I thought that some Posters may de-ramp due to lack of RNS and I decided to pr-empt that and posted. If Posters miss-read or miss-interpret my Posts is it my fault? If the share-price falls (slightly) and I buy have I de-ramped? We built up to 97 hives through hard work, long hours and knowing our business. We achieved our goals.

Now I have achieved my goal, I have bought, bought and bought but as you know I do not go above 3% (don’t want to TR1) I believe that we will honestly achieve our RTO, to me it does not matter what company is the target vehicle to achieve it. If I have used (some may say manipulated) the posts between Neonicotinoid and myself then you were not paying attention.

I believe that my BOU shares very soon (and I mean very soon) will be worth more than my oil shares and I invested over six figures in that oil company. So all we need to do now is sit back and enjoy the views of Loch Lomond.

RKB

PS just read B.B. and I can confirm I am not Neonicotinoid he is more of a Grand Master I was only school captain.

Diary of a Beekeeper Part 2

The PS was missed from Part 1

PS When I was getting married in 1982 my parents offered to sign their house over to me if we would have agreed to live there but I did not accept their kind offer as we wanted to make our own way.

Diary of a Beekeeper Part 2

So you now have further background information about me so I can update you on BOU.

I got involved in PSL to gain access to Antos. (Achieved)

I bought a few shares at 0.01p. (Achieved)

I discussed why I thought Resolution should not pass. (Achieved)

I predicted our share-price would continue to rise after the 5 April. (Achieved)

I sold some at about 0.065p day before Open-Offer as I thought price before further news arrive was a good price to top-slice. (good move)

I sold all my shares at 0.031p on the morning of the Open-Offer as I felt there would be many de-ramping and price would drop. (good move)

I anticipated that HL would still permit me to take up my Open-Offer shares to the amount at close on the day before Open-Offer was announced. (good move)

I posted several times to not be too greedy in requesting too many shares in the excess allocation as it would be scaled-back to as low as 5% or 10% (correct except some received more than 10%)

I requested Open-Offer for myself, daughter and wife! And about 25 million extra each (I think) well this was sort of achieved except that I messed up Mrs Corporate Action so she got nothing (is that why she has been sulking?) Good move as HL gave me 26.11% extra (another achievement)

Diary of a Beekeeper Part 1

Many of you will know that I used to be a beekeeper with my late father and we had at one stage 97 hives. We began with one when I was a young boy and kept about 4 or 5 hives until in the late 1960’s we moved to a house on top of a valley that you could see Loch Lomond to the north and Ben Lomond and to the South we could see Port Glasgow (next to Greenock on the River Clyde) Fantastic views and no neighbours for half a mile north, south or west and east was a forest and hills and nobody for about 3 or 4 miles, totally isolated and over half a acre of land.

My father had the land and we built this apiary up to about 10 or 12 hives which was the most that the surrounding area could accommodate and my father was happy to stick at this level of a maximum of 12 hives. The problem we had was in the West of Scotland the weather is not really suitable for commercial beekeeping and some years we would not have any honey and it cost us money to feed the bees through the winter.

I suggested we had to scale-up and when you are about 40 hives you are semi-commercial but 100 hives you are commercial and it takes a lot of energy to manage that amount of hives. In 1984 we were at 97 hives and it was our best ever summer and we stuck GOLD. We had hit the jackpot and we did very well. Unfortunately the winter of 1984-5 was bad and we lost over 90 hives, other beekeepers were wiped-out but we survived, just. My father died in December 1986 4 months after I had a serious back injury and had three operations on my back and had to attend his funeral on a stretcher. I did not give up, I built the numbers up to about 30 hives and then began to sell everything. I had over 120 actual hives with all the supers and brood boxes, queen excluders, 1,000’s of jars, was & frames along with processing equipment and a pick-up truck and I gave all the money to my mother who had emigrated to Australia in 1987.My mother lived another 20 years and never had any financial worries, went on about 10 holidays to Germany, UK & Canada to see her family, had new cars, her own house and lived a happy life all because I did what was correct.

Good evening Applegarth

I am beginning to come around to Scotia re your Post at 11:50am yesterday. Sometimes you have to re-evaluate your research and be open-minded.

I was looking again at all the links for Scotia and thinking about what Neonicotinoid has posted. I will not spell out all the clues from his posting but if he is honest as I believe he is then it most likely will be Scotia Exploration Ltd. I will when time permits re-check all my research and if I have any doubt I will voice it on our B.B.

RKB

We are clutching at straws, try harder for your 2%

RKB

More Succinct, continued

So now we need to look at the open-ended cheque book that has been issued. We have a situation where the Broker soory (yes soory not “sorry”) that I can’t bring myself to name them (as we have moved on, or have we?) The Broker receives 3% in shares of all shares in issue when the RTO happens. So if there are 12 billion shares then they get 360 million shares if 20 billion shares then they get 600 million shares, for what?

Now there is a little problem with this 3%. There is at present no current authority to issue shares let alone on a pre-exemption basis. So how do we resolve this? Or is it a Mexican Standoff?

A Mexican standoff is a confrontation in which no strategy exists that allows any party to achieve victory. As a result, all participants need to maintain the strategic tension, which remains unresolved until some outside event makes it possible to resolve it.

Do I have to garner sufficient votes to call an EGM? Do I have to articulate like Liam Neeson did in “Taken” and spell out my unique skills?

Quote as amended by RKB“I DO know who you are. I DO know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I DO have money. But what I DO have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career on B.B. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my BABY go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will CALL you OUT.” End Quote

More Succinct

Good afternoon Neonicotinoid, I have reflected on your recent Posts and rather go round in circles or head in the wrong direction to the beauty spot (or the pot of gold) I will be a little more succinct so as not to lose all the genuine Posters on our B.B.

It is now exactly two months since the GM where the BoD lost round one (resolution 4 failing) but at present we do not have what could be described as a new queen in charge (Antos being a Director) Why does it take so long to process this?

When I worked for just under two years in Northern Ireland and I was living in an hotel for two weeks at a time and only returning for 1.5 days to Glasgow I decided to volunteer at the Ulster Hospital in the elderly care ward (I called it the do-lally ward) I said I would volunteer anywhere they could use my services but not with children (Jimmy Savile and all that)

The local health board had to do their equivalent of “Disclosure Scotland” even though I already had that as part of my financial requirements to practice. So I knew that it would take about a month to check I was a suitable person to “volunteer” and I believe it did take a month but it could have been quicker if some paper-pusher had not gone on holiday for final sign-off. Now due to the past troubles in Northern Ireland I am sure they would want to carry out further checks just to be 100% I was not a weirdo and wanted to do something silly within their hospital.

But for whatever reason we have not seen any indication that another new director is being appointed, this could be stalling tactics by whoever (not intended director) but I have to say two months is now taking the Disney (Mickey Mouse) Either put out an RNS to say that we have no intention of “re-structuring” the current BoD or appoint A N Other.

Fun Posts

Later today I will try and reply to Neonicotinoid as I have a few things I need to achieve this morning.

I only read the B.B. on my iphone yesterday (whenever Mrs was distracted) and with LSE playing up it was not easy to keep up with events.

After Mrs fell asleep last night and I had played a few games of chess I read the B.B. and I have not had so much fun on a Tuesday evening in years when I read Slowlyslowly’s cake post and later when I read A-Milli’s ghost post.

You may not know this but a Tuesday evening is the lease likely night when children are conceived. Long ago I read an article about when couples made out and as you would expect Fridays and Saturdays were the most active evenings but Tuesdays was almost nonexistent. So whenever it was a Tuesday I used to say to the Mrs that we need to correct this low statistic and do “our bit” and get our batting average up and as I was the numbers person it usually worked (that was long ago)

It does make a change to have some fun on our B.B. and hopefully we have not distracted too many from what we are all seeking and I would like to think that later I can post maybe a bit more directly to tell them what they have to do and when.

RKB

PS Mondoman I also like your summation.

PPS I feel that I should possibly add a little about religion as I may have not been as articulate as I could have been. I am in what we call in the West of Scotland a mixed-marriage. We went to see her Priest but he refused to marry us because she was not “religious enough” so my minister married us. I should have said I no longer attend church that does not mean I do not have beliefs it just means I do not like being preached to. We all should respect others views and hopefully I have not offended anyone as that was not my intention.

Good afternoon Neonicotinoid

4: Overthinking and Greed. There is nothing wrong with overthinking, all that is in my mind is that you have look at all the possibilities that you can see but sometimes you have to have a third party who does not have an axe to grind to ask maybe one or two other questions as you may just not have thought about them. Now greed I have an issue with because we see it all the time on every B.B. Posters are greedy and that is their downfall. If you are not greedy then there should be sufficient to go around everyone but like envy or lust greed is something that you have to resist. I could write for hours on greed but nobody would read it just like a smoker will not read (until it is too late) about lung cancer. Posters should be realistic and if they are then we all win gold”.

5: Now we come to “insider information” this is an interesting question from you as I believe all Posters know that they are not permitted to act upon any insider information. But then again it has been articulated on many B.B. about MM, Forward Selling and Placings to name just a few but the FCA in my mind like HMRC and a few other Corporate Bodies deliberately turn a blind eye to certain things because “they are all in it”. Have I ever used insider information? No because I have not been in possession of such. If I did have insider information, would I use it? No. But the problem we all have is we believe it goes on and nobody is prepared to stand up. I did stand up, they knew what I knew and they had to “work around it” and they did. So logically the real question is why they are still here and why have they not agreed to another new director?

Neonicotinoid, I do not know if the above covers it all, but if not please let me know.

RKB

PS Do you recall I said Friday 13th in 1997 or 1998? It was 1998 and that hopefully proves that my memory recollections do go back a long way and they are instant.

Good afternoon Neonicotinoid

2: Nom-de-plume was a tease to see if you really were a bee keeper. Well I was on the radio many years ago but it probably was not played in London and then I was again on Radio 2 drive-time show where you phone in to say who you think the mystery guest was and they only select you if you have a story to tell so obviously they took me rather than JRK as I could talk all day about bees. So yes I was a beekeeper and at one time we had 97 hives but I am no longer a beekeeper and my wife does not like honey. But as soon as I seen your nom-de-plume I thought I knew who you were but we sometimes see things that we want to see, do we not? When I posted 2 or 3 years ago there was a very nice poster called I think Chalotte10 (in the 5% tax the neuron category) and she was always correcting my grammar and spelling and punctuation and you would think this poster was female but it turned out he was male so we can all make a mistake. In saying that I think I know who you are.

3: As is your habit I would like to share an anecdote. Well many of my posts are constructed that way and it is for a reason. Posters will maybe take note of what I am saying and if they do then I have managed to get my point across. Now you eventually found out that your friend was not the owner of some Kruggerrands and was basically economical with the truth and lied about his wealth. I was brought up to be honest and we brought our daughters up the same way and whenever I quote facts or figures from memory they are 99.9% correct. When Posters (or others are embellishing things they have to have a good memory because if they do not then they are caught out because people to remember certain facts i.e. We bought our first house for £27,900 in 1981-2 never quote another figure to inflate how much “profit” we made when we sold it later. However others lie and lie and their lies get more absurd the more they lie and eventually Posters realize who is telling the truth. So it is up to others to decide if there really were Kruggerrands or not, only one person would really know.

RKB

Good afternoon Neonicotinoid

Continued:

The main reason why I Post on B.B. is to share my research and with a bit of luck others will read it and add it to their research and maybe buy our shares. As Knigel often says no Poster can influence a share price up or down and I agree with him except when the herd arrive that creates volume and that creates a market and then there are buyers and sellers. I am not religious per say (I respect all religions) but if I only wanted Posters to read (hear) my Posts then I would be a preacher and in my opinion many preachers are dictating a very narrow view.

Now there are in my opinion about 70% of Posters who basically add no value at all with their one liners that often mean nothing. Then there are probably about 20% who genuinely share their research and thoughts and ask probing questions or refute other’s research with their own counter arguments and it is this 20% that I can engage with in debate. Then there are the 5% who are basically nutters who are probably put in Dusty Bin but I do not filter as like Donald Trump you get the odd laugh. But then there is this final 5% like yourself who actually task the neurons in my brain.

So last night’s Post had a few things that a few hopefully picked up on and I may or may not expand on as it all depends on my time on laptop (before divorce is threatened)

1: Literary Skill like JKR must earn you good money. Believe it or not I think I am very poor at English failed my O-Grade English, paid for a tutor and passed it the next year. Not having English prevented me from going to University so I went to college and did a Business Studies with Computers (can’t even recall now what it was) along with Higher English and O-Level Accounts (all Passed obviously the accounts was an A pass) and this was to enable me to gain access to University but I took a summer job in a computer company and stayed there about 15 years.

At present there are no similarities with JKR (Harry Potter) because I am not female, not in the Sunday Times Rich List (yet) and I don’t write fiction only the truth.
