A post a minute from AgArAc. rubbishing the rumour.

Whether there is any truth in this Supposed Betaville article looks like that owe AgArAc a new pair of pants as he just filled his.

Friday could be fun - "it's Friday , I'm in Love"

Held for around 5 years.

Watched this rise to 40p (or very nearly) 3 times and didn’t sell
i Have averaged down, now well in profit and hold more than my wife knows (And still have one of my pots at an average of 9p).
I for one hope we are bought by The Chinese for daft money soon - because THAT way the timing of my sell will be easy.

I will sell the lot if we are bought over by a Chinese Company - no way am i willing to become an investor in a Chinese Company. Am i the only one who thinks this - not heard of any others sharing this view - but surely i cannot be the only one?

Easy decision and no matter what the price does after i sell - i will be happy with my decision.

**Cullen Skink Soup - not Skint.

But you all knew that anyway.

Not just a good tune from 1971 - but pretty accurate for my Saturday.

My Whisky collection was looking a bit sad - so me and Mrs Skint Architect took a wee wander from Glasgow up along the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond to Tyndrum on Saturday. As you do.

A very nice 1hr 45 run and even though it was bouncing rain and mist all the way there and back - it was still well worth the effort.

4 bottles of the good stuff purchased from Tyndrum Whisky Shop (inside the Green Welly stop) and a bowl of Cullen Skint Soup went down well. One of the bottles will go with hundreds of other in my loft - The Tyndrum Gold Mine 2nd Edition "Big Peat bottling" by Douglas Laing. One of only 480 bottles produced exclusively for Tyndrum Whisky shop. The other 3 will live much shorter lives and make an old man happy.

Point of the post?

Not really much of a point other than to say - "through the mists and the rain" we couldn't see any sign of the Mine from the main road - not even the "big shed" or even a sign saying "The gold is up here". We may be in a National Park and we may be "a big and messy industry" , but hats off to the local team - you are doing this right and with very little visual impact, if any.

Made it home in time for the Rugby - so all in all a belter of a day.

I am beginning to wonder if the MM teams are so busy giving RK1 and his wife "firm" quotes all day that they have not had time to increase the Ask...?

Interesting to see that both Norway Nellie and Tom1927 immediately resort to personal insults and questioning of my intellect.

Evidence that “Chat room and social media bias bubbles” are a real worry when you see behavior like this as soon as slightly alternate views are expressed.

My thoughts (and i did say IMHO) are from a company owning, SME business perspective (a voice rarely represented in UK media). The two papers mentioned have healthy sales - but are targeted at a certain demographic that laps up what they print. I am concerned about the huge Left wing bias in most other papers, the major TV news media and in every panel show, chat show etc - where the PRIVATE sector business community - is never considered / heard.

As for your “Les Dawson post” this morning Nellie _ all the right words just not in the right order.

See how easy it is to make cheap, personal comments rather than discuss like experienced adults?

all IMHO

skint

i disagree Norway Nellie.
What you describe is - inflation.
Or rising cost of living or …………

…….. a return to “normal” mortgage rates and interest rates - not this 0.5% abnormal rates youngsters have enjoyed for 10 years.

100 years ago the world accepted sacrifices no other generation had endured to stop Germany.
Then it happened again to stop the Nazi’s.
Perhaps - today we may (as a generation) need to sacrifice some “new normals’ to stop Putin - as we refuse to buy his gas.
But we are not being asked to enlist or sign up to fight.

This is a cost of living squeeze - and it is dreadful and frightening for many - but it is NOT a recession and may not affect everyone or cost millions of jobs - lasting years.

Technically The BOE can call it a recession ( the subject of this thread) and the BBC and others have something to talk about night after night - but my point is that not many businesses outside the square mile are experiencing “recessionary worries’ yet - apart from energy costs, supply costs, material costs (and most if these relate to Covid and Putin).

I have managed businesses i own through 4 recessions.

What we are experiencing today - feels very different and the BOE and UK gov - could do more to help.

all IMHO

Skint

.

IMHO the BOA no longer have any credibility.
They just talk their own book and when they speak / act it is only to look after themselves and the banking world or London City insiders.

They do not speak for or look after SME companies - the vast majority of companies or employers in UK

Outside of the City (And our hysterical left wing media) There is little evidence of a pending recession, (at all) let alone the worst ever lasting 2 years.

There certainly is a cost of living spiral with energy costs, food costs, inflation, wage inflation and much hardship for everyone - but how much of this is a result of bad policies and poor financial control in recent year?

BOE could play a roll in helping the UK through all this - but that isn’t what the management of “the BOE business” want to do with “what they see as their cash”

as i say all in MHO

Sean,
Have to admit i had to google “Chrystal palace Glasgow”
Turns out one of Glasgow’s best buildings (which will always be the Gardeners warehouse to me ) , is now a Spoons pub.

when i studied Architecture way back on 1982 this was Gardiner’s furniture warehouse - and our lecturers were proud to tell us Spotty youths something like ‘ first commercial use of cast iron facade in UK ‘ with lessons learned from London Chrystal Palace.

Happy to buy you a celebration cider and a single malt for me - before Christmas.

Reasons to be cheerful. …….1……..2………3……

Do you know the phrase …….” I don’t want to be out of this share in case a huge RNS lands”

I think TODAY is that day.

Good luck all

Skint

What i wouldn’t give for one of those wee pen thingies that Tommy Lee Jones had in MIB.
One quick “everyone look over here” and we could wipe this LSE board and start again.

We all wake up tomorrow (me slightly fuzzy from a few 10 Year old Rock Island Drams) - a Blend of 10 year old Single Island Malts - from Douglas Laing) and concentrate on :

A company that said they would do something - and did
No commentary on whether it was late or badly worded.

We could discuss - “is this idea new?”
We could debate is “this idea scalable?”
We could ponder “is the SP likely to rise from here - or fall”

And nobody would give a thought to “who said what and when or why” and who has the biggest Boabie - (not me).

Tomorrow could be a new day - if we want it bad enough.

Skint - (kinda) and enjoying the Blend of Single Malts and dreaming of what this Board could be with proper Admin.

I love when this share get back and above 0.001

Or simply 10

One less”zero” after the “point” to type before i find out how much i am down.

Nice to see it Green for a change - long time waiting.

skint

Nice upbeat RNS today.

Columbia ........ Anza .......... “That drilling has recently commenced” .........!

I think this is news - apologies if it it isn’t and i missed an earlier announcement that the soil and rock sampling previously announced (lasted only 2 weeks) had finished and drilling started.

I am looking forward to more assay results and drilling updates in coming weeks

Could the dark days be behind us and we start a steady climb back up?

Skint

Just wondering aloud.

Maybe they left as they both hold multiple NED positions and ....... SYME is about to move into a much more intensive phase of activity. Perhaps they had time for sleepy (pre IM SYME) but couldn’t find time in diary for what is about to happen.

That is the glass half full version

Fluffy.
Let me make this easy for you.

It is NOT about me being an architect.
It is about you NOT being an architect. - but claiming a title you have no right to.

If i decided to start calling myself Dr Skint i think most would agree that i was a fantasist.

You are wrong - admit it and maybe 1% of the regulars on here may think you are less of a Diddy.

Skint.

Fluffy - now educated on the Legal use of the word “Architect” changes subject and has a drunken rant against a list of random “sun bingo” hot topic People / causes.

I counted 20

And two people instantly ticked up this loathsome individual.

Desperate for attention or what.

skint

Good question Gino 73.

We ( in my opinion wrongly) protected the title - architect.
Like it or not. [ and the IT profession certainly don’t like it] Legally the only people allowed to use the title architect are

Architect
Landscape architect.
Naval architect.

But anyone can design buildings - lodge planning and building control applications etc
If they are not registered architects they may not have PI insurance and often use titles like “Architectural” or “designers” to avoid legal issues.

In europe you often need a registered architects to stamp drawings and you have to pay for that

but in the UK - it is only the Title that is protected - not the job.

Our young students spend 7 years studying and have to sit professional exams and agree to uphold the standards and be bound by the rules of the ARB. Our Code Of Conduct.

it is therefore slightly annoying when IT people decide to use the title (for no other reason (as Fluffy has admitted) to increase salary - without the effort and dedication.

Which 56 weeks ago when this thread started- was my point.

I have Been invested in Solg for over 12 years - and looking forward to what could be our biggest week.

If it all goes to plan i can quit this BB and leave it to the half dozen “ self appointed losers” who can never admit they are wrong.

Skint .

Sean,
Happy to meet up anywhere they sell Whisky.
I am "an old man" - happy with Pot Still / Bon Accord / Lismore / Horseshoe - but have given up on 'spoons app many times and made the servers go get a pad and a pen.

Nothing wrong with "some" of your posts and you deserve a tick up now and then "when you are behaving."

I will leave you to organise the Maserati parking and drinks for the £1.32 party.

I ticked up a post about Mr Magoo being short sighted, as i thought it was funny - then noticed it was from Seanhunter.

What is the protocol in an event like this?

Do I beat myself up - or with others come round to do that for me.

No hard feelings Sean Hunter - as a fellow Glaswegian - we can meet up at the Pot Still for a few Single Malts and i can give you a big hug.

I think you need a hug - so much angst.

Skint

I am delighted at the speed we are moving at in Argentina.
The only way to know if this JV is a good idea - is boots on the ground.

But i am surprised at 2 comments today about OMI getting to “production“

That would worry me as i am invested here in an “exploration and discovery company“. I am not here for production. SOLG fell down the production worm hole 4 years ago and look what that did to share price.

I hope OMI stick to what they are good at

all just MHO
