Joe, I suspect strongly their average IQ is around 70. And the median about 50.
Candidates for MENSA, or the Nobel Prize in Literature, they most certainly are not.

I suppose the B^$^^ds will get round at some point to arresting some proper criminals? All I see of these state sponsored thugs is half a dozen of them surrounding a lone drunken old man on the street. Never less than 3 pairs. I suppose that counts as 3 cases, for the "cases solved" statistics.
One of them once told me they wait till 5 minutes before knocking off time to pick up the phone. Running over for a couple of minutes means an extra hour of overtime.

Backjiggle another attention seeker. Like that other chap (forget his name) we saw off after his allergic reaction to off topic posts. This chap will pass as well.

Banbury, wasn't Backjogle the chap who called FJG a boring old xxxx out of the blue? I assumed they had history from another site, but clearly it's indiscriminate!

Another teeny bopper in a 'mean nothing' newly created job, Joe?

800p. There's an Oxygen free gap.

You need to consult the Oracle of Graphey, Beach.

smorty.. you seem to like a little wager at the geegees?
I'll never fergit my visit to the lovely Coolmore Stud a couple of years ago. Stayed at an excellent hotel in Clonmel. 'Met' the living legend Galileo, Camelot, Churchill, The Gurkha, and others.
JP Magnier's private Museum - all state of the art interactive screens.... Derby and Ark trophies.... JP O'Brien's instructions - from another age - to his 'lads', ... Lester Piggot's outfit... a life size stuffed Saddler's Wells...
Incidentally, Galileo's covering fee is a 'secret'. But I asked. Half a million Euros a shot. But they are so protective of the bloodline, the Mares (with very exceptions) have to have won Black type races themselves, apparently. No wonder he Rules the Racing World.

Thanks.

Nice one with the link Beach.
Does anyone know what the profit (in £) is on each Voyage?

@select... Many moons ago. Left them to form the SDP, and later merged with the Liberals.

Talking about a gap in our lives... Baroness Shirley Williams also passed on yesterday. Lovely, and classy lady. Met her quite a few years ago when she came down to support my Liberal Candidacy for the UK General Elections.
The Tory made a big issue of Immigration (the Constituency had a non-white population percentage of 0.6%)... the Greens stood for the first time, and took a large chunk of our votes. Still, managed to come in second, ahead of Labour, UKIP and the Greens.
She'll be missed.

Just checked in to see if we had hit £8 yet... looks like we've fallen through the gap, rather than speeding unhindered through it! :-)

397 to 486?? I'd say they're a bit off... Should be 397.127 to 486.627

Not sure if this has been flagged up...

"Central to this is our plan for our people which saw us launch a new purpose, values and engagement programme. Overwhelmingly positive feedback has been received to date and is reflected in our colleague engagement score which has increased from September 2020."
Always makes me very nervous when the CEO starts waffling. His job is to get cash into the Bank. Not navel gaze.

Financial and operational highlights

· Underlying Profit Before Tax of £17.1m, against the backdrop of COVID-19 challenges

· Loss before tax of £61.2m reflecting £59.8m impairment of Travel goodwill in the first half

· Strong liquidity position, with total available cash of £75.4m and undrawn revolving credit facility (RCF) of £100m at 31 January 2021

· Strengthened balance sheet and improved financial resilience as a result of decisive actions taken over the last 12 months, including successful £150m capital raise in September 2020, recent review of covenants attached to term loan and RCF, and further deferral in relation to ship facilities

· Leverage ratio (excluding Cruise) of 2.7x, well within the covenant of 4.75x

· Robust response to COVID-19 challenges, with tight grip maintained on business: colleagues supported through the transition from office to home working, with no interruption to business; Travel reset and ready to operate once restrictions lifted; Insurance clearly focused on supporting customers through pandemic

· Positive progress made against all five pillars of the strategy outlined in September 2020, designed to return Saga to sustainable growth

No wonder everybody is so sickeningly friendly on this BB. Down south all this bonhomie is simply not the thing.
I've lived in my Close for over 20-years. I've only ever spoken to 4 neighbours in all that time. People walk past you and ignore you even if only 5 feet away. Very strange.

Ayyy Ba' Gum... Reet grand. Any road, ‘ere, wot’s f’r us tea Mutha?

It's from the housekeeping she's been squirelling away, Joe.
