Another classic display last night by our resident jokers.

Remember the originals, another couple of idiots who posted in tandem.

So sure of Nicola Sturgeon's leadership of the SNP, we had to put up with exactly the same rhetoric until her demise. Then complete silence. 🤐

Troublesome & Paddy aka, the chuckle brothers is just history repeating itself.

They spend all day deriding facts published by official bodies which are proven indicators as to the direction of UK PLC and moaning about lack of Lloyds content.

I'm being antisocial posting to prats all afternoon.

See ya.

"By your omission in commenting"

STP, I've answered your post don't be a prat.

"As opposed to the plain open abuse from you TFE."

No abuse from me paddy, read your original post then my reply…”There are a few like that on here STP, its certainly a strange one.”

I think my reply summed it up nicely.

Embarrassing yeah , for you.

“tfe, congratulations on winning the competition, but i'd like you to acknowledge the role that labour have had in driving the share price up and also acknowledge your mistake in voting for the most catastrophic decision in uk politicial and economic history”

stp.

the main reason why the blue-chip ftse 100 index jumped by over 20% was the strong performance of top commodities during the year.

“the top gainers in the index were in the commodity sector. fresnillo’s stock price jumped by 446% this year as gold and silver jumped to their record highs. the mexican company is one of the biggest players in the silver market globally.

endeavour mining stock rose by 170% as it benefited from the elevated gold prices. the company, which operates large gold mines in africa, continued doing well as its mining production coincided with the rising prices.

meanwhile, anto***asta’s share price jumped by 106% this year as copper experienced its best performance in years. anto***asta is one of the biggest players in the copper mining business, delivering over $6.6 billion in annual revenue last year.”

uk banks continued rising as they benefited from the relatively higher inflation rate, which pushed the bank of england to maintain higher interest rates for longer. hence the lloyds 80% rise.

nothing to do with the government, only their actions to keep inflation up.

starmer has had absolutely no impact on how this sector has performed.

stp. you must educate yourself on the detrimental role that labour has inflicted on the uk economy.

footnote: i forgot you won't read this will you stp, as you've stated before your attention span won't tolerate long posts.

i'm having a drink atm your comment raised a few laughs.

keep em coming.

don't you just love this bb.

"There are a few like that on here STP, its certainly a strange one."

Paddy, is there any chance you could add something useful on the BB, instead of sniping around the edges?

For your info...

Sniping, the action of verbally attacking someone in a sly or petty way.

" Lads, Labour are playing a blinder!”

Well since labour took over, it's official, due to this government's policies the poor have been getting poorer.

All this euphoria, spare a thought STP.

For honouring their pledges.

Not sure how that happened Lti.

This year I've chosen the Alzheimer's Society as our charity.

Although I've had no direct involvement with Alzheimer's, several of my colleagues have experienced it with their elder relatives. Their stories have been horrendous.

It just bought it home to me that anyone can be affected by dementia and that it can be devastating for those involved.

Please give it your support, you don't have to be in the Mr Meekats EoY competition to contribute.

And a thank you to ‘Asperger1’ for his continued involvement in this worthwhile activity throughout the year.

Many thanks, TheFarEnd.

They laughed when I sat down to play the piano….

Well it's 98.24p they're not laughing now.

I'll put something together tomorrow Asperger1.

A bit worse for wear now, too much sherbet already and its early days.

Cheers all. HNY

Czq.

That comment wasn't aimed at you, but you probably know that.

All these nervous investors screaming about a 100p SP.

Let's hope it gets there soon and hopefully they will sell up and xxxx off.

So monotonous.

Info for cretins…

Monotonous. Dull, tedious, and repetitious; lacking in variety and interest.

Mmmm 🤔 anyone come to mind. I can think of a few.

Has she reinvented herself again Lti?

I see the two cretins were at it again yesterday, day and night.

Everything you two post is rightly deleted.

You have nothing of any relevance to say, the continued drivel, insults and attacks gets genuine investors views removed, most don't bother anymore.

Lloyds Banking Group (LON:LLOY) plans to close its invoice factoring service by the end of 2025, according to a Financial Times report published Sunday.

The decision to discontinue the service, which helps businesses improve cash flow by advancing money against unpaid invoices, was reported by the Financial Times based on information from two people familiar with the matter.

With businesses struggling under the weight of this government's clueless understanding of how business works. Also the constant additional government taxes and legislation, surely it's no surprise to find factoring services withdrawing their services and protecting their cash base.

A sign of further downturns to come perhaps?

“Rewarding failures isn’t the solution, it’s the cause.”

Isn't that what happens when you fk up in government? You're removed from your post and given a peerage.

The gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States rose 4.3% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2025, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced on Tuesday.

Starmer commented, well Trump didn't have to follow 14 years of… bla bla bla. Yeah yeah, yawn 🥱 zzzzzzzzzzz.

Just saying.

If anyone is interested....

The UK stock market (LSE) will be closed on Christmas Day (Thursday, 25 December 2025), Boxing Day (Friday, 26 December 2025), and New Year's Day (Thursday, 1 January 2026), with half-days on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve (half days closing 12:30 pm London time).

The US stock markets (NYSE and Nasdaq) will be closed on Christmas Day (Thursday, 25 December 2025) and New Year's Day (Thursday, 1 January 2026), with an early close on Christmas Eve, (1pm ET) but normal trading hours on New Year's Eve.

The first trading day for the new year is Friday 2nd January 2026, for both markets.

Wall Street futures were little changed on Tuesday in the absence of market-moving corporate news ahead of the Christmas holidays.

Bit like here.

The British economy expanded by 0.1% in the third quarter of 2025, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) confirmed on Monday, matching its preliminary estimate.

Probably be revised down later.

Gold prices climbed to a record high on Monday, breaking past $4,400 as momentum carried into another week of gains.

The move came after the US Federal Reserve lowered its benchmark rate by a quarter point last week, reinforcing expectations that further cuts could be on the way.
