Crumbs 06.13 etc - I'm glad RG has something to pursue in China and it is good to see - agreed.

RW 07.33 - I DO live in hopes AND I will EAT my hat if we see much come out of either meet - 'waste of time' is how C7 characterised my words. It may be close but it's a characterisation. NB - 05.52 I had already pointed out - ''I tend to be cynical about attending too many events but I wouldn't go so far as to say the networking is a 'waste of time' ''. OK ?

RR 07.33 - No intention to mislead at all. In 07.23 I was pointing out to Crumbs that 'waste of time' was C7's characterising of MY VIEW rather than my own words. If I'd known you were around shooting from the hip as usual - I would have been even clearer. NB - 05.52 I had already pointed out - ''I tend to be cynical about attending too many events but I wouldn't go so far as to say the networking is a 'waste of time' ''.

C7 - you characterised my words as 'waste of time' twice in your 05.34. They were your words as a description of mine - that's all.

RR 07.37 - obviously a massive opportunity in China. Agreed.

Hi. 'Waste of time' - C7's words not mine.

'Frontline communication' - well of course it is. But do we have a shotgun or a well targeted rifle in our frontline?

I agree RG's China trip might be more than averagely interesting. One last FAT RG triumph would go down well.

ATB

Just MHO - RG is following up on a previous 'connect' - otherwise, CH would surely have gone.

I tend to be cynical about attending too many events but I wouldn't go so far as to say the networking is a 'waste of time'. Let's hope RG produces one last FAT triumph for us - ATB

Quite sure that RG is following up on previous China 'connects' as you suggest. Otherwise I think CH would have gone. I'll eat my hat if we see much come out of either meet - but hope springs eternal.

Guessing our next news items will be FDA approval of the IND submission - (maybe just a few weeks to wait), Patent announcement - (if I dare mention), followed by the CRUK Grand Challenge result. And anything of a 'left field' or monetization nature to boot !

Later the commencement of the trials should give us a bounce SP wise . . roll on the day.

I posted what I thought was fair comment on unhelpful comment and I tried to be polite about it. That's it. I'm sure you agreed with this, ''Perhaps Bermuda will return when he's ready and I hope so. Meantime, he will be much missed''.

Looking on the bright side, spent the day with Mrs' Sister and Hubby from the USA - 2 twins one year old - 2 lbs and 1 lb when born. The little one was in Hospital for the first 6 months - the bill $1,000,000. Crikey.

Keep smiling - I'll be interested to hear CH comments and some more blue would be nice. GL

Interesting news - I hadn't made that connection Botski but you may be right - perhaps RG is following some of his previous contacts through. Thanks to the BoD for the update anyway. GLA

Konar you made a massive effort and your input is always appreciated. Thank you. You too Inan . . .

Ruck 13.42 - nicely done - just a little obvious. Any other negatives in sight. ?.

Good Night all . .

C7 I am glad that you were able to post at such length about the recent discussion. But with due respect, I don't think that the 'arbitration' has gone too well - maybe ignited the fire again ?

I am as concerned as anyone about your health and noted recently that you posted that you had lost 40 KG in weight in recent months and that was most distressing - did you mean 40 LBS ? But as I have always said to you - everyone - even ONW - wishes you well on the health front. You CAN take that as read.

Coming back to the thread - I read both 'sides' with interest - thanks Guys.

Berm I much agree with your second para on 'communication'. Myself I'm impatient not jittery - I don't see it as moaning.

Ciaskin IMO neither the website or RNS/RNSR should be in Sally Adam's brief AT ALL. Or in FTI's brief for that matter. CH should be keeping a note on his phone of, 'things I CAN tell the shareholders about' and updating it daily. He's in the central position and knows all that is going on. Then some low cost sub contractor can punch it on to the website for a weekly update.

So it's suggested that CH has time to reply to a range of email enquiries individually but doesn't have time to give us some simple updates ?

Berm and Konar - most helpful update.

and give it A break ! ATB

Mock as you like, but I think I know what Inan is saying.

BTW, I did fail both physics, chemistry and maths 'O' level btw but modesty forbids me from telling you the rest !

What Inan says is not outrageous at all. GP's are focused on Patients and whatever research they absorb as slammed in front of them by the Pharma. Hospital Doctors have no time to think. Researchers are in their own tunnels. Pharma Exec are blinkered by the need to survive by making the decisions they have taken appear to be everlastingly the right one. You know, that moment when the Boss says, 'but you said' !

73 trillion cells in the human - get inside that ! Prof Lindy seems to have done that 'cancer wise'.

Now, I think, because of all the limitations I describe above, it is more than possible that those with a little or a lot ability, that have followed just one train of science, for 10 years, might well, with all due limitations, be as 'up' or even more, on the specific subject, as the other Folk in the same field, absorbed elsewhere.

Give it break.

Ivy 09.55 you posted, ''Not just about the amount of time Sally may spend on the website it is the distraction from her other work. Either outsource or give it to a PhD student if they were so worried about the cost''.

Surely Scancell will have a website sub contractor who they just contact with updates - that should be a minimal cost.
But Scancell do have to provide the material for those updates and that is definitely for CH IMHO.
It's the role of the CEO to communicate with Investors.

No more than a 10 minute job per week for CH to do an update to Investors whenever he can . . .

''Given the aggressively entrepeneurial nature of Chinese business, I wonder if Scancell presenting in China might at the very least concentrate a few minds in the USA or Europe''.

Seen no other comment on this which I thought was a good point. Maybe CH is right to get out there and see what other interest may be around - 'concentrate the minds' as RW said or perhaps make it clear that there might be other options around for Scancell in due course.

I'm not sure what the negative was M8 ?

Anyway - it's just a 20 minute presentation atm but of course, CH will do some networking and there may be other discussions lined up of course.

Have to wait and see . . .

Ciaskin - with respect, I think FTI are not close enough to the action and would be too expensive.

It's no more than a 10 minute job per week for CH to give us an update to Investors wherever he can . . .

Well yes some progress in China would be 'Left Field' but it's just a 20 minute presentation for now. ATB.

The website should be CH's ticket - his chance to communicate ?
IMO it's since RG moved on that the communications have faltered.
Absolutely NOT SA - agreed.
.

Absolutely right Berm. Most of the tweets do not even originate at Scancell ! Some sort of a 'Court Circular' or regular update as to Events/Attendees and Visits and even a 'still waiting' report on some matters, would do no harm at all.

Let's see what CH can turn up - I always had the impression that RG had a top grip on the science - I wonder if CH has got there yet ?

Good luck to him.

Thanks Ivy. Interesting - if anything should come out of the 'China connection', it'd be some considerable time in the making I guess.

I would not be alone in wishing that Scancell's science is developed in the UK, Europe or the USA.

That said, nothing ventured, and I'm reminded of that old saying, ''one man's £4 billion is as good as another man's £4 billion''. Tick tock . . . . . . . . . . .
