before i went out there was a whole thread in which, amongst other things, samson was accused of being a member of the bnp, a white supremacist, a ******, and, most bizarrely, a farmer. now i've come home, where's it gone?

There is an untrue myth - and slur - about Dickens, that his novels were so long because he was paid by the word.

Just saying.

I'm a bit surprised you're not on the blower (old-fashioned compared to Twitter, of course) to the newsdesks already.

This is not made up, this just happened. I came on here this just now, saw the latest contributions from Andrew, and thought, "Oh yes, that reminds me. I want to ask XXX (a Church of Scotland minister friend of mine) about something in the Bible". Thought association, eh, looking at Andrew's writings made me wonder if it would be quicker to actually plough through the Bible! :)

In the 13 years on this board, is how pleasant it was, for the bulk of that time, in comparison with so many other vitriolic ones. There was a camaraderie which embraced even our resident sceptic, Baz, who, I think I am right in speaking for most of us, has been held in something approaching affection rather than despised. I don't like watching this board sinking to the depths of spite and contempt that is the sad characteristic of so many others.

The unfortunate performance of the share price, BlakeneyP, as you will remember with a shudder yourself, began when we were on the way to £2 (would probably have been there in a day or two more) and the Board in their wisdom decided to hand out shares at "mates rates" of £1.30 or thereabouts.

Gotcha at last, Andrew. You gave it away when you said "I do know there are multiple ongoing investigations". Although I have to confess I had to look you up on Google. You're really Angela McLaren.

Sound words, Baz. I can't take all this. I think I'll go and buy another Whitebeam, LOL

Thanks, TB. Well that strikes me as more of a case for the defence than the prosecution!

Hi TB, can you give me a very quick explanation of the police investigation, please. I am very much not up-to-speed. I am the complete opposite to Mr Andrew. Unlike him, I am not on here 25 hours a day, 8 days a week. For me, planting the fruit trees, the Whitebeam, the Pierises and the bedding plants is a more useful way of spending my time than imagining more and more and more reasons for slitting my wrists. :):) Thanks.

Barc and I go back. They come, they go, they come again.

That's lemmings. And even if it were a donkey, if it's sitting it would be difficult for it to reach the edge of the cliff.

Dear Andrew, a simple question, if I may. If you haven't been here "sweating for 10 years", why are you so very concerned with this hopeless, lost cause NOW?

"What's good for the goose......."

No, that would be a valid comment if you were aiming it at ME. TB can, and will no doubt, fight his own corner. You could also say the same about Samson, he too has been posting exclusively about SGZ of late. But I've known him on here for a long while. And I've not always agreed with him. But I know that he takes a well-balanced and well-reasoned view on things. Not starting from a default of 'The End of the World is Here' and then constantly painting ever more coats on to this Wall of Gloom.

Who is this person, anyway? Unlike some of us who've been around here since The Dawn of Time (well, some of those who weren't here at the start, at least), I see our friend arrived in 2023 and has since posted over 200 times, all about SGZ.

I wondered if someone would pick me up on that, cj. But I think you get my point. We here in Scotland are now living with a Government where ageism dare not speak its name. If you're much over 30 it seems there's no place for you in the Cabinet. And a truly brilliant job the wunderkinds seem to be making of it :)

Well, people are determined to find the negatives, come what may. We've even had a comment that the new chairman is 70, as if this implies that he's likely to keel over and die within the next ten minutes. I'm 75. The President of the United States is 80.

Not surprising that the one RNS gets more interest and comment than the other. We live in a world where focus on personalities is greater than any interest in boring facts and figures.

I know I'm non-technical to the extent of being simplistic, but as one of the many who've sat through all this since 2010, can I just ask what the geologists and other experts we've employed all these years have exactly been doing? If I had been a LTH in a nascent margarine manufacturer I'd be a bit miffed if, after 13 years, the food technologists suddenly announced, "Oh, crikey! It's not margarine after all".

When I first got into buying shares after retirement I went for dull, staid FTSE100 companies. But then I fell into the trap of seeking a bit more excitement on AIM. And what a trap it has proved to be. Over the past 15 years or so I have lost far more money than I have made. For about a nano-second in the autumn of 2020 I was actually seriously in the black, thanks to SGZ, having waited 10 years for this! And we all know what happened next. The latest turn of events has convinced me that my original strategy was right all along. So, the likes of BARC here I come! Barclays will never make me an overnight millionaire, but neither will it leave me thinking, "Oh well, that's this year's holiday gone west".
