Article today from sh***phro***ts:
"The RNS merely says that all resolutions at today’s Red Rock Resources (RRR) AGM were passed. But given the speculation that CEO Andrew Bell might be given the order of the boot given the **** poor share price performance of late, Mr Bell – or his Nomad Roland ”Fatty” Cornish are being unduly, and uncharacteristically, modest in not giving the actual results. Luckily, I can assist…
The vote was initially on a show of hands, but lest that be seen as an imitation of a Vladamir Putin cabinet meeting there was also a count of the proxies. On the show of hands the score was:
For Bell 100%
Against Bell 0%
Abstentions 0%
I hereby declare that Mr Andrew Ronald McMillan Bell has been duly re-elected as the honourable member for Red Rock.
The proxy vote was more tightly contested with Bell securing just over 96% of the votes cast with a little under 4% against. However, it should be noted that two large blocks of shares voted for Bell but, being incompetent poltroons, missed the deadline and that had those votes been counted the number would have bee >98% for Bell and sub 2% against.
Given the massive Bulletin Board chatter about Bell being given the order of the boot, the result might surprise some folks but Bell tells me: “Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shadow of the British oak, chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field.”
That, by the way, is not a quote from Mr Eric Cantona but from the great Conservative thinker Edmund Burke.
In reality, turnout at AGMs is almost always low. It would have cost me £40 to cast my votes so I, for what it is worth, did not lodge a proxy. And had I done so I would have voted to keep Bell not because he is my friend but because it is he who spins the plates at Red Rock. Without him, I sense some plates would crash. With him, enough may land in the right way to create enough value to chip in to the Goat Farm retirement fund"
