iggy

I welcome your opinions on all war efforts. Please get of the old white charger in the sky.

MJ, merely expressing an opinion, always open to challenge. You're never slow to express your opinions on matters such as race so what's your problem with me expressing mine? Other than you disagreeing with a lot of them, natch.

Whose fault was the Rwandan conflict?

I'm gonna miss old Biffa, even though i'm one of the few poor sods who actually lost money in her. Heres to those heady days that October that is now a distant memory, with dear old Watwungyi and Beaudelaire, and i was a virgin lamb to the slaughter. Now i am a hardened trader and no longer sob myself to sleep when i lose shedloads. Happy days.

Tend to agree with you (groover66). You never know and bids often come in at the last minute. Some buying is still going on so others must think the same.

[groover66] 27/2/2008 16:58

Got two weeks chaps, any chance of another Bid. If not, any chance of someone starting the rumour.......still bloody holding!

[groover66] 26/2/2008 10:57

Steel balls, ah you mean the bionic man, Lee Majors. Those were the days.... Sorry about the outcome guys, dissapointing but you just never know. Thanks Bramley for your post 1975 - useful - guess we now know why it all took so long.

The band,steel balls went into meltdown,its an age thing.

[theband] 26/2/2008 07:43

46pete.....bail out ? what happened to those steel balls ?

[coogar] 25/2/2008 14:40

Oh well, it just wasn't meant to be.

Quite happy to hold on for 350p :)

It may be worth considering taking your profit before 6 April if you have not used up or at least have enough surplus capital gains tax unused out of your individual £9,200 allowance, leaving all of next years estimated £10,000 C.Gain tax to be used. ( Unused C.Gains allowance cannot be carried to the following year.) Hanging on for 350p from todays price will only gain 4.5p, and you will pay brokerage on the sale around £8-£10.

[groover66] 25/2/2008 09:04

Am I right in thinking that the present offer will go through in the next tax year, the money being paid on the 7th April ?

[homoerectus] 25/2/2008 08:54

Well certainly happy I sold at 3,6625 on the day the agreed bid was announced! A 4,5pc premium to the bid certainly looked good then and even better now of course!

For those that didn´t sell the best course now would be to wait for the agreed offer to go through.

The Biffa Board has now been informed by those third parties that they are no longer working towards making a competing offer for Biffa. As a consequence, the Biffa Board is now not aware of any third parties who are working towards making such a competing offer.

Sorry guys

3rd party no longer interested RNS this morning

[groover66] 25/2/2008 08:21

Heard nothing on Bloomberg.....anyone know why the drop? Last articles I read seemed pretty optemistic...

[peterz] 25/2/2008 08:14

Down to 345 - has others offers been withdrawn or significant shareholder acceptance????

[jon123] 25/2/2008 07:55

don't matter 350 the price at best now

[46pete] 25/2/2008 07:49

What do we do, hold or bail out quick !!!

[mitzis] 23/2/2008 09:04

400p would be realistic..
