Minerva, all animals are innocent they do what is natural to them. Are you a vegan?

[minerve] 26/10/2018 16:46

Nothing like a good killing of an innocent animal eh? LOL

Losos, NW England on banks of River Ribble. Lots of sheep, geese, walking and shooting!

RibbleWader - "I want one for Christmas please,"

If you live in any of our larger cities I would think this vehicle is essential ;-)

When the Germans stop selling them Mercedes, Porsche and BMW then maybe we should rethink our arms sales.

[fangorn2] 26/10/2018 11:27

Ah superb.
Not seen anything hit news wire myself.

[squidsgone] 26/10/2018 10:31

@Fangorn
Now announced officially by the Belgian Govt.

[fangorn2] 26/10/2018 10:14

"Defence companies BAE Systems (BAES.L) and Rolls Royce (RR.L) were down 2.2 percent and 2.5 percent respectively on growing calls for Europe to halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia after the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi"


We'd be crazy to halt arms sales. Thousands of jobs depend on such.

And it's not as if Germany exports much in the way of arms to Saudis(They've knocked such sales on the head) and someone else(US,China,Russia) would just move in and supply instead.

In this modern era we have to hold our noses and continue selling imo.

Khashoggi was a nasty shyster, Moslem brotherhood and frankly I suspect he had it coming. Nasty way to go though for sure.

Belgium Reportedly Picks US F-35 Over Eurofighter Typhoon

The Belgian government reportedly plans to allocate a total of 15 billion euros (17.2 billion dollars) for the purchase and maintenance of the 34 new warplanes.



Is that decision final? They mentioned it 3 days ago or so. Wondered if the decision had finally been made.

[squidsgone] 26/10/2018 09:14

Yes RibbleW - only official now

[ribblewader] 26/10/2018 08:13

Bit late being released but BAE at AUSA 2018

The Association of the United States Army’s (AUSA) Annual Meeting is the largest landpower exposition and professional development forum in North America, bringing together hundreds of Army and industry exhibitors with the common goal of supporting the warfighter. This year, BAE Systems (booth #1103) is showcasing how we are driven to deliver advanced technology where it counts.

APKWS® Laser-Guided Rocket


Mentioned this before, BvS10

A proven workhorse in battle situations, the BvS10 armored all-terrain vehicle provides the perfect combination of mobility, payload and protection............. I want one for Christmas please, thank you.

[ribblewader] 26/10/2018 08:00

Is this what your refering to squid,

[squidsgone] 26/10/2018 06:30

F35's for Belgium rather than Typhoons

[squidsgone] 26/10/2018 06:29

Belgium announced they have down-selected F35 following competition with Typhoon.

[ribblewader] 25/10/2018 16:47

Nice steady recovery please, I wont push my luck but low £6 would be nice (thats that pesky £6 again!)

[ribblewader] 25/10/2018 11:37

Typhoon is in contention for this, dont know who the consortiums sale's nation is for it though.........

Switzerland’s Air 2030 plan narrows down options

[minerve] 25/10/2018 11:17

wad

Yes. After this:

"Blind hatred of America and it's foreign policies is sixth form socialism to a tee. Political equivalent of daddy issues."

A disrespectful comment implying that my views and understanding of the world haven't progressed since sixth-form and implying anyone who does have some positive thoughts towards socialism the same. Disrespectful!

And then "Daddy issues" - what is all that about?

Here is the Minerve lesson:

Respect me. I'll respect you.

Sarcastic comments will not be ignored.

[wad collector] 25/10/2018 10:41

Minerve; you think your posts are necessary? Look at your posting and try and imagine that you are an unbiased observer and decide what you would think.

Still in his nappy. A lot to learn here, and in life too, I'm sure. LOL

Have a look at an Atlas tonight chimp, instead of watching Hollyoaks. ;)"

"Defence spending under President Trump and a continuing boom in air travel boosted Boeing, leading the aircraft manufacturer to raise its full year profit guidance after reporting better than expected third-quarter results. Shares in Boeing were trading about 3 per cent higher at $360.50 by mid-morning in New York" - FT yesterday.

[cmackay] 25/10/2018 10:12

Minerve; yes you may.

"But despite the fact I'm still young enough to wake up with an erection I have managed to build businesses from scratch on 3 continents and am currently expanding my Caribbean incorporation across various other islands, so I will leave the atlas for the bookshelf thank you."

May I suggest you focus on your business then rather than making childish comments towards others who are more experienced and know what they are talking about. You will soon find out I know more. Your ego may struggle to deal with that fact. If your business is so successful I would recommend you leave ADVFN and focus your time and efforts on that. It will provide a better return than socialising and listening to morons here and investing in shares that on average will fail to live up to expectation.

[fangorn2] 25/10/2018 09:38

Absolutely agree.

In other news, little of interest.

Minerve likes to argue on BBs. Can I suggest a different BB?
