Hello Minerve,

Stalking you eh?
I wouldn't be too worried at the moment, but I would if it looks as though he's started grooming you.

[minerve] 12/10/2018 18:25

Hi MEANWHILE

gettingminervedslowly has been stalking me again. Becoming a regular occurrence.

Should I be worried? 😂

[meanwhile] 12/10/2018 18:22

getting,

My wife has told me about your 'look at my wealth' statement a few days ago, as part of her research into your 'Fregoli delusion'.

I must say if I had such wealth, I would not only have a stuffed wallet as my profile photo but certainly a treasure chest photo. One of those chests described in Treasure Island. You could have coins and jewels (which you probably also have) hanging out, property photos and deeds, all that sort of thing.

If we're going to write pidgin English, how about 'dis fella, him not done fella'.

[meanwhile] 11/10/2018 18:37

Minerve,

Yes indeed, you must be hitting the right nerve.

[minerve] 11/10/2018 18:19

No need to answer, I honestly couldn't care less what you have.

Minny, I'm only down a few £k in each of those as been in MRO for many years and only bought £40k of PLUS and BUR so they are small % of my shareholdings. And I've got a lot more £ in property than I have in shares so I'm not crying over a correction.

In the absence any recent technical reports from 'The Cincinnati Motoring News' provided in the past by brexit+, I have this small offering for those of you missing this type of bulletin.

GKN Driveline offers the most comprehensive range of CV Joints Systems, providing tailored solutions for all types of passenger vehicles.
We understand the impact of selecting the right CV Joint System for our customers’ vehicles across front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive and electrified vehicle architectures, developing and refining solutions which meet and exceed performance targets to transmit power to the road in the most effective and efficient manner possible.

CV Joint Solution examples :-
Front-wheel drive small city car.
This sideshaft concept combines the proven UF type fixed joint on the outboard side (robust and cost-effective baseline solution for up to 50° maximum articulation angle) with the NVH benefits of the AAR plunging joint on the differential side. In combination with a Monobloc Tubular Shaft (MTS), this provides a very good choice for front-wheel driven vehicles or for the front axle of all wheel driven vehicles where smooth driveability and robust performance are the main drivers for the application.

Standard rear-wheel drive
For special low cost rear wheel drive vehicle applications, the GI-GI sideshaft provides a superior niche solution. This sideshaft is fully adapted to the specific vehicle requirements, offering adequate NVH, strength and durability in smallest packaging. Latest state-of-the-art manufacturing technology and sealing system ensure high robustness and reliability.

Hello Meanwhile and Minerve

There is much evidence to suggest that the misidentification syndromes reflect organic dysfunction in the non-dominant parietal lobe. A very interesting category of patients demonstrating the hinterland of neurology and psychiatry.

[minerve] 11/10/2018 10:23

LOL

A rare person indeed. A moron exceptionnel, inégalé;e , n'est-ce pas, mon ami?

[meanwhile] 11/10/2018 10:18

Minerve,

So he's pursuing you on other threads; you must indeed be hitting the right nerve.
Keep going.

I suppose we should feel honoured though, in view of the Fregoli text above, that we've come across somebody with such an extremely rare psychiatric disorder.

[meanwhile] 11/10/2018 09:59

Good Morning, Minerve,

I don't see getting's posts but I gather he's questioning my holding, an obsession of his. You can tell him 12/13 of my holding is the 95p 12 for 1 rights. I sold some at 230 to buy the shop, truck etc. I hold the rest.
Shop is doing reasonably well, merchandise is very slow but repairs & custom builds are at full capacity.

My wife has found some detail of his condition; Fregoli delusion. See below.

Top Cogn Sci., 2014 Oct;6(4):615-31. doi: 10.1111/tops.12108. Epub 2014 Sep 13.
The Fregoli delusion: a disorder of person identification and tracking.
Abstract
Fregoli delusion is the mistaken belief that some person currently present in the deluded person's environment (typically a stranger) is a familiar person in disguise.
Fregoli syndrome and (related) Capgras syndrome are psychological disorders which cause the patients to develop delusions regarding the people around them and their social interaction. They are called delusional misidentification syndromes (DMs). Both conditions are extremely rare and are believed to develop in patients who already have other psychiatric disorders

PS. Hope everything is well and your son's shop is doing OK.

Getting is now following me on other threads. How sad is that? I must be hitting the right 'nerve' don't you think? LOL

He is losing big-time on Plus, Bur and here. I don't think he is in a position to question you on your MRO holding, do you? The guy is a serial loser on shares it seems.

He is too much of a fanboy and doesn't use his own head.

[meanwhile] 11/10/2018 09:15

Welcome back, getting.

Getting to know you, Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you, Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you, Putting it my way, But nicely,
You are precisely, My cup of tea.

Yes,
precisely, my cup of tea.

yours faithfully
meanwhile, possibly ryelodge, possibly hvs, possibly others.

Minerve, NEDs salaries are fairly big for what they do but they're not crazy. There are far bigger salaries to worry about than Charlotte Twyning's that's for sure. You've said you're a Liverpool fan - most of the Liverpool players earn more in a week than she earns in a year so why are you not outraged about them?

[gettingrichslow] 10/10/2018 11:56

Meanwhile, then sell up! No-one is forcing you to invest in Melrose are they??

[meanwhile] 10/10/2018 10:39

dodger,

You say :-
"Still whinging about the bonus they earned. they could have sat on the couch and not created mro and people could have not enjoyed returns that are beyond what most companies make in 100 years, let alone 10."

You cannot justify people getting a gross excess simply on the grounds that they did considerably more than people who only got a regular excess.

Also you must remember that they didn't create the wealth/money they are associated with making, they just found a crafty way of redistributing it to end up in theirs and our pockets.

We all understand the purpose of rewarding effort with money, but some take it to a level that discredits it.

Minerve may be a communist (I personally don't know) but when it comes to knowledge & logical thinking, he leaves you standing.

[ryelodge] 10/10/2018 10:03

Oh Dear. What a bunch. Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

[minerve] 10/10/2018 09:35

Whatever. Idiot.
