Meanwhile, your 'Mayers' posts are dull dull dull. Can you do one from your sinister 'hvs' character? They are extremely funny and always make me laugh!

[gettingrichslow] 15/12/2018 22:46

Yeah Mayers, fascinating, do you find people avoiding you at parties? Or down the pub?

Those interested in these delusional states may wish to know of a programme series just run on BBC Radio 4 1.45-2.00pm over the last 2 weeks,presented by a psychologist from Leicester University (recoverable on iplayer). Their wider clinical importance is that they represent a hinterland of neurology and psychiatry: whilst some states clearly relate to cerebral pathology, post-head injury, cerebrovascular disease etc, others show no pathology on clinical investigation, at least by current methods.

It rather looks as though these are behavioural states released either by the pressures of psychosis in the psychogenic sense or by cerebral pathology and this brings together the two disciplines of neurology and psychiatry which has important implications for both.

Lost the will to live half way through that rather waffly post, Meanwhile. Good to see that you are still active on this board though, I was beginning to think you must have slipped on some sheep poo and fallen down a disused coal mine or something. What do you make of your foul-mouthed Leftie friend announcing he is moving to Scandinavia to 'escape from the Brexit chimps and morons'??

The UK Cake

Oh I do warm to Nicola Sturgeon and want to give her more and more.

[jackdaw4243] 15/12/2018 17:37

I moored my boat in Swansea for many years and found it superb, I have friends who have property in Pembrokeshire who have difficulties as the area economically is so overlooked by the UK. On balance the British have not given the Welsh a fair piece of the U K cake.

Kiss of Death
BUR mentioned in the I C.

[gettingrichslow] 14/12/2018 11:52

I assumed they'd be completely free in Merthyr, Yertiz?? Have they started charging for them? Ho ho. Having said that I honestly don't think I could live in Wales if it was completely free. Life is too short.

[yertiz] 14/12/2018 11:00

You can pick up a whole terrace in Merthyr for the price of a couple of bikes.

[gettingrichslow] 14/12/2018 10:54

3? Call that a property portfolio??

[meanwhile] 14/12/2018 10:44

getting,

You should really specify which house you mean? Don't forget we've got 3.

Hi Getting

I’m winding down for Christmas. So many fun events over the next fortnight, starting with a family lunch in Bristol today. Not Bill’s.

I’m ok with Plus but looking to add Burford and Syncona.

[gettingrichslow] 14/12/2018 10:20

B+, it's probably the warmest place in his house. Just bought another slug of PLUS on the dip today following this morning's events, that's it for me now on PLUS I'm not going in any more! Really tempted to go for another load of BUR though...

[brexitplus] 14/12/2018 08:25

Meanwhile, why would you want to sit in the fridge to eat cheese??

[jackdaw4243] 13/12/2018 20:08

Channel Islands not in EU, great place I spend 3 months a year there.

[jackdaw4243] 12/12/2018 20:21

That report I shared was to a certain extent confidential, obviously not now, silly me.
Irwin Mitchel here they come.

[gettingrichslow] 12/12/2018 17:47

Jackdaw, she wasn't a closet Remainer, she was quite openly a Remainer all through the 2016 Referendum campaign. She has never hidden it.

[brexitplus] 12/12/2018 17:22

Possibly so!!!!!😂8514;😂ԅ14;

[jackdaw4243] 12/12/2018 16:21

B+
Was this your take on the situation ?

"Theresa May has made such an awful hash of Brexit and being Prime Minister because she's actually a double agent placed here by the EU to ensure the UK remains part of the Evil Empire, Europe!
Lots of otherwise sane people now believe she's always been a Closet Remainer, and deliberately screwed up Brexit to force a Remain vote in a second, third or fourth referendum."

[brexitplus] 12/12/2018 13:25

Jackdaw

I tend to agree. Promoted above ability.

My best guess is she will win today, stay but this depends on the majority, lose in January then step down.

Good for investing opportunities!!!

From my Investor's News Sheet


"It’s not my role to comment on politics, but on markets. But we’ve now got to think seriously on what the Curious Case of Theresa May is doing to the value of UK Inc. To understand how the UK gets out of this political quagmire, we need to understand how we got there in the first place. Whoever takes over has much to rectify. Consider the timeline:

Although Theresa looked the part as a ghoulish home secretary, she was pretty ineffective and stalled in the headlights of immigration. Even then, she looked promoted well past her competence level.

She made premier because of Cameron’s spectacular mistake calling the referendum, Boris and Gove self-combusting, and literally being the last person standing. She was a poor compromise candidate, a straw figure the big dogs of the party thought they could fight (each other) behind.

The Brexit process spiralled out of her control behind her back, as she allowed Article 50 to be triggered in a rush without a plan, a team, a clear identification of the threats and pitfalls, or a clear set of objectives. She never managed the process. She tried to make it the Brexit side’s problem – demonstrating a woeful lack of responsibility.

She then threw away her parliamentary majority in a spectacularly ill-conceived snap election with no comprehension of how her party stood. It demonstrated profound misjudgement and absolute lack of political common sense. The only way out was her abject bribery of the Northern Irish Taliban – which is working out oh so well…

Its increasingly clear she failed to direct the Brexit negotiations, never understood the entirety of the problems, entrusted the game to wrong-uns, and didn’t make any effort to explain the need for compromise till it was too late. 2 years were squandered and then compressed into a few weeks.

Because she was a compromise, she does not have real support from her colleagues. The fact she then tried to hide legal advice, got crushed in Commons procedural votes, blinked when confronted with likely defeat, and now wants to play the game down to the wire, confirm how beleaguered they left her.

If the CEO of a company you were invested in did the same… you would demand their resignation. But that assumes there would be someone to replace her… Who?

As we approach the March Brexit endgame, who would possibly want to take the job, enter into impossible negotiations with the EU? Some Tory idiot will be telling their supporters that Europe will be forced to deal with a new empowered Prime Mininster. No they wont.

If May is dethroned later today. Sell.
If she survives, nothing changes. Sell.
Where is David Miliband when you need him?

Out of time.. Just like Theresa."
