Porky since you are being so modest and humble, how about a list of your failures.

I see you've ducked the question Meanwhile, and instead, rolled out the same thing you've rolled out sooooo many times before. Cowardly, just like Minerve!

Results out on Thursday next week.

I'll be looking for a declared final dividend of at least 3p, the total payout over the 5 billion shares then being equal to, or in excess of, the total 2018 bonus to the 3 directors, earned we are told, through their exceptional efforts. Even the most stupid on here will be able to appreciate the ratio of 5 billion to 3.

Of course since bonus day they've not done too good a job for shareholders, as Minerve has correctly pointed out today. (He needs to point that out because most people here don't get it.) So we need to see in the annual report, some
acceptance and reflection of the fact that the shares, in a steady market, have fallen by 25-30%.

Yes, these directors have been very successful in the past. But that is indeed the past. Unfortunately for rational comment, this is the very place where most people on this site appear to be living.

Meanwhile, if you seriously think that is 'well documented' then I'm afraid you are under a serious illusion. How about you try this...name another board on ADVFN where you've seen B+ or Yertiz upset a whole load of posters and end up in endless arguments with them to the detriment of the board? Struggling? That's because they haven't done that. Now try the same thing with Minerve! There are numerous examples. On all of them he calls people morons, chimps, c*nts, idiots etc etc. There are examples where he has been hounded off the board completely! Is everyone on all those boards wrong???

It is getting all rather childish. I am game for a laugh but it does get a little tiring after a while. Surely we can aspire to greater things, no?

The humour today from the 'bragster group' is nothing short of painful. I've even heard funnier material on 'Live at the Apollo' and on BBC Radio 4.

A particular feature of this brand of humour is the references to people's wives,
which can often get a laugh or smile from the simple minded listener. It has been called 'schoolyard humour' (with reference to people's sisters rather than wives) and '3rd class degree humour'.
It's the humour of the 3rd class simpleton.

Yertiz

I’ve just had a horrible thought. Do you think Porky and Sheepy perform with their false teeth in or out??

[minerve] 25/2/2019 14:05

Do you balls hang low,
Can you swing 'em to and fro,
Can you tie 'em in a knot,
Can you tie 'em in a bow,
Do you get a funny feeling,
When they're hanging from the ceiling,
Oh you'll never be a sailor,
If you balls hang low.

Obviously never served any time for Queen and country, quite possibly have never done anything for anyone, ever. You are nothing more than a simple selfish sycophantic simpleton Sheepy Leapy. Hahaha.



Nice rise today, MRO broken through the 180p ceiling that has been a challenge for some weeks, let the trend be your friend.

Yertiz :-
"If you think this is an assault, then I'd seriously suggest you break out of your cotton wool world and start living a bit, son".

Even more pitiful. I am indeed trying to break out of this 'cotton wool world' here in North wales, using the following battlecry.

"Pull up the yard arm, raise the rollocks, me shipmates, break out amidships, let's get out of this landlubbers cotton wool world".

[yertiz] 25/2/2019 13:22

Still filtered me then MW/Sheepy/Leapy Lee? If you think this is an assault, then I'd seriously suggest you break out of your cotton wool world and start living a bit, son.

A pitiful assault on 2 harmless posters, a pathetic attempt at humour, from 2 of the 3 resident stooges.

I would keep to your usual patter.

"Let's get the sausage on the grill."
"Ahoy there, we're breached amidships, we're going down."

[yertiz] 25/2/2019 12:44

Porky Peters....has a ring to it? They were sooooo naff, but of their time I suppose. Lol. (That makes Meanwhile Sheepy Lee....)

[brexitplus] 25/2/2019 12:35

I think it may be Porky. Certainly blind to any opinion but his own.

[yertiz] 25/2/2019 12:32

Dunno - can't see.
