Yertiz, absolutely! I went a bit mad a few weeks ago and bought another £30k of them (Plus500 not Plus400, who are they??) So got a decent holding in them now but already well above water. If you want a laugh, check out the Lloyds board where Minerve has well and truly been taken to the cleaners!!

Prepared sardines for the BBQ tonight, each reminded me of Minerve, Meanwhile and Barnier- spineless, gutless and two-faced. But they didn’t taste half bad!
One extremely hot day in Saintes, over 44 degrees. Thank goodness for air con in the tent, ha ha!

NMC and Plus 400 both carrying on with their impressive rises, still happy GRS?

Losos

Keep Casey and Lara cool. Lucky you don’t live in Portugal.

I have a broom cupboard for sale here in rural Gloucestershire. Beautiful spot. So much so we have had filming here all week for a ‘blockbuster.’

Yours for only £75k.

Chimp cage only £10. No longer required.

From now on I'd like to be known as 'Ryelodge Juice'. Does anyone want a photo of my wallet? It is bulging with money I made from the discounted rights issue from the Nortek purchase. You know the one where we were able to buy shares at a discounted price that meant, in effect, we were getting free money (I've never really understood RIs so I've not really considered that it can't be free money, after all where would it come from??). So now I've got a huge £250k portfolio that is almost enough to buy a broom cupboard in Beaconsfield. I'm so wealthy, morons! Off to Bill's now to take some Libyan refugees for a breakfast 'treat'. You chimps can stay in your cage!

Come on now, 'get along'. We're all sensible and tolerant people here.

Ryelodge, great to see you've obviously unfiltered both me and B+, despite claiming you can't see our posts. And thanks for the persistence compliment - a quality we clearly share - you display it all the time with your 'can't we all get along', the googled lyrics, the wallet stuff blah blah. Now can we have one of your hilarious 'calculations' please? And then tell us about your huge £250k portfolio?

[meanwhile] 03/8/2018 22:52

gettingdown,
your persistence has to be acknowledged. When you get an idea in your head, however bonkers it is, you just won't let go.
You have all the qualities that a domestic ferret is valued for.

[gettingrichslow] 03/8/2018 21:36

Ryelodge, have you got an opinion on this latest debate? Or Beetle Juice?

Loughborough University has been outstandingly successful in receiving a total of seven prestigious Queen’s Anniversary Prizes. SECOND ONLY TO OXFORD UNIVERSITY


The Queen’s Anniversary Prizes for Higher and Further Education are awarded biennially, in recognition of UK universities' and colleges' world-class excellence in areas of service and benefit to the nation.

The Prize scheme is within the UK’s national honours system, and as such they are one of the most prestigious forms of national recognition open to a UK academic or vocational institution.

The honour is distinctive in recognising the institution rather than an individual or team.

Queen’s Anniversary Prizes

In recognition of the University's impact through research and skills development in High Value Manufacturing to create economic growth (2013)

Awarded in recognition of the University’s vehicle, road and driver safety research (2007)

For outstanding and widely-respected work in evaluating and helping develop social policy-related programmes (2005)

In recognition of the University’s position as the country’s premier institution for sports development and its world leading role in sports research and education (2002)

For pioneering research in optical engineering (2000)

Awarded in recognition of work in developing countries (1998)

For collaboration with aerospace and automotive companies, particularly Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems (1994)

NOT BAD

Well found, brexitplus. It takes somebody with a 3rd from Loughborough to dig that information out.

Really only a glorified technical college.

“University of Glamorgan was founded in 1913 as the South Wales and Monmouthshire School of Mines, a School of Mines based in Trefforest, Pontypridd, serving the large coal mining industry in the South Wales Valleys.

The school was owned and funded by the major Welsh coal owners, through a levy of one tenth of a penny on each ton of coal produced by the companies involved.[3] At the outset, the school had 17 mining diploma students, including three from China.[5]

The school was taken over by Glamorgan County Council during the Depression,[3] and became Glamorgan Technical College in 1949, reflecting its expanding portfolio, and the Glamorgan College of Technology in 1958.[5] By this time, the institution had expanded to offer a range of full-time, sandwich and part-time courses in science, technology and commerce, to which it added the first ever "Welsh for Adults" course in 1967.[3]

In 1970, the college became a polytechnic.[5] Glamorgan Polytechnic merged with the Glamorgan College of Education in Barry and was re-designated as the Polytechnic of Wales in 1975, before being awarded university status as the University of Glamorgan in 1992.[3]

[minerve] 03/8/2018 20:53

What part of "Polytechnic of Wales" don't you understand? LOL

[meanwhile] 03/8/2018 20:46

Quite right. And even fewer of us here came out with a good degree, fewer still with a 'First' and even fewer still went on to get another degree.

This is the ultimate measure of high intellect.

[minerve] 03/8/2018 20:46

I didn't go to any university you numpty! LOL

[brexitplus] 03/8/2018 20:36

Quite right. Only a few of us HERE have been to a REAL university.

"The British people have not been properly educated in the European project..."

Correct!

Perhaps we could shorten it to: The British people have not been properly educated.

[gettingrichslow] 03/8/2018 17:21

Barnier: "The British people have not been properly educated in the European project..."
Unbelievably arrogant.
