Dear All

Am off to Hampshire for a few days to spend time with two of our fabulous nephews, plus their mum and dad!!!

Don’t expect to post much as will be having a fun run-up to Christmas. Lots of eating and drinking.

I’m sure getting will make up the the shortfall!!!

Looks like the Fed isn't going to relent.
At what stage will we know they have gone too far? When there's a recession?

Might have a small amount tomorrow, however agree 2019 may be bloody.
There is a lot of negatively around atm on markets, that can
sometimes be a bullish indicator.

GKN Aerospace partners with CFMS to advance aircraft manufacturing technologies
Posted 19 December 2018

The Bristol-based Centre for Modelling & Simulation (CFMS) – an independent, not-for-profit specialist in digital engineering capability – has today announced a new partnership with GKN Aerospace to support the advancement of aircraft manufacturing technologies.

The collaboration between the two parties will help establish CFMS as a strategic research partner to GKN Aerospace, focusing specifically on the modelling and simulation of design, engineering and manufacturing processes in the newly-announced Global Technology Centre (GTC) in Bristol.

As part of its role in the GTC, it is expected that CFMS will also support the development of digital twins – digital replicas of physical products, processes or services to help reduce time inefficiencies and the high costs associated with traditional physical prototypes. The simulation data from these digital twins can then be used to inform key product and process decisions in the GTC.

Ian Risk, Chief Technology Officer at CFMS, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with such a renowned global aerospace company to help co-develop new technologies that will advance aircraft manufacturing and the aviation industry as a whole. Our Memorandum of Understanding with GKN Aerospace delivers on our strategy to form meaningful alliances with industry that will explore new ways of working and bolster our vision to transform design, engineering and manufacturing through advanced digital services.”

Paul Perera, Vice President of Technology, at GKN Aerospace, commented: “CFMS has significant experience and a proven track record in modelling and simulation for the aerospace industry, so we are looking forward to collaborating with the team at the new GTC to help produce the next generation of fuel-efficient aircraft. By bringing together our resources, alongside a number of other academic and industry partners, we hope to continue broadening the UK’s already significant engineering expertise.”

CFMS provides a trusted, neutral digital test-bed that enables high value manufacturing organisations like GKN Aerospace to develop their own digital engineering capabilities. The company also enables the adoption and acceleration of new technologies for modelling and simulation that support industrial digitalisation.

The new £32 million centre – which will act as a hub for world class innovative technology for the next generation of fuel-efficient aircraft – is expected to open in 2020 and will include collaborative space for research and development with universities, the UK’s CATAPULT network and GKN Aerospace’s UK supply chain. The GTC will focus on additive manufacturing (AM), advanced composites, assembly and industry 4.0 processes to enable the high rate production of aircraft structures.

I think his Mum has taken his iPhone away and told him to go to his room - he was well and truly rinsed this morning ho ho ho! BUR up 17%! Happy days.

Hi Chaps

Just back from an excellent day in Cheltenham Christmas shopping with family. Great lunch and shopping nearly done.

Have we had the “when” on the Burford board that Zimmer was going to give us. I’m still here holding lots of funds waiting for his signal!!!!

[gettingrichslow] 19/12/2018 10:53

The BUR board is too crowded out with people taking the p!&s out of you, Minny! They're literally queuing up!

[minerve] 19/12/2018 10:23

How come you are not posting those comments on the Burford board chimps. Are you embarrassed to?

ROFLMAO!

Idiots. LOL

[gettingrichslow] 19/12/2018 10:20

Uh oh...his Mum has just woken him up! Check out the back-pedalling on the BUR board!! Brilliant.

[brexitplus] 19/12/2018 09:57

He really shouldn’t drink so much at his age. Mummy should have a word. Poor parenting I think.

[gettingrichslow] 19/12/2018 09:54

His mum doesn't wake him up until 10am normally. He's going to be so upset at the sledging he's taking over on BUR! What a day so far! I'm going to have to change my name if this carries on today!

[brexitplus] 19/12/2018 09:46

Getting, any idea where the master investor is? I’m still waiting to be told “when” over at Burford.

[gettingrichslow] 19/12/2018 09:23

I'm going to be 80% in Burford if the price keeps going up like this!

[sogoesit] 19/12/2018 09:05

Surely historians will be more inventive than that?
;-)

[azure8269] 19/12/2018 08:55

question to historian:- How, in 100 years,will history record Brexit

Answer: In one line. "The UK changed its trading relationship with Europe"

[brexitplus] 19/12/2018 08:37

Azure, I’m 80% cash as well.

[azure8269] 19/12/2018 08:33

Hurray Finally a post about this company - I wondered why this hasn't declined as much as other dogs of 100. Currently my only holding as 82% in cash. 1st time in 10 years

As Gunlaich - the bond trader (or whatever his name was) said on Bloomberg the key to 2019 is preservation of capital, and good luck with that!

His balls aren't that heavy. His wife is much disappointed. But the dog, getting, will be a sufficient surrogate. Brexit has been known to orgasm on a lengthy bender of anthropomorphism! LOL
