Uriah Heep was oleaginous.

[shavian] 16/8/2018 07:49

Oleaginous also means oily, slimey, obsequious. Seems to fit.

Positive update from £VLG this morning.

Which I sold yesterday to buy more £VRS at 3.5% higher than it closed yesterday.

FFS Arden, do the work you're paid for and find a buyer for Mr 120p.

I remember what happened to £SEE, stick at 2p for months with an overhang then when the broker actually did some brokering and swapsied it... whoosh, gangbusters banana rockets.

Thanks for the good luck messages yesterday guys, I thought both interviews went well but this morning realised that in the first one, I never actually came back to the spelling questions I left to come back to in the test... :-(

runthejoules - Trust the interviews went okay.

[luckyorange] 16/8/2018 07:44

Thanks ax, I was struggling with that one 😊 cuts it better than disingenuous .

Interesting article, Teepee, though over 2 years old.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jul/25/manchester-warns-funding-for-wonder-material-graphene-at-risk-after-brexitThis is why we got government support at this level

Oleaginous = extremely polite, kind, or helpful in a false way that is intended to bring some advantage to yourself

[luckyorange] 16/8/2018 07:31

That would be why the 2D tech sign went up then! Got to be a promotional video.

Just a thought on the photo shoot....

I wonder if it was for the annual report... you know - benevolent CEO beaming at investors on the front page, maybe holding a flask of the wonder material.

[luckyorange] 16/8/2018 07:19

oleaginous...... what the hell !!???

[axotyl] 16/8/2018 07:09

In reply to B'Stard's oleaginous request for lessons in "Twitter style and grace" for his shareholders at the next AGM.

[anotherdrink] 16/8/2018 06:53

NR on Twitter (8h8 hours ago):'I think we'll have much better things to discuss'- relating to the AGM. NR, you little tease.........

Due to sheffield uni close connections wirh Manchester uni,I thought this article
Might be of intrest.

lovat - yes I made a tidy sum with Durlacher without even knowing much about it. I didn't need to as the word "internet" was associated with it so it was bound to go up like all the other make believe companies of that time. It was great while it lasted. I think Graphene will get that dotcom hype but it'll be vrs that will be top of the pile as it's the real thing.

[bootie64] 15/8/2018 23:20

Nothing much really added in print but it is spreading the word on our second DIT secondee...

Zagro - VRS is much higher quality than Durlacher but will take longer to reach the fringes of the FTSE100:)

The dotcom boom had many examples of overvalued rubbish but Durlacher took the prize for hype over substance.

There is a true story of a Durlacher employee who divorced and borrowed money to pay out his wife with a loan secured against his substantial Durlacher shareholding. When the emperor’s clothes dotcom bust moment arrived all the toys and the large house went and he was living above a chip shop.

The moral of the story is I’d rather be a VRS tortoise progressing steadily (with nanene enhanced batteries!)than a Durlacher hare!!

Glad to see everyone in an upbeat mood today, been trying to catch comments between a 15 hour day at work, dont think ive anything to add that hasn't already been said so goodnight all, looking forward to the next RNS :)

[a_game] 15/8/2018 22:52

Would also like to add my thanks to SuperG - after spending an hour with him & Neill in March last year, I was sold!

[fhasson] 15/8/2018 22:38

On a physical side also important to get regular health checks and ensure all risk factors for cardiovascular disease amongst others are at a minimum. Diet, exercise and ability to unwind,as basic as it seems is often overlooked in high profiled CEOs.Neil you should have been in bed half an hour ago , now step to it!

[sandbag] 15/8/2018 22:12

When building a company the founder must work long hours and forfeit many things. I sincerely hope that as much as I appreciate NR's dedication he finds time for his family. It's all a matter of balance and I trust he will achieve this.

[festario] 15/8/2018 22:04

You're getting the idea..ALL HAIL SUPERG!

[sandbag] 15/8/2018 22:01

from luckyorange's post:

"if it comes to the point that I need money then I will have to cash some in"

I posted back in January that I would start drip selling in the next financial year (2018-9) to supplement my pension. In the event I have managed to buy more and now have 58,607 more shares than I had at that time. I needed to raise some cash today and after that (to me) totally amazing RNS today I sold shares in another investment to raise that cash. There will come a time soon when I need to sell some shares but the longer I can put it off the better. I really feel blessed that I've been lucky enough to be invested here. My kids and grandkids will really benefit.
Thanks for the zillionth time to superg1.

Would have thought China deal would happen sometime between government return from recess in Sep and before first China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Nov
