That's more like it CS - I voted you up for that comment whereas I normally vote you down. I only like unfettered enthusiasm lol. Oh and all those 25k plus trades look like buys to me as they're from an hour earlier when the share price was 120-121

[ellissj] 04/12/2018 12:09

Oh dear, stylish but sound not so hot. Another candidate for trialling +nanene inside ? Hoping here imo. Best ellis

"Microsoft Surface Headphones review: superb, but not stylish"

"Microsoft's Surface headphones are a fine entrance to the market with superb noise cancelling, wireless performance and adept midrange. If the company sorts a few small niggles, these could be class-leading"

"Once under way, there’s a pragmatism to the way the Surface Headphones sound that’s understandable, sensible and just a tiny bit disappointing."

Zagro - think you've got that the wrong way around: we're world #1, Apple are just some consumer electronics company. WE name THEM when they deal is signed, or no deal ;-)

[rafboy] 04/12/2018 12:07

I think if NR is in the US to sign something it will have all been agreed before he left the U.K.

I'd love it if it were Apple Neill was visiting, but I'd love it even more if Apple said give us exclusivity or we don't announce who we deal with and Neill stuck 2 fingers up at them. Companies knock on Versarien's door, they need quality graphene. If they get sniffy, they get left behind. Can Apple not afford to roll out the red carpet for Neill?

are those 25k, 35k and 50k sells I see? Wow, the shorts are going all-out to keep this down.

Not sure what they think they're going to achieve - if a fraction of the news we're due comes through (and especially if an actual, honest-to-God significant order arrives) they're toast, and they must know it...

[chimpandy1] 04/12/2018 12:03

Some nice late reported buys have come through and I would assume from the same person given the times. 2 at 24k and 2 at 32k

[rafboy] 04/12/2018 12:02

Mike, would love you to be right. I think whatever it is will be announced on Thursday morning just like the Spain trip just before the AGM. Obviously, the fruit company would not allow their name to be mentioned but even if it is not them I think we are in for a decent RNS and uplift on Thursday. Just my personal view.

Get those grappling irons over the 130p Wall.

The government has announced details of its ban on combustible materials and handed local authorities the power to strip deadly cladding from high rise buildings

Housing secretary James Brokenshire announced today (29 November) that under new legislation, combustible materials will not be permitted in the external walls of new buildings over 18m tall and containing housing.

The Ministry of Housing confirmed the ban would also apply to new hospitals, residential care premises, dormitories in boarding schools and student accommodation over 18m tall. The new regulations will limit the use of materials in the external walls to products achieving a European fire-resistance classification of Class A1 or A2.

The ban, which only applies to new buildings, will come into effect on 21 December.

The government has also gone some way to clearing up confusion over which parts of the buildings the ban will apply to, and in particular, what it means by ‘external wall’.

The government has announced details of its ban on combustible materials and handed local authorities the power to strip deadly cladding from high rise buildings

Housing secretary James Brokenshire announced today (29 November) that under new legislation, combustible materials will not be permitted in the external walls of new buildings over 18m tall and containing housing.

The Ministry of Housing confirmed the ban would also apply to new hospitals, residential care premises, dormitories in boarding schools and student accommodation over 18m tall. The new regulations will limit the use of materials in the external walls to products achieving a European fire-resistance classification of Class A1 or A2.

The ban, which only applies to new buildings, will come into effect on 21 December.

The government has also gone some way to clearing up confusion over which parts of the buildings the ban will apply to, and in particular, what it means by ‘external wall’.

In the amended legislation, external wall is defined as anything ‘located within any space forming part of the wall’ and any decoration or finishes applied to external surfaces.

It also comprises windows or doors, roofs pitched at an angle of more than 70 degrees as well as balconies, devices for deflecting sunlight and solar panels.

The AJ understands this definition is likely to have implications for timber-frame high-rises and architects and developers using the cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction method.

The government’s impact assessment of the policy points out it ’prohibits the use of timber materials in the external wall of buildings within the scope’.

The document adds: ‘It [the ban] is therefore likely to slow down the use of engineered timber in future development in the medium to long term.’

Brokenshire also announced that local authorities would get the full backing of the government, including financial support, to remove combustible cladding from privately owned high-rise blocks.

The ban comes after months of warnings issued to building owners not to pass on costs of removing unsafe cladding to leaseholders.

The government is already fully funding the replacement of unsafe ACM cladding on publicly owned blocks above 18m.

Brokenshire said: ‘Everyone has a right to feel safe in their homes and I have repeatedly made clear that building owners and developers must replace dangerous ACM cladding. And the costs must not be passed on to leaseholders.

’My message is clear: private building owners must pay for this work now or they should expect to pay more later.’

Speakers you say ? Looks like somebody else could do with +nanene inside ! Imo. Best ellis

Good man Melf, you know it makes sense :)

[melf] 04/12/2018 11:19

Just bought 25k at 124.7 for my sister-in-law.......keep it in the family:-)

[tini5] 04/12/2018 11:16

I think the shorts will be run over before they get cremated.

[ny boy] 04/12/2018 11:14

Polygrene Santa rally to 180p, certainly will be a big move if we can finally break 130p, which has been stubborn resistance but could go any day now, once the momentum players move in.

[club sandwich] 04/12/2018 11:13

mike - like your thinking. a deal with Apple - even if the name wasn't mentioned, but they were identifiable - would cremate the shorts once and for all. Can't happen soon enough for me...

[mikebrenner] 04/12/2018 11:13

... and again just to reiterate to new users please can you block loglorry and club sandwich as most share holders have already and if not refrain from clogging up the board with replies to their posts as a) it fills up the board with dross b) they won't be influenced by common sense c) by amplifying their noise you are helping them

[davemac3] 04/12/2018 11:10

It would be even nicer to sell them

[bootie64] 04/12/2018 11:09

Good call Baz

[jointer13] 04/12/2018 11:08

Nanene... Hexotene... GraphInks... Polygrene.

what next..?

nice to have branded materials.

[davemac3] 04/12/2018 11:05

It may be that Nanene isn’t selling as it is too complex etc hence Polygrene

[club sandwich] 04/12/2018 11:04

bill - I get all of that: but *not one* significant order AT ALL this year (so far)?

And of course we still have no idea about the machine situation, of how VRS will actually service the orders when they do arrive (tho I think it's the other way around - orders won't arrive until the client can be sure the order can be serviced)...

[potsol] 04/12/2018 11:03

I'm not aware of a height restriction on asking questions davemac.
