Call it a crowdfunder if you wish. Either I wait up to a year to be even seen by the NHS for a most discomforting condition of the sort a gentleman does not write about or I go private. Natch it has just to be the latter as life right now is not fun. So, given my diagnosis is, so far, not terminal let’s do it again. Besides which, everyone who came along this year said how much fun they had.so why not?
The Irishmen were Brian Kinane and Barry Downs on AI and also Mindflair. The Englishman was Matt Earl with 2 French shorts to wrap up the day. Then, over a supper of salmon, potatoes, salad and home made ice cream cam the choir. Norman was born into a welsh speaking household on the same day as my dad, April fifth 1938.
I did grill Harry Adams of Kefi (KEFI) and I gave him a hard time, even calling in the audience on the matter of the greedy bastard COO and hi bonus. Afterwards Harry recovered chatting to Brian Kinane and the man with the glasses, Jerry Keen who also got a good duffing up in my presentation over his role in the disgraceful RTO of Georgina Energy GEX).Back on stage Boatman capital was really interesting with his big new idea....
Chef Vijay excelled himself and folks tucked in greedily. That included cat Sian, a fan of Indian food, and my family seen chatting to Malcolm Stacey who paid us a visit.
Those who think I give CEOs at Sharestock an easy time have never been. The first CEO to be grilled was from Mast Energy (MAST) and he certainly needed to be on top of his numbers. Here he is recovering afterwards and chatting to a shareholder. Then it was Jim Mellon who was, as ever, brilliant and fascinating.
The T shirt was meant to be to annoy Euroloon Jonathan Price but he was absent. However Ed from Islington was a good stand in as someone to annoy. Everyone commented on my weight loss but I am afraid I felt unwell virtually all day. Tea of croissants with home made jam went down well, Joshua had early customers for his croquet contest and the first talk was by Lucian Miers.
