You're misquoting me. I said that OPTI management would have to have no intention of selling a non-current asset within 12 months. That's the definition of an NCA.Plenty of time for an SBTX RNS today. But maybe the MM knows something as the prices I'm being quoted are higher than at yesterday's close and I can sell double the number that I can buy.

I see you point re Restore. The problem is that Restore is offering (in theory) what Reform won't. Farage has gone from being an outlier to full on establishment. He has appointed some terrible people to Reform such as Zahawi and some of the people that stood for Reform at the council elections are exactly the sort of people we don't need in the UK. The majority of people here want all illegal migrants deported as well as foreign criminals, Restore will, Reform won't and there is a whole lot more that Reform should do but won't.With respect your comment re an alliance with the Tories defeats the whole purpose of why Farage (supposedly) set up Reform and that was to finish the Tories who have proved to be almost as left wing and destructive as Labour, any alliance there would just be an extension of the uni-party and for any Reform supporter to want this alliance is crazy. Remember that Restore only started because Farage has messed up hugely and also tried to get Rupert Lowe jailed over false allegations. Farage has repeatedly stated that he does not want to become PM and I predict him standing down, he has said he he happy to, letting in Zia Yusuf, who I quite like, but will finish the party.

you said since not a NCA Opti would not sell shares. I explained why you wrere talking bollocks not only here but on BBS. Opti can and will sellBTW you were telling us the trading statement would be today (mid month). have i missed it?

Yes, this is the UK today clearly. What a great quote!

I don't do porkies. I gave the correct definition of non-current assets.https://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/noncurrent-assets.asp

Kefi will comment. Had been widely flagged as coming - first reported as on the cards in Augist. 4 of groups nobody has heard of then it your Oromo pals and TigrayPF. They still face africa's largest army. IU will post later but its not changing my view.As for SBTX you told a balance sheet porky, I corrected it. You think I should not? And as for the update promised mid Sept... still not here

With respect, Sunday's televised announcement that seven Ethiopian armed militia units have amalgamated in order to bring down the government, thus surely signalling that KEFI is a dead duck for the foreseeable future, was probably more worthy of a late night "hot" bearcast than your speculative/desperate/petulant attempt to undermine an SBTX share price rally.https://addisstandard.com/seven-ethiopian-armed-groups-formally-announce-formation-of-a-coalition/You seem to be obsessed with both companies but chose to ignore or delay the KEFI hard news in favour of rehashing your doom-mongering SBTX conjecture…even though there must now be many more SP subscribers invested in KEFI than in SBTX.I very much hope that your considerable and recently topped-up personal investment in KEFI wasn't the reason that you held fire last night on a major news story which really didn't need any further research.

I struggled through with 7, notwithstanding the wrong answer on universities. BTW, it's RastAfarian, not Rastifarian but I don't think they were around in 1650 anyway.

The failure of governments to stop the boats is just about government will. We are already paying France a fortune. Get the French to allow UK border patrol into French water, let the RNLI into French waters. Pick up the invading criminals, fleeing war torn France?Confiscate all mobiles and personal belongings. Get the boats to circle road in French waters for a bit and drop them back to Calais, they never need to reach UK waters.The UK and France already allow each others border agents to operate on each others land.The criminal invaders who are already here, put them in internment camps. They are already criminals so have no right to be here. They were living in squalid tents in Calais according to every news report. So if we have to house them, then clean tents, have them dig their own latrines , feed them basic rations and keep them behind barbed wire until we deport them. They should have no legal recourse as they are invaders and criminals. Each and everyone of them should be deported.We should reduce net immigration to within 10,000 of zero. Not difficult with so many people leaving the country.No job under 50k should be allowed a visa. All visa applicants should have to pay for themselves and partner and be entitled to no public funds before 5 years and then it should be on a sliding scale.There are 9.1 million people of working age not working and and near 2 million looking for work. There are 702,000 job vacancies,so there are over 15 people available for every job.At 55 (self financed retirement) I would happily take a local job. However each Christmas I have been retired I have applied for seasonal work (multiple applications) and been unsucessful.I am clearly not required to stack shelfs at Tesco, Sainsburys, Marks or any of the other jobs I have applied for.There are very few jobs that the current UK population can not be trained to do within 6 months. I am very glad I worked hard and saved hard before redundancy found me.

7 +1 = 8, thanks for the quiz!
