ehhhhhhhh. What you on about? cyners.

prob a bit pissed after a very good (and good value!) dinner at trattoria rivetta in venice at a restaurant i hadn't been to for 30+ years :-)

Ohhhh right no probs.

Must say Im ok with whats happening at TCG........no probs at all.

Actually, I don't think as a shareholder I should have to post on twitter specifically to ask for clarification from the CEO of this company as to what my various options are. The Prospectus should be worded in simple terms so that shareholders are completely clear about what is going on.

so tell me sticky, what exactly is the score - or don't you know either?

E mail her then, or better still ring her or the FD up.

I do and If I get stalled I go to the AGM or nearest meeting and cause as much unrest as poss.

Dont forget they have a department for share holders.

Use your rights.

Cynic yes I do know the score but Im in this for the capital gain only.

And capital gain will be what I make when Im finished.

that was not my question .... as i know bugger all, but seemingly you do know the score, i would be grateful for your enlightenment

I will enlighten you.........get a membership to Twitter. (free)

You were being smart earlier on with your chum Hays.

Ask Harriet direct...........I did.

Goodnight.

arsehole :-) ....so clearly you also have no clue at all, as otherwise you would post as requested

No Im just smart and smirking. he he.

no, you're just being an areshole
i was out at 167as posted, so it is me who might smirk, though i would not
so i'll repeat, you're just being an arsehole, and by your reticence, indicating strongly that actually you know bugger all

Not sure if you are still pissed cynic - the year high is 166.70 so well done on your 167!

"no, you're just being an areshole
i was out at 167as posted, so it is me who might smirk, though i would not
so i'll repeat, you're just being an arsehole, and by your reticence, indicating strongly that actually you know bugger all"

GF - Nice but simple Chris here, this may come as a shock but I really don't give a toss how old you are. You volunteered your age, or ages on a public bulletin board not me, just seeking clarification that's all. Not my fault you have no sense of humour. Sad, just about covers it that you have to justify your reasons for let's face it posting shite. 6' 2" eyes of blue and thick as a plank :O)

167 lol

.

i lied .... out at 164.7 per post 957
