We received in the post a sales catalogue wrapped in a plastic film - as we all do.

This one was described as "The clear outer wrapper is made from biodegradable materials using renewable resources and is fully compostable".

It looks and feels exactly the same as a sample I have described as Bioplast GF 106 15micron (according to Stanelco's label on it).

Looking through the Prospectus it seems that Bioplast is a BioTec product.

BioTec does seem to be turning into the Treasure Chest as Ian Balchin described it at last years EGM. Pity we only have 50% of it.

I'm sure there's also a joke about 'Fairy Rings' in there somewhere, but I'm not going to risk a letter from Alans lawyer!

You're quite safe, Oblo.
I'm not convinced my lawyer can actually read or write, and even if he could, I cannot afford him.
Alan

You are a wise man Oblo!

The Prospectus is the best thing since sliced bread. I have pointed out to my wife the biodegradable wallpaper mentioned in the list of patents and have convinced her that is is a waste of time wallpapering as it will all be gone in 3 months....result!

I have the reverse of that as a problem, Kim.
The missus once read that paper rots away very quickly so she makes sure she very quickly gets rid of any she finds in my wallet.
BTW. What was the best thing before sliced bread??
Alan

No point in me having a wallet Alan, my cash goes straight from hand to hand. I know I will regret this but.....what is the best thing since sliced bread (other than unsliced)?
kim

It says alot about the british phsyci that we use that saying.
Surely there are one or two things better than sliced bread.
You know, penicillin, electricity, anaesthetics, an end to Hitler.
But no, we have to choose an invention that saves us getting a knife out and cutting something.

Ah but, since we didn't have to spend time slicing bread, we had more time to spend on discovering penicillin (from mouldy bread or something), electricity (to toast the sliced bread), aneasthetics (to put the patient out in order to operate after choking on said toast), and feeding Churchill on bread whilst he thought of a demise for Hitler........so you see, sliced bread IS the best invention!
kim

A good point, well made.

Stop ramping hovis you lot!!

I feel a Wednesday evening SEO summary post coming on................

Can't wait Alan!
Gibell, I haven't touched Hovis since I saw me poor ol' grandad struggling up that hill with his bike. I could just envisage his nose dripping into the bag.................

Think the sp drop, is down to the usual day traders, nothing more.
This will bobble around the currant sp till further news.

if Calyon are buying for SPhere and do try to buy SEO out, they are a non listed company and we will miss out on the full potential of SEO, because they will only buy for cash not shares.
I would vote against any sale to them.
What do you all think?

Jim, I feel that if SPhere are involved, they will possibly be looking for a lever with which to make an influential vote at EGM's, AGM's rather than stage a takeover.

Credit Agricole Cheuvreux International Limited buys for LONG term investment/cover .
Please DYOR.
:-)
Almost as relaxed as Tony.
Almost..........

I would certainly vote against a takeover, especially IF the long promised contracts start to come through.

I get the feeling that Calyon hasn't finished buying yet.

As much as many here (including myself on present information) would resist a T/o I doubt if we have any influence. It will depend on AgeoR, although diluted, and whoever bought up the 1,375,000,000 shares within the Firm placing alread paid for.

What if one Institution took the lot, 46% of the new total - Calyon? - they would not have to declare it until after the shares are Issued (EGM).

It would be interesting to know who bought the Firm Placing - and AoR's intentions but we would not get to know these for the timebeing.

I wouldn't support a takeover either but we do need a new Board of Directors for this company.

that's for sure.............
