Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The daily bugle have done quite a good job for once.

Aeon: 3,996%
BitBay: 2,983%
Burstcoin: 3,700%
Viacoin: 4,837%
Monero: 3,015%
PivX: 23,525%
NeosCoin: 8,136%

Ever heard of these things? They are all called 'cryptocurrencies'

The above are the growth rates from May 17 2016 – May 17 2017

£500 invested in each of the biggest 5 cryptocurrences would have returned a profit of £21,000 before tax.

Here's a few more of them:

Since January 2017:-

Golem: 728%
Neoscoin: 3298%
PivX: 23,525%
Dash: 1056%
MaidSafeCoin: 17%
SysCoin: 741%
SIBcoin: 641%

ShadowCash: 231%
StorJcoin: 870%
Potcoin: 9921%
NAV Coin: 5535%
Synero: 379%
StellarLumens: 2411%

They seem to be massively volatile and there appears to be a 'Mania' going on with them! These are 'digital currencies' and they aren't going to stop. Here's a web site which follows their Market Caps and Charts:

The 'Tipsters' are shoving them at the punters (and probably making a mint in doing it).

Obviously some are going to 'drop dead' and some are going to go on well into the
future.

Here are the 24 hour 'Gainers':

Q. Anybody on here know anything about them or got any 'Cryptos' in their portfolio?

Anyone on here know a young lady who might want a £50k per year job?

Don't you just love the good old USA?

This new bill adds a laundry list of offenses for which they can legally seize your assets… all of which pertain to money laundering and other financial crimes.

And, because of the current extradition set-up between the UK and the USA, it's probably pertinent to non-US citizens visiting the USA on vacation.

From your link above, I just love the one:

Here’s the thing, though: they’ve also vastly expanded on the definition of such ‘financial crimes’, including failure to fill out a form if you happen to be transporting more than $10,000 worth of ‘monetary instruments’.

Civil Asset Forfeiture rules allow the government to take whatever they want from you, without a trial or any due process.

I always remember coming home from the USA one time when we used 'Kerb-Side Check In' at the airport. The 'Valet-style' bloke who took our luggage and tickets didn't ask us for our Immigration Cards and we didn't think to hand them into him. Accordingly we returned to the UK with them still in our possession.

Of course, not having ever checked out of the USA from a 'paperwork viewpoint', technically we were still in the USA, and undoubtedly also technically exceeding the 'allowed stay period of 6 months'.

Anyhow, we duly sent them on to the airline concerned for them to process the cards but we didn't ever get any confirmation it had been done. They just might have been 'binned' for all we know.

There is no legal requirement for the airline to collect these cards and if you happen to be, say asleep in the middle of the night when they come down the plane asking for them, then you would not be able to hand them in.

Having already had a taste of 'USA bureaucracy', I don't much want to experience it again. Even the last cruise ship I went on which was calling in at a USA port, was kept waiting 9 fucking hours at the quay-side, processing all of the passengers paperwork. It was a SAGA cruise ship. They rarely go to the USA these days, if at all. They can't stand them either!

I do but your link doesn't work!

What defines a ‘monetary instrument’?


Would a credit card fit the bill?

It works for me. But here's the URL address for you, just in case:

Thanks E/L, Still won't work though how very odd, will have another go later.

Do a Google for it using

'This family wanted to hire a nanny for £50,000 a year' as the Search

Clever lady:

Natasha Elcock saved her family as they were trapped in the Grenfell Tower inferno - by running a bath and flooding her entire flat.

She was trapped along with her boyfriend and her six-year-old daughter in their 11th floor home when the blaze ripped through the building.



Firefighters eventually reached the stricken family at 3am and led them to safety.

Brilliant or wot?

Brilliant!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Thank God

Sincere well wishes for their future and that of those surviving this disaster that should never have been!

No problem with the link on the iPad E/L, obviously the kids are not what they seem...probably got drug habits or something equally problematic )-;

excel Doreen tipton yes it does work its bril best video I have ever seen

I hope cynic watches it ,

NHS cyber attack came from North Korea then .

Grenfell Tower
i confess i cannot bear to watch the news any more
my wife had to drive past today and she tells me it is absolutely horrific


there's a lot of fingers being pointed at the moment, but from the little i have read, RBK&C look to be firmly in the frame
RBK&C needed or demanded that the cost was kept within budget
RBK&C would have passed off the highly detailed proposal from the (various) contractors
RBK&C, while perhaps not being the site manager (not sure about that), would still have had to pass off the work at various stages


meanwhile, the snippet below is revealing ....

In 2013 the government wrote to every local authority to encourage them to retrofit sprinkler systems in older tower blocks. It did so at the request of a coroner who leads an inquest into a fire in Camberwell in which six people died.

Before passing judgement on whether the Kensington and Chelsea Tenant Management therefore acted irresponsibly, bear in mind that, according to the British Automatic Fire Sprinkler Association, only 100 older tower blocks in Britain have been retrofitted with sprinklers since 2013. Around 4,000 have not.
The vast majority of councils would appear to have been put off by the cost.

A snippet heard in passing was that a sprinkler system for that block would have cost approx £200k, which if true sounds like money well spent, a small fraction of the total refurb cost (£10m)

CYA will now be the order of the day...and I wonder what level of bungs was involved?
