Falklands SUFC over half a million each

Lol
Please post a picture of your wife
Interested
Kids you need to pay me
Used to say we are in a dark place
He didn’t know much about share dealing
He was a miner
Unlike my other grandfather who was a banker
He said we are up Sh”” Street
I have look for ages to find this Street but I’m sure we are in it but some council has renamed it
Got to laugh in these dark shi””y times
Ocean of red
We are down to 33p
Oh well
Darth
Long term holders look
Year by year or decade by decade
And those with fat fingers make lots of mistakes
And
Sometimes post the same thing twice
Lol

Don’t use the rhunes they are always 48-72 hours behind
Only £200 down ish so no worries
Just a little annoyed at my timing
That’s what they say in life
Timing is everything
Well it was if you were a mechanic many years ago
Just a thought
If you owned something MBNA for example
That was so profitable and easy to run
Why would you sell it
I wonder if this will be the next bull in the fragile china shop of Lloyds
We will see
My rhunes were 48 hours out of synch
Oh well never mind
Well I thought I had cancelled my limit order for 36.3p
It was sitting at executing
Get up this morning only to find I could have purchased at 35.6
Oh well it’s only another 20000 shares
Not the end of the world
Will need to buy another 20000@
34p to make up the difference
No
Its the Lloyds Bank platform
Looks like they have competition for who can be the biggest bunch of clowns
Just checked again
Deal not executed despite it saying executing
So 36.3p not met
Typical
What do we think for tomorrow
Will we see further fall tomorrow
I think it’s a technical error on Lloyds Share deal platform
It’s still saying executing and no email confirmation yet
My word is my bond ???
I wonder
Looks like I am buying some at 36.3
Well it say executing
Let’s see
Rhunes and ouija were upside down
Could have should have
But didn’t
Not the end of the world the others that I already hold have risen
Good luck to all who got in at 29p
Pleased for you
Gate boy
No it wasn’t sorry
Hi Falklands
Mine is a buy £8000 at a revised limit of 5% fall in the closing price
Many years a pal of mine visited the Falklands
His job
To make the runway inoperable
he was a pilot in Vulcan bombers
Sorry to ramble on
Funny that
I wasn’t either
But it is Saturday
So reckon it’s allowed
I was trying to say
I have reset my limit order on £8k
It’s only small beans compared to what you invest
I have had the rhunes out
Have prayed to the Madonna with the big boobies
And had a word on the ouija board
With my old mate
He knows these kind of things
So on that basis
I have adjusted my intended but in price
Will let you know on Monday
Still warm and sunny here
The German chemicals giant BASF has emerged as the largest recipient of the Bank of England’s Covid-19 emergency funding scheme despite only employing 834 people in Britain.
The company, which is valued at €50 billion, has borrowed £1 billion from the Bank, equivalent to nearly £1.2 million for each of its UK workers.
The Bank revealed yesterday that 53 large businesses have taken a combined £16.2 billion from the Covid Corporate Financing Facility (CCFF), which was created to tide large companies through the pandemic.
Many of the groups that have seized a lifeline from the Bank are controlled by billionaire families and overseas multinationals, including the digger maker JCB, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and Chanel, the luxury goods giant.
The disclosures have raised questions over why the overseas corporations and wealthy individuals have been given what is effectively state aid. Other critics said the government had missed a rich opportunity to impose strict environmental targets on the airlines and oil companies that have tapped the facility.
Borrowers had to show the Bank that they had a “significant” workforce in the UK and made a “material” contribution to the economy. Users issue commercial paper with a maturity of less than a year to the Bank of England, which deposits newly created cash in their accounts. The interest rate paid on the paper, the maturity of which can range from one week to a maximum of one year, is about 0.5 per cent, ranging from 20 basis points to 60 basis points above the standard overnight index swap rate.
The CCFF is one of a number of lending programmes supported by taxpayers to inject cash into companies and prevent an unemployment crisis. However, critics said that the Bank had been “taken for a ride” by some of the borrowers.
Dame Margaret Hodge, the Labour MP and former chairwoman of the public accounts committee, said: “Protecting jobs must be a priority. But this data leaves huge question marks over whether the CCFF has been a smart use of public finance.”
Dame Margaret, 75, questioned the “vast bailouts for foreign chemical giants fossil fuel firms and defence companies” and said that the government had “missed a trick” by not demanding stakes in companies that tap support schemes or force them to reduce the carbon emissions by imposing strict targets.
JCB has tapped the scheme for £600 million. The company is controlled by the Tory peer Lord Bamford, 74, who has a personal fortune of £4.7 billion, according to the Sunday Times Rich list. In 2018 the company paid the Bamford clan a dividend of £75 million after posting record profits.
CNH Industrial, the agricultural equipment and truck maker, and Chanel, the perfume maker, have also borrowed £600 million and are controlled by billionaires. Italy’s billionaire Agnelli family is behind CNH while brothers Alain and Gerard Wertheimer control Chanel. Bayer, the German drug company, has borrowed £600 million and only has 774 employees in the UK acco
