    Maybe they have been promised investment in the future providing they do a, b,c, and don’t do x,y,z.

    I had to turn over to check, its deffo stable on the sanity scale.

    It's when it's full on grey and white you have to worry

    No where in the statement does it say the Americans are the potential investors, it is so carefully worded as to make me believe they are probably talking to someone else but don’t want to admit it.

    I've never said this before but I think this one is too much for me ... Wow!!!

    We've been going through the client's PA, then the company solicitor but finally found out who the client is.

    We nearly fell through the floor.

    We've been asked to go to the Surrey mansion to meet the staff, etc but it's at a higher level even than the Olygarch and Sheikh we worked for. Mrs Smug is sitting here shaking her head and laughing ... we've just walked in shattered but I'll try to post a few clues in the morning.

    There would definitely be no holidays, not even visitors ...

    ... the security is outrageous, there's a drone that tours a set of fixed points every hour.

    FFS man, its all mental.

    It is open to interpretation that way mate. I suppose it depends on whether you believe what SD said on Tuesday, about no one backing out.

    That's the bit that worries me
    Happy if they are still discussing future investment with the MSD chaps but a. Bit worried if they are looking for other investors

    You think he has more money than an Olygarch and Abu Dhabi Royal Family?

    Tbh, it's a fair point. That statement re the takeover has nothing in it that couldn't have been said before now. That statement could easily have been made 2 weeks or more ago so why say there'll be an update when the update itself is no different to anything that they could/have said previously?

    As I said earlier, I'm absolutely exhausted.

    Sorry if I didn't spot how funny your 'joke' was.

    To be fair, looking back it was hilarious tbf.

    Stewart Donald, the prophet, should have known that there would be no conclusion in 2 weeks time. :emoticon-0138-think

    The prophet is at a loss for a suitable answer.
