    This doesn't even warrant a thread. Another non-organisation with a finger in the air prediction based on flawed logic. Nothing to see here.


    Just as I suspected.

    Nope, just that you are playing your usual 'build a strawman argument' games and attributing statements to people that they didn't make.

    Just like you done here quoting me. Where on earth did I say that I believed 'things are going to turn around just like that'?

    Interesting how you so dislike it when other people do this to you even though you're the master of it? :rotfl:

    The OP referred to Q3 and Q4.

    Today's release was for Q2!

    Pretty silly.

    Almost as silly as the 7 twits that thanked his post!

    the 7 twits obviously understand that a 0.7% drop in this quarter really aint looking great for the fantastic prediction you liked so much.

    Rely on the 6m thing all you like. It's much less likely, and that wasn't my point. Others appear to understand that!

    Been a bad day for you and your chums, and I understand that.

    I read in Tony Blairs book Gordon Brown suggesting he hated Vince Cable. Tony asked him "but what if Vince is proven right". Gordon replied "I'll hate him even more". ;)

    You know what Devonis like, most of the 7 will be his own 'thankie sockkie's.

    Ok, here you go....this is my point.....

    Tell the forum, today, that you agree with the basis of what the ITEM club are predicting....

    If you won't tell us this, based on the results we have seen today...that's my point. Regardless of the 6m thing, it's FAR less likely the article and prediction in the OP's post will be correct.

    Blimey, if you are all hung up on the 6m thing, I'll just go back 3m and get another Hamish thread celebrating news which never appears....no skin off my nose!
