N Wales BL now fully underwritten with approx 20% retail investment. Yes, it's a rare event for a loan to attract a third of a million from Lenders in auction, the average being about 100k... Actually I've table that shows that somewhere...

Imagine what an alliance of cats & penguins could achieve! Please make your 1000th post more meaningful than a world ruled by cats & penguins. However the truth is right now cats do pull all the strings... Whenever they see one dangling. I do not have the eloquence to make the 1000th post either interesting or meaningful so, I've humbly borrowed Mr Max Ehrmann words to make it so. Hope everyone, especially Ton ⓉⓞⓃ, think it worthy. ''Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy''

The updated version adds "Never forget the impact of tax or risk on your perceived earnings, but remember also that money alone will not create happiness."

It seems a shame to lower the tone after the above, but my curiosity has been aroused... I wonder how many Lenders have 5k of shadow bid headroom right now, AC must know this and see how much cash is sitting in a/c's. IN EDIT Lenders only have 72.5k as far as I can see that's not in bids. How did you work out the 'IN EDIT' number? |

No great mystery and no great accuracy, just type in a pre-bid in the 'freezer' loan WSM. To see how much free cash there is for the people who happen to have a bid in it. If you also have an early bid in it too you can compare that with a new bid and make lots of wrong conclusions like I do... I think the above was just a bald statement hence 'as far as I can see'
