LOL, you forgot the bit where we therefore become liable for the mounting costs which are deducted from all other unrelated loans, and then they start sending the bailiffs after us 
At the moment Abl seem to still be functioning, AF is making new deals and gaining liquidity and Putin is keeping prices high It's not a great place to be, but as I'm here, it seems that it may be less of a loss than it did last month. Positive is relative and my expectations are lower, not helped by SVB hitting startup investments.

In Ablrate's January 2023 update, the Doncaster project was "due to be completed and up and running in April 2023" In Ablrate's May 2023 update, it "should be completed and running soon" The 1 year anniversary of the involvement of the new lender is 4 days away V plc's announcement about funding (linked to it buying more of AF's battery sites) was, in Ablrate's May 2023 update, at the stage where "there will be more information forthcoming in the week begginning 22nd May" --- Who fancies a crab's leg for tea? At £85 for one course? The wife and I just shared fish and chips here in the north east of England, that was a treat. It will remain so I feel, the £15,000 I have on the Ablrate platform has gone I reckon. How many years to sell two airplanes?

It will remain so I feel, the £15,000 I have on the Ablrate platform has gone I reckon. How many years to sell two airplanes? Several years ago my microwave was on the blink, so I took it to a local electrical shop to see if they could repair it. A couple of days later I got a call from the engineer, who said I've got some good news and some bad news:
- the bad news is that the inverter in the microwave is broken and it would be cheaper to buy a new microwave rather than repair yours.
- the good news is that I've got it in bits on the bench and I can throw it stright in the skip if you want
I suspect that the ultimate fate of the aircraft will be the same as my microwave. It will cost more to get them airworthy than they are worth, and they will end up alongside my microwave in the skip.
Fortunately, I'm only in this loan for a couple of hundred.

Meaning I've now got a load of spares for other Microwaves I'm fixing but I can't fix yours.

DBW believes he sent an "Addendum of 06/03/2023 detailing the rationale of the V****n deal" (with F*******r) - I didn't receive the update, did anyone else?

They posted the regulatory announcement & an addendum saying they were going to post something more detailed later once it had been signed off by the company. Anything they send should be on the website for all investors to see or at least a notification that something has been emailed so investors know to check emails/spam & chase if they haven't received it.

I've just checked and you're right, the 6th March addendum is posted on the website - my issue is I didn't receive notification by email, did anyone else?

Inbox full of AF loan updates... I just have a mental image of Frank Drebin telling us, "absolutely nothing to see here!"

My count is 9. Personally, I don't really care about the words (bearing in mind that Ablrate words generally = delay); what I want is my money back along with the interest owed so I can get it working elsewhere.
I admit that I am somewhat miffed that I am funding somebody else's business - at significant risk - for no real, proximate, return. That applies to all my current non-paying Ablrate loans, of course.

Anyone like to hazard a guess as to why the update promised the week before last hasn't been issued?

Lost track a bit ... do we know about the CVA on CeeHeeBeeGee Prop (ex FProp) & F Pod that Abl signed off on about 10 days ago? Not even sure which loans these related to anymore or if its the primary borrower
