Crabs in a bucket ain't my problem

It's their problem.

They are only hurting themselves.

I always try to encourage everyone - kook and square alike - to improve themselves because that's what I believe in, man.

Self-improvement for the entire human race!

But some people think that's the worst thing ever, apparently.

I just ...

Ah, maybe they think there's no point ... if everyone dies, anyway.

Caesar dies, Beethoven dies ... and the tea lady dies.

True, true.

However, the cosmos is watching!

The cosmos wants to recruit big souls, and give them even bigger positions in other lives!

How do I know this???

Ha! How could I not know it? Oh, you! Spend just one dreamy night in my head and see and hear the things I see and hear. All right?

You'll be amazed.

...

Yeah, yeah. I've been thinking about that Krishna guy again. Maybe he's the most impressive of all the massive action guys.

He just walked out the door! At nearly seventy! Leaving his family staring open-mouthed like characters from Gogol's Dead Souls.

A boat to America ...

He didn't know anyone. He didn't have any money. He didn't have particularly good health.

He didn't care!

He was GONE.

Do you understand???

He was utterly GONE.

His mind wasn't connected to anything on earth, anything around him.

And this isn't a religious thing, by the way. He could have been selling his secret recipe for fried chicken, you dig?

No, this is just a very rare state of mind. And maybe a dangerous one.

Listen to me ...

A lot of people are too connected for their own good. And they want YOU with them.

Just saying, man.

Yes, I'm just saying.

Remember ...

The world is going away, and it won't be pretty.

NOW ...

Where are you going?

Eksfin supports Scatec's power

Wow!

'It's a plant in Brazil, boss.'

I know, Voice, I know.

I hope they're watering it ...

My cactus died. It wasn't my fault.

Anyway ...

Norwegian renewable technology company Scatec ASA is building the 531MW solar power plant in Rio Grande do Norte state in north-eastern Brazil together with partners Equinor and Hydro Energy's renewables arm, Hydro Rein. The plant will give Hydro Energy's Alunorte refinery access to renewable energy for alumina production by supplying 1.2TW of power, and provide electricity to more than 600,000 Brazilian homes. Eksfin (Export Finance Norway) provides guarantees totalling up to USD 71m for the project's realisation. Eksfin's provision of risk reduction financing has been a key factor in Scatec's international expansion since 2010. 

Christ. Can we have that in English, please? 'Is it in Norwegian, boss?' I don't know what language that is, man. Never mind.

Actually, my brain ain't working too good this morning ...

BUT(!)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again ... I'm sure it means something to someone.

'Ha!'

Yeah, ha.

It's all about power and that.

Not a bloody plant, idiot!

'Eh?!'

Construction is underway at the 531 MW Mendubim power plant, with the three partners each taking a 33.33% ownership stake. Scatec will be responsible for plant operation and maintenance alongside its partners.

Power plant. Fair enough.

'It's a powerful plant.'

Yeah.

Uh.

Look, there's a lot of this PR email. I'm just going to go to the two voices. 'Two voices?! Yippee!'

Oh, he loves the voices.

'I love the voices!'

They know.

Anyway ...

"The world needs more renewable energy than ever before. Support from strong financial partners such as Eksfin is essential to assist us on our mission to scale up renewables in emerging markets. The Mendubim project is a key milestone for us in our focus market Brazil, and we expect the solar energy market in the country to further accelerate," says Scatec CEO Mr. Terje Pilskog.

Thank you, Terje!

Tone? You're up next. 'Don't blow it.' Shut up!

Come on. In your own time, like.

"Scatec is today one of the world's leading renewable energy solutions providers and we have been co-operating closely for over a decade. I would like to congratulate Scatec, along with Hydro Energy and Equinor, on this latest important project in Brazil. It secures Norwegian exports, which is Eksfin's primary mandate, with the added benefit of significant emissions reduction and renewable power generation for Brazilian industry and households," says Eksfin CEO Ms. Tone Lunde Bakker.

Nice one, Tone!

Screw tightens

Okay, okay.

'What's this, boss?'

It's disco, Voice.

'Disco?!'

That's right. You heard me. Disco.

'Whatever.'

It's from Wealth Club. They love disco. I love disco.

Screw tightens on central bankers as food inflation reaches levels last seen in the 70's

Inflation ticked unexpectedly upwards in February, with CPI rising 1.1% in the month, while annualised inflation kicked up to 10.4% from 10.1% in January.

The rising rate of annual inflation reflects higher food and clothing costs, particularly food where prices rose at their fastest rate year-on-year since 1977, partially offset by cheaper motor fuel and recreational activities.

Inflation had been forecast to come in at 9.9% year-on-year (Trading Economics).

'Er ... where's the disco?'

Christ! Will you be patient, man?! Our Nick has got all the disco stuff ...

Nicholas Hyett, Investment Analyst, Wealth Club:

"An unexpected tick up in inflation in February will put central bankers in a squeeze. We're already seeing fallout from the rapid rise in interest rates around the world, with weaker banks outside the UK starting to pop under the pressure. The hope was that a steady drift down in inflation would let central bankers ease back on rate rises. Instead a spike in food prices, up 18.2% and the highest it’s been since 1977, and higher prices in restaurants and hotels, up 12.1%, means the fight against inflation is not yet over."

'Nothing to do with disco!'

Uh.

Idiot!

Come on, Nick! Lay the disco stuff on him!

"Food inflation is already back in the disco era, the challenge for central bankers is to limit other reminders of the late 70s to flared jeans and shoulder pads. Unfortunately that leaves the Bank of England with unappealing choices - ease back on rate rises but risk leaving inflation running higher when households are already struggling, or stay in the inflationary fight and risk further economic crunches. It's a circle that's not easily squared."

You see, Voice?

'Yeah. That's really impressive, that is.'

Ha!

...

Never mind.

I know that Tina Charles - if she were reading this post - would appreciate my efforts, and Nick's efforts.

'He wasn't even dancing!'

Who wasn't?!

'Nick.'

How do you know?

'I had a quick look. He was just sitting there, talking. He had a suit and tie on, too. He doesn't have any disco in him at all.'

Leave him alone.

'I'm just saying.'

Yeah, yeah.

Boney M. did a great version of Sunny. They wouldn't have a problem with Nick.

'Well -'

And I'm just saying. Okay?

'Yeah.'

Lucky announces, really

But we have Estelle first ...

Hello,

Please find attached the press release regarding the closing of a senior debt financing package by Vauban Infrastructure Partners for Boreal Holding AS for a total amount of c. NOK3.2bn, completed through a club deal with Norwegian and international banks, and institutional investors.

The refinancing was achieved through a combination of several facilities to refinance the senior debt of the Company, to sustain its development, and to support its usual business activities. Boreal's ability to raise bank debt in today's debt market is a major factor of confidence in Vauban's business model for Boreal and more generally its investment strategy in the Nordics, which is one of Vauban's core investment regions.

Don't hesitate to contact me for any further information.

Best,

Estelle

...

I like Lucky.

He doesn't tell lies.

He just gives you the facts straight.

Yeah, straight from his brain.

He doesn't know what he's saying.

He doesn't care what he's saying.

He understands nothing, and he's very happy.

There is no despair in him.

There is no pain.

There is no anxiety.

Maybe he's not happy.

Maybe he just doesn't feel anything.

Which makes him so ooo happy in my book.

I envy him.

I envy Lucky's simplicity.

He doesn't belong to your world.

He doesn't invest.

He doesn't report anything.

Words are given to him.

It's all a big joke for Lucky.

The cosmos has chosen him.

And he's a thought-form now.

He can never die - if we're thinking about him.

But he doesn't care!

He wouldn't even notice if you left him alone with his thoughts.

Yeah, thoughts that are not his.

Lucky has no thoughts!

Do you know how lucky that makes him?

Music for kooks

I've put two songs on YouTube ...

Mighty Soul

Round the Bend

But I don't like the other recordings. I need more!

These two -

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

This Love

And maybe these two -

Nothing

Stella

I don't think anyone has listened to the songs yet. It's going to be difficult to get people to listen. Maybe I'll have to put the time in to get some more Twitter followers, or do some promotional work, or something. I don't know.

I won't do that yet though because I need more recordings. That's the first priority.

So, yeah ... it's gonna be hard, man.

'What happened to your recording of This Love, boss? I thought that was all right?'

Too many horrible background noises, Voice.

I wish that guy I recorded with in 1989 and 1990 was still around. Maybe he is, somewhere. 'He played for time, didn't he? Jiving you that you were voodoo. The kids were just crass. He was the nazz. With God-given ass. He took it all too far. But, boy, could he play guitar!' Er, yeah ... maybe.

[What was that all about???]

I could try contacting music industry people. There's a guy at Universal who's willing to listen to new stuff.

But I need more recordings!

This would be good -

Stella

Nothing

This Love

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

Mighty Soul

With Round the Bend removed. Just five big ones.

'How about putting all your BIG DOZEN online?'

That would be crazy, Voice. But how would I record them all? It's a nightmare just getting one recording done.

Never mind.

Listen! It's being UNKNOWN that is the major problem.

'Those five will be enough, boss. Then just promote them around the clock.'

Yes, that might work.

Anyway ...

Laters, kooks!

'Laters, rockers ... and rollers, too!'

Ha!
