Nexans Norway's

Uh.

'What the hell is going on, boss?!'

You tell me, Voice.

I'd rather be writing poetry.

[More of that later ...]

Anyway ...

Eksfin finances Nexans Norway's new UK export cable contract with NOK 2bn (£155m) in loan guarantees.

NOK two billion?!

'Who's knocking it?! That's good, surely?'

I don't know, man.

The transaction covers the export and installation of advanced high-voltage subsea cables for the Moray West wind farm off the coast of Scotland. Export Finance Norway (Eksfin)'s global portfolio of loans and guarantees covering Norwegian exports to offshore wind projects has swelled to NOK 15bn since 2019.

Swelled to NOK?! These people are out of control! 'Toe the windy blood, boss!' Shut up, Voice! Please!

The Moray West wind park off the east coast of Scotland is owned by Ocean Winds, the joint venture between ENGIE (France) and EDP Renewables (from EDP group, Portugal) dedicated to offshore wind energy. The offshore wind farm will feature 60 turbines and installed capacity of 882 MW by 2025 - equating the energy demand of 1.33 million UK homes and emissions reduction of 1.1 million tonnes of CO2.

Ambitious customer.

What?

Ocean Winds holds a portfolio of 16.6 GW of gross capacity of offshore wind energy from 15 projects in operation, construction and secured development in 7 countries, making the company one the largest developers of offshore wind globally and potentially a very important customer for Norwegian exporters in this sector.

Oh, important customer. 'They're confused!' We all are.

The Moray West contract markedly strengthens Nexans Norway's position in this market. It will manufacture the cables at its factory in Halden and install them using its own dedicated cable layer vessels.

Okay.

Eksfin paves the way for private capital.

Does it?

Offshore wind projects typically demand more capital than developers and their banks can finance on their own. State-backed guarantees from Eksfin carry the highest AAA credit rating and make it easier for private banks to provide financing. In this project, Eksfin is working with a large loan syndicate where Crédit Agricole CIB acts as financial advisor and arranger of the loan facilities to Moray West.

Fine.

Anyway ... we've got voices. 'Yippee!'

"Financing Norwegian deliveries to international offshore wind projects is a key strategic priority for us. I am happy that, together with Nexans, we have succeeded in securing yet another big export contract for Norwegian wind industry in this important market," says Eksfin managing director Tone Lunde Bakker.

"The transaction also strengthens our relationship with Ocean Winds, one of the world's leading offshore wind developers. We would like to help many more Norwegian suppliers win business in these kinds of renewable energy projects. It's good for business and good for the planet," she adds.

All right.

What about Ragnhild?

"Having Eksfin on our team and being able to offer financing and loan guarantees to our customers is a major strength and competitive advantage in our export activities", says Nexans Norway managing director Ragnhild Katteland.

Fair enough.

Fact box:

No, no, no. We don't want no fact box, thank you very much. We've had enough.

These people.

Free shares!

'Give me some, boss!'

What?!

I ain't got none, Voice!

'Oh. ... ... ... /// ... ... ... What are you talking about then?'

This -

I've got a great consumer story. WeShop is making retail history allowing people to make cash from FREE shares. The UK shopping platform WeShop, the world's first shopping platform which rewards with 20% of shares for every purchase, is now paying out CASH for SHARES.

The community owned e-commerce platform has seen incredible growth with over 115,000 Brits now using the site to make purchases and earn FREE shares which can be cashed in.

The chairman Richard Griffiths is available for interview.

Best wishes

Ian

Yeah, yeah.

'Is this a PR email?'

Of course it is.

Anyway ...

'Are you going to interview Richie?'

Christ! No.

'Is he going to interview you?'

I don't give interviews, idiot.

'Right. I forgot.'

I'm not talking to anyone ...

I'll let him have his say though ...

Weshop Chairman, Richard Griffiths, says: "The way we shop has changed dramatically in the last ten years thanks to rapid advances in technology. While we've seen the dramatic growth of online shopping platforms - and their profits - none of them are designed to benefit the people who keep them going, the shoppers. That's why WeShop was born, building a totally shoppable social network that is owned by the community. And to show we are serious, we're giving away over 90% of WeShop to the people who use it. We think that the potential of WeShop is gigantic and will have a massive impact on the world of ecommerce and online retail. Imagine if Amazon had done this when they started, the wealth created by Amazon would have been shared amongst the people who made it successful, its users. Indeed, the world might look very different now, and that's what we're trying to achieve, a better, fairer and more democratised shopping experience for everyone."

Ha, ha, ha! Richie, son, if Amazon had done that when they started, Jeff wouldn't have that big super mega yacht of his, would he?

Dear oh dear.

Never mind.

I mean ... that's the whole point of starting a business like this, surely? Or am I missing something?

'Some people don't care about money, boss. Like Elon.'

Yeah, right. That's why Elon is worth $200 billion. Idiot!'

Never mind.

ENDS

...

Anything else? Music?

I've decided that Good Times is my minimum standard for a BIG song. I mean, I was rehearsing it last night, and I rather like it ...

So ...

Mighty Soul

Shady, Dodgy, Shifty

This Love

The Future

Life and Death

Nothing

This World Don't Mean a Thing

Lovers On The Make

Stella

Malibu

What's This Life We Live?

And Rain Came Down

Good Times

So, I need seven more songs for a BIG TWENTY ...

'Yippee!'

Ha! Don't celebrate yet, Voice. Writing songs isn't a priority for me at the moment because ...

I need to rehearse, rehearse, rehearse ...

You dig?

'Yeah, okay.'

Laters!

Words on a Wednesday

That's not a bad title, is it?

'It's not great, boss.'

It's not bad though, Voice.

Idiot.

Anyway, kooks ... these are my words on a Wednesday.

PR emails? Oh, I've got a few, but - 'Too few to mention!' But I'm not in the mood. 'Okay.'

What an idiot!

'Leave me alone!'

Shut up.

'I'm not an idiot.'

Whatever.

You make Elon look like Lucky. Or Lucky look like Elon.

'What do you mean?'

I don't know.

Just making conversation, that's all. Just using words, for my sins.

'Put some music on!'

No.

'Sing us a song!'

NO!

Let's have some silence for a bit.

[Silence.]

'How much of a bit?'

Longer than that.

[Long silence.]

'I'm bored.'

Say something then. Say something interesting.

'On my wages?! Are you serious?!'

Idiot.

I mean ...[3], and ... ... ... does anyone know what I mean?[3], and, I mean ...[3], and, uh, uh ... we all suffer, I suppose ... in our own ways ... and maybe that's the mystery[3], and the world is a prison[3], and I like the mysteries ... when I can understand them ... and other people can't ... it makes me feel so ooo special[3], and, ha, ha, ha![3], and, but, but, BUT(!) ... I don't know everything ... ... ... oh, you may be surprised, yes, ha![3], and you, you, you ...[3], and are YOU(!) spinning???[3], and a-ROUND, and a-ROUND, and a-ROUND ... / ... and there are worse things you could be doing[3], and, like living your life in the "real" world[3], and ... 'Don't make me laugh, Mikey! ... It's a real prison, is what it is'[3], and I know, Voice, I know ... I said![3], and, listen ... conceptual literature ... shamanic literature ... it grabs your soul ... it changes you[3], and, well ... that's the theory[3], and, but ... maybe you're a square, yeah?[3], and ... 'Genuine kooks are so rare!'[3], and never never never never never never ... mind - !!![3], and that's my advice[3], and

The best quality of life is a big consciousness

I should think.

[Do you know?]

And so should you ...

That's better than money, and all the things that come with money.

Of course, it would be nice to have both, but they rarely go together, you dig?

If you have a big consciousness ... there's no reason why you can't push yourself to make a lot of money, BUT(!) ...

It's all emptiness, really.

It's probably not the best use of your time.

But you can waste your time instead ... staring at the sea.

Yeah, yeah.

Is that a waste of time??? You're thinking and feeling on a high level while you're staring, man.

That's something that your average person doesn't consider. They think you're wasting your time if you're not living the way they are.

[Blah, blah, blah. Listen to them? No.]

With all the nonsense of the unnatural world ...

Obviously, when they die ... that's the end. Not only do they not talk to you any more - because they can't, but it's difficult to find anyone who wants to talk about them. It's difficult to find an average living person who even remembers your average dead person.

And the cosmos probably isn't pleased to see them ... ???

Maybe all their time is wasted.

[Listen to me!] Unless you're thinking about life and death 24/7 ... you're not going to be on the cosmos's radar.

Bad news for your average person.

The cosmos doesn't see them! Oh, it can't!

Just saying, man.

And we're not talking about being clever or smart or whatever. That's not big consciousness. Elon Musk and Bill Gates are smart.

So, maybe ... be smart!

That's how you get the money!

Be smart! But avoid the cosmos like the plague. The cosmos is for people who want a permanent life.

Seventy or eighty years is not permanent. That's obvious. Seventy, or eighty ... get it?

Eternity is what the really big souls are after.

That's the ultimate prize.

And I don't mean sitting on a cloud and playing a harp like some awful square. Or ... some awful average person. Because that's what they're after, those characters - in their moments of pure fantasy - and they ain't getting it.

It doesn't exist.

The cosmos doesn't roll like that.

You know???

Oh, if you know, you know.

[No. 1,091] I'm confronting the things you're hiding from

That puts me ahead.
