General Stock Discussion / Re: Yuri Arcurs First Public Statement
« on: July 29, 2013, 18:34 »
I am reminded of a certain Mr Bruce J Ismay.
He persuaded thousands of people that his ship was a great ship, a ship that was changing the way people would travel, a ship of the future, unsinkable.
Many, many people listened to him and bought tickets to sail on his ship.
During the voyage the ship got into trouble and started to sink, Mr Ismay got off the ship that he said was great, the ship of the future, the ship that was unsinkable, and headed over to another ship, a ship of the type he had previously criticised and said was a ship of the past.
Many of the other people he had persuaded to get on his ship were unable to leave like he had and were left to their fate.
When he arrived at the other ship the people in charge gave him opiates so that he didn't have to face up to the reality of the situation, he was reviled (I do mean reviled) as a coward for the rest of his life and his reputation never recovered.
Anyway, I must go I have some deck chairs to arrange, a band is playing and I believe there may even be some ice for my gin and tonic.
