You certainly have a nose for something :))
LN,
Read my historic posts as regards you - though you often post some great stuff.
I expressed very significant reservations about you fairly on in your passage on this BB (it took me a while to sense that something was astray because your post are often so good).
Just something strange in that. Bit odd, really.
And then F&M - who often posts great stuff him/herself - comes right into back you up.
hmmm??????
And, before you start yelling like Tom58, I am no general praise-singer and certainly not for Nico (read some of the uncomplimentary stuff he wrote about me).
I do, however, have a nose for VALUE.
That could be in the SP or the special dividend/whatever mechnism is used to crystallise VALUE.
But, on the journey to VALUE, the most important thing is information.
And Nico has done truly sterling work on sharing information.
The last thing anyone sane on the BB would want is people being scared off from posting because of the woke brigade.
Sefton I read your post perfectly clearly, and by extension of your words you very clearly indicated that Nic is insane.
You said ā No-one sane would wish misfortune on others or to seek to profit out of someone's misery.ā
Nico directly wished misfortune on others (all of us living in the British isles in fact) with his wish for a āsevere energy shortageā in the post I commented on. So by your own definition he is not sane. (By the way, I donāt think Nic is insane).
Iām not āoffendedā or seeking any apology. This isnāt woke or PC. I simply told Nic in relation to his one specific personal opinion that I found it a bit weird. It takes all sortsā¦
LN,
This discussion is not helping anyone.
I did not AT ALL suggest Nico was insane - just read my post. Quite the opposite.
What I said - VERY CLEARLY - was that I felt Nico had added very significantly value to this BB by his comments and research, especially on Ireland (which tends to sometimes get less attention from posters).
I felt he had done sterling work by often brininging information to the table.
That should not preclude him from being then able to express an opinion on said information.
Which he sometimes (not always) does.
And he tends to express his opinion in pretty reasonable terms.
But if something is a turnip, there is no reason not to call the bloody thing a turnip.
Which the Irish energy situation is.
I would further observe that his comments were related to how this could affect PRD's SP/VALUE (you can pick or choose).
A comment/information on a situation that could affect PRD's SP/VALUE should surely be of interest to any open-minded investor/reader on the BB??????
This PC/woke stuff has really taken on the infection rates of a pandemic.
Oh, wait.....pandemic????
Sefton - being polite, I can only assume that your ability for comprehension has been compromised in your race to 1000 posts (only two to goā¦)
āNico ā¦ did not make any statement that was not factually-based as regards the Ireland mess.ā - How do you qualify the personal wish for āsevere energy shortagesā as fact based? In your next line you go on to qualify the person youāre defending as āinsaneā if evaluated against the merits of your statement.
LochNez you certainly spoke for me. Thank you
I would further wish to observe for the record that Nico (and he and I had some contentious issues before, so this is hardly "praise-singing") did not make any statement that was not factually-based as regards the Ireland mess.
No-one sane would wish misfortune on others or to seek to profit out of someone's misery.
Nico simply observed that both Ireland and the UK have very little gas storage capacity.
They will both need to sort out the gas issue.
PRD stands to benefit - from the total incompetence of political leadership.
Had these government clowns reacted earlier, PRD would have made less money - but much faster.
Now PRD stands to make much more money - but it was delayed while the Irish government dithered and played Coco the Clown.
My submission is that Nico did nothing more than point out those facts.
Sefton,
This isnāt an attack of the woke brigade, PC, or anything similar. Just basic decency and values.
I acknowledge that Nic has been a prolific poster with some interesting stuff shared. Like I said in my previous post, I just find it sinister wishing suffering in some way to further an investment case.
To all those that have gotten their knickers in a twist (PC on steroids) over Nico's comments on the Ireland situation, I would seriously suggest you read his posts over many months (he had to change handle name but it is the same poster).
And see that he has a) been on stag duty on the Ireland situation pretty much all the time, ensuring we were all alerted to developments/news there and b) has also been very informed and insightful on Morocco and T&T.
Posters like Nico are very valuable on opportunities like PRD because there is limited research outside of here.
And I am very gratfeul fo read his stuff - because then I am more likely to take a better informed ivestment decision for having had more information to calibrate.
Those having hissy-fits over political incorrectness should weight that up against the information loss we would have if the likes of Nico decided not to post.
Some people really need to get over themselves and stop running around trying to find something to be upset about.
Let them eat tatties
ā I'm hoping for severe energy shortages this winter for our islands. If we go short the Irish go shorter, that's for sure...ā
Nicidemus - I must admit that I find the fervour with which you wish for crisis, presumably affecting you and other people you care about, a bit bizarre and unsavouryā¦ are you that desperate for this to come good? I want it to, and Iām pretty confident it will but I wouldnāt wish gross misfortune on others to enhance the prospects.
See from article link posted below. I find it hard to believe this but this certainly appears to be a quality industry publucation-
"The UK only has 1% of its annual gas demand in storage, giving it one of the lowest gas storage capacities in Europe. This has left the UK much more susceptible to supply issues than other European nations, which hold as much as 30% of their annual demand in storage"
However, I was pleased to discover whilst this is certainly a worry for the UK, Ireland has zero percentage in storage and has had no storage facility, since the one Kinsale shut down in 2017.
What will it take for Minister Ryan to see sense- I'm hoping for severe energy shortages this winter for our islands. If we go short the Irish go shorter, that's for sure...

Nic by act of the British Parliament Ireland is not considered a foreign country nor Irish people as foreigners. We are seeking a relationship with these folks. Tread softly.
Indeed Tesla, particularly when Ireland is forever teetering on the verge of a major falling out with the country they most rely upon.... I don't know how Minister Ryan manages to sleep..
They aren't just reliant on the UK for natural gas for heating and burning in their power stations either. They import anything between 7-10% of their electricity from us as well via the Easy-West Connector.
Let's hope for their sake Boris doesn't engineer a major meltdown in relations. I'd not put it past him, nothing better to detract from domestic problems by picking a fight with Johnny Foreigner

Why assuming you can rely on the UK and the rest of europe is dangerous.
