We need a thread that eliminates the subject until he converses on the various issues we raise!
There is only one live CBM driven power point in Botswana. It is Selemo and the subject matter poo pooed Selemo despite it powering the pumps and other things at Lesedi for 7 years. It is GREEN energy so he should appreciate the colour because his posts are green on many screens. Green Screen has a ring to it.
We know my £300 - £500 investments each month are a source of ridicule to him!
Has be commented on the saving of 50k+ litres of non-green diesel? Has he said how much diesel is at the pumps in Botswana? I imagine their duty is a fraction of the Uk's but I dunno. How much does a barrel cost to be delivered or taken away? Selemo power has savings beyond the price of the fuel. Labour costs are being spent on managing Lesedi development rather than administering diesel. There are positives everywhere if you look for them.
The number of trades is negligible - so i guess most of us are in suspenders waiting for news of generators being delivered and installed , and gas being connected , and water being pumped to the evaporation ponds.
It is quite complicated until day 1 and then life will be more of the same! Extra water, gas and electricity and maybe wells and Solar panels. And Massissi being reelected?
This could be a short thread for a while,
The Fab 4 or 1 Big demented C£nt ...I know which group i'd rather be affiliated
To
Likewise - and what a foul mouthed one you are yourself !
Wrong again brad - I was not poo-pooing powr generation at Selemo. I was simply saying power generation on site there was not in the quantity and volume you seem to think. Why? Because it is a base camp with minimal electricity needs, such that it would never make economic sense to keep a CBM reservoir being used to draw feedstock therefrom. The cost of doing this; field staff to man equipment, gas extraction from the gas/water mix, never mind keeping a horizontal well that cost 2m dollars to drill in constant production to run a kitchen and lights and perhaps an occasional air conditioning unit running. This would make Zero economic sense given only petty cash expenditure amounts are being saved - and as you love to remind us, TG is no fool and parsimonious to a fault.
Just goes, yet again, to demonstrate how blinkered, blind-sided and monocular view the cheerleaders take here; Brad in particular. But i know you guys are too soft to take issue with him..
BOTS since you are seemingly responding to things you have said in the past, why did you say the below? And how wrong were you in your opinion? Including the extract re Botswana Officers Pension Fund for your reference
"In short, this current fund raise from sources in Botswana is by no means going to be easy to arrange".
BOTS_PROJECT 28th Feb 2024
"Botswana Public Officers Pension Fund (BPOPF) have increased their shareholding to 16.63%"
TLOU RNS 26th March 2024
If you say so Cloo.
Maybe we should swap profile names then.
If I say so? Well they are your words less than a month before the RNS extract I included.... You trying to deny that now 🤣🤣🤣
Deny ??!!! I stand by it 1,000 per cent. 8 per cent was a pathetic outcome. The only thing more pathetic is your child-like efforts to think otherwise. Are you really so dumb.
No need to answer
But that's not what you said, your comment relates to raising further funds from sources in Botswana... you think its pathetic the Botswana Officers Pension Fund increased their holdings by over 3x? That's the thing with you BOTS you can never seem to admit being wrong... If you were talking about the fund raise in total why did you add "from sources in Botswana" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
More importantly you keep saying you are an expert in Botswana, why did your call about raising funds from sources in Botswana (which you only chose to make after you saw they didn't take up their entitlement) go sooooooooo wrong... Is it that you don't actually have a clue? Let's see if you can admit it
Wrong yet again. You guys are the ones that say I am the expert in Botswana. Not even a subtle difference - no doubt you wont agree.
I mean really - come on Cloo. Stop making an absolute tool of yourself man.
Interesting, so you are saying you don't know anything then? Just when you say things like that on the 24th of Feb below it implies you have some sort of expertise (especially over us).. But thanks for confirming what we all knew, you know absolutely nothing outside of Doncaster...
"PS I dont know everything. But i do know loads more about gas in Botswana than you ....Get over it."
Clue you need to revisit his email and find where he says the Pension Fund did not apply for their full quota for December placing but mysteriously topped up their application in January. The clown is incapable of understanding the most straightforward information.
The failed December placing was down to misfortune 80% and poor judgement by TLOU 20%.
The misjudgement was that the market price would rise above 3.5c.
The misfortune was that it declined to 2.8c.
The bad news was it was unattractive to most people.
The good news was that the Pesnion fund knew that 2.8c or 3.5c was irrelevant.
They knew TLOU needed some working capital and with hindsight they'd see that 3.5c was a bargain price once the working capital effected made revenues and share price in a few months time! I wanted to join them in helping in a small way for the same motive.
IG confused me by offering me a placing at a UK address. That seemed to be impossible from the RNS and I'll never know if withdrawing was sense or not. Our option price was 8c yonks ago , 3.5c in 2024? Bargain price!!
You keep telling me what I am saying Cloo. You seem to enjoy doing that. All being well you will get something right, soon.
Hope you and yer da have a nice weekend.
It's more a reminder of what you have said BOTS, seems to be needed as your mental capacity (or lack of) seems to give you a small memory span..
Have a fantastic weekend my boo, hope the weather in Doncaster is good and you can actually leave your bedroom...
Cloo if you keep repeating Donkey there is no chance of you ever getting anything about TLOU right.
My God I unfiltered Donkey and loaded all his posts - 97% or more that I never read!
On page 6 of 100% filtered messages I finally found what he had to say about the pension fund!
It is nothing short of incredibly stupid!!!
The Doc told us all, well in advance, he was not subscribing to the December placing.
His reasoning could have been several things. TG may have been testing the water without an underwriter to bring home to us how dependent we are on Doc! That worked! Or the Doc did not think 3.5c was discounted enough? Or he'd invested enough and did not want to get too close to 51% majority holding?
WHAT WAS OBVIOUS IS THAT THE FUND TOPPED UP THEIR FULL DECEMBER APPLICATION . Donkey is so thick it defies logic!!! Looking for the post I could npt believe hpw often he mentioned Brad - he does not understand what a filter is either!
And he posts on this thread ..... effing incredible!
"RE: Open Offer 2p Mar 2024 22:31
Why did the Doc and BPOPF not subscribe to the fund raise in December ? Why did BPOPF take until middle March to commit funds?
I know. They wanted to make it seem like it was easy for Tlou to get their money. So simple really. "
Lol agreed Brad just when I think we have reached ultimate stupidiy, BOTS comes in again and surprises me with comments of his..
Why would you un-filter him ..FFS ..He “SPOUTS” nothing but antagonistic nonsense to satisfy and or hide his insecurities and vulnerabilities.
Well said Winni.
Hopefully there will be agreements for debt financing signed soon, then we can push on without too much 'background noise'
I wanted to find his post on the Pension Fund , Winni, so it was a temporary un-filter for that reason.
6 pages of crap to get to it was incredible! How can anyone say so little but write so much?
Filter is back on again , where it belongs!
I am trying to remember what I was watching the other night. It was a drama , but there was a financial guru in it given a college lecture , and he was stressing he had made his billions because he opted for debt instead of equity on all hs world-wide properties!
It turned out he was buying hotels that were tiny b&b establishments in reality - and publishing pictures of skyscrapers as if they were the hotels! People invested in the skyscraper theoretically and he fraudulently pocketed their monies. My memory is dreadful - I do not know if I watched the whole thing - I think it was about a girl who was a bit of a geek as a child and went on to become a billionaire in her teens. It is coming back "the donkey of the female world" something like "the most stupid confidence trickster in the world" - but the TG was is to raise debt instead of equity. And soon he will have assets to borrow against , and exponential growth on the revenues. With luck, 1.2Bn shares will not be far off the ultimate issue. The Doc will have a decent holding around a third of the shares , and the Fund and the Gilbys will retain control of TLOU for the distant future.
The dropout ? .....Brad?
OMG I am getting thicker by the day. Yes Winni , that was it and I did not watch it to the end.
I thought I'd said I was selling up in some sort of cryptic manner until the penny dropped. How sad is that?
I have had a 58" TV for a week no and was looking forward to the 1% club because the lettering was much smaller in the 40" non-smart Samsung. Could not beieve how big the clues appeared and I was too close to the screen I think!
Imagine my disappointment when I went out on the 80% question!!!!
4 guys on an away day. One was reading a book, one was cooking , one was doing playing tennis.
Steve was reading , Dan was cooking , Richard was playing tennis. So what was Andrew doing????
I was trying to think of a Steve Read , Dan Cooke and Richard Court and thought Andrew would have a logical name from them. Talk about overthinking it!
I failed on several other simple ones too but got the tricky ones most people failed onm, but not the 1% question!
The clues contained the spellings ONE, TWO, THREE , FOUR and the options contained a number in words!!
All the failures were similar - a paragraph contained contiguous letters V E S and T in a search for a 4 letter garment! I missed them. Could not see the wood for the trees?
I tried a memory stick to record programmes on the USB ports - and they failed because the sticks could not support the speed of the recording! They work on the 32" JVC upstairs so that was another disappointment!
I have 2 Humax boxes (Freeview and Freesat) which I thought I could turn off - but I'll have to record and playback from them I suppose. They are compatible but are wasting electricity in standby mode.
I can watch PL football on the BROWSER and I was hoping I could record the match (end of the PL season today).
