Brian announces that Trotters Independent trading are handling the workover completion things are looking rosy IMO.
Welcome back hun...... Mine are all at HRH's pile at Sandringham. I re-located them. If you're out late on a moonlit night, you might just glimpse one wearing a diamond tiara or hear the tinkling of a champagne glass... They cross the path if they see me coming now....I'm far too downmarket for them...
hoper thanks for that post by TW. He is clearly right to say our sp is a joke.Think he may be trying to say that retrospectively as previously he seemed to be implying the company was a joke and clearly he would never do that-would he. The sp is a joke, with 150ft column of oil and that found on our first drill, only 42m shares in issue with most tightly held, any sort of flow rates will send this sp back above the £6.90 it was a few weeks ago.Oh dear is that ramping or stating the breeding obvious?
Did I say I was going anywhere?
Had to have my Ginger Nut (daschund ) Put to sleep on Tuesday very sad!
They're just unpleasant individuals. I'm afraid these bbs are littered with them. The author William Golding who wrote Lord of the Flies, was staggered by the observations he made regarding human behaviour during his Naval career in the Second World War. He couldn't believe that people who had received an education in a civilised country could behave so badly towards each other. These were not savages from a primitive society. So why look for any other reason..... Some people just rejoice in other people's misfortune and are inherently nasty.... Sad but true
Looks like that Viz comic I saw a couple of weeks back had it right; I mentioned at the time it was about to start raining on the parade of certain parties but I must admit I wasn't expecting it so soon. Apparently it isn't just the USOP lawyers either; Roger Mellie mentioned that there are groups under investigation on these boards. Super.
r u still here?
Quality of workmen employed by USOP is most commendable. Brian is pretty smart in this respect. I for one am grateful to him as reading 2bob's posting, to maximise this operation we needed Tip Top engineers.
cuda where is todays trades on that link please? http://sdrv.ms/TSxM3H
what happened to the slugs... i go away for 2 months, come back and now hope we are not moving towards a iii to fill the gap the trolls have lost... i vote bring back the slugs, it used to be such a happy board...!
Don't have the time now but you need to study all the facts.We have a serious oil discovery here with only 42 m shares in issue and a group of people have been working 24/7 to get the sp down by posting lies.This has been no ordinary de-ramp!!
'the Company has no intention of being distracted from its agenda by these matters' That's the only line I care about, and the sooner they put out details on who and when regarding the completion of the workover the better.
i only read facts and not reading between any lines as it can therefore be interpreted in numerous ways, pending what you want to see. Some prolonged allegations were made and the company has said enough is enough and the BOD has every right to defend its business and personal reputation. This is a sure warning for those who may now consider twice before posting again. as before there is no reference or blame to the drop in share price.... this is merely your interpretation and hear say. The RNS is clear and specific in its content. Benst86, are you invest hear ? if not why post....
Interesting reading back over some of this morning's posts. I agree with both sides of the 'blame' argument. I agree that the constant de-ramping from some posters would have been enough to deter many investors from this stock, particularly given its 'colourful' history. The campaign they fought was relentless and unremitting. It was a disgrace. But the real offender in my opinion was Tom Winnifrith because his articles attract a lot of attention....and he probably doesn't give a damn about fines or whatever because he makes more in revenue than those could possibly cost him. Let's hope that the legal action includes him....and that the fine is a very heavy one!!! I seem to remember Nostra Terra taking out similar action last year after a long campaign of savage postings by uninvested people. So this is by no means a first. Hopefully, such actions will help to tidy up the Internet. It has become quite a playing field for the nastier sector of society. But I also think that BM is being a little disingenuous if he believes that the reason for the catastrophic fall in the sp was entirely due to these de-rampers. If that was the case, why hadn't we seen a fall before? They've been around for ages. Most of the blame for the fall in the sp was because of the way the news in the RNS was presented. It was a good RNS but from the start it was written from the premise that disappointing news was to follow. And this triggered a selling panic by a few but immediately the sp plummeted out of control on the GXG. The ugliness that ensued from all the de-rampers was nothing short of schadenfreude! I never cease to be amazed at the unpleasantness that is often to be found in human nature .... But, hopefully this will be a lesson to both BM and the perpetrators alike. BM has already stepped up to the mark and is seeking legal redress. He is now aware of this bb too so with luck he will dip into it now and again and might even have read some of our remarks concerning the RNS. He is an intelligent man so I'm sure will do better next time. Good luck everyone
Agreed.Brian KNOWS what we have got in great detail.He is not great on investor sentiment and I think most of the big fall was down to the wording of the RNS plus the easily-manipulated nature of the exchange we are on.Nevertheless it is scandalous that people can hide behind anonimity and libel people making false accusations and statements.The chance is that many posts were formulated to get the sp lower .If any of these characters have held shares since they posted this garbage it should be possible to evidence fraud and get the FSA on the case.I think there are enough of us long-termers here who wont let this go until convictions have been secured.Over the years I have tussled with a few people who lied and tried to get away with it.I have accused one of the top legal firms of taking their client's money under false pretences after I proved that he was lying.Some say I am like a dog with a bone so let us all work together to ensure those posters get justice!!
they are implying. if they weren't bothered, they wouldn't put it out. they're making it known that they rely on investment from internet users. Other companies with proven management don't put out such releases. try reading between the lines for once.
The majority of the catastrophic recent fall was due to the nature of the gxg market and the huge head of optimism the AGM and we ourselves had built. Some of the fall was caused by or exacerbated by posters who for whatever reason chose to make completely libellous allegations against both the company and its BOD. It may prove that some of the statements issued were in pursuit of financial gain. The issuance of a false instrument for pecuniary advantage is the classic definition of fraud. I expect and hope that some if not all of those involved see custody. The RNS as well as being a confirmation from our CEO that he stands by his word on the results so far goes a long way to establishing the credibility of the company as to engage in such litigation is such a firm and forthright manner would be the actions of madmen if the legitimacy of the company reporting and claims were in any way on doubt. I commend the board on these actions and hope to be notified in a future RNS of the imprisonment of several of the worst offenders.
Surely a "proper" RNS is one that gives holders info on how the company is doing, not about comments on a BB. This just appears to be following down the same route that HAWK went.

everyone seems to be on their best manners.......lets all do brunch.....i'll bring my best fine bone.....china that is. Bet this gets pulled now.....post that is A proper RNS yesterday. BM is not toothless and will now be expected to leave his earlier comments, unchallengeable. So it looks good for us holders that he is willing to back up his comments.
Morning to all you champagne people. Well we can all afford it when the the news arrives.I think £50 a bottle will be equal to only 1 share. LOL
awaiting the next bit of news. Crew and passengers of the good ship USOP pulled together and got through stormy waters. Calm seas and blue skies on the horizon? FOR US,.............. I think so! GLUCK everyone, well nearly everyone!
Lets hope a lesson has been learnt .... The information in the RNS was correct ... just put the wrong way round ... Think about the positives now and hopefully your anger like many others will be eased ....
What we have in the ground is what we have in the ground ( plenty in my view) . Poor PR isn't going to change the outcome one bit. The eventual take-over value of the Company will be based on the amount of recoverable oil in the ground and it's flow rate and quality...not its PR capabilities. Anyway...one poorly written RNS should not have had the effect on the SP that it did....other spurious actions were responsible.
