I'm going gaga...Dragon late 90s...DES about 2005.

Late 90s...DES. The death of Phipps Snr. (RIP) resulted in us sticking the drill in everywhere OTHER than where there was oil. He could smell it.

Smoggy: 100% correct.

Of just over 22p....can't believe how close in such a small timeframe.

Something has to be afoot?

Surely if a new partner came in as the operator (rather than financial)...a new FEED/EIS etc would be required?

Dragon...my first share!

Totally agree Frogga...understand regarding those who just want to make a quick buck - but this is my one emotional investment.

I'm not "wrong again".

Only a moron would think ONE person is responsible for:

1. The poor sp performance of RKH and/or;

2. The decisions of grown men to buy or sell a share.

Godders got slaughtered for suggesting he didn't believe FiD wouldn't happen by CoP 24.

The VAST majority said it would.

Now we still might get FiD in next 6 weeks...and I'll be beyond chuffed if we do.

But now we're seeing "or in next 6 months" someone yesterday said "25"!!!

FFS...the hypocrisy on here is breathtaking.

Seen them all come and go.

Jcb: exactly - it wasn't worth their while fighting it in court - they knew they'd lose. I'm sure we all support the independence of the Judiciary in our democracy - but i have a real problem in the inevitability of a Judge deciding cases when their old mates/ex-partners are facing them in court asking for £thousands/£millions to be handed out and the guarantee of their huge fees.

What possible motive would have judges (deciding cases on behalf of their old friends/partners) have to continue the legal gravy train in such cases?

The real scandal in PPI was the £billions paid out to people who were ASKED (i was asked a few times - and being an intelligent adult refused the offer) did they want cover who will have answered "yes" - but ended up getting thousands back. Legal profession is full of fee gathering @%$$$.

Good question...

Excellent post...

"Watch the rest of this week, most likely end up where we started yesterday....."!!!!!!!! QED

7% down on great news...and posters are celebrating. Bizarre.

I'll tell what language I'd expect to hear eg:

"We're moving very shortly towards an exciting future that will ensure the financial security of many generations of islanders"

I certainly don't expect to hear:

"Whether or not"! if we're on the verge of FID.

Listen...I'm desperate for this to get the big FID by the end of the year, but I've seen such certainty turn into heartache before.

"whether or not we have a hydrocarbon industry"....i must be missing something here - how, exactly, is that positive? At this stage I'm aghast to hear such ambivalence. Listen - i'll be delighted if you can tell me what i've missed here, but how is that positive?

I mentioned a while ago that if FIG/The Falkland's populace didn't want an oil industry...they should have decided that two decades ago. Obviously - circumstances can change, but i nearly choked when i heard the above.

My God...I wish I had a nicker for every "great buying opportunity" post I've read over the years - wouldn't need these shares now if I had.

G1/Galileo/Oil Brat/Marlon Monkey - seen them all come and go.

In til the end.

Let's all wait til then...

Navitas have not told us anything different.

There were numerous posters who slaughtered Godders cos he dared to say he didn't believe FID would be made by that date. So let's wait and see.

I acknowledge he can be a whopper at times - but so can some of the rampers.

I'd also add ANYONE who buys or sells on something they've read on here is bleed.ing bonkers. To suggest they are manipulating the sp is laughable!

67Sam:

that's why i said "historical".

I left 10 years ago - At that time initial grants totalled c.30% (and our staff ALWAYS gave the claimant the benefit of the doubt). Virtually all refused immediately put in an appeal - regardless of how poor their claim was. Untrustworthy financially/politically motivated solicitors pushed them.

FASs were almost impossible to remove as they ALL destroy their papers prior to arrival.

The reasons present "allowed" numbers have risen is due to a number of factors ie. Syria/Afghanistan and senior managers will be wanting to push throw the backlog - so grants will rise cos that's the quickest way to get through he numbers is to allow the claim!!!!

One very important footnote that is ignored by the Metropolitan liberal media for obvious reasons....guess what the FIRST thing granted claimants do after receiving their landing status?

They apply for travel papers so they can go and visit the very place they are escaping!

The liberals have won. The West has gone. The very make-up of our society is changing in front of us. The area i live in has changed dramatically in 12/18 months.

99% of the liberals who have forced this change upon us live nowhere near such areas, they are not effected by this huge social policy/change we are experiencing they will be in the very near future.

Net LEGAL immigration over the last two years has numbered 1.5 MILLION.

That means compared to two years ago - tonight the UK needs 5 new "Coventry's" just to house those people.

Insanity.
