My beautiful wife of 47 years died 20th Sept 2018 , and it has just been me and Poppy ever since.
I had the aneurism on February 22nd 2019 and only got out of hospital after ICU , blood transfusions x 4, and resuscitation after my first physio, just swinging my legs over the side of the bed, to sit upright. I apparently stopped breathing for 90 seconds.

I had to buy a mobility scooter to take Poppy out or waste money and lose the benefit of having her by paying for a dog walker. I had to trade my car to buy a van that would carry the scooter to shops, and a choice of dog walks.

Then Covid came along and lockdown meant I could not have visitors (other than nurses) so I have hardly been out.

A lot of people know most of that!
You are exceptional! Too busy ****ging off the board to notice life and death around you!

So stick a feather somewhere on your person and gloat that you are right - cashew nut!

Whizzer and Moagi could make a new film, they have all the attributes - Jaws , nothing to say worth listening to, and amonst the biggest mouths in the oceans! I'm busy writing a Sudoko solver , far more challenging thatn those couple of Oiks or are they Orcas? They have made a witticism between just moan moan moan on whizzer's side and lie lie lie on Moagi's!

If Da Vinci had not beat them to it, they have ingredients for the Moaner Liesa , both are daft as brushes :O) , very handy!

I guess when LSE review "reported posts" they can see what was there originally whilst we have asterisk.
Your post referring to "bots companies" has disappeared and included many asterisks - thanks to whoever reported it because it was a very unpleasant post - and LSE obviously agreed.

I wish you'd talked about covid rather than bots companies Whizzer.
It would have saved me reading hundreds of your posts last night.
You use the word covid very sparingly, as can be seen below.

Used mainly to ask me to ignore it's impact or using it as an excuse. I fear for our staff's well-being and so do they no doubt.
In Brisbane they don't feel safe, so what it is like in southern Africa , lord knows!

Survival is the name of the game in everything connected to TLOU (staff, shareholders and all 4 business opportunities, raw gas, cbm power, solar power and hydrogen related stuff, and at no time have I had cause to worry on any of them.

In the current climate this is to be applauded - having 14 quarters before ASX challenge our membership again (if no funding appears in the intervening period) is the work of a genius imho.

OK quite a few quarters will disappear if they pay our contractors something in advance for poles/wires but frugal TG is master of the ship , and while he is at the helm I think it is plain sailing. Covid lockdown has to be circumvented at some stage. Danny Horne's presence fills me with hope , GG is a politician more than a hands on engineer so my expectations of GG haven't been high.

Stop using covid as an excuse for lack of progress!!!!

RE: Web site Monday 14 Jun 2021 14:21
Brad, colm said that they had sourced the long lead items in an interview along time ago, I’m sure it was from another job that didn’t happen. If I am mistaken on that fact then the company have had all of last year and half of this year to source the materials needed because they have done little else in that time, so the materials and prices should have been sorted way before the came looking for the funds IMO!
And once work starts on the poles and wires they have gg in country to manage it while restrictions continue!
Please stop using COVID as an excuse for the company’s poor performance!

Brad Monday 23 Nov 2020 12:33
You keep on using this corona virus as an excuse for the company not getting anywhere, yes it might have slowed things but make no mistake tlou were woeful way before COVID had even made an appearance. Take the flow rates for example, drilled way before we knew about COVID and can you tell me what the rates are now?
Talks have been on going so long for finance also, what are the timelines for this to be resolved? We all know this was meant to have been sorted a few months before COVID! Investors are so short of information here it’s a joke!!

RE: What's going on Sunday 13 Sep 2020 13:19
For gods sake brad stop using Covid as an excuse! I was talking with a doctor friend and he said he wouldn’t be taking a vaccine if they had one because you normally have to go through about 5 years of testing before they make it avail even for people to use. So fast tracking one when you dont know the side effects it has is

I thought we were talking about my belief that you and moagi were claiming other companies were getting things done, and implying or stating quite plainly that TG was incapable of doing the same.

I'll leave it there, we all know how you feel about TG and Colm , and that you therefore think there are better people out there. And everyone knows that I disagree 100%

At least this post will record todays gain from 3.2 to 3.35p in the first hour of trading.

Good luck to them, as long as colm clueless isn’t trying to obtain the funding for them they should get on fine!"

I owe you a sincere apology Whizzer. I am having great difficulty finding evidence that you poo pooed the effects of covid.
I hadn't realised how narrow minded your posts are -
All through the RFP fiasco (retendering) you wanted progress
All through the dewatering delay ditto
And now all through covid , the same again.

Nearly every set of queries hit 75% of your posts - too much to read.
I thought of Mozambique and Shumba to produce the two that I have , and they are not overt comparisons of our board and other boards to be fair.

I think you are unreasonably expecting TG and Colm to turn water into wine! But they have Danny Horne in situ now , so gingers crossed we'll start to hear about progress soon.
Your exasperation came across very clearly as time has passed. The bad language increasing with time.

TG and Colm will come good - I'm sure of it.

RE: Mozambique showing the way to progress major projects Tuesday 15 Jun 2021 11:20
So Mozambique have given the green light and acquired the funding needed to progress that project! $1 billion!!!!
While our bunch of clowns can’t even get $10 million needed for our first phase!!
Something must have gone wrong here that we are not being told about, I think we have had a fall out with the government or the like and that is part of the reason this is a non starter!
Our lot are just laughing as they sit behind their desks twiddling their fingers counting the money we keep on paying them for doing jack sh@£

Moagi, you haven't realised how our spat over years has affected the sp for TLOU. Or was that the intention?
Each bit of good news item has been greeted by your doubts about their truth , newbies don't know what a prat you are, having heard about TLOU for the first time, and move on to another board where good news is welcome.

If you watched Panorama last night and saw David Cameron being exonerated by all and sundry for what appeared to me to heinous dealings with Greensill , you must feel like emigrating?

Your link shows Botswana cannot get hold of vaccine despite being prepared to pay way over the odds for it. But you and Whizzer have consistently said business in Botswana for other companies is not affected by Covid so I'm unsure what point that article is making for you! It flies in the face of the number of published deaths which could be counted using fingers whilst much of the world was counting in thousands per day.

I look at the obvious , and TLOU's state of limbo falls into that category!
At least I have said that consistently over the whole covid era! This was my day 1 references to vaccine.

Wednesday 25 Mar 2020 16:40
I'd like to think the discrepancy is all down to TLOU i.e. 10Mw of CBM, and 20Mw of Solar power ..... and 2 years might be very feasible if they discover a vaccine for Coronavirus - probably THE research project of the century

Wednesday 25 Mar 2020 16:55
Imho by the time they reach 93Mw we'll have been operational for a long while and won't be far behind if we are behind at all. All subject to that vaccine allowing anything to progress ( or Botswana shutting it out - unlikely I'd guess).

Friday 27 Mar 2020 10:23
DTE , why 12 months? It is all about survival, the period is a total unknown.
Once there is a vaccine it is going to take a long time to bring it online across the globe.

and this one shows there is no love affair with MM. Our optimism on hydrogen brought us together (Strong Buy agreement). If SYN and TLOU can both work through lockdown I cannot see any of shackles we've have so far , and no imponderables!
The only possible problem raised on here is "Is there a market for the Hydrogen and Carbon"?
Once it is on a cargo plane (probably no domestic market?) the world is our oyster!

Wednesday 05 Aug 2020 08:37
It is the lemmings amongst us that are allowing these low prices , MM's ramps help them to jump.
"Strong buy" suggests a quick profit in my book , unlikely to be quick until a Covid vaccine is found! So he is creating disappointment of course, and more lemmings.

Using 5 parties with views on Tlou plus his analogy of MM and me as wingmen ......

TG is the pilot of the plane.
MM and I are the wings , both TG’s wingmen , despite pointing in opposite directions. We are going in the same direction as our pilot.

The last 2 are Moagi and the the appropriately named Whizzer!

They are the twin jet engines.
Both influence TG’s progress - the more active they are , the faster they go in the wrong direction but the sooner we arrive at our destination.
They also increase the gas flows and the atmospheric pollution.

Whenever the pilot turns, Mm and I move in opposite directions , up and down with the pilot remaining smack in the middle of us.

I hope a similar post was actually lost when I logged in and out. I logged out when the first did not appear - that usually show my latest post if it is stuck in LSE carousel! Nothing came up and I’d lost wifi - apologies if both posts appear!

MM I won’t be offended if you respond to Moagi in a derogatory manner. We have the same goal but have rarely been in the same half of the pitch :0)

We do however have similar views on the potential of hydrogen - and maybe a similar hope that we have not heard the last about Aliko?

Moron, of course CBM is our main target - if CBM did not matter why would we be based in Lesedi!
But how does that preclude a foray into a hydrogen pilot study/assessment!
That hydrogem pilot could easily be ready before the tx lines are ready! And what use is the cbm power until then ?
Abandoning an unsuccessful hydrogen trial, and sending our first power to Serowe on time looks entirely feasible a moi!

But I'm expecting there to be extra wells by that time, for hydrogen to be a success - and for both to progress in parallel.

You twaddled on about 100Mw - how many expansions is that along the road you ********.
By the time we reach 100MW of CBM power, I reckon we'll have Solar on the go, two forms of hydrogen , and maybe even the first wells at Mamba preparing to supply Orapa!

Isn't this illiterate .... "If the 2MW PPA with BPC meant anything if consequence and relevance Why did your hero say in his Proactive interview that gas to power was the mainstream strategy for the company"

I defy anybody to make sense of that! Taking it from WHY, I fail to how the mainstream activity puts an end to any sidelines! Especially cheap short term projects as intended for SYN!
A generator needs to be installed whether SYN or Serowe need the power!

Selemo use of flared gas was achieved in a matter of weeks once the decision was made!
Lesedi should not take much longer.

I logged out so it was more difficult to post in haste! The downside is I can see my filtered posts ....

Olympics are virtually over - time to restart the garden as Bob suggested!
It'll be quicker if I imagine all the weeds I have to attack are Moagi the Moron.

I did not intend to post but I think this link explains a lot more than most.

As well as PPA background please follow the links to IPP related stuff.

https://www.esi-africa.com/industry-sectors/finance-and-policy/tlou-energy-and-botswana-power-corporation-execute-a-pilot-ppa/

It was up to 2MW - power from the gas we are flaring ( a la Selemo - proven) so achievable with a high level of confidence!

I tried to make that clear first time round. How does fail?

We have ear-marked that power for use by Syn in their potential pilot hydrogen study. So duplicating what we did 5 years ago looks easy for Tlou and we are relying upon Syn doing their part.

No wonder people are not as excited as MM and me! There does not seem to be enough understanding if what Tlou are doing.

You are right Bob, and I am trying to control probably 100 yards of laurel and beech hedges and brambles etc..
Sciatica after a few minutes makes it tricky. I paid £200 in July to have a couple of feet taken off one 10-15ft high laurel stretch, too dangerous to go up a ladder with nobody stabilising it! A couple of days ago another guy called in and offered to do it again , plus the front laurel , plus the overgrown raised garden beds - now 5ft brambles - for £300.
You can see why I am desperate for TLOU to succeed :O)

mfm, I agree with your summation on moagi!
It is sod all to do with local or any other politics!

I cannot see how the Govt can agree a PPA for 10Mw until dewatering is completed, or the gas flows are sufficient to support 10Mw!

They gave us a PPA for up to 2Mw which is what we prefer to use on hydrogen.

That could be very fortuitous as it has turned out. Did TG not get excited about the 2Mw PPA because he was working on the hydrogen possibilities?
I don't know, but I would not bet against it.

I'll leave it there , remove LSE as my home page , and see how long I can leave you all to it.

I have some strimming, brush-cutting, hedge trimming and chain sawing to do!
My garden bin isn't go to be big enough - the lawn mowings fill it on their own!

I love the modern pentathlon final run and shoot phase! Cmon Choong!

Yawl are gonna love the irony here.

ADVFN was where my romance with Donkey started.
I left and that site eventually died.

They number posts so this gives an idea how quiet it is ....

1 Jun '21 - 01:26 - 9057 of 9070
So 13 posts through June, July and August to date!

It will happen here if TLOU do not inspire posters with news. And once they do post something, precious few will be looking here for it!
I loathe refreshing a site view to see the same weary posts every day, so to keep google happy I'd post anything so it changes!

If you are into search apps you'll know they like dynamic pages and ignore dormant pages.

The good news is moagi stopped posting on ADVFN and moved over here!
Perhaps he'll move back if I test my theory on here.

Time to find out how to get alerts when there is an rns. I hope MM can stimulate this board but you'll see.

When moagi tells everyone how stupid someone is and it is untrue I’d expect retaliation to make third parties question moagi’s claim.

I am equally happy to be corrected or filtered.
I was allowed to believe a 2MW PPA was due for maybe a year - very annoying - and a total surprise when Appi put me right.

With petrol at a motorway services reaching £1.51 and diesel £1.56 it makes a hydrogen facility look even more attractive.

The football season is close so I am going to have a life starting with k.o. against WBA

UP THE CHERRIES IN ALL DEPARTMENTS!

Candide of course because you did not know that.

I am happy being a Pangloss , I hope you are just as miserable being the antonym.

We both have no life given you have kept this thread going all day. I’ll admit to writing tat if you admit to being being the tit! T4t if you did not get that! I’m going to filter you, please filter me and benefit from having just 1 green line per post because I merge everything instead of sending 1 post per thought!

Bet you haven’t read Csndide - and that is not what is done to a toffee apple. I have had enough of your whinging and your your instead of you’re for how many years? Some people never learn!

It is until somebody posts stuff worth reading.
You have created a whole thread without offering anything factual about Tlou.

As long as TG is unfairly criticised I will keep on repeating my defence of him unless somebody else arrives and puts up a counter argument.

Without me this would become the Whinger and Moron board. I have explained why I do this - I think it is safe to say nobody understands why you and moagi never give credit to the boss!

I see moagi has risen to a HOLD opinion.
Given the context of his posts I wonder why.

I am left wondering if you actually believe I was at the vets? How sad is that?

Just got back from the vet!

What is the problem , he asked? And where is Poppy?

I told him it was not Poppy that had the problem!
A total geni-ass going by the name Donkey, has told the world that I am a sheep but I am producing BS which hurts and causes me strain!

Don’t worry said the vet - he is not a donkey - he is not that bright - he cannot tell his ass from his elbow! Ask him if he is suffering from dire ear!
Sht for brains goes along with his confusion!

I have slept through the athletics and most of the women’s football final - saw the modern pentathlon though. Heartbreaking and heartlifting!

A german girl went from clear leader to almost last because she was allocated a Donkey in the show jumping phase. It was stubborn as mule and kept reversing instead if going forward. Not joking. She was distraught but finally got it moving and jumping before it refused and she was eliminated!

The same horse scored zero out of 300 for a Mexican earlier . They should have been given a second horse and a second chance imho.

And then there was the final run and shooting over 3 laps which ended well. It might make the news!

Is either of donkey’s posts interesting or relevant?
Or is it more irrelevant bad news from a manic depressive?
