The saddest bit of your post is thinking 6p to 10p would be a success?
15p would be damage limitation for most people?
You should sell if that range satisfies you - but please don't call it a success.

I hear Nigel Farage will not stand for election, preferring to help his party members' campaigns.
So we'd go from a leader with few supportive members. to supportive members without a leader :O)
Very puzzling decision - perhaps he is frightened of bursting his bubble so Trump can see he is not as MARVELlous as he thinks, whilst remaining a COMICal character?
Good match on TV - Needing 150 White hit 134 to leave 8's - Noppert needed 102 hit 60 + 2 + tops!
Bit chicken imho , single 2 instead of double 1? :O)
While I am rambling, on the Blandford to Poole road there was a haunch of venison at the roadside?
Just the one with a Tiger bite size missing from the thigh? I wonder what the story was there?

Where's the light switch?
Whatsortofatunnelisthis - looks like Welsh?

The face to face conference was too early, lmao!

I wondered if TG will still be talking about dewatering then Cliff :O)

JAL, I am first generation , HND in Maths, Stats and Computing , from 1967-1969 , the first computer course at degree or equivalent ( 2 yrs of 35 weeks, instead of 3 of 30 weeks) . Only 3 started in that year , in Plymouth, Leicester and maybe in Scotland, possibly Strathclyde ?
Marconi took me for a position which required a degree which was brave. I can safely say I have forgotten more than I know now :O( 2 out of 3 ain't bad from a meatloaf (if you listen to advfn).

I reverse the time sequence which made it worthwhile on its own!

NoEasy, totally understand your logic but don't understand why you come to the conclusion that no one party can fulfill the power demand.

Afterall Sekaname has already been awarded a contract for a conversion via KSE (Karoo Sustainable Energy)

Orapa seemed to come on stream many years late burning coal and again the conversion to gas is already well overdue but presumably still ongoing.
I found this information some time ago from Botswana newspapers, but can't find the link again, if I find it I will post.

Still don't understand why a poster thinks that TLOU cannot fulfill the 'power demand' whatever that expression means.

Lekka this may give you a better indication but very old article. Not sure if the link will work.
(Replace xx with tt)
hxxp://www.energyforecastonline.co.za/articles/kse-wins-award-2861.html

Anything that I have read indicates that the gas is not working and I have no information if the project is alive or still being worked on.

This indicates to me that Sekaname has not delivered in the past.

Sorry Whizzer but it sounds as if you have never worked on contracts on the African continent. You possibly should have researched a little better. These timescales are not in the boards control.
I hate being patient myself but thats whats needed.

Do you still believe that there is enough gas for the generation that TLOU is aiming at.

Search Is now complete

Zippy. Visual Studio is the development tool.
It produces whatever you want - so I created a form (webpage) , and the code behind it using just VS.
From there I requested it produce a .exe file for me.

Run the exe and the form pops up, it including the Webbrowser object.
,The screen choices and the coding determines which sites, pages or filtered content to display.

To produce this I
1. entered "Studio" in my search string textbox,
2. clicked on "tlou" in a listbox of selected companies from ADVFN and LSE, and
3. clicked the "Search LSE by company" option , to get get this in a format with highlighted word "Studio" and other html which LSE rightly strips out.

The default of 5 pages sufficed , could change it up or down, and from which page to start, which defaults to 1!
AND NOW I SEE JUSTALEARNER ANSWERED ALREADY :o)

What a waste of time Thu 16:49
I am using Visual Studio to develop my program and somehow the source code editor reduced my code to nearly invisible.
Using ctrl/z and y wiould not clear it and I have undone my work today after ignoring warnings I could lose amendments permanently. Making the font size 24 which is HUGE was too difficult to work with!

I now know what happened - so if it ever happens to you, you'll know how to get back to normal!

My slippery laptop started sliding off my knee while I was working, and I grabbed it for obvious reasons!
I must have been squeezing the bottom left key - the ctrl key!
Pressing ctrl whilst spinning the mouse wheel is how Visual studio zooms in or out!

You can test it on this post - it works here too.

Use visual studio all the time for websites nowadays Brad. Great program with good extensions. Could do with the tabs wrapping though when using the side by side view.

I know that its off topic but how is Visual Studio better than a browser, and can non pc expert use it.

Visual Studio is design software for creating the content you see in a browser.

What a silly title!

This feature is the best thing since a whole loaf of bread!
The number of times I change displays to 133% and more to be able to read them! And then set it back for a different page!

This seems to be a Windows 10 feature ..... I hope at least one of you did not know about it? I could be the only one who did not :O(

PuntingP, I think you almost have the perfect solution.
Tunnel out of the park , like the Great Escape , and then surface where we can meet up with HS2!
Just think, after hours of loading the trucks, we could save 20 seconds on a high speed train to Redcar.
It will only cost 10 billion to extend HS2 via Redcar but money is no object for HS2.

North and South is all things to all men.
I had a spell in Bradford where a colleague was from Birmingham.
He considered us to be the two Southerners :O)
Never had the nerve to tell him what I thought about that!

My MP has not come back to me, he's a Tory.
His predecsssor was Lib Dem, retired at last election, bless her.
Though not a Lib Dem supporter I always voted for her.
I once emailed her at 3am in the morning, and my inbox shwed she replied by 8am the same day.

I see Brexit are not aiming to target certain Tory seats, my MP had better hope ours is one!

My hope is the North does turn blue (from something other than cold) and the blue members try to make an impact on the locals to reassure them on their choice. What better than to get the powerhouse up and running? And what part of it is better than Sirius?

I live near the sea but until now did not think I was gullible .
The dick who started this is probably sound asleep having a wet dream.

It was a typo Scot , k for an s?

Yuri, is your loop in the same place as mine? Behind the ears and under the chin?
Just waiting for the chairman to kick it :O)

Why is it I can remember events from 1959 and 1965 fairly clearly, but I cannot remember if J Root is Jonathan (my answer on Pointless yesterday) or Joe? People say our lives are really just a load of memories - so I am still a bloody teenager :O)

BTS, you left a comma out . You might say "Brad, the intelligent says this is not going to plan."
They are right, no sarcasm intended.
It is not going to plan quite clearly.

We don't agree why. I think because there was more water than expected - potentially good news if better gas flows in the future are the result.
Others believe the gas just refuses to flow.

We have certified amounts of gas aplenty , so it must be Yorkshire gas (rather than European) and it wants to stay in God's own country, if that is the case.

imho, if gas flows with lots of water in situ, why won't it flow when that water is gone?
We both hope I am right I think? Harmony?

The information on the web is amazing .... The first horse was Operatic Society and it certainly was not a sprint :o)
No more racing stories today, I promise.

+++++++

JOHN BENSTEAD, who announced his retirement earlier this month, had been training for 44 years but his best horse, Operatic Society, came very early in his career.

Indeed, Benstead was gaining his very first success on the Flat when Operatic Society won the Manchester November Handicap in 1959.

Operatic Society, one of the horses the trainer had just taken over on the death of Peter Thrale, charged the tapes and unseated his rider at Manchester, and then cantered a mile before being caught.

None the worse for those exertions, he proceeded to take the big prize in a huge field of 49.

+++++++
The November Handicap is a flat handicap horse race in Great Britain open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Doncaster over a distance of 1 mile 3 furlongs and 197 yards (2,393 metres), and it is scheduled to take place each year in early November.

The event was originally held at the New Barns, Manchester, where it was called the Manchester November Handicap. It was established in 1876, and was initially run over 1 mile and 4 furlongs before contested over 1 mile and 6 furlongs in 1880. It was cut to its present length in 1902 when the race was re-located to the Castle Irwell course.

Good Lord, would you believe it? I found this on the race which was 54 years ago? Not me m'lud!

Runs in the first at Catterick. I first became interested in racing when I backed it to win the Winsor Castle at Royal Ascot in 1965 it was 8/1. Now Sky Gypsy was a typical early season 2yr old who ran up a long sequence of wins in minor races often at odds on and every other day/week (dosent happen these days). To this complete novice I could not believe this horse with multiple wins was due to go off at such a generous price. Of course I was unaware of the giant step up in class. After it won I thought the game was easy. Happy naïve days.

Just remembered Sky Gypsy at one of the big festivals.
It had won maybe 8 races from 8 as a two year old, and was 6/4 fav in the papers.
I did not back favourites with my shilling bets , so I was gobsmacked when it won 9 out of 9 at 8/1

Bit like shares - buying or selling because others are for no reason?

Nice story Scott. The race I partially remember was a 6f sprint at Goodwood or York.
Roy Podmore was the rider and his horse tossed him off. That should have been memorable in itself :O)
It bolted down the track , and they all waited for it to be caught. It completed the whole 6f at speed , but Roy was reunited with and, surprisingly, was allowed to start.
It went out to 66/1, no chance? The others must have got bored stiff or summat during the delay, but Roy won the race.
