Just listened again, worryingly, he says he wants "both of you" to prove the gas is adequate.
Hopefully he meant "either of you" and Sekaname timings won't hold us up.
"I promise you" .... sweet music.

OMG! Just found who posted this gem! Insert Victor Meldrew famous catchphrase.
So ironical, it was maybe meant as a derogatory post and it is dubious that the poster , true to form , never listened.
Whatever the truth, a huge thank you to Donkey for finding it. I think it is the one of reasons TG started smiling? The other is #3 and #4 looking good! And both have flares to prove it.
Who'd have thought my confidence was inadvertently started by Donkey :))

To see this aged thread, whose importance cannot be stressed enough, use REPLY even if you have no intention of replying!
An earlier posts tries to help you understand the indistinct words.

-7m to -5.27m is the bit!!!!!
It answers every doubt on here - and must be understood to head off the posts that irritate me beyond belief!
rammed & adequate tlou & sekaname are all indistinct words. Hope this helps you understand my confidence?

The timing of the PPA is totally explained.

We just need commercial rates - fingers crossed!

Pinched from ADVFN ,
Presented in English (which cannot be his main language), so skip to CBM at 7min 10s in imho .... it seems clear we are all keen to get the gas flow rates?"

Please watch this from -7 minutes from then end and take in what he is saying forever!
It has taken me hours to find it because I could not think it might be on facebook.
In the end I got it from 'history' and filter on minister - my search engine needed a magic word that I never found!
gas flow rates? rammed? - should have thought of one of them!
It was on my Dad's birthday too - but I'll forgive myself there.

Don't give up listening until you hear the question mark about gas assertions (TLOU and his ministry officials) and how CBM will be all systems go once he has proof there is gas! It is hard to make out his words but they are clear as bell!

I have quoted these figures so often they occupy the dozen brain cells I have. We expected seams of 5m from Rio Tinto records (they were looking for oil) and focus switched from Dakota to Yorkshire when proving the seams revealed they were actually 22m! Is that the length of a cricket wicket/pitch/whatever it is called? Yorkshire revolves around cricket?

Given exchanges around the world all dived yesterday, I thought TLOU held up pretty well on share price.
8.9c down to 8.7c 5p to 4.9p
2.31 AUD dividend , not pounds of course.

Same old chatroom , I post to break the silence and someone posts while I am typing.
Sorry folks!

Whizzer the AGM is coming soon, let's hope they are holding fire (hot news) to give out then.

Well on the Botswanan front!
I have had an interesting episode with my beloved IG account.
Back in July I traded some CBA shares to buy TLOU.
I have been downloading my full history with them into spreadsheets, and my trade history was wrong thought my full activity sheet was correct!
I contacted them to say they were showing I still owned shares that I had sold, but only on their trade sheet.
They dubiously said that was because it had not settled yet! I left it there!
The trade did not appear after it was settled until recently when they sold that number of shares and put through manual transactions to correct my position. Messy but my downloads were now fine.

CBA paid a divi of £2.31 on 26th September and in the UK I received the dividend in my bank, converted to sterling, as usual from their paper sharestore! IG nothing! After a few days I contacted IG and they said it was down to their broker, it would come eventually.
It arrived this morning and the dividend text shows the dividend was for my true holding on record day PLUS the shares they thought I owned but did not!
Sounds good but the amount was only for the true number! Boo!
In our online chatroom I told them the true number - I reckon CBA paid them the full sum and they adjusted what I received manually. If I'd not told them the actual number, would I have got the lot?
I cannot see how they messed up, so they must have had a crash on the overnight batch run if they work in the same way my old banking system did. That just stores all the transactions during open hours. Overnight those transactions are applied to the master files (account files) and if the system crashes the masters can be reloaded and the batch restarted! We had maybe 30 sites across Europe and Asia running batches! Happy days, I was on call to them all overnight and overnight support paid £100 per night (5pm to 9 am) on top my London salary whether there was a call or not! I used to play darts and go to pub quizzes for £500 per week :O)

Had to stay reasonably sober mind so I could home or into the office to support them. Computer operators in Italy, Poland, Uzbec, Hungary and several other countries all had to speak English to me! Sounds incredible, but that was the least of the problems! Big respect for those guys. The programs used to run under an interpretter so I could access the code as line numbers and say "goto line number" - usually we'd ignore the current record and go to the next, having printed off the transaction number etc for their business analysts to sort out in the morning!
Fortunately I never had two banks crash at the same time , and I'd get maybe a couple of calls per month.
Once we went to C and C++ executables , we'd have to recompile the program that failed and run it in debug mode!
I cannot have worked overnight on those sites cos I cannot see a simple solution except restore files and run the whole batch again. The revamp to C++ broke the business - no new sales!

If you have a poster on here who posts on one stock alone, his joining date on LSE is very likely to be the date they bought in.

DD joined in June 2017 when price was over 30p by a good bit!
It explains a lot - his timing was superb! Ha bloody ha!

This is he! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Dastardly

Cue a joke about Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, World champion 100m champion sprinter by miles - the Fraser Price we are used to ain't that good of late - but we await the starter pistol's second shot - signifying a false start? But are we disqualified from the restart?

Dan, a pipe dream would be an area that looks like a dog walking field - have you looked at the sites?
Th e Express reporter said it is awesome , an awesome pipe dream? Is that a bit like a useless world record in sport?

If you wonder what Poppy is like, she is the first image , top-left corner, on this link!
Beautiful painting by a recommended artist , here in Dorset!

Yep! A good day a whole grand off my losses.
And I found Downton Abbey free on 23movies!
Thought it was in arabic when arabic writing appeared but that was the advertising!
I thought the focus was rubbish , but watched it through merely because my lovely missus always watched it. It is a lady's programme I think. At one point there was a joke and I heard women laughing! It was shot in a cinema I am sure, probably America , because the jokes has a american connection. I was waiting for someone to walk across the screen to go to the loo but was spared that. :O)

First day of dog friendly beach at Sandbanks for off-peak period - Poppy loves it doen there!
Cheers! Isn't life a beach? Not today though.

"It’s why most people lose money- they jump in at the deep end, emotionally invested in the story, and not invested in the financials."

He is joking isn't he?
This might be true for a few newbies but it is most certainly tripe for those of us who were invested before planning permission!
I doubt any of us jumped in at the deep-end , I started in a paddling pool, progressed to the the shallow end, and once we got permission I put my chin below water! That is probably a familiar story to mant LLTHs.

Why wouldn't ICL go for an extended licence?
Imagine having to tell their shareholders that their main opponent was on the ropes but they'd let their licence lapse so no polysulphate producers are left world-wide?

Is this pure coincidence? Sirius or SM and Sirius XM might confuse all these newbies :O)

"NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Sirius XM (SIRI - Get Report) continued to rise Wednesday after the satellite radio company reported a 5% subscription increase in its second-quarter earnings results.

Sirius XM reported net income of $120 million, or 2 cents per diluted share, and a 10% year-over-year revenue increase to $1.04 billion. Analysts had expected earnings of 2 cents a share on revenue of $1.02 billion.

The stock was up 2.06% to $3.47 at 3:41 p.m. More than 56.7 million shares had changed hands, compared to the average volume of 48,199,800. "

Chuk lesedi #3 and #4 are expected to provide enough gas to power our first generator of 1Mw or 2Mw , depending on the flow.
They must have good reasons for going to Mamba next , good seismics perhaps. Or mybe they just want to compare wells on each site to see which is most cost effective for number 3? Or maybe they'll try Boosmlang to compare all 3?

Leaving Lesedi free of interference for the installation of a generator or two makes sense as well.
I'm sure TG has excellent reasons.

TLOU look keen to get into Mamba which is royalty free. Lesedi gas is liable for a minimum of 3% ,or 12.5% if the gas is used to generate income.
I kid myself they kept the drill available for a 3rd well until they decided it was unlikely to be needed, and would be better utilised at Mamba. It seems likely that adding a third well would interfere with progress on the other 2 wells - shutdowns , workers getting in each other's way etc..
Don't know how many teams we have or whether they come from our staff or one or more contractors. Keeping them separate makes sense from an admin point of view too, saves disputes over hours worked, material costs etc that could happen?

If there is good or bad news in the wings would you issue that news via an RNS prior to the AGM or keep it for the AGM?
I would not want to risk a riot at an AGM by breaking bad news personally, but good news would make it a happy occasion?
If the final results on gas flow rates are still unavailable at the AGM I guess we'll get up, down or unchanged status which will be good pointer to the outcome? Doing the ostrich trick does look attractive BTS. Time for my drugs - to pick me up - and a dog walk to let me down.

triggered even more automatic buys. All this conspiracy theory tripe is daft!
Everybody knew it was oversold but everybody wondered if maybe it was not?
It depends how much faith you have in CF's word I guess.
LTH have seen darker days pre-planning permission day - but CF's judgement has prevailed until recently.
Who can be certain if his run is at an end? Only wet behind the ears poster seem to know that!

40% of sfa is not much more than sfa but it is welcome as a start.
