The price was higher years ago because everyone was pulling together to get new industry into business!

The mission was simply get the gas into containers and deliver them! Amd a period of 18 months looked likely to se that coe to fruition! TG had a Fiat 500 , Colm had a smart car to deliver the gas and Dell boys Reliant was being bought to boost deliveries? And them we had the fisaco over the RFP , and that 18 months became a totally different beast!

Mistrust , KE wasting everyone's time on an unrealistic plan, it all went to pot!

The mission became much more ambitious with TLOU plan to become a power house delivering electricity to homes and businesses via the Botswana National Grid. KE followed suit until they ran out of cards!

That left the joker in the pack - blooming Covid!

We are back to expecting to be earning some revenues within 18 month ate the outside. The mission is so much better with the whole of Southern Africa being connected to little ole TLOU - and people wonder why I think the price ought to match the 8p-10p of those early days??? The power house should be worth double those truck loads of cylinders - plain as day! 18 months might be reduced to Xmas 2024 when the next RNS appears. With money coming , frugal Tony will be able to make hay!!! Keeping costs to a minimum to stop too much dilution will be over! Tony and Colm will be able to make plans for a live business not an AIM start-up with an 80% chance of failure of failure!!! The source of Donkey's faeces - go with the odds! Without any justification from TLOU , he invented Civil War , Kharma coups, methane that won't burn , etc etc etc to build that 80% risk into 99% risk in his own tiny mind!!! Ignoring the fact TG had never failed in building CBM powered lectricity in Australia which reduceed the risk to maybe 25% before Covid! Suring Covid 80%+ risk was plain to see- and why I revere TG as a saint! I think he worked miracles to keep us afloat with just the Pension Fund, the Doc and a few stalwarts amongst the shareholders , who had already invested their life savings , behind him!!

If they have have knighthoods in Australia or Botswana then one is due to TG.

Arise Sir Anthony , Arise the share price , Arise the Donkey and leave your thoughts on the floor beneath you!

Ask the Doc what the risk is now! With his financial backing - I reckon somewhere north of zero % - without it - I cannot think about that option. Perhaps he should get a touch of the sword from King Charles as well?

They come from vegetables?

The only poster on here who is not invested is Donkey. Any that have sold up are almost certainly posting on the reinvestments if they have not given up on stocks entirely. We are more than half way through 2024 .....

Let him use that new toy Clue - it has taken him a decade to work out search engines , and to cut and paste - it is a novelty to be the next David Copperfield (US version) and to magic items from one place to another. Next he might master the TV remote control and start watching Wimbledon tennis, giving us a rest from the continual gree one line filter messages.

Emma Raducanu looked world class yesterday , the face of a Miss World and the tennis of a goddess, but I am biased.

Having experienced a flash storm from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, the only time my beautiful late wife showed me any sign of fear as we waited for a waterfall to subside ahead , a 2 or 3 foot deep torrent across the road that we had driven through behind , and the River Swift to the left of our small road , so turning the car around would risk falling in the river, made it two of us who were fearful. We made the turn and went through the even deeper torrent from whence we came. The water came over the bonnet of the Toyota Tercel which was a diesel and kept running with lots of revs to keep the water out of the exhaust pipe. I vowed my next car would be a Toyota and it was. That day a woman and a child were killed after their car was carried down the River Swift from attempting to cross a ford!

So much going on in this world to occupy our minds and Donkey wastes hiis time trying to preach to the converted on here! Has he not twigged we are all invested and have plenty of cheap shares? And if we ain't buying who is going to get excited outside our circle? The price will go up because it has gone up , and then there will be a torrent of buying worthy of Jamaica. All my laughable little £500 monthly buys suddenly worth a grand or more? I look forward to having the last laugh.

Completed my monthly sortie into the market and got my 3 deals @ a great priceI think.

Took 1.92 twice and expected 1.92 or more for the rest - delighted to see 1.91p for them.

Does not make much sense to me. But there was slight delay in all 3 of the fills , even on the fixed price quote.

TG you can tell us the substations are being commissioned for 5MW now mate! And the bigger generators are being ordered for the near future. Time for a song ?

Where is your bulldog spirit BTS? I'm glad you are still keeping the faith with TLOU.

As long as the troll is here there is hope imho. As long as he can find fault we must be doing things right!

Ignoring the green one liners on here and moving on to leadership!

You all know I revere TG, and think Rishi is too much of a gent!

Cannot believe what I just saw on Laura Kuenssberg , who I admire for her strength !

That Channel 4 Reform revelation has awakened a new Rishi - he has gone from being too polite, a panda perhaps, to a roaring lion , king of the jungle , and a man I would not to have an argument with.

After Trump vs Biden , the leader of the western world , I am sure Putin will have gone from lounging on his chaise longue, to sitting bolt upright! No wonder Keir Starmer declined to appear - I imagine him quaking in his boots from the new Rishi.

Reform has done its job again - I saw a PM today with the facts to hand, explained very clearly and with force.

He covered defence, green energy and taxes and Laura must have been taken aback!

I no longer want Kemi Badenoch as leader , she should be chancellor under a true party leader is he keeps up this persona. Keir wanted change - I bet he is worried about getting it - the election is going to be interesting in a few days times.

I hope Channel 4 do a documentary on TLOU - TLOU are too gentlemanly imho - maybe TG is a hidden TIGER if somene rattles hs cage hard enough 😁

😁😁😁

And success into the KO phase with clean sheets fro 3 matches?

In the absence of the impending positive news that is due to be delivered by Tlou or Southgate , I am watching for the Tories or Roshi - use my following thoughts and change the opinion polls!!

Labour are touting CHANGE and in there is rack and ruin OR a miracle if Labour turn the economy around without further debt and higher interest rates.

And Conservatives should be touting there won't be much change under them - our standard of living after 14 years of their rule is unlikely to change! With inflation back on target things may improve the economy, Ruanda might lower the number of boats, but on the downside , things are unlikely to get much worse!

The triple lock and pension allowances should keep the pensioner vote for those of us who own our own houses and are shielded from rent or mortgage rises. That is a good percentage of pensioners who have a greater expectation of very old age compared to the poorer ones who must be stressed with money worries. Will Labour make things better or worse for them? They might get more income from Labour but imho will certainly see higher outgoings from a load of rookies who have managed a country!

The reducing population of young folks are definitely hard done buy. Fewer people supporting a higher population with student loans , 20% VAT, and other taxes , and high prices are stopping them from clearing debts far less building for the future. I feel so sorry for them but will the Trades Unions do them any good? I think they are on a par with poorer pensioners.

The Tory logo should be "Better the devil you know!".

I was going to vote for Richard Tice and Reform supporters. My candidate was Reform but is now SDP for some reason.

And then Farage took over the reins and put me off Reform! How can he run with Trump and Putin at the same time?

Lord Haw Haw 2024?

Lib Dems look so woolly , and would be sheep in a hung parliament , so I only have one option for my vote.

Will Rishi use the new logo? Not a bloody hope! Why isn't Kemi Badenoch PM? Rishi is not worldly enough to think on his feet - he is too much of a gent I am afraid.

Is Russia still flaring gas?

2023 Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report

As many countries shifted away from importing Russian oil and gas in 2022, there has not been a noticeable increase in Russian flaring. Last year, gas flaring released an estimated 357 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO2e), of which 42 million tonnes CO2e was in the form of methane.29 Mar 2023

Poppy is more popular than you , Bots. And has been so for most of her 13 years.

Thank you Clue for confirming that fact.

Is Bots mission here to get his first ticked post.

BOTS , why don't you take your tunnel vision to a sensible cause - MND fund raising.

They need to understand how sufferers get it in the first place - perfect for you - you are still at that stage with TG's successes in Australia, far less what is going on in Botswana.

BTW Poppy was 13 on the 20th in case you think she is now 15 yrs old 😁

Took her on the bus to get my prescription from the GP.

Boots the chemist were closed for an hour for lunch.

How much are retailers struggling if Boots cannot afford to keep their shops open?

Took just over an hour to travel 2 miles there as the crow flies - and back. Buses go around the houses but the walk is up hill and down dale - Poppy would be ok but too strenuous for me.

Go and watch CBBC and learn something useful TO YOU. We all have to start somewhere, and you've a limited choice. The one times table?

Kenmare did a consolidation , and I think BOTS stopped posting there , so presumably got out or was pushed out?

Might explain why he is obsessed with TLOU's 1.25bn shares that he exaggerates at every opportunity.

Don't share you view on the ovt/BPC though olda.

We are in a PPA that we will honour for 2MW or 3MW. The up to 10MW may available for export to SA , but TG will stick with BPC imho.

BPC will be buying and selling on for a profit via the Grid - so I do not worry they'll renenge on payments.

It would not make sense! Rumours of them not paying are possible if they are buying at $40 and selling at $12.

TG won't be asking anywhere near $40 , and BPC will be able to afford our price for certain imho!

Beyond 3Mw (or 10MW) TLOU may well sell to the highest bidder , TG knows what he is doing, that plan was in his mind many years ago. It was a ploy to get the Govt onside in those days. Nowadays everybody is in limbo waiting for TLOU to produce the goods with little support from the Govt.

One we light Massisi's office with our electricity, I expect the Govt to start finding the cash to accelerate production at Lesedi as it will be unquestionably proven to achieve future plans.

As I look at the green post at the top of the posts on this page , I cannot help wondering who it is the target?

They never request opinions from the inferior posters because the author , in his own head , knows everything TLOU better than us all and even the CEO and the board?

So they are not here to generate conversation , or seek opinion or knowledge , so why are they here?

I'll be disappointed if the substations are not complete by now. I'd hope the generators are ordered and being delivered or even being commissioned. I cannot believe how quickly time flies I have not seen my daughter or grand kids for 6 years come October 10th (Liz's funeral). I have postponed making a legal will but it is time to bite the bullet to make sure the house, TLOU shares and Liz's savings go where they are deserved.

I thought my daughter loved Poppy and would want her if I departed. My youngest son bought her and will hopefully want to look after her. She is 13 a week today - and is still very active for her age but the day will come where she needs vet bills to survive.

Good to see TB is still around , but nobody with a brain will sell up now surely? Off with my shopping trolley on the bus to Poole for a haircut and some food and drink. It will be quite heavy with the latter I expect and might need a second trip soon. Not had another black out since those 2 on May 11th so 5 months before I can forget the buses?

Small fry - I think you mispelled effluent? I'd look at it but I'd be better off spending the time watching CBBC.

Good to some dormant shareholders expressing their interest in the company.

It may look like I have the same ambition - being the focal point.

But, I get annoyed when I log in here and there is repeatedly no news or posts!

All my my twaddle is a vain attempt to generate some chat between us.

I have found in life that many a true word is spoken in jest. Was Newton there when the apple fell and he developed his ideas about gravity? Or did he hear about an apple falling on someone's head or summat - and he took it from there? Perhaps William Tell shot the apple before it landed on the boy?

If everyone filtered him out - there would be no replies

It is ADHD - he has to be the focal point and here he found an audience that allowed him to get away with it.

I struggle to think what he has brought to this board that was of any value.

For me, it was news that TLOU were liable for royalties to KE/Seka once we bought them out.

12.5% and/or 3% of the profits for Gas or/and Electricity sold from Selemo (cannot temember which was which).

They were clearly aware that we intended to sell GAS , but the Gas could generate Electricity , so they covered themselves either way. TG successed generated electricity where they had failed dismally - and probably read Donkey on ADVFN saying what he says AND THEY BELIEVED HIM!!

It was true - but the royalty was purely for the Selemo plot, so TLOU switched to a royalty free zone i.e. Lesedi, and ky-boshed KE/Seka by not selling gas or electricity so no royalties due! Instead, TLOU generated onsite electricity fro Selemo and saved buying 50k litres of Diesel to do the same!

They also proved that Orapa ,who have duel fuel generators , could switch to gas too!! A future project once we can finance it ourselves or Orapa get grants/loans to pay us.

TG is one person's fool - but he is actually nobody's fool - cos the oddball is irrelevant.

I forgot to mention the final straw for me!

Does anybody believe that gas will flow faster in a confined space under massive pressure BETTER than in a low pressure environment? CBM is escaping into the atmosphere everywhere , stopping it is a major problem!

In other words will air be more likely to?

a) be breathed in by a pair or lungs from a new born baby

b) blow up car tyres by entering valves of its own accord?

I find it incredible that a moron can spend so much time on here AND DOES NOT REALISE WE ARE DRILLING CHANNELS THROUGH THE COAL TO RELIEVE PRESSURE SO THAT GAS WILL FLOW???

Perhaps he thinks TG chose Botswana because of all its elephants (TLOUS) that can stand on Lesedi soil and squeeze the gas out of the coal 450m+ below??? His idiocy is boundless!

He has achieved his goal - while everyone awaits news from TLOU that 2024 is now supplying the National Grid with power - this site has been taken over by the biggest dope ever.

He killed ADVFN and he has reduced these pages to a self congratulatory monologue.

He is basically nuts! And stupid!

250m is pure fantasy!!! Lower Moripule seam is 450m down - critically above 400m is depth where horizontal drills become most cost effective. Another triumph for TG over the clown who wanted us to rely on Vertical drills that have 6m of coal to draw gas from! Horizontal drills expose up to 750m of coal seam?

I bought in here expecting TG to produce gas cylinders full of CBM within 18 months!

The average home in Botswana would be reduced to gas mantle lights and calor gas containers to manage?

TLOU would become a UBER lorry fleet to deliver full and collect empty cylinders!

Those 18 months were replaced by new RFP being reworded to the satisfaction of the Govt and Seka - a waste of time for TLOU! BUT TLOU ENDED UP WITH PLANS FOR A TURN-KEY POWER SUPPLY , 100KM OF TX LINES , SOLAR ENERGY , a pipeline to Orapa , and an outside chance of HYDROGEN.

They present quite a challenge for a start up company and many of us woud not have invested out life savings in such a project. Unbelievable the share price reached 17p for the Calor Gas project , and is 2p for the Power House plans which is a few months from first revenues. That is as nuts as the filtered nutter!

How TG has kept this project on budget for so long , without help from the Govt , shareholders or anyone other than the Pesnsion Fund and the Doc , is testimony to what a great man he is! He has become a recluse , beavering away for our benefit as he always promised to do! The guys that matter are well onside and are far from being nuts imho!

The share price of 2p is doomed - new shareholders worldwide will soon be getting notice from their 1p shares advisors (Motley Fool types) and a sensible price will be restored. Will 17p be achieved? It ought to but 11p will do to bring a smile to the Pension Fund managers!!!
