Living on my own, I don't know what is common knowledge any more.
I heard about this and it sounds excellent if you have children.
I don't need this because my eldest is unbelievably 50 and I haven't been a wage-earner for quite a while.

The first time buyer gets all the perks going within this scheme whilst owning their home themselves. Sounds very good to me. Some of you must be in your 40's and wealthy enough to help a child.

Sorry to break the silence - but so many on here don't want to see posts on here and must be very happy nowadays.

Winni, your 1bn share issue tallies with my ideas. 400m more shares at double digits will raise quite a bit. The 600m existing shares have to suffice until we get to double digits in a years time (or earlier). With trillions of cu ft of gas - we will own 1000's of cu ft each :O)

As was pointed out to me , on here no doubt, SM floating at 20 cents compared to our 3c? , 20c is a red herring on ASX - it is the minimum level for an IPO.

There are more trades than posts nowadays Winni.

Orapa is more than a possibility imho.

It is a virtual certainty - the gas is needed , we can supply it !

If I was to prophecy what is going to happen - total guesswork - no insider info!

I think TG will hang around until we are sending 10mw to 25mw successfully!

He might well offer TLOU for sale with these points to raise the price!!!

1. Metal pylons are advised for expansion above 25Mw and they will take a while to erect!
2. Meanwhile we would have opened Mamba for Orapa gas supply and thatcan continue in parallel to metal poles! 90mw of electricity powered by our gas pipeline straight into Orapa!
3. Mamba might also power Synergen Met's Hydrogen and Carbon trial by the too! That is possible and improbable maybe!
4. The same for Crypto coin generation but 3 and 4 are jam and cream on top of the scones and butter provided by gas and electricity!

CBN was good enough to raise $4Bn ..... that won't buy the potential here imho!

I hope TG sees it through - I would if I was him - but he won't need to worry financially for the rest of his days, whichever way he goes!

I see a post has arrived - sod's law - more posts than trades today :O)

Does TG look like a man under pressure?
He casually mentioned 4 or 5 successful projects, always said this is the best of all, and the reassurance he gets from the pension fund is magic.

They have never doubted he will get there , and neither have I , it is a matter of when , not if , it pays off. As Winni said , he has worked miracles to survive 10 years without no company earnings. And 600m shares , compared to Sirius at least, leaves quite a bit of room to raise some cash from a much higher shareprice later? Hopefully 400m new shares at 30p or more will allow TLOU room to exand on all fronts, Hydrogen , Solar , Gas and Carbon - all viable in the long run. 30p I hear Whizzer and Moagi sneering? Yes, as soon as Synergen Met announce the lance is working , I think we'll see a fantastic rise from around 1p to 11p , and from there , as good news hits the fan , steady progression as the most stupid of people realise the potential.

There is no urgency yet , we are wasting the gas we are producing by flaring it , so do we really want more gas , just to produce bigger flares? Of course not!

I'm hoping I'll live long enough to see this come to fruition - but that is out of TG's control! And mine!

I am still considering equity release , and 4% daily interest fixed rate on the equity. Mortgage rate ?

How much are mortgages above the base rate?
The rate will stay a set percentage above the base rate, usually around 0.5-2%.

Base rate plus 2% is over 4% today. It could be a money maker. House prices must collapse soon - could be massively - that complicates the whole situation.

Moagi, you need to learn about punctuation because it is impossible to see what you are saying for yourself, and what is being quoted. And no link to the quote compounds that.

Once we have reached 25MW on the wooden poles , TLOU will have a good idea of how far the gas and solar can go and therefore how big the next transmission lines need to be. It all fits in with start small, stay solvent, expand in time and grow up! Whether the latter is planned by TLOU or is being prepared for a taleover is the $64k question! Incredible figure from when? In the UK £75k on the pools was a fortune too? Euromillions would have been called Eurothousands in those days.

Vote of confidence in Liz Truss is due in weeks rather than years - she has toured the Radio stations and gave the same speech on each. One 'so called' interviewer actually asked her why she was doing that? She did not a stock answer for him I'm betting! I am anticipating another Lib-Lab pact at the next election , Liberals winning the South , Labour the North , how far North is the £171m question , it seems possible Labour might take a few SNP seats.

Does anyone know is Monday's podcast is available? And was it Tony giving the same spiel as he did on the previous one?

Just heard a lady explaining a flaw in OTP (one time password) on phones. Thieves steal your phone (fitness centres are popular) and try to log into your bank so YOUR PHONE receives an OTP when they fail.
If you have NOTIFICATION PREVIEW ENABLED (the default on many phones) they can see the OTP on YOUR phone!
Armed with that OTP they can now get into your account ON THEIR PHONE and you are up the creek!
SO TURN OFF THE PREVIEW
Bit of a bummer because it is so handy on my PC with OTP on my mobile! I don't even have to read the message! My bank loves OTP for Direct Debits etc..
I don't have banking on my mobile at all because phones are so vulnerable to thieves or finders (if it is lost).

I have been "pond"ering about the water at Lesedi!

Given that CBM is lighter than air, and water is heavier, there might be scope to drill vertically down or across to the existing channel, and continue drilling beyond it to an underground cavern or a very porous area!

The water will drop into the new shaft towards the porous area where it will disseminate . The CBM will want to rise up the vertical/diagonal shaft - so we'd have to cap it so it follows the required route or capture it from the new drilling.

It is unlikely that drainage will be available or even detectable - so TG is one step ahead of me. A second channel which merges at a suitable point with the original. The water will follow the lower channel - the gas stay will follow the higher channel? The higher one has a chance to dry out, release more gas , and bob is your aunty. The alternative is to simply cross our fingers and hope the water comes to an end naturally! Easier to do , but we have waited too long for that to happen? The first dewatering is the crucial one, we have always known that. Makes me wonder if Selemo was dewatered by our predecessors and they gave up 2 months before the water would have stopped.

FFS, Moagi you have the comprehension of a dead neanderthal!

It is quite clearly not Gas Flows that are the problem! A car can be perfect but is useless if it is stick in a trffic jam! Ferrari or Reliant Robin , neither is going anywhere!!

The problem lies with the amount of water at Lesedi. The drilling variation is to drain the water away from the coal faces so the gas is exposed and can dehumify.

As you say, horizontal drills sharing the same channel for gas and water has turned out to be a failure! It worked at Selemo and the odds favoured it working at Lesedi! We have not seen the difference reported anywhere.

Tony said a few things that made me suspect there is a watercourse feeding Lesedi and it may never drain unless it is assuaged. We might be trying to drain Lake Victoria or the Zambezi for all we know!

It was known it could take years even if it is simply saturated coal over a lot of time.

It is also a near certainty that Orapa is waiting for TLOU to supply them. They seemed to think we could supply gas quickly which was odd? It will be Mamba supplying the gas I reckon. Mamba might mimic Selemo and overtake gas flows at Lesedi but I think it might be a step too far currently. With hindsight it might have been a good switch - IFF WATER IS NOT A HUGE PROBLEM? If and only if in mathematics Moagi!!!

Flat desert and water? Who'd have expected excess water? Valleys, hills and greenery are more more dodgy at the surface. The surface is high in comparison ed to the depth we are working at I suppose.

"Botswana is already experiencing so-called 'water stress' which is related to a number of factors such as rapidly increasing population leading to a sharp increase in water demand, low and variable rainfall, high rates of evaporation, and the high cost of exploiting existing water resources. 5 Jul 2022"

Underground water tables don't evaporate.

Orapa is fairly close to Makgadikgadi Pans National Park - which includes the remains of the formerly enormous Lake Makgadikgadi, which once covered an area larger than Switzerland, but dried up tens of thousands of years ago.

Guess where it went :O(

Gee, I saw I had invented a word inflationed when I changed the original to inflated ( I thought).

Since sending I have been trying to get the corrected image up and could not!
It's my age they say!
I tried the link in Chrome and it was the amended version!
Bloody Firefox was using the cached image of course. I quit and reloaded Firefox, no change! I went into settings and opted to clear cookies etc when leaving a site!

I quit and reloaded Firefox, could not get into Gmail! My password was changed 4 months ago! I kept Liz's account going as my recovery user. Got into her gmail and switched to me! Same thing! Wrong password! Passwords drive me mad and none of this was necessary - I had changed the link content ages ago!!! Grrrrr!

Trousers I have knocked up a spreadsheet towards Equity Release and buying TLOU shares currently. The Equity does not half rise , especially if I lived to 102!

But I'll leave you to see if it is worth it! I know what I think , of course!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dv691T8w4_v3fmY6AdGj3lAmObtJrQYT/view?usp=sharing

I don't know when Bitcoin or Hydrogen/Carbon will kick in , but 2030 gives them enough time to get the shareprice up to £1 .... where I stopped the sheet.

My perverse logic, makes it likely I will live to 2050, but will £6m buy me a pint of beer in 2050? Liz Truss and the Somerset buffoon will have wrecked the country long before I reckon. If Trump get back he will start to look intelligent compared to them!!! Releasing a video so they cannot be asked questions on the content??
I am seriously worried about this administration.

The spreadsheet does not even get to 5p by 2050 so I cannot be accused of rose coloured specs! It will be 5p in or before 2023 , good news of a prototype will do it? Bitcoin has not BITten the dust either so that could feature by 2050 too.

I found I can balance on 2 feet for 10 seconds - so does that buy me 2 x 7 years :O)
Perhaps I will send the spreadsheet to my boys to see what the next generation think about Equity release!

I back losers Whizzer , but only up until we arrive at the finishing post!
It does not matter to me what the price of TLOU is because I am looking to buy not sell!!!!! If the price was 11p I'd be buying fewer shares than I am at 1.262p of course. You are TLOS's broken bit, and Moagi is the injured foreleg, I am Fred Winter nursing him home!!!!! And he was the winner!!!!

For TLOU read Mandarin! I backed him, Mandarin, that day.
I have had a few winners since , Prince Royal at 66/1 in the Prix de L'arc de Triomphe and Ben Nevis at 40/1 in the Grand National. I was sick as a parrot on Prince Royal! The trainer had 4 horses in the race so my stake , under French rules, was split equally between all 4. I did not know that but I was still a school boy in 1964!

5. Mandarin in the Grand Steeplechase de Paris
Auteuil, 17 June 1962

Sheer heroism from horse and jockey. Mandarin's bit broke early in the race, leaving Fred Winter with no brakes or steering around Auteuil's dizzying four-mile figure-of-eight circuit, but a combination of leg-power and willpower kept the partnership intact. Three fences out the exhausted Mandarin broke down in one of his forelegs, but he kept slogging on, taking the lead 100 yards out only to have the French horse Lumino launch a late challenge and grab Mandarin at the line. Verdict: Mandarin by a head. John Oaksey wrote: 'I have never seen a comparable feat, never expect to - and can only thank God I was there.'

Cheers Winni , I really loved listening to that. Everything as expected with TG's frugality coming across several times. Until we have money to burn rather than gas, watching costs is the way to succeed! If only Sirius had learned that lesson!

He was careful to stay away from the "groan" word at the end , I guess we are all sick to death of "dewatering". He talked about improving gas flows with changes to the drilling techniques they are picking up. I used to bang on about dewatering all the time, and how the difference in timings between Selemo and Lesedi were extreme opposites! A couple of months at Selemo , and a never ending story at Lesedi!

He has not hidden the truth , it states clearly in the RNS that water needs to be attacked from a new angle. It sounds as though there is a watercourse feeding into Lesedi , which explains the main difference from Selemo?

The comparison of costs between Australian driling and Botswana sounds phenominal , especially given Botswana pricing was an incentive in the first place. We are gaining at both ends of the candle it seems!

ASX were down to 1.6p last night , and 10,000 shares just offered at 1.262p on LSE fixed price. 1m for £16,679 has to be the bargain of a lifetime?

Whizzer today I heard Tony telling it as it is, and you whingeing!

Which of you is effing up the share price do you think?
I missed the comma out - the answer is NO you don't think!

Was Britney singing about you in the following song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOZuxwVk7TU

Thanks trousers, so it looks like 25% - 33% is a ball park figure.
Interest rates are a bit higher with rise in bank rate
"The lowest Equity Release interest rate is currently 4.35% (AER) fixed for life. The highest interest rate in the market is 7.55% (AER)".

I have done the expectation of life test which was recently in the news.
If you can balance on one leg for 10 seconds then you can expect another 7 yrs.
or more. I am on the top of the age group and can last 10 seconds on either leg with practise. Strong shoes are easier than sloppy slippers so I don't know what that says.

I am encouraged to buy a few million shares after Moagi's post.
In the BP dealing room there was a guy that the dealers often consulted who had the expertise of Moagi. They only asked him to confirm that the opposing position was a winner.

from Moagi's only topic of conversation ...... Bless you my son! Your grandfather , CEO of Tlou , sends his love.

Nobody found the Webinar yet then?

I caould not believe just how many functions were taking place all around the world on Friday on Oil and Gas , whether on Zoom or actually meetings! No wonder they don't get their act together - there was more than one in Southern Africa alone?

Just google this and see what you get back.

Slides from the webinar online.
Further proof that TLOU listen to this board I feel.
I suggested the first ASX enquiry was likely to reflect how our shares are distributed across exchanges and bob's you uncle , up pops a slide showing us the percentages.

As for ASIC Tlou are holding their position (the lady is not for turning attitude) on cleaner energy statements. I love the consistency we get from our board. Unlike the woolly govt in the UK that does u-turns before a day has passed sometimes!

Has anybody released cash from their property recently? Neither of my boys would want my house to live in so I'd leave enough equity in the property for them to inherit a reasonable amount. I just did a dummy purchase of 1m shares and was offered the whole lot immediately!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uXq848OPbNj32WiK7aO4dZ1oVpyUCOSE/view?usp=sharing

1m golden nuggets should cost several times £18k imho .....

Many a true word , small fry,

the shortage of parts is probably because they were ordered from the industiral estate around the corner from your home in the UK - just across the water :O)

If only they could put up naked poles and then dress them in situ later?
More risk of falls , people and parts , probably rule it out.
And lifting and fitting will be too slow compared to doing it on the ground too?

Naked poles ... now there is a lovely thought?

Tony made the sleeves sound like a minor hiccough , and will save money in the long run if they work. I wonder if there will be a shortage of them now? They look like they can be fitted at the time the poles are erected, merely slide them on and heat 'em up?

Did anybody try to sign up for Zoom tomorrow? I started but it seemed intended for companies rather than individual investors. It was not clear how to register from a PC - everything seems to designed for browsers on mobile phones nowadays. "Register now" button did nothing unless a pop-up was suppressed?

Who is lying mornington?
Did both of them prophecy those same percentage gains on 3 other companies?

It is very obvious the whole article is a scam - so both are lying - and there are others out there!!!!! Paul Dolan has denied that credits will come from the millions of acres of forests.

Look on the bright side chaps!

BPC expect our poles need to last 20 years or more - how big a vote of confidence in TLOU is that? Pension fund pay 3.5p for shares that are on the market for less than 2p too. BPC agreed to move their power lines to accomodate ours.

Confidence levels must be close to 100% but that does not stop folk on here from knocking the company at every opportunity! With their Psyche it must be difficult to get out of bed! The floor might be about to collapse? Scalding water in the shower must be a worry too! I'd like to have seen Whizzer reports during the days they built the Pyramids! Never going to be finished?

Many hands make light work they say - a few poles in the ground in 2022/23 wth modern machinery is nothing compared to the Pyramids.

There
