We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Prospect- - well that certainly put me in the mood for a holiday !! ;@)
What a load of old cobblers - Me ranking 6th as a pumper or dumper - Degsy has not been around under that guise for a very long time - so as we all do our own research we can see that not everything posted can be trusted.
Stay safe - don't wear your socks in the bath - ;@)
I was giving an alternative to ridiculous house prices in London. I am quite happy with my current sea view.
Here are a couple of examples of houses in the countryside but less than an hour from the city centre.

RC - a couple of years ago we were sat, albeit with a lot fewer shares, over 7p on the possibility of a farm in - NOT a drill in the seabed close to reaching TD.
So a small rise may excite some, however, it is better to see blue than red on the portfolios of many.
To be honest I did get a goosebump or three when my holding here turned blue for the first time this year. It has a lot further to go before I sing and dance however. Onwards and upwards and time again for my BPC anthem

Rp11ace - we might get one of the usual RNS stating: -
"BPC have no knowledge why the sudden increase in price"
...to have resumed. Long may it continue.
I think the execs would prefer a more refined vessel lol. ;@) And a quicker one too.
....the % sign on my holding in BPC is blue - for the first time in weeks I am sat on .84% profit.
The dilemma is, do I sell up now and count my blessings or hang about and see what happens? LMAO.
Really struggling to see this as low as it is on drilling with P1.
This past month has seen some massive knobs come here and play their games - the press has drip-fed such a lot of twaddle and the opponents have twisted the knife and the words of any news item to their favour.
As the very historic war cry is screamed from the rooftop "Not long now lads" !!!
Stay safe - by the time I have hit the return button on my laptop I have probably returned to the red lol. ;@)
jimtheknow - your main post MAY put a sock in the mouths of the folk declaring 65% there is no oil from the 35% cos.
The figures as you rightly point out is that there is a 90% chance of oil - with the CoS being as a result of the other matters in the equation.
Still not a dead cert yet of course. All to play for. ;@)
Gazza - this is such a place - however, when fiction is abused and purported to look like a fact is when the knives come out.
If everyone played nice it would be better, though, everyone enjoys a little banter now and again.
I haven't as yet - though a 12 day break to walk the dyke is a few too many days at the moment. I have still to walk my local - Hadrian's Wall yet.
I will probably get a couple of new knees before I take on a new trek like that.
I think even the Lyke Wake Walk will finish off what is left of the cartilage. Though perhaps the LWW is a good way to celebrate a victory for BPC with the pub at the end of it. Any animosity from the board will be easily settled over a pint.
...it is human nature to make mistakes oneself while finding it hard to forgive others.
Another old proverb -
let sleeping dogs lie
said to warn someone that they should not talk about a bad situation that most people have forgotten about.
There has been a lot of space taken up by folks today.
Nobody (well most) knows each other - why keep hostility on a board - it is bad enough with the muppetry that goes on around us - there should not be anything said on here that we would not say to someone's face.
We are all adults in the main, and we should bloody well act like adults.
I do look forward to the end game here, where all meet up, shake hands and probably never see or hear from one another again.
Cheers for that clarification VerbierDave - hopefully it will put to bed this particular issue. Many thanks - back to the grandkids.
no worries about the spelling - never done Snowdon, however, have hung from some precarious places in my time and seen the glint of many a knife edge lol.
Whilst my name may shout Taffy - I need to go back to great grandparent to find my heritage !! According to DNA only 13% English with the rest made up of Celtic heritage around the isles.
Back to the ridges - have done all the peaks in the lakes, and many up in Scotland and have slid down many a painful scree. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say haha.
As I mentioned having no fear with ifs and buts I do, when I can, take the necessary precautions to reduce the risk. Otherwise, it would be like investing here without reading some factual stuff first lmao Stay safe ;@)
the coast of Cuba in Bahamian waters. They are doing so having been granted legal and above board licences to do so.
A minority within the islands are against such a drill.
Some within the government claim they are against drilling, HOWEVER, they are keen to ascertain whether the sovereign state have access to the monies which would come from exploiting any oil found.
Fact - tourism in the next few years will be difficult to put bread on the tables of many families.
Fact - BPC are able to continue to drill until they decide enough information has been discovered to determine whether commercial quantities of oil are there or otherwise.
Fact - there are several folks who will twist fact and turn it into fiction.
Fact - I am scratching my head as to w7f these folks think they do why they do it - perhaps bullied and feel safe to wind people up whilst hiding behind a pseudonym - perhaps paid by someone. Either way it is like standing in the middle of a Saturday every time they pop up and I hate doing that.
Fact - I have been here for a lot of years, I have seen many a gloater come on the board, whether iii, advfn, here or elsewhere - always the same old piffle and they usually get their just desserts in the end.
Fact - I am off to visit the grandkids so will be cheered up by the time I get there and the same when I get back. They are in my personal bubble as I am that sad man who lives on his own, but does not need to give my time to typing 5hi7e other than now.
Stay safe all - bullies are bad people - people who try and bully online are a lot worse. Play nice til I get back.
The big man, upstairs, will be putting a cross in the bad people's records as we speak.
HERE WE GO AGAIN - IFS AND BUTS.
Pros - who knocked your glass over? Best to keep your glass half full than empty - that way the pressure of worrying about ifs and buts is minimised.
I prefer to walk up a mountain without being concerned about an avalanche, a livid eagle, raging animal, falling off the precipice. Doing so allows me to enjoy the views, and the journey itself.
In my previous career, I would walk into an incident not overly concerned (though always with some caution) and got on with whatever danger faced me and/or my colleagues. I survived all that was thrown at me. Maybe a few too many scars, but I am here.
I would hope everyone here has walked into the fray with their eyes open. We certainly do not require any additional boll0x being thrown into the mix when there is factual news to be read rather that hypothetical tosh.
Fair points, well presented - though had they heard even the slightest whisper, they may wish to offload in a couple of weeks =, though I do accept they may be more than happy with a small teaser which is guaranteed 15% even if it is to the detriment of the hand that feeds them.
....there is no obligation by LO to rid themselves of any shares to my recollection - should they have had any whisper of what lies beneath, why would they dump at these levels? Just a thought.
Prospect- If that is the case then I can never be accused of ramping LOL ;@)
