WHamBoy - wise words indeed and as a small addition to that, I have never met a socialist however left they may lean that wasn't an avid capitalist in their own affairs. I think it's called "Human Nature".

Biggest surprise of the day for me was knowing that Puddy has a spellchecker.

Never mind mapp, when Frontera have come good and we're both rich we'll run away together.

I used to drive through the Dulwich toll gate every day. Then, surprise, surprise it was discovered that the cash collectors were pocketing a large chunk of the cash and this time none of them were called Zaza. Frontera and Hope should together be concentrating on putting the company in a condition to sell as a priority. The rest is just pointless noise. When they have done that and achieved a reasonable price we can all move on with our lives. Simples!

Steady on MadP, ODR is very sensitive about anything critical of the Labour Party.

MadP - We just don't know if it will be good, bad. or indifferent. Let's just wait and see.

RR any chance you could just chill out. Nothing you can do will change anything so just hope that of the millions of people praying to their God that Putin dies just one has their prayers answered.

Does anyone know where there is a large gas field, so far undeveloped, with a BP gas processing plant next to it and an established pipeline running through it going all the way into Europe. If anyone does know of such a place please tell all the countries of the EU as I really think they need the gas.

For those of you that would benefit from a memory refresh.

Yes - you are being stupid!

I don't think Frontera will develop anything. The most likely course is for a buy out and then let, probably a major, do the development on a fast timescale that would be far beyond the likes of Frontera. I can't think that anyone of us would turn down that scenario.

tsbs - If I might borrow a phrase that came out of the first Crimean war - "Steady the Buffs".

Looks like BP you need to replace your Russian oil and gas supplies. I know a place in Georgia called Block X!!. ...and guess what BP it's next door to your gas processing plant for the trans Georgia pipeline. If you like I'll arrange an introduction to Frontera (the legal one that is) so you start planning extraction as soon as possible.
This is all very convenient for you. Best get cracking asap.

iandadesa - another one for the filter. Life's too short for that nonsense.

Why does (nearly) everyone assume that Putin can do what he likes and remain untouched. If he does anything that upsets the kleptocracy by diminishing their wealth he will soon become "A dead man walking". At the moment Putin seems intent on seeing how far he can go without actually invading Ukraine. Playing dangerous games always have uncertain outcomes the only conclusion one can draw is that there will be no winners.

At our age everything takes longer than a few seconds!

---and Dave, as we have both said before many times, an efficient and reliable broker is the way to go. There are many that are not.

The world has had a climate for millions of years. The climate is always and has always been changing, therefore it is nonsensical to appropriate and single out the climate of the current era for the term "denier". In past millenia the world has been much warmer and also colder, the change is this time is that there is a measure of man made pollutants in the mix, of which co2, making up 0.04% of the atmosphere acts as a spur to photosynthesis and therefore oxygen production, is a minor offender compared to other pollutants. It therefore makes sense to do whatever is necessary to do away with the harmful elements being pumped into the atmosphere and do so at a pace consistent with the evolving science rather than bankrupting the population on the altar of "instant greening". Of course unless and until China. India and the USA put their house in order the rest of us have no more effect than "virtue signalling".
