RIP Nick Parsons - one of the best & a true gent! We radio 4 listeners will miss you. God bless!

Hey Mebo...hope you are enjoying 2020?

Testpack, as usual, you are talking out of your arrze! I never have mentioned EV taxis & care less about global warming, only to say that I do not deny it. I have a recycle bin but I'm blowed if I am going to fly less or even stop driving my Golf TDI! I will eat meat & carry on as usual...but the upside is the south east is getting warmer...as far as I am concerned that is better than it getting colder!

Testpack, I'm not a climate change denier- where did you get that from - I embrace climate change, I dont deny it! I actually abhor Trump's denial of climate change as he just seems to be playing a part in "The Empofors New Clothes' fable...he is the only one who doesn't see his naked lies about fossil fuel not being a factor in global warming. But he has other qualities like seeing through Iran's nuclear ambitions & at least trying to deal with North Korea. Also, he is at least recognising the huge imbalance of trade with China that has had such a detrimental effect on blue collar workers in the good ole USA!

Testpack, but that is why so many folk voted for Trump - that & his 'climate denial'! But even with all those faults, Trump is a refreshing change & represents many who feel forgotten & neglected. He is far from ideal as a President but maybe the real benefits of his presidency will be felt after his tenure when the forgotten, dissatisfied and unrepresented finally have to be considered!

It was a pleasure getting to know you & I wish you all the best Brian. I appreciate your input into Sound Energy - such a shame you could not be present when the secrets of East Morocco are finally revealed - but bon chance in your next adventure! You always seemed like a decent, straightforward guy & it was always a pleasure whenever we met. Over to Schlumberger for Geologic advice from now on?

Cheers....Crude

UTman, I totally agree. There is no 'snake oil' here - maybe just the salesman but the product he was selling is real & valuable. JP did not commit any crime - he totally believed in what he was saying. We all collectively had faith & if anything can be levelled at the CEO it surely cannot ammount to anything more than naievty!

Lossgain, it was a pleasure to meet you at that Shard Event - I still look back on the video fondly. Anyway, the prognosis seems to be "upside potential good"...I'll take that & may well buy more shares after the dust from the placing has settled.

To all Sound Energy investors & staff & may the New year truly mark the resurrection of our Company & the start of something amazing - the opening of a new hydrocarbon provincle in East Morocco! From little acorns spring large gas fields...hopefully!

Cheers all - Crude

Partridge now is not the time for extracting apologies from injured investors - no need to be so crass!

Abslom...Laundau, Lenigas - let's hope Parsons isn't another name synonymous with AIM failure!

Regardless, I know JP was sincere in his belief that East Morocco is a hydrocarbon province...but as the drilling campaign progressed he knew that we were holding too much project equity. But he sold it to us on the strength that we had nearly 50% equity & were "cashed up" with all that Greenberry liquidity. The bottom line is we were overstretched & under-funded. At the time we didn't know that & I suspect James was naive in that respect - the upside seemed to outweigh the costs of the downside & it was all gung ho & tally-ho for the charge to multiple TCFs! Now we need to hope that this deal goes through - or some other deal goes through - otherwise, we cash & burn!

Thanks a bunch, scarf - at least you aren't fessing up to a one-night-stand!

The SP has now submerged to almost sub 2p - the films 'Crash Dive' & 'We Dive at Dawn' come to mind!

tombi, how careless was that? You say it cost $855 to cover the loss - are you a yank? If so when was the last time a Yankee Captain went down with his ship?

Pont, very droll!

Scaramanga, we heard you first time so no need to SHOUT!

testpack you really are off your head! I am not a conduit for Sound Management to filter through propaganda. As for owning shares - I do & have invested plenty. You are a typical conspiracy theorist who would rather propose the preposterous rather than take things as they almost always are...normal, mundane & frankly quite boring!

KTF, I wish! I thought the share price might sink to these levels but I did not anticipate another raise. Is it time to load up? You've got to ask yourself one question: "do I feel lucky? Well, do you punk"? SOB..........

tombi, if I thought the deal was a synch to be signed I would not hesitate to buy more at our current valuation - but that's the gamble. It's back to roulette when you spin the wheel for red or black! The AIM Casino is in full swing right here at Sound!

Ps, it is pretty sobering when you put it like that. We are now valued at a mere £22 million & yes, we thought relinquishing that 9% was bad - but who expected another raise at this moment in time. We thought we would be fully funded - but there is many a slip betwixt cup & lip & until that deal is signed we are about as vulnerable as a newborn lamb who needs to wean when there is nothing more to wean on! All this talk of shareholder rebellion is all very well but at the moment we are on a high wire trapeze with no safety net & hardly in a position to complain until we get our feet firmly on the ground!
Get the deal done FFS!

Pont, why on earth should I apologise? I supported this Company in its Moroccan drilling program & still maintain that support.
