Wolfe, as far as I recollect Job has always been 'Jobbinscl'.

He's no ramper, just someone who wants to make a profit & has seen the opportunity over the years that, on occasion, presented itself. Opportunities will soon present themselves once again but shareholders are not 'rampers' because they believe in their investment & current Company operations. There is a difference between an enthusiastic investor & someone who just pumps out repetitive, inane propaganda to serve their own means.

Crude...I was always a believer in our Moroccan acreage.

Well said, Job. Ducks still have to be lined up & signatures signed on the dotted line! 'Due diligence', small print, contractual law, high finance...it all takes time. But when said ducks are all in a line & much more 'de-risking' has occurred we'll see steady SP progress. But it will only then take a good well success to really launch our share price. As we have seen in the past, things can happen very quickly with some good news. Some of us remember flying from 6p to 66p in very short time & from 20p (post-consolidation) to £100!

Crude...optimistically!

Yeah, come on Graham, talk dirty; tell us about the multiple TCF potential & how it just grows & gets bigger...oooh yeah! What about the 'Ducks' ...surely there are some ducks. Are we quacking & waddling? If we are then there is only one duck & he sure ain't forming any line! Let's hope said duck is paddling furiously below, whilst keeping a very boring demeanor above...

Crude...bored but still feeding the ducks/duck!

I'm sure Simon will fulfill his duties on the Audit and Remuneration and Nominations committees of the Board in the time-honored usual manner: bonuses all round for an excellent job! keep up the good work & here are some free shares & warrants etc etc. But these bonuses must be earned & not just doled out like candy to pacify board members who complain about the cost of living or think the AIM is a free lunch ticket at the expense of impoverished shareholders!

Congratulations & welcome aboard, Simon. All the best...Crude

Testpack, you do make me laugh! I can assure you the "poodle" never got any scraps from Parson's table. You can say what you like but when JP took command we were desperately failing under the affable,genial, but ultimately useless Gerry Orbell. We were taking on so many shares to fund a campaign that was doomed to failure due to its sheer extent, size & CAPEX draining nature. JP extricated us & raised much needed finance through non-immediate dilutary measures. Those measures not only kept the lights on but literally laid the groundwork for where we are now. So don't give me all that bs.because I well remember all the way back to 2010! James has his faults, for sure, but without his bean keeper head we'd all be down the toilet by now!

Good day to you,

Crude

Blink, that reminds me of Labour Chief Secreatary to the Treasury, Liam Byrne, saying "there's no money left" when the Tories took over in 2010! Ðont believe all you read....

Would you place blund faith in this Sound administration? Timelines & costs are always oversold to punters, I.e, it always costs more & takes more time! Would I trust these guys more than JP, probably. But only because the hard groundwork was laid beforehand. We have a great foundation to work on & hopefully the right team to reap the rewards. Those TCFs are out there...let's find them & let's finally produce credible volumes of gas!

Crude

Let's hope there is not much overspend on phase one as it could cost us around 9% extra revenue for 5 years...ouch! But overall very positive & I'm sure we all look forward to being 'carried' on that very promising TE4 well location. How long all this takes is anyone's guess but I'm sitting tight on my shares & looking forward to another excellent return. I love Sound (I even have a Sound number plate & I love Morocco. I think we have a great chance of success!

Crude

Tespack, give it a rest or I'll bite your leg....grrrrr

Parson's poodle...lol!

far out! doesn't that response shake you to the core? we're done for, redundant & about to be replaced. "**** sapiens have outgrown their use"...

crude bot

Testpack, by comparison we're all semi-evolved simians. So says 'Parson's poodle'. I thought I'd get that one in before you did! Anyway, the so called failure' is only a failure by comparison to the metric of our current success, which as of now is not quite visible to the human eye. When we are is when we can possibly start to measure what went before, although of course, building blocks were laid on a foundation of discovered hydrocarbons. Anyway, you did make me laugh...

Crude

Bluboyz, apparently this 'thing' can pass the bar exam to become a Lawyer, so writing documents, letters dissatations & legal agreements is no task at all. It could probably sign on the dotted line if you asked it! This technology is rapidly changing & updating & soon we'll be in a world hardly recognisable from the one I grew up in the 60/70s! A much called for moratorium is a pipedteam. Like splitting the attom & creating atomic bombs that could create 'MAD'...the genie is out of the bottle with AI & it ain't going to be restrained!

Crude apologies for O/T

I thought Chat gtp was amazing but this latest iteration seems light- speed quick! I asked it to write a poem about the Beatles & almost before I could snap my fingers it had appeared on my screen. It wasn't Wordsworth-like genius but it covered so many important stages of their career & was eerily knowledgeable! I just wonder if asked to perform the task again if it would repeat it...or is my AGI poem unique! I even asked it to write a letter (email) to 'Highways' about a road sign In my area I dislike. I gave it some salient points & bang, it appeared almost instantaneously! Even the so called Godfather of AGI (an English man called Geofrey Hinton, whose 'Backward Regeneration' technology is behind all this) resigned from Google because of his fears for mankind: being outsmarted by artificial inteligence is now such a worry & no wonder! This is beyond comprehention but can it be harnest by "Semi-evolved Simians" is the question of the century!

Crude...apologies for O/T but I am blown away by AI!

Southmeade, classic! I agree - but where are the rampers? The Warlocks with the witchey brew & snake oil..."Double double, Toil & Trouble". They'll sell you anything on AIM . If you are a regular Radio 4 listener you will be familiar with 'You & Yours' presented by the lovely Winifred Robinson. They talked about online gambling but AIM never gets a mention....DYOR is the only advice we ever get...and that's just us telling each other!

Very impressed by that report. I like the optimism of going deeper into Sidi as they say that target pre-sale depth has been ignored due to poor siesmic interpretation...techniques having improved sufficiently to reevaluate.
The tax settlement was a welcome shot in the arm even if we still believe no e was due in the first place.
Now we await farm-in partnersbut the general feeling g is of real, tangible progress on both phases. This is a big project for a time y AIM O&G company but it looks like we can achieve it!

Cheers all...Crude

Hey Mebo, like you I believe there is a chance for long holders to recoup - and even make money, here at Sound. All depends on how loyal shareholders are considered regarding funding. Anyway, I still hold the memory of our Moroccan trip & those taxi rides - one of which broke down. I enjoyed everyone's company so much & it was such a 'gas'meeting up. Memories & experiences like that are precious. You can't go to a travel agent & book a tour of an oil/gas rig....but we did through 'Sound Energy Tours' & it was superb!

Looking forward to the Coronation: Long Live the King.

PS, what we need is progressive, innovative financial solutions. Current Management will kill this stone dead for veteran Sound Energy investors if they do a 'Gerry Orbell' on us!. Our one-time CEO ,pre Parsons, nearly drowned us in shares. Say what you will about J. Parsons but he did at least take a different attitude regarding the raising of cash. This is possibly the one reason historic shareholders are still in the game. Once shares have been issued there a very rarely any share buy-backs on the AIM! Debt, however, can be paid back or credit extended, pending production revenue. I just hope they think about their loyal shareholders when deciding on their future CAPEX requirements!

Crude

I must admit I no longer have the knowledge that I used to have regarding Sound Energy but my interest is increasingly piqued as we surely get closer to some real action...the kind we had pre-pandemic! My interest is in our market cap. With circa 1.8 billion shares currently in issue giving us a MC of £33 million a 5 'bagger' only values us at approx £155 million. I've seen this Company valued at over £800 million before now. We all know what can happen on the AIM when a really juicy RNS hits the market; it's like a 'Nantucket Sleighride' as everyone wants a peice of it: everyone wants to harpoon the big whale & land the catch of a lifetime. But the possibilities are obviously reduced if we end up drowning in a sea of share placements! Sound have the assets but need CAPEX. How they raise that money is obviously crucial to shareholders earning potential.

Cheers all....Crude

Moneyman, Greta Borges me senseless so no, I'm not on her Christmas card list!

Hi Moneyman, long time. I haven't heard from JP in years now so have no idea what he is up to. I think we all learned lessons here at Sound on how to trade & how not to fall in love with a company. As you say, DYOR is essential in all walks of life, especially when there are so many internet scammers around! But what I find sad is the demise of the O&G business. When I started trading O&G was huge & everyone wanted in. We all needed it in our everyday lives but it seems to have become so toxic it makes me either sick, sad or downright angry. The fact is it is a sunset industry & the sun seems to be rapidly setting. It will soon be superseded by renewables but I can't get excited by pains of photovoltaic semi-conducting solar cells...give me oil rigs, drill strings & drill bits. I have no interest in electric cars & wind turbines & as far as I am concerned I'm going to live out my life as I always have done, carefree & as far as possible rules free! I was born in the 60s & I reckon life has been good so far & no amount of so-called 'climate change' is going to dampen it or my spirit!
Crude...and what's more the Government can stick their Central Bank Digital currency up their arrsses! Cash is & should always be KING!

MM1959, I remember those Indonesian wells - nightmare! If it wasn't rain ruining ops it was thick, clastic rock breaking drill bits down there in Java & Kalimantan. Then we had the disappointment of Marciano in Italy. All that excitement turned to tears. Still, things are looking up again & we sure do deserve a lucky break!

I too wonder what happened to Entropick. He certainly was good value & we did have some laughs! I also wonder what happened to M33 investor (I think that was his handle)...haven't heard from him for years. But no doubt good ole 'Doc Holiday' is still coining it in up there in the northwest!
