Hi all, the Hospital I work at is ram packed with patients. A&E had 27 people waiting for a bed yesterday & we haven't even got to the Winter period yet. Flu has been its worst in Australia for 5 years & Covid is set to increase. It seems everyone wants to strike for more pay as increasingly folk find everyday bills hard to pay. This could lead to civil unrest & as far as the NHS is concerned, I am already seeing worrying signs of breakdown. Staffing levels are at best just about viable with absolutely no spare capacity...just like the international gas market, we at the NHS have no swing capacity & and no reserves to fall back on. Already we are at full stretch & we haven't even got past Summer. The whole country is set for a perfect storm of disasters. I think every Department Head in the NHS needs to have motivational talks with their staff just to tell them how much they are needed & appreciated before morale collapses with the onset of what will almost certainly be another 'Winter of Discontent'...like no other before it in 'peacetime'!

Never seen a gig like it! Paul McCartney blew the Glastonbury audience away & was totally awesome! Wish I was there. He's incomparable & simply brilliant! Enjoy him whilst you can, they'll never be another!
Soz for the o/t but it's Saturday night at Glastonbury with the greatest songwriter on the planet!

Hawkander, I have shares in Sound that I have put in the writing drawer (metaphorically) & almost forgotten about. That's not to say I've lost faith, I've just lost touch. My only read is if they have to dilute I may increase my holding after that dust settles...but until then I'll sit tight. Now I see they are talking about various financing options but I'm too long in the tooth to totally discount another small raise. We'll see but as for their future plans, I'm as enthusiastic as most here. The world has changed so much in such a few short years with post-Pandemic, post Brexit, raging inflation, war in Europe; Boris, Prity & the 'Hotel Rwanda' & now that awful change to the US Constitution regarding abortion. We've even had threats from a Russian Duma politician stating emphatically that London will be the first European capital to be 'Nuked' & that world peace is threatened only by the 'Anglo Saxons' - Britains! Make hay my friends whilst the sun still shines on us...

'Down down, deeper & down...let's hope not! Anyway, you brought a smile to my face Soobirs...LMAO!

Meanwhile, the roads are choca between Worthing & Chichester due the the marvelous 'Festival of Speed'. Pitty I'm not in attendance this year...

KTF, keep banging that oil drum...one day it will play our tune!

Hi Job, KTF, Goza etc - thanks for posting. I never had time to catch the event live (too busy at the NHS)... but I do appreciate your relaying & dissemination of the company plan on the live chat. Reminds me of when I used to report on like events.
Cheers...Crude

In the words of the great Sid James in 'Carry on Cowboy' ,when refeing to the hostile Indians: "One minute it's peace on, the next minute it's peace off".................
Peace it is.

Oil, please accept my apologies, I love banter and I did smile at that No. Plate. To be honest I love posting on this site because I know so many people & it has been a long road to where we are now.i only ever wanted us to be successful & I still have hopes. Life is hard enough these days & I just feel the way John Lennon did back in 67 ...'All you Need is Love'. No, I'm not a hippy but surely that is what we all need right now. I might add I am a massive Beatles fan but now,more than ever, we need another John Lennon to give freakin peace a chance...that's all I'm saying - give peace a chance!

I appreciate that StMary - apparently my tongue is in someone else's cheek...lol!

Utility it's all water off a duck's back to me...

St Mary, I'm quite happy to announce if I'm buying or selling - sometimes I'm too honest & upfront for my own good!
Oil, you are a nasty little oik aren't you. There's no call for abuse, we're all in the same boat here! However, I did smile at that number plate. But I think I'll stick with P90 SOU...I've absolutely no reason to change it.

I doubt I will have the time to participate in this Q&A & in any case I am not up to speed with what is going on - I've taken my eye off the ball completely. But my Q&A question would all be about finance; how they are going to pay for that spur pipeline & if there is going to be anything other than debt finance: most of the old hands here have suffered greatly through share dilution & it would be a cruel twist of fate to see the prize in sight ,only to have the share base debased with a torrent of new issues. If I thought the new projects were entirely debt-financed I might even consider increasing my possiotion - but until that confirmation I wait patiently on the sidelines eagerly awaiting the plan & anticipating the long overdue FID...surely as overdue as the second coming of Christ - or the 'Sue Gray Report'!

Hi PNE, yes all is fine with me. Were out here in Lanzarote after two cancelled flights due to Covid. Fortunately the sun has smiled on us everyday so that goes some way to make up for the delay.

As you said, I was only privy to public information and when the price fell from £1 to 88p I saw an oportunity to pay off the £66k left on my mortgage. I still retain shares. One thing I could always say about JP was that he never had a loose tongue regarding price sensitive information, try as I might to prize it from him. Another thing I could add regarding collective greed is I well remember the early days (pre-consolidation)when the SP rocketed from 6p to 66p & most of us saw profits come & sadly go without realization. That was in my mind when the price retreated to 88p. Like you say PNE, profits must be taken or else what has it all been for!
Good to hear from you & I hope you & yours are well & prospering in these uncertain times.

I'm sorry some of you guys feel that way about me....but I am still invested & very much underwater with my stake. I genuinely live in hope of some return after all these years. It's getting tougher everyday to pay the Bill's!

Happy New Year Sound investors - this time next year & all that - etc & so on...
Cheers...

Bigbench, & that's not just Christmas cool aid...that's the full 9 yards monty chrystal champas? I wouldn't want to be out of this for Xmas!
Happy Christmas all & a very Happy New Year.
Before any adverse comments, yes I am still here...like the Ghost of Christmas I have returned...bar humbug!
S'Crude...(Scrooge)...oh well, please yourselves!

Scarf, it was good whilst it lasted. I personally enjoyed my involvement with Sound . I met some super people & had a great time & travelled to Morocco twice where I clambered all over an oil/gas rig you can't get that expereince from a travel agent!!. But anyway, maybe we can be reborn, rejuvenated & revived...

Cheers...Crude

If the current spot market for gas is so high (Martin Lewes said it will be not so much a price increase to householders as a "price explosion)...then why aren't our Sound Energy booked reserves feflecting it in our SP! You might think we would have a small boost, at least. Shows how confident the market is regarding our chances of getting any gas to market any time soon. There will probably be a gas glut when we do...oh booger!

I'll second that ddboy! Ducati has always been a real trooper when it comes to finding those relevant articles.

Medar, am I supposed to live in shame? I 'lived' this share for years & years & still retain shares. I live in hope that our company will one day succeed proving it was all worth while. But in any case I have really enjoyed being a shareholder; visiting Morocco & being a guest speaker at the 'Shard'. Getting to know the management & feeling part of the company has been a real education...all we need now is a share price rise!!

Some people find a stock they adore, others find religion...I found the 'Beatles'! I am elated that I discovered the 'Fab Four' for myself. I watched that film called 'Yesterday', two years ago, & now I am addicted to the greatest band the world ever knew - The Beatles! I love all their albums & all the solo stuff from the component parts.

Anyway, I'm living pleasantly on the Sussex Downs but still waiting patiently for something to happen, here at Sound.

Cheers...Crude
