I recon there will be no dividend increase this quarter/ but I do not think that is a negative reflection. BP is still a bit of lumbering giant and takes it time on decision making. If the dividend is not increased that leaves more in the bank so to speak for the past accounting period. From what I read it looks like oil and gas will remain high for a while with some analysts saying oil in particular but gas as well will rise higher prices out of the ground. By the time end of year results come out is when I expect a divi increase with the share price having moved up a bit. Not saying this is a cash cow but it is moving in the right direction and a delay in increase gives time hopefully fo better decision making whilst the transition moves on. After all they are not under huge pressure to increase the divi. and some cash in the meanwhile may be used for other things.
I'll pull your axles off!
I own 2. what does that make me? Confused?
Well i have given up water! part of my energy saving drive and eco contribution. Wars will be fought over water in years to come. bit like O&G!!!
Glad to say I am old enough to have seen Dark side of the moon live a number of times (along with Atom Heart mother and even further back) Its the only thing that keeps me sane these days
I do hope that this will be live streamed ( but have no idea i it will) I found the last live stream quite entertaining! I also hope that NOBODY deliberately puts the judge in a difficult position requiring the Judge to rule that the last hearing the live stream has to be held further in camera. We all know that attempting to influence or contact a judge is a big NO NO. If it happens again I can only presume that this will be a deliberate attempt to interfere with justice as not only is justice to be done BUT it need to be SEEN being done
Or the legal insurance stops working. I am not convinced that ZeeM has a lot in his pot and SN has not even looked behind the sofa yet
Mad Being in England I simply do not know the reality as it is not reported upon often although GB news may well be a saviour here. I can only say that it is what the majority of the welsh people voted for. You reap what you sow, never mind the BolXXXXS and so many other song titles come to mind. perhaps the best is "when will they ever learn?"!

I can only suggest for future reference that anybody outside England then takes advantage of of the basic principle that you are entitled to a second opinion. All Gps can do this for you - it may mean that they have to look it up but they can also find out relevant waiting times. it does mean a bit of extra work for them though so good relations are helpful. The simple fact is across the UK is that Emergency treatments are about the best in the world the rest is mired in Sytems designed by MBA merchants which bear little relationships to straight line problem solving just as many of our larger Companies are. all of which costs a fortune and reduce profits. How any practitioners or company front line staff keep up beats me. Nobody seems to be able to make decisions these days

I can only concur with your view. I would suggest that any body in England (not sure how it works for the rest of the UK) uses the choose and book system. You can choose your consultant and then you book directly into their diary. You need to get your GP to organise this and most will not advertise this option but the details are on the main NHS web site. First line says "it is your right to ......) Like you I had a shoulder issue 2 week wait to see the chief medical officer to our Olympic team and a professor at that. I have recommend this system to many friends and they all seem to have very short waits. More importantly you get to see the right consultant for your problem. The days of GP's knowing who is the best at what have been over for a while I am afraid.
For those who know "The Prodigy" many will know him from our london meetings. He has had a medical emergency last week end and is still in Hospital. There is a prognosis and I am sure will be let out in a weeks time. For those that know him he is active with his mobile and facebook pages. He will however need some recouperation and ( I hope) will be taking it easy from his business for a while. As with many he has had to work very hard to keep his business alive during covid restrictions. No doubt he will be able to be a bit more active on this board soon
Wham
I was rather baiting max! You need a full understanding of Tolstoy to fully understand his quote and he did write rather large tones. Putin must have a lot of time on his hands !
Sadly not your own quote Max. So whose is it and is it relatable?
Hi Coggs
Yes but do think there is some hope. Its a bloody long tunnel and only a pin prick of light but at least the Company is still alive and I do not know even why but it is. Hope springs eternal
Good to have to back Prod
Whilst we are not out the woods yet there is certainly a little bit of light at the end of the tunnel. What is just as important to to is that going back some years we called our selves a "band of brothers" all with a positive out look and giving helpful comment to each other. It made it a pleasure to log onto this site and we all went a bit outside the remit on this site on a little bit of our own personal lives -both the ups and downs - and relevant comments, humour and banter abounded us, I certainly remember when I had a health problem the messages of support really did cheer me up when I was in a dark place. For good reason this rather dropped off until very recently, some people dissapeared etc. It certainly seems to me that this band of brother is reforming with on or to new people with very valuable contributions and other learning a lot about a complex industry. I look forward to trying to fathom out about the benefits of what choke size to use to solve a particular problem ( not quite there yet) simply because it means we are producing hydrocarbons.
As I have have said we are not there yet ( some of us may not even make by the time it happens!) But a rising tide lifts all ships and I am for one grateful for this spirit of camaradary retuning to this board. Who knows we may all meet up somewhere for an almighty Pxxx up with no expense spared in the future. Here's to to you all,bottoms up and splice the mainbrace!!
In the mean time back to the more serious stuff.
Zibs did not only present himself representing share holders as well. Please correct if wrong
Looed. once again many thanks for your work.I can only presume that this is good news (I am no expert) whist other matters are sorted out one way or the other as long as we survive that long! There just may be a little bit of light with the views expressed at the G7 regarding that part of the world in general and Uncle Sams distrust of both Russia and now china which has to be a carrot and stick towards georgia. Georgia states it wants to join western facing organisations and the G7 wants to keep the general area under its wing. I can only see using inward investment as part of the carrot being helpful as long as it happens ( the stick being sanctions)
I was concerned that during the visable court case ZeeM did state he had been talking to both the Russians and the Chinese. This may be desperate move but this may have been a surprise to SN. I can not any Texan want anything to do with what will be viewed as the Communist Block Only my personal opion
From memory so I could be wrong the Judge only has one ability to extend the TRO which so far has not been used, however if both parties agree than it can be extended which seems the case here so the judge if it ever goes that far has one option still in hand.
This is as pathetic as the war on bangers with basically the french and the germans twisting all the other members of the Eu arms up their back based upon dogma rather than trying to run a company in difficulties
Mr Mole
I am out my depth here so it is a complete guess. I also think it will be too late for this case but might work in another of the follow on cases if they happen. Do we have any body who has "right of audience" in any of the jurisdictions? If we have the I can see no reason for them to inform any judge of share holder interest. Just a wild guesss
