Sorry to hear about your dad Richard. My condolences to you and your Mum.

Lord Lucan has talked the talk. Now it's time for him to walk the walk. If he really meant what he said about communicating, he will provide us with a no-bullshit, clearly-worded, HONEST summary of where we stand with all three wells and what the plans and approximate timetables for them are. We would prefer getting a straightforward report, including problems, delays, poor council relations, etc, than a dribbling of vague, non-detailed generalisations doing their best to sound positive and which raise more questions than they answer. GIve us a clear honest appraisal, and ten to one the sp reacts positively, even if all the news in it isn't 100% rosy. Go on George, give it a try - I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the reaction.

Looks like our buyers were "hopers", not "knowers". I would have preferred knowers, but what can you do.

Not great but better than YA. And despite the message I did like the tone of the RNS.

Half-year numbers should be coming in a month or so, which may shed a bit of light on the financial situation.

Thanks Bob!

Bob, that blue frame they're erecting on the left-hand side, what do you think it will eventually house?

Eggchaser - a wonderful story! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yes, but don't forget the cost of separating out all that oil.

A more interesting question at the moment is who the sellers are. LTHs who see the sp stalling here and want to get out before it falls back to 1.60? May be a case of losing hope at exactly the wrong time.

This market is a nice test of what sort of buyers were active these past couple of weeks. If they were just hoping for a good jorc, they're probably now going to just sit and wait. But if they know something we don't know, they'll probably take advantage of the price dip to add to their positions. I usually only bet on sure things (at least that's what I tell my wife) so I wouldn't want to guess which it will be. But if you forced me to guess, I wouldn't be surprised to see buyers coming back very soon.

Bob - no, we live in a flat with no garden. So we're condemned to use the supermarket and the local fruit and veg man, but to be honest, his stuff isn't too much better than the big stores.

Thechaser - thanks for the tip!

Bob, whichever tomatoes you grow, I'm sure they will taste great. I'm stuck with Dutch hothouse tomatoes from the supermarket that taste of nothing. The last time I ate a tomato that tasted like a tomato was many, many years ago. Same goes for chicken. I won't even try to grow my own because any plant I touch seems to die. I just have to look at a tomato plant and it will wither before your very eyes. (Don't worry - no plans to come North any time soon. lol.)

This is beginning to look like it may be something more than speculative nibbling hoping for a good jorc. Give me a few more days of increased trade sizes, rising volumes and of course rising prices and I'll start to think that a select group knows for certain that a very nice jorc or perhaps a JV announcement is coming soon.

Looks like someone carefully building up a position. Now is it a guesser or a knower?

Nice to see some nibbling here. Shows more the signs of spec buying hoping for a good JORC RNS, than buying by those who know there's a good JORC coming, but it could be the advance guard of the latter just testing the waters. I would guess that the cautious big buys are the same buyer, but who knows. In any case, I stick by my reason for buying now - there's a far greater upside potential here than downside risk (although that equation obviously changes as the sp creeps up). I've stuck with Kazera through thick and thin - now it's time for some good "thick", which I still think is coming whenever GC is ready to share it with us.

Please keep posting photos. If you make the odd quid on it, that's fine with me. You're just being paid for providing a public service. But let's keep it clean, ok?

The blue and red is meaningless. But if you look just at the prices around a trade, you can figure out which are buys and which are sells in about 80-90% of the trades.

Music to my ears, George! The part about shareholder communications just confirms what I said earlier today: prepare for a string of operational RNSs. Wouldn't be surprised to see one this week.
