This makes little difference but Oilex is probably flecked anyway.

F*** me sideways with a yard broom. You couldn't make it up!!!!!

despite being told

Totally agree Qs. In the years before he died in 1994 my dad had finally started to talk about the war. All my life he had told me I had been named after Gordon Richards the jockey. Turned out to be a mate of his called Gordon Wonham who saved him from drowning on D day.
Later they were on a ship that was being shelled and had a job below decks loading shells to go in a lift to guns above. Dispute being told by Gordon who out ranked him, not to go, dad said something like "**** it I'm going up to see what's going on". Shortly after Gordon was killed by a shell. Dad's life was saved by being a stroppy git.
Still have a photo of him standing in front of Gordon's grave in a French war cemetery.
Yesterday, instead of a pub lunch we had a takeaway from an enterprising local cafe followed by a trip to a local beauty spot, Newlands Corner on the North Downs. Much busier than usual but we stayed in the car, Reading with a beautiful view in front. Going for a long walk today, obviously without the usual mandatory pint on the way back. Without that I might even lose some weight. Lol. Atb.

F**k me, no racing, no sport, no betting, and no pubs. May just drink all of that bottle of malt I bought today.
Latest speech by Churchill (sorry Johnson), "This was their dryest hour".
Atb.

Lol.

One of my earliest memories of racing was seeing my dad going ashen faced as he listened on the radio to St Paddy winning the 1960 Derby. The reason for that was he collected a lot of bets from building site labourers who were predominantly Irish!

Aaron. You had a far better Cheltenham than I did. Didn't back a winner the whole week. Did everything from odds on to 16/1. Still enjoyed it though. Had my first bet as a kid in the very early sixties with my dad who was a bookie when there were no legal bookies off course for the working man. Really missing it and other sports I bet on
At my age I have far more tied up in shares than is is sensible at my age. Luckily I have a decent pension income. What the hell, the sun is shining and I can still walk in the beautiful countryside. Atb. Gla.

Bit puzzled by your last two posts Conger. Seem contradictory. Presume what you mean is if the deal is really good and quick it could soar, but if it drags on and on it could be too late. Got to say, of the two, the latter seems more likely. Really hope I'm wrong about that. Atb.

Yuri. Doubt we will hear any details of the deal until it is completed. I feel it would need to be mega for it to go to 0.2. Atb.

Hi Aaron, thanks for your thoughts. Nice to hear from you. Hope you backed more winners at Cheltenham than I did. Can't believe its only a week ago. Nothing to bet on now.
Unfortunately, I am 40 years older than you and don't have the time on my side. Lol.
Don't feel that the virus is Oilex's only problem. It had already fallen due to the oil turf war between the Saudis and Russia. Really hope your previous comments about it being a great deal are proved correct. Atb. Gla

Aaron. It would be nice to hear from you and how you feel about your 60 million shares. You must be sitting on a massive loss. Atb.

They don't want the jv. They wanted out of Cambay years ago. Atb.

a couple of weeks ago we had a non news rns which caused a spike to 0.20 with a fall back to 0.17,, over the next few days. Already seems like the golden age. Lol. Atb.

It was great thanks Chesh. Ten miles starting from Ditchling Beacon. A nice pub lunch of Roast Lamb in the Jack and Jill. Goodness knows how long before I get another. Atb.

do something.

Conger. Why would they something not in their own interests!

Given the rate of cash burn by Oilex before drilling even starts it would probably make more sense to cut and run. Sell the 45% to the new jv and either use it in the UK asset or give something back to the shareholders.

It would have to be a massive offer for 15% to be worth the 5 to 6 million usd needed to drill the two Wells. Possible they could divest the 15% to lower their share of the costs to 1. 5 to 1.8 million and give them some cash as well. Depending on the offer they would still almost certainly need more cash.

Don't believe this is deliberate by gspc. They obviously expected to get bids in October and then had to extend to December, presumably because there were either no bids or derisory bids. It is now just waiting for regulatory approval,so out of their hands. Its obviously not going to be a priority now so who knows how long it will be.
It's not in the interest of gspc to delay it.
