….. Only joined this board a couple of days ago (I was forewarned it was highly prone to backstabbers irreverently venting their spleens publicly).

So I’m off - until they are routed out by the admin.

Maybe us IOCs trying to work In the region should stump up for their salaries….. at least for the few that actually go to a job.

God lookin’ gal - but dubious work experience and mediocre quals add up to the wrong person to be running a frail and wavering little Country’s economy……so we will all suffer ultimately.

Get a hard ass’d, tough as nails, brought up on the front line of accounting and economic survival, studying at night school while bringing up a familly c and we might, just might recover.

We have all met them……. where are they hiding ?

Agreed - dumping a premium asset like Castrol (at this time of a rumoured takeover) is tantamount to lunacy….. as was doggedly buying back £2 billion worth of our own shares on a daily basis and then not cancelling them.

Maybe wiser to selectively sell off some of our retail outlets (and that would cut staffing numbers too)…..we seem to be stuck too deeply in the groceries business !

So ….. do we now market via SOMO as soon as the taps to the ITP are ceremoniously opened - and thereafter can expect regular, full monthly payments ?

Only concern is how the local warlords will receive their regular birthright share of our product ?

Maybe I’m being overtly cautiously pessimistic - after the years of plunder and lies.

Oh well, opinions are opinions - but should not wander into the realms of slander.

Putup has given us consistently auditable input over the years (even if a bit pessimistic).

Comforting to read that we have over 1/2 billion shares tucked away safely in Treasury.

I’m naive enough to assume that there is coverage in our contract to address interest due on outstanding amounts ?

If so - what would that come to (to date) in your calculations ?

I’ve had to remove my socks to try to keep up with all this crunching of numbers and ego’s ….. but where do you accounting acrobats account for the long and longer debts still owed to us (+compounded interest), and what’s APIKUR (or whoever they are) going to collect our dues ??

If they can sort out a means of allowing local pilfering to give the usual suspects some cream off the top (to lubricate signing fees) - then I have a warm feeling that valves will soon be opened.

GLALTHs.

Shipping tons of biscuits to the meeting venue as I write this…..

Boom time here at Baghdad Biscuits ;))

New brand being introduced - MustafahMallows - palm sized (to facilitate accurate throwing) at any delegate who rejects the motion to recommence exporting.

Poor Elliot - didn’t that time their investment tragically ?

Just shows that the professionals get it oh so wrong too….. so what chance do we mere mortals have ??

OK the Stateside rumour generated a bit of action on the NYSE - so the ‘Good OL Boys’ plundered a few bucks to supplement their Summer holiday bonuses (and buy their mates in The Fake News business a few juice BBQ steaks).

Back into the Doldrums for us again.

More meetings = More biscuits……..so at least one of my Kurdish investments is flurishing 🤗

Sorry - last para refers only to Kurdistan oil fields.

We haven’t heard the last of this ME cauldron - and oil will soon again go triple digit prices. It’s all about supply and demand.

The attacks on Iran were a given, following Israel’s promises and actions, so Iran’s ‘Supreme Leader’ and his disciples not in any way stupid…. and of course they have hoodwinked the AEA inspectors and smuggled away a few hundred kilos of nearly nuke grade uranium - which will now be centrifuged up to weapons grade in a co-vert processing location (on a supertanker, under their parliament or a maternity hospital…. whatever).

Trump is playing with grownups who are on a higher level, and they have taken steps to ensure they have still have nuke bargaining chips to bring to the table.

We really need the pipeline contract openly renegotiated in the Autumn - and preferably monitored via SOMA to cut out our local masters pilfering their usual share - to allow us a fighting chance to take part in the coming OP bonanza after Trump has wiped out Iran’s Oil and gas fields as punishment for telling porkies - and luring him into wasting 14 bunker busters and looking a World fool yet again.

«Local sales price» ?

I suspect a prominent local familly was road-training our produce over the border to Trump’s favourite uranium processing land - for onward sales to the mysterious East.

DJT won’t let that game continue if lasting peace doesn’t.

From longterm memory it was around $400 mil after barefaced ramping & pumping….. but his wife got the lion(esse’s) share (probably for keeping her mouth contained about what really went on) following the divorce and subsequent imprisonment for The Great Man.

He did warn that «not many will still be around when the goose eventually lays».

Someone with perfect recall please confirm……

C’mon Donald - TELL them to open the pipeline before Hormuz gets closed.

Maybe time to pressure Turkey into opening a pipeline….. alternative would be a mine in Hormuz wiping out someone’s supertanker.

That might cause The Donald to wipe out anything Iranian (or proxy) that floats.
