Trellis - I play the piano. Grade 8 achieved at 19 years old. Hardly play these days though as keyboard locked away and pianos sold. Wasted talent. I'm more of an opera singer these days. Twins? Yes indeed. A pair of De Vito's though.

Did somebody mention Bollinger? Reminded me that I have a rogue bottle of the stuff still sat in my bedroom waiting for the LE. Hurry up therefore, Parsons. The boozing needs to begin. As to when it will end? You better ask, Trellis. The only Bollinger that I'm interested in, Partridge, is the stuff I can swig and gargle.

Enjoy the weekend one and all as we ponder the continued radio silence coming out of Sevenoaks. Hmm.

Parcels already wrapped, Gaspunter but thanks for the offer of being my parcel wrapper. There may be a rogue place on the Board at Chuckle if you continue with your flattery. Your expertise in paper airplane-making may be of use to the guys down in Sevenoaks who are just waiting for the deadline date to pass.

We could all be waiting until early January 2020 to hear what the next news is, assuming the "marketing process" is expected to conclude by year end. To me that means that the marketing process is going to drag on right up until the end of the year and into early next IMHO. SOU aren't the best for keeping to strict deadlines as of late. Parsons wouldn't want to ruin anybody's Christmas by landing a nasty RNS in our laps. Or could it be that this time has been used to finalise the GSA / Heads Of Agreement Document? Ideally, it would be useful to have that in hand for whoever the new owner of our Eastern Moroccan assets is. However, I also acknowledge that the new owner can do this themselves. The radio silence continues for now...GLA

Tableleg,
You must be a one legged table. Unstable and rocky. Trellis is entertaining and you my friend need polishing and varnishing to bring out the shine. You and your fellow disciples can apologise to us when the fateful RNS lands with a "no deal" Souxit.

Gaspunter,

I was only teasing you. Don't take what I say to heart, mate. You stick to your planes. You know what you are talking about when it comes to planes. I couldn't even make a decent paper airplane let alone design / sell one although with present technologies, our aircraft are somewhat primitive. Once you fully comprehend anti gravity, you will know what I mean.

Good to read Trellis' thoughts as he gulps his way through the remnants of his wine cellar. It always brings a smile to my face reading his wine anecdotes. No wine for me tonight. I went for a curry and had water. I've started my diet but tonight the diet was put on hold....again.

ps200306 - the man who has filtered everybody apart from himself. The only messages he sees are the ones he writes so he only has himself to argue with. And he has the gall to call me a "lunatic". You couldn't make it up if you tried!
If we don't manage to get circa £1 per share come the LE then Parsons has failed us and ultimately himself with all these shares he has amassed.

This bb would be boring without my hilarious observations and my soothsaying skills.

Good post, Testpack. However, my "going long" theory is not just based on radio silence. It's from being let down time and time again by the SOU BOD who promise the earth but deliver nothing. I can't see them ever changing and will keep their noses in the money trough for as long as they need to / can do.

Jacklevi,
Fine. That is your opinion. You are in the camp who believes that we will have a LE hopefully before year end or thereabouts! I am in the camp who believes we will be forced to "go long." The point is, at this stage in time, nobody is right and nobody is wrong until we receive the next bout of news. Our musings are merely conjecture and guesswork based on fact or raw emotion or sometimes both! We are a collection of soothsayers at present because we are being subjected to radio silence and none of us are to blame for that.

Jack,
No I still believe that a successful LE should IMHO see a price per share of circa £1. I have not deviated from this belief and won't either. Others think that 40p is fair. We all have a differing opinion I guess. I have also given my share price predictions for if we "go long" too, which only a few people on here have dared mention. If people don't like my comments then filter me. Simples. I don't expect everybody to agree with what I have to say, but I have called it right with Te-9 and Te-10 and I was one of the only ones to recommend that we did no drilling and that we sold for £1 per share prior to Te-9. I was slaughtered on here for saying that, but in hindsight it looks like I called it right.

whosthedaddy,
It's because there is a perception that Crude is closer to Parsons than the rest of us. That's why some people may have bought in. If Crude is feeling positive, which he has been for the vast majority of the last 10 years, then why wouldn't somebody else share this optimism? It's just human nature. We all want a piece of what's good and try and discard anything that is bad in our lives.

At the end of the day, people should always do their own research and only you can decide on what is right. People can spend their money as they so wish. Anybody who is making buying and selling decisions based on what they read on a bb or across the various social media platforms ought to exercise caution. I was guilty of that once but these days I am uber cautious to the point that my spending on shares has for the time being stopped.

The company tweeting this morning is very powerful. They wouldn't have bothered saying anything if they had an ounce of uncertainty because Andrew doesn't ramp. He's calm and collected and pragmatic. He'll say something when something needs to be said and when it doesn't he won't. This is very refreshing when compared to other CEO's who will constantly ramp their company and position.

I wouldn't book a holiday with them let alone buy shares.

Just a cheeky bottle of Pinot Grigio for me tonight. All this talk of wine has left me feeling rather thirsty. Good to see my Head of Alcohol and Head of Positivity exchanging kind words. Wine seems to unite us all.

Gaspunter,
You sound like Rodney from Only Fools And Horses with his CSE in Art or something like that. I did Russian GCSE in 3 weeks when at Warwick School. So what? I'm happy for you that you found your niche. Get on the blower to the OU and do a course in pizza flipping or spam fritter frying. If and when Jobbs hands his notice in at Chuckle Energy then you can take his place as my Chief Spam Fryer. I think you have all of the attributes I'm looking for. Hardly any qualifications is one of them.

Gaspunter,
Give it a break would ya?! Jesus H Jones. I get it OK? I think you should go and get yourself a degree and then you could maybe put this argument to rest. I retired 6 years ago OK? What don't you understand by that? Eh? I am a Private Landlord and derive the bulk of my income from property. Ebay is just a side hobby, which I enjoy and do well at. It has given me a vast knowledge and appreciation of many items e.g. art glass, pottery, camera equipment, books and vintage toys etc. Half of the enjoyment I get is researching the objects that I find so that I build-up my knowledge about them. Would you rather I sit around and do nothing with my time? I am a victim of my own success I guess! That's why I dwell above a chip shop sipping on cheapish Muscadet. Hence why I intend spending some time with Trellis so that my knowledge in wine increases.

Good post, Dark Energy. Some well made points for consideration. Thanks for your polite message.

I agree, Trellis. This is turning, or will be turning, into another Brexit scenario: on one side of the fence will be the Remoaners who with their typically high averages of 50p+ will be living in fear of the LE deal falling short of their share price average. Most of these won't want to witness a loss of money so will probably opt to "go long" in the hope that a future drill can bring some much needed success and thus theoretically cause the share price to head northwards. Then there are the Souxiteers who with their relatively lower share price averages (single figures) who will be happy with a few bags return on their investment and will take the money and move on. In short, if/when a deal is presented to us, people will be voting a simple 'yes' or 'no' to it based on what their share price average is. Of course, there are always some who will sell out at a loss in order to recoup some much needed funds. Parsons has access to the register and will have an idea of what price to pitch the deal so that it has a good chance of being accepted by the majority of investors. Hence why my belief still remains that a LE pps of around £1 would make sense in order to satisfy the majority of stakeholders. Only time will tell as to whether or not we (a). receive a credible deal from a prospective buyer that is presented to us and; (b) should we receive a deal, whether or not it is accepted by investors and passed. #excting times apparently.

I never did say Oxford Brookes was in the same league as Oxford University. Of course it isn't. However, Oxford Brookes is a very good University and you shouldn't mock it. I recall when I was there it was one of the lead Universities in Planning and Architecture, which was something that was contained in one of my degrees. I also hold a Music degree.

Gaspunter,
You really are a terrible bore aren't you? Thanks for enlightening us about the history of Grammar Schools and University placings. You don't need to justify yourself to me or anybody else. I have a degree and you clearly don't. I suggest you get on the blower to Open University and do a degree in pizza flipping or something of that ilk.

Chipandputt?

Maybe you'd like to earn you newly found job title and put an end to the fun and games coming out of Sevenoaks?

I say he and his cronies should stay to the bitter end as I will be and many others. He doesn't leave until he has delivered on his promise of a decent LE. None of this 40p stuff either. I want to see a pps of £1 or certainly approaching that figure should there be a LE any time soon or at all for that matter. 40p ain't going to keep me in spam for very long.
