I'm not sure 'the deal is on,' Manyana.
Maybe, if the transfer is completed before PVR signs an arrangement with another party, but is that likely?

'If we crash out with "no deal"'
(JTF)

Latest talk is that the Queen will dismiss Bojo if he tries to do that.
I suppose he would then be dragged, kicking and screaming, from Number Ten, insisting that he is still PM, to suitable padded accommodation.

It would make a good movie, but reality could be very different.

Incredible!

We're still getting conspiracy theories about the transfer being an invention.

Unless the money appears very soon, PVR will have to raise it elsewhere, but to say the money was never sent is tantamount to accusing HSBC of lying!

It's getting close to four months since SOU announced it would market Tendrara.

One of SOU's directors (I think I remember which one, but last time I got it wrong and one poster took the opportunity to create a ridiculous digression, accusing me of all manner of things, so I'm not going to identify the director) was reported to have predicted that the closing date for submission of bids would be well before 31 October.

Taking these facts together, it is difficult to believe that that date has not yet passed.

If so, and if the bids were so derisory that the BOD couldn't bring themselves to recommend any of them to shareholders, we would surely have been so informed by now.

I deduce therefore that reasonable offers have been made, although that does not mean that all investors would recover all their losses in the event of a successful bid.

Of course, I could be wrong and the deadline is some time this week, or the bids are not reasonable and the BOD are trying to get better terms in order to save face, but the fact that we haven't heard anything for so long suggests to me that a deal is still possible.

'The technical fundamentals suggest a price around 40p to 60p for the TE-5 ‘cluster’ alone and assuming zero for the rest.'

Are you saying you expect a bid of 40-60 based on TE-5 alone, with the rest valued at zero?

Or did you mean something else?

I take it, Exploration, that you don't buy the prevailing view that, outside of TE-5, Tendrara consists of Welsh valleys devoid of gas and that the ten plus majors are discussing with Rothschild the going rate for valleys?

Daltry - It is probably best to go the the OP's name and read it from there before writing your reply.

Chuckle of the day, though.

Not sure exactly why the said Carnegie disappeared.
He certainly was an annoyance.
He claimed that he alone among us could divine the secrets of HUR's market movements, which involved 'dark pools,'
declaring that he had no intention of sharing his insights with us mere mortals, and that he intended alone to profit from them.
My impression was that, like so many posters on LSE, he had zero interest in this company or its success.
His sole interest was in share price movements.
His last words were 'Anyway, I'm out,' which more or less sums him up.
Perhaps he moved on to Bitcoin trading.

That's right, Double: every weekend, I get out of the freezer, ice myself down, check my temperature, crunch my way to the bathroom and get my temperature up.

Wish it were that easy to get HUR's SP out of the 40s.

I have a feeling LSE measure share prices in Fahrenheit, not Celsius.

Can't wait till Monday, when we will hear that the company is exploring alternative financing.

Sorry to digress, but after getting out of my freezer about two hours ago and shaking myself down, I couldn't get to post a comment till now.
I had been logged out and must have tried logging in about 20 times before finally succeeding.
So, if you don't hear from me for a long time, that's why.
Either that, or I will have died of boredom from spending years watching HUR in the 40s.

How mercenary can you get, Trellis - in it for the rum?
I'm musical too, including singing and piano, so I suppose JTF and I could perform a rendition of Monty Python's Spam Song, but I'm not sure I could summon up the necessary joie de vivre with the share price at 8p.

Presumably, from Tuesday onwards, TOR will no longer need to rise at 4.30 a.m. and, if what's left of his reputation is insufficient to justify his continued employment at PVR, he may not need to rise at all in the morning.

Does that mean, Your Reverance, that you will be bringing wafers with you, too?
If so, what flavour?
I would prefer chocolate, if it's possible.
But I think you're missing my point about moving the drinks bar: I would have to remove it altogether in order to accommodate Your Reverence.
Hope you're not planning to bring the verger with...

'Just felt it would 'read' better that way '

We are trained to act in accordance with the LAW, JK.

Feelings do not come into consideration.

I agree with you, Double, that there's no falling knife, but am suspicious as to why you want to rent part of my intelligent freezer.

As I said, I'm planning to set the timer to defreeze when the first bid comes, whereas you have stated categorically that you intend to sell most of your holding when the price hits 100p.

I fear that if I sub-let part of the freezer to you (which in any case would involve removing the drinks bar) we could be freezing at cross purposes.

I see what you're getting at, JK: ' ... in that we view ...,' but I think you're wrong, because 'in that' is said by way of explanation, whereas I was making a simple statement, 'correct that...'

You could insert a comma in between 'offence' and 'as,' if it will make you happy, BBT.

I note, however, that the full-stop is missing from your quotation, whereas it is present in the original.

Assuring you of the highest standards of grammar at all times.

Thank you for your appreciative comments, your reverence.

Far be it from me to correct a man of the cloth, but may I suggest that in future you include a hyphen in your exquisitely-chosen expression, 'syntactically-challenged'.

You are, of course, correct that we view crimes against syntax just as seriously as crimes against grammar.

No one is above the laws of grammar and syntax - and that includes the management.
