Hook line and sinker as I remember from his pre-Green Cage days. He’s been there a very long time. I recall nothing but the usual Putin platitudes from him and the others.Ukraine no more belongs to Russia than Portugal belongs to Spain. Simple as that.

Jonas Gahr Støre finds himself in an unenviable situation. The prime minister of Norway must govern in a fragmented parliament after his Labour Party secured re-election – but with only 28pc of the vote.

He currently depends on ad-hoc support from the Red Party, the Greens and the Centre Party. Yet the big story of the election was the surge of the Right-wing Progress Party, which came second with 24pc.

Progress has been outspoken in its opposition to interconnector cables, pledging to renegotiate the trading arrangements with Britain and Germany.

Are you listening, UK and Ireland? ( 0.08% and 0.008% of global emissions respectively)

Very welcome statement. We need to remain competitive, so we need lower prices for electricity, so we need cheaper (and cleaner) gas for quite a long time.

Given our climate, gas is perhaps even more fundamental than water! Anyway, glad he has put both on an equal footing. Perhaps this statement comes as no surprise to certain CEOs after all those private meetings in the early summer?

I think Putin is following Macron in regarding NATO as brain dead (c. 2019 remark). Perhaps its demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Jimmy signed off on the 30th of August with a '?'. Very questionable character indeed.

If the Government says it doesn't want private LNG then that should be the end of the Shannon LNG project.

"If the Government says it is fine with private LNG then it makes a nonsense of its policy that says LNG is only needed as an emergency reserve.”

It is interesting, indeed! Just where does the government stand?

Is there not a High Court decision due this month which could scupper this? May be wrong about that.

It could be a real corker, I must add.

No excuse for bottling it now!

Ryan will take comfort that his fanatical buddy Ed M is still in post. Same moral cowardice as in Irish government circles. The governments in Norway and New Zealand don’t suffer from that malady when it comes to doing what is right, pragmatic, reasonable and sensible for their people now.

Where is his energetic counterpart with a sense of oorgency in the Irish government? Mañana, mañana. Maybe the penny will drop as electricity prices rise.

No holds barred all-in scrapper might be a knockout with the electorate.

Wilco is so inconsequential I cannot ever remember putting him in the Green Cage. Maybe AI did it for me. It has its uses, clearly, in rejecting the substandard and weeding out those that do not measure up. It would be nice to have it doing its work quietly in the background.

It has amazed me that the SA for Corrib South was not granted months ago. (Even Ryan seemed to be on the brink of awarding it when it suddenly dawned on him that the next election was already lost!!) I believe Barryroe may have complicated the situation. Could they award one and not the other without making successful legal action even more likely on the extra grounds of discrimination? Solution: prepare the ground and award both simultaneously?

Moral cowardice and wokery at play, of course. Even the police in England are afraid of getting on the wrong side of that crew - like the new leader of the Green Party there who thoroughly approves of Linehan's arrest! Shoplifters on the other hand are probably hard-done-by paupers whose trauma and blood pressure should not be increased by arrest.

What a glorious translation from their native Kazakh (a Turkic language) by Google!

If you pay 8 cents on AIX that is the equivalent of 5.92P. Almost a 50% disconnect?

I take it then that CS is in the best of rude health, or he would have sold at 65P or so long ago!

Nov.2020 - 293 guesses with median value of 134P = midpoint value, not the higher average. Is there a possibility that the masses have got it wrong and we will only get 65-70P? That would make a very acceptable consolation price/prize!

I think CS is holding out for more than 50% of 134P! The war is coming to an end and PGM prices are on the up and up - every reason to hold and put the buyers under increasing pressure. Stampede in the end in a few months’ time?

If it is awarded I suppose the deathly quiet Goodmans would sell it on to the highest bidder. They are not by nature or calling oil barons. Is that a real problem for the Government? Anybody but the Goodmans? Meantime what about Ireland’s real problem?

Doubts about a relaxed PG’s strategy are melting like snow off a ditch. Even Jimmy must privately agree, no matter what he says publicly. Sound Energy did not have a man of his class at the top, unfortunately for its shareholders.
