Now has taut sails and a stiffening breeze. Only one Tit to be keelhauled this morning.

According to a United States Geological Survey (2021) Morocco has the above potential. I wonder how much of that potential might be lurking in the Guercif licence area? As of 2021 no world-class gas discovery had been made in that country. Could that be about to change?

The biggest lender to Russia’s defence companies is in free fall.

Two years ago, Promsvyazbank (PSB) was raking in cash as it bankrolled Vladimir Putin’s war machine. Now, four years after the Ukraine conflict began, it is haemorrhaging hundreds of millions of dollars. (DT) (Bad debts are crushing - Putin can't avoid economic reality - nor the end effect of crushing losses in Ukraine) I don't expect the usual suspects here to get their heads round that. Putin is burying his head in the sand as well as a whole generation in Ukraine.

Our sails are stiffening in the swelling breeze. Poetic justice about to be administered to all the negheads. If Predator was a pirate ship they’d all be keelhauled by Captain ‘No Nonsense’ Paul Griffith.

Probably not enough to put the wind up this lethargic government. Are they relying on long-range forecasts for sunnier years ahead with moderate wind that doesn’t blow their turbines down, I wonder. It’s a bit of a gamble but there is always the luck of the Irish, I suppose.

It’s unclear why Russia felt the need to announce – again – that its forces had “completed the liberation of the entire territory of the Luhansk People’s Republic,” as it calls the region.

Analysts note that the Russia Defense ministry has a habit of exaggerating advances when the frontlines are scarcely changing.

Russian gains in Ukraine slowed in the first three months of this year to about five kilometers (three miles) a day, compared to 11 kilometers in the first quarter of 2025, war monitors, including the Washington-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), report. And in some parts of the battlefield, the Ukrainians have made gains.

(Nice to have balance and nuanced reporting)

Doleful for Ireland as well as Norway makes hay while the sun shines and billions of Kroner while the oil gushes. Lucky old Norway!

'With casualties of that magnitude it comes as no surprise that Russia is looking far and wide for ways to replenish its losses, and now a new campaign seems to be aimed at recruiting soldiers who have been out of service for decades'.

After 1.2 -1.3m casualties (by all accounts) Dad's Army 'springs' into action, just dying to do their bit for Mother Russia.

Barryroe should be marketed as the sweeter greener revenue-producing security-enhancing alternative to very expensive imported shale gas and oil with insecure supply in a changed world. What objections can anyone have apart from reality-denying fanatics living in a bubble?

Looks like LG has waved goodbye to quite a few million! Not sure how many.

Barryroe in challenging terrain and not commercially viable?? Is this going to be the government's defence in court?

This all sounds like reports Putin is getting from the front. Same with Hitler. He heard only what he wanted to hear. It’s twilight time in Russia - in every way. Hitler’s unstoppable V2s at 3500mph did not beat Britain. Neither will Putin’s revenge attacks on his civilian ‘brothers’ in Ukraine win the war. Putin is the real loser.

Reports from Estonia suggest the Russian tyrant could face a power challenge dubbed 'Operation Twilight' as economic, political and military leaders turn on him to save their own wealth.

The 'Home Front' is just as dangerous for Putin. Is the 'Twilight of the Gods' being played for the second time since 1945? Do not dismiss a Wagnerian conclusion to Putin's madness. Destroy our wealth and we will destroy you. Putin must be having nightmares.

If there are seven big chicks to be hatched over 4000k2 I’ll just count the first one that breaks the shell and be mighty satisfied!!

Jimmies? There were 23 of them. They all seem to have run away, afraid of overpressured gas and a possible explosion! Even James is not trusting his luck by staying in the vicinity! Paul said ‘sooner than you think’. Are they taking him at his word for a change?

I see robots are being used in Poland to herd wild pigs away from civilisation. It would be great to see advanced Ukrainian robots doing the same with boarish Russians.

Certain parties certainly seem to have enough clout (shares and money) to manipulate and keep the share price down. I wonder how well these parties are known to each other. Of course they would not be doing this if there were the least chance that Guercif does not contain vast quantities of recoverable gas. TT provides another guarantee for them as well as us.

British Intelligence and other Intelligence services are more likely to be on the low side. Latest figure: 1300000 + for Russian personnel killed wounded or missing. Not nearly as many Ukrainians, as you would expect, given Russian tactics and Ukrainians in well-defended positions.

EC6 - boot him permanently into the Green Bin. Most of us have done so already. It is the correct treatment for our ol’ dustman.

SB need wait no longer. RTO as promised by next week, please.
