For all the shenanigans on here we should remember that we lost one of Ireland's heroes today with the death of John Hume.

Did more for the peace process in Northern Ireland than any other and was always the voice of reason.

ps200306,

You are obviously getting paranoid and pathetic if that is the best you can do.

Python:

"Python is an open source programming language that was made to be easy-to-read and powerful. A Dutch programmer named Guido van Rossum made Python in 1991. He named it after the television show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Many Python examples and tutorials include jokes from the show. Python is an interpreted language."

Why don't you revise your knowledge of it and have a laugh.

Whereas you seem to have your head in the clouds I am here making money. You may feel intellectually superior but I feel richer and, as they say, "money makes the world go round".

I was keeping it simple for your limited brain. That was just a simple item for starters. Would you like to see something more complex? And what does the output of your piece show? Sweet F.A. And who is to say you actually wrote the code?

Your items are pie in the sky whereas I like to use products in a "real world".

You can't make money out of "star gazing" or worrying about the price of houses in Stillorgan but you can out of financial modelling.

And I do so love it when your head gets stuck up your proverbial rear end.

Remember theses quotes of yours.?

*************************************
I'd still argue that the chances of a farmout are severely dented.

with low prices leading to shortages a few years later and high prices leading to gluts. This time could be terminal for PVR.

I am neither an experienced investor nor very financially literate.

Since gas prices are about a quarter of oil prices per unit energy, the oil in Barryroe contains 97.5% of the value. Of course gas is going to flow with the Barryroe oil but at such a comparatively low value it's more of an annoyance to be dealt with.

Is it "a large oil field with a gas cap or a large gas field surrounded by an oil rim"? Well, duh, yeah. One or the other. You can't really be telling porkies when you enumerate the two most likely possibilities. But the local village idiot could work out which one you're going after when the oil is worth forty times more.

*********************************

If you are so good at statistics how come you got it wrong when you said that Barryroe's oil was "worth forty times more" than the gas.

In fact the gas is worth 7% of the oil which is far more than 2.5%. You certainly got it wrong there but I was too kind to pull you up on it before. So who is to say you have not made the same mistakes on your analysis of the prices of house in Dalkey?

Yes, I am nearly an octogenarian but can you "loser" do this especially when you could not stand the heat of the computer industry and jumped?

Just to give you a snippet, here are the Timeform recommendations for today's Windsor runners.

Windsor 1640 1 Olympic Theatre, 2 Atalis Bay, 3 Uncle Dick
Windsor 1710 1 Quickstep Lady, 2 Brunel's Boy, 3 Expedient
Windsor 1740 1 Magical Ride, 2 Second Collection, 3 Belated Breath
Windsor 1815 1 Just Glamorous, 2 Daschas, 3 Spoof
Windsor 1845 1 Taawfan, 2 Alibaba, 3 Winnetka
Windsor 1915 1 Rose Grey, 2 Angel Fairy, 3 Arabian Romance
Windsor 1945 1 Eternal Prince, 2 Willa, 3 Calm Down

Similar listings for Roscommon, Naas, Haydock and Yarmouth and other statistical information but just a taster for you because I know you are like the son of an Irish mother. She wrote to her son "Dear John, I am writing this letter slowly because I know you cannot read too fast".

And if you want to see what you can do with Python financially check out this Youtube site and see what this fellow does with twelve lines of Python code. And then tell me I have a screw loose. No wonder so many people are losers when it comes to investing and "clever" people are cleaning up at their expense.

So you nerds know there is a bigger financial world out there than you think, here is a little light study for you.

I have chosen "algo trading" which does all the work for you when investing in stocks and shares. But you can choose any other "risk" activity but I know ps200306 sneered at "algo trading".

Why I mentioned multiple programming languages is because they are "tools". I ended up on Python because it is the most powerful and the best interpretative language out there giving instant results. It is called Python because the person who wrote it "liked" Monty Python and named it for a laugh but it is no laughing matter as numerous disciplines which use it can attest to.

Please note, also, how many of the presenters on these videos are of Asian background. That is why India, Pakistan and China now dominate the computer world while the lazy Westerners sit back and get "sh*t" upon.

So check all these Youtube videos and take your pick.

So, ps200306, still think all this is boring? Very few would agree with you and certainly no this long time retired old age pensioner.

It is also interesting

zephra,

When did that happen?

Obviously most of that will go over most people's heads but here is proof that computers, programming and its uses are far from boring. There is a big world out there where clever people screw the foolish out of a lot of money.

Here is Youtube to prove it.

https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=python+find+track+name+using+market_id+betfairlightweight&docid=608041019801275074&mid=0D948383B894F6C492C30D948383B894F6C492C3&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Thanks ps200306 you really made my day.

So you grabbed your handheld and looked up Python and found it was thirty years old -Wikipedia is full of that sort of information.

Then you try and be clever by posting what Python is used for by all sorts of bodies to do statistical analysis thinking you were smart. But how about it for analysing horse racing, greyhound racing, golf etc. as well as the stock market. Check out Betfair and you will see it has about thirty different sports categories you can "analyse".

So let us look at Python and Betfair. Have you ever heard of Timeform? Have you ever heard of "Dutching" and do you really know what Json is? Look it up on Wiki and it might enlighten you a "supposed" computer nerd.

So, let us look at Saturday's horse racing. How long do you think it would take you to analyse all the horse races in the UK, Ireland and the US that ran on any day of the week and pick out the top three horse in each race? Hours but Timeform can give you that information instantly and it is free with Betfair but costs about £1,000 a year if you subscribe.

Well, in about fifty lines of code I have written I can do that in less than two seconds. Can you do that?

What do you know about Betfair? A trading platform for numerous sports and activities even down to who is going to win or lose in any sport including politics and stock market analysis. You can use the standard interface or you can develop code you can write your own specific interface which does all the "work" for you which is exactly what I have done which makes it totally unique.

Note: "Betting on Financial Markets is simple on the Betfair Exchange. Browse over 5 Financial Markets bets, choose a market, such as: Non sport; Special, and then either match a bet, or set the odds and place a Financial Markets bet against others."

Do you know what "Dutching" or "Laying" are in any sport? And since you can get instant results from Betfair's interface, you can actually make a lot of money because the software will give you instant results and because it works in split second timing it is not possible to do it humanly but a computer can. Hence the "bots" or "algo trading" which you so "like".

Is that boring?

In other words, using a number of programming languages such as "C", Javascript, Python, PHP, Excel/VBA (Visual Basic/Studio),C#,Curl,Perl, Delphi,Clojure" you can access Betfair to analyse every horse race, greyhound race, golf tournament, financial market in the world in seconds.

Does that sound boring to you?

So, nerd, your comments prove you were a disaster in the computer world. The old adage, I am sure applied to you, "one good one is worth ten bad ones". I worked with both in my time and never the twain shall meet.

As for SOAP and JSon? They are API's that allow you to access Betfair without knowing what the basic code is written in. Soap was replace by Json.

So "loser" trying to be smart just proves how s

Unlike you ps200306, I had a very successful and enjoyable computer career.

In the 1980s I designed and developed a software product, which I patented, that is still used today and when I query it on Google I see it gets over 700,000 hits. Not only that but it has a Wikipedia writeup as well and it is now owned and sold by one of the top ten computer companies in the world.

I sold my interests in it before I retired and made a lot of money some of which I invested in this "dog" but which will come good in time. Most of it I put into property for my children who are all now set up in their own homes.

So I don't need a loser like you to suggest that "Now, how about stop being an argumentative chappie and turn your attention to useful endeavours." as I have plenty of endeavours.

As I mentioned, in my lockdown, I have returned to my "youth" and I have been developing software using newer computer languages such as "R", "Python", "JavaSoft" and Visual Studio converting a sports racing system I developed many years ago where the owners of the betting exchange changed their interface from SOAP to JSON. Great fun and keeps me more than interested and, I hope, will make me lots of money when it is up and running once again.

In the meantime, what do you do with yourself? Sit and scratch your navel all day?

Gone to bed, gone to ground or just gone to sleep? No response.

Just for further clarification before I leave this subject it should Providence had the option to buy 60% of that area which is identified as OPL 1 which contains the Barryroe Basel Wealden in 2015 from PSE who were hoping it contained more gas so they could continue the life of Seven Heads.

The deal fell apart and why PSE did not develop it on their own is a mystery. That is why I am surprised that Petronas are not part of the consortium.

You can read about it here.

http://www.providenceresources.com/sites/default/files/RNS%20-%20Providence%20Secures%20Exclusive%20Option%20Over%20Southern%20Portion%20of%20OPL%201%20-%20FINAL.pdf

You could not resist rising to my bait. Here is what "IT" is.

It was nice of you to supply a diagram to support your claim as to why I was "wrong" but it was the wrong diagram. Yours has nothing to do with the location of "K" It is old hat. I suggest you use instead the presentation given at the AGM and go to slide 28 where you will see that "IT" is the Barryroe Basal Wealden.

They positioned the "K" well as close to the border of their allotted territory so that the whole of the Barryroe Basal Wealden including that which stretches beyond it can be drilled from there because a good deal of the Barryroe Basal Wealden layer extends beyond the Barryroe boundary. That is why "K" is right in the "middle of it" that being the Barryroe Basel Wealden.

That is why they are talking about Barryroe being possibly a gas field with an oil surround rather than an oil field which has gas in it.

They are obviously not as stupid as you think given all your negative comments going back months which I see you have conveniently forgotten. Didn't you say at one time there was not enough gas in Barryroe to make it economical being only a "fraction" of Corrib? Do you still hold that opinion?

Go to slide 28 in the following presentation and grovel. Probably come up with some lame excuse as to why you got it wrong.

http://www.providenceresources.com/sites/default/files/july_20_agm_presentation_2019_and_operational_update.pdf

Good to see you make a b**ls of it ps200306.

You are wrong and "K" is right in the middle of it.

Check out your facts before sounding off as usual. If i said "black" you would have to say "white". But what would you expect from a failed computer "nothing".

Good luck.

Surely the reason for "K" is to prove the age old question "“S Barryroe a large oil field with a gas cap, or a large gas field with an oil rim?”

By moving to the centre, this should prove which it is one way or the other.

And since we are now concentrating on gas, hopefully it is mainly a gas field with an oil rim containing 346m barrels of oil. If that is the case, then how much gas is there as the last estimate for the gas in 2012 was not the prime object of the drill.

If they find loads of gas at "K" that will certainly kibosh those Greens.

And for our "separated" brethren you might be pleased to know that the Greens have already thrown a spanner in the government works when at a critical vote the other day two prominent Green(s) did not vote with the government. One abstained and the other voted against. On that basis, if a serious debate comes up you could expect the government to fall as the Greens have no intentions of voting "by the book".

To Eas10:

Mastermind question for 10:

If "binding term sheets" are not binding why do you have "non-binding term sheets"?

Answers on a postcard please.

Masgt

You have forgotten (or do not realise) that the SpotOn deal is two-fold. It is not only signing up six participants but it also states it is agreeing "a work schedule".

The first part is a bit like the bishop and the actress. "Would you do it for £1,000? Yes. Would you do it for £10? What do you think I am? We know what you are, we are just negotiating the price". Quick and easy.

Second part, like the short strokes takes a bit longer.

Two possible date timeframes for the survey of "K" are 1st April to 30th November 2020 and 1sr February to 30th November 2021. This has to be agreed with the partners as part of the to be agreed work schedule.

There is also an interesting addendum to the work schedule where it says " Additional environmental sampling will be conducted at a single control point approximately 7km to the eastsoutheast of the survey area.(‘Barryroe K Site Survey.") What for?

So a lot more than just signing on the bottom line and includes obviously how much and who does what.

All to be found at DCCAE if you look and read.

Second part is which ship will we use for the survey of "K" or can we still get M/V Kommandor survey vessel? lf not, we have to go back to DCCAE for approval of a new one? Where did that come from as I have never seen DCCAE insisting on being the arbiter of a survey vessel but it seems they are in this case.

"The vessel proposed to be used for the survey is the Gardline vessel MV Kommander. It is noted in the application documents that, prior to the commencement of the proposed site survey operations, the applicant may seek approval from the DCCAE to use an alternative equivalent survey vessel. " More delay if not MV Kommander.

So, as they say, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".

Unfortunately, I have been here through many an ups and downs but fortunately I have never got my rear end burned by turning my back to the fire.

There will be an obvious uplift when the consortium is named. I thought we might be on that agenda with yesterday's sudden activity as you can be sure the institutions will know about it before you and I and they will be offering "sweetners" to get the punters (like you and I to sell). But obviously others are also jumping at anything that might look like that announcement. It is supposed to be completed by the end of October but that does not mean it cannot be completed before then and announced "any day".

And if, as somebody surmised, one of the consortium should be somebody like Statoil or as it is now called "Equinor" you can be sure there will be a big heave northwards in the share price.

So here's hoping.

Bit of a splurge yesterday turned out to be a '"false dawn".

Were they just trying to get us excited or had they read my bit about "manipulation" and wanted to show us how it is done?

Even better in Dublin.

Perhaps the poor people who could not go to the Galway Races this week have put their readies into Providence. Probably a better bet than any of the "chancers" in Galway which is always a ripoff. A place to lose your shirt if you were lucky to have a shirt.

Somebody must have heard me as the share price has woken up.

I don't care about the price as I am more than happy with my Providence and Lansdowne and expect great things in the future except that I could have made a lot more money in the past if I had invested my Providence and Lansdowne in my two best shares over the last number of years; Barrett Development and Taylor Wimpey.

However, I work on the principle of that famous old poem "The Lion and Albert". If you stick your "'orse's 'ead 'andle" through my bars, I have every right to bite it off.

Here's what happened to Albert when he did that. Great old poem.

https://allpoetry.com/The-Lion-and-Albert

Isn't it amazing how this share is kept below the 5p mark.

Its like "whack a mole" where it raises the price a little for some "body" to clobber it back into its sub 5p.

It took long enough to get past the 4p barrier. I wonder will it be the same for 5p?

Did you follow the AGM meeting last Monday?

If you had you would have heard Linn say that M&A deals were not discounted. He did not clarify if that related to Barryroe through the sale of Exola, for example, or to the whole of Providence.

So, there is always the possibility your wish might come true.
