POQ should continue sitting in the office and talk to those who want / can talk to him, if they want. It seems a waste to fly there until the government is pro drilling. Did pick up over 200,000 the last couple days. POODS

Yes, we did see that movie, which seemed enjoyable to us, but did not do particularly well in the theatres. Nice story and great actors…..go figure. Like FOG : go figure. POODS

This interpretation by Tracey Boyes is first rate and for those worried David ? (forgot his last name) is a missing link in Origins' abilities to discern what next, please sit back and wait as many of us for many years. The seller is still there but playing the market a little. POODS

I tried to buy 500k shares the other day at 6.50p and was quite surprised I ended up with just 100 shares!

The discussions this morning are mostly rehashed to me but certainly offer POQ an opportunity to comment. Unfortunately, Origin does not want to say more than they need to which I understand and POQ can't help with their approval and feeding him the words. Geology is not what he was trained to be. So, the selling continues and I will try to add here but surprised the seller did not hit by bid. Good luck to us long termers! POODS

amen!!

Fair question you ask, but think POQ after continually destroying value with mostly worthless noise, finally realized what I told him years ago, i.e. "Shut the FU?", was excellent advise. So, like it or not, he has essentially gone silent but not away. At least he got part of it right. I am still looking to add and think getting near that point. I wish one of you were able to learn how much stock is still be sale and put together a final trade to clean the seller up. Those of you closer to the trading than
me might see what you can find on that topic. In the meantime, today I turn 75, my wife is gone and being on this board this morning shows you how low things can be. POODS

Greenlanteren64-
The simple answer is 7p. so not much. Think about a reasonable upside if POQ quits along with the board and Origin oversees the situation with an overseer and shareholder representatives. My granddaughter who is about to turn 5 years old can handle the books, as she knows her numbers and alphabet and receives no allowance yet. POODS

All-

In my many years in the investment business, today's announcement about spending $13,000 or so to plug and abandon is a good follow up to my last epistle. There must be considerable shareholder pressure on POQ to issue this P & A announcement. $13,000!!!!!!!!! ; give me break. I hope someday a business school writes this up as a case study. Even if we are so fortunate to eventually make something, the number of financial insults this board has imposed on its shareholders is a new low, but then again we can perhaps thank Mr. Bruner for setting the example? POODS

All-
Thought a little humour was in order this morning as POQ and gang continue to pour salt into our collective wounds. "On a stack of bibles, I do swear I was not awarded any FOG options and suspect none of my deserving chat friends were either." If I am incorrect and one of you fortunate "Devils" got options, please raise your hand to be congratulated and share your tale of triumph to the lower class shareholders. POODS

No need to pounce, be patient and let it come to you. POODS

RE: Would be good to have some positive news

Very good summary for those who do not know the history. Thank you POODS

tnbird-

I wanted to thank you for the little NPV valuation for fellow shareholders. In my opinion a fair discount from your $0.42 cents would be a trading price of half that in today's market. The difference between ~ $0.20 and today's price might be the uncertainty of what or what we could call the "POQ factor". POODS

You are the master of the understatement and I quote you "The only requirement to be a member of FOG's BOD is that you have to have lost your capacity for being embarrassed when others critique your performance". POODS

Camelot1-
In the U.S. if POQ "had a deal in the bag" as you say and did not disclose it to shareholders on a timely basis, i.e.very soon, he would be subject to severe legal question. Perhaps, the rest of the world security regulators are not so tough. That said, the fact POQ has exercised his option, as you point out, after all this time is either a "tip to the wise" or something else. Let's hope for a change, he gets it right this time. POODS

WetWater-

Thank you. I initially was concerned when David? left Origin to go to I think Santos? Questions are an indication of the number of years that has passed and my age. In any event, following David's departure there were several events in the drilling process that gave me comfort they were on their toes. POQ is something else, but probably is qualified to repeat what he is told by Origin. POODS

BCnatgas-
Thanks for your note, but think I might respond a little differently. The Origin drilling experience is part of the oil and gas business; as the bumper sticker says "**** Happens". We do not know enough to say the operators have done a good or bad job; at least I have not heard anyone with the true facts as opposed to opinions expressing understandable frustration. My fault is not this, nor the unfortunate political spats we have encountered. The fault is with our board who seem to find POQ the perfect manager based on his compensation. That is where my frustration is and to a lesser extent, we have a CFO, who I suspect is a fine lady, but POQ apparently is a CPA and could collect the 8-10 envelopes that come in each month and walk them over to the the firm's accountants. He wouldn't even need to (God forbid) open his ledger / journal and make the entries a child could make if taught. I hope that makes clear to those who wonder what is my concern. POQ enjoy the club POODS

"People are starting to give up on it due to incompetence from management".
SEEMS I MIGHT HAVE MENTIONED THIS A FEW TIMES!!!!!!!!POODS

AMEN. POODS

newtofo-

Part of getting better. Thanks

POODS

All,

Thought it worth responding to those who wonder if I am still walking? Yes, that I am doing , a little better each day as my wife's' ashes rest near me. Hardest thing I have ever had to endure; makes the FOG sage look like "pulp fiction" for those of you who know the literary term.

I did want to say the commentary of late in this chatroom is a credit to the several of you who really understanding both the technical issues and and the seeming fiscal mismanagement being inflicted on shareholders. Perhaps not all agree with this assessment. More importantly, while painful to watch the hairpulling drilling results, we appear to be watching Origin learn as one often does in drilling in a new structure. They can look at previously drilled analogous structures, but the truth is they rarely are are identical when you get to the fine details. For my "two cents" I believe we are creeping toward a just reward for our collective pain of waiting. I have even giving some thought to adding as the seller continues to sell out to the extent the market can absorb their shares. So, let me end here and wish each of you a good year and a successful new field of dreams! POODS
