Interesting, OT. I see he did a stint with Bab---k at Appledore. Hence the"back down the yard" bit.
Though Naval may be his thing, the company he works(worked) for is a bit more than just Naval.

And that address for OSD has come up before as I recall looking at it for another reason linked to Harl.
I recongnise it as it's on a cut through to the bank near Bideford Libary and remember thinking to take a look if i'm that way. Hmmm?

Not that I care, just bored. Sooo... they must have managed to get some of them from Croft to allow those that took up the offer to sell theirs. So they obviously haven't just vanished. As much as some like to create a conspiracy out of thin air I would imagine that the offer may have slowed things up a bit. But again, just adding more speculation.
" legal action", oh Moany. lol :)

Bring back Nas, our favourite IM resident. Far more entertaining, imo. :)

Don't tell him Pike! :)

Chitta, sorry if comes across that way. No offence intended. More tongue in cheek than ridicule. Though that could be interpreted as the same thing, I guess.
I will admit that I do find your reasoning for some of the connections in the back story a little hard to grasp. Mostly as it relies on a lot of these past events being controlled by some entity with some sort of very, very, long game.
And for it to all work, as you say, it would require them to have some degree of control in various govermental departments. Both in the UK and NI.
To me at least, it's just taking totally unconnected parts and weaving them into something that fits together. To many working parts, imo. But, you could be right. Who knows? Not me, for sure.
Again, apolgies, I will endeavour to be more respectful in future. :)

FWIW, seismic data. Someone having a nosey into what they got from the test drills, I guess. As far as I'm aware I don't think they did anything with what they found. Or at least nothing worth annoucing. Chitta seems to think they found something important and have been sat on it for the past seven years. Oh, as well as instigated the coup, installed their own man on the board, having a controlling influence in the Gov. and DAERA, and have links to an African gas supply. Just waiting for it all to fall into place, then BOOM! ;)

Old habits, BP. :) And maybe a bit of FOMO, if I'm being honest, just on the off chance that something comes out of the blue. Did reduce by 80% though. Until the results are published. Will then decided what to do.

Chiite (sp), no, to be fair, you haven't been proved wrong, as yet. Then neither has the chance of life on Mars. :)
A credible reason? They misrepresented just how "shovel ready" the project was. And kept going, in the hope no one would notice.
At this point in time, who paid for the two seismic data release agreements in 2015/2016 for a total of £900K, has no relevance, to anything. imo.
Killik- taking a punt?
18 months at the helm- and did what. The man is a serial BoD member with a large list under his belt.
And ,if it turns out you are right, I'll eat Dawski's hat.

Yeah, could be. Never one to miss the chance of a day out for some PR . Shame it can't be transfered into the day job. :)

JT, OT. ;)

Thanks Columbo.
Oh, "just one more thing", regards to the Wife. :)

Maybe they are working on a cure for fat fingers? ;)

FWIW, What you say in your last sentence Avy was my take on the situation as well. Waiting for something to wrap them in.
A good old s hit sandwich.

Personally, I gave up on IM a while ago. And TBH, I think the BoD have too and are just going through the motions until the problem is taken off their hands. Be that through the issues the JR might bring to light or it's sold to some other mug.
Right now I'll support anything that gets me my money back. If it's ship repairs, so be it.

Consuela, your paragraph about "Not because it’s needed, because you’re invested." could also ring true regarding those that oppose the gas storage project. Not because it MAY be needed, in some form or other, but because of it's location.

The whole issue of energy security has changed over the course of the last year and wouldn't be surprised for something left field to come from the govement. If only to look like they are doing something to address the issues. And I don't mean Chitta's secret squirrel stuff. ;)

Touché. lol

I don't believe the possibility, potential and capacity of the yards to develop into something tangible is in question. But until we have some idea of how they are doing finanicially, after all the costs of upgrading the yards and new staffing levels, it is difficult to remain totally committed (invested).
In the meantime, I'll keep the blinkers on until my eyes have been adjusted with some facts. :)

That's one thing about the day to day core business. There will always be new strains, variants, subvariants etc. and the need for Pharma to test against them. Everything else is just icing. :)

Interims? Jeeze, be nice to get the results for the last two years before we start looking forward to them delaying the interims. :)

As JM replied, when asked about the agreements on that interview, "that he would like to park this question for another month while they get the agreements over the line". Always thought it would be best to wait and then re-ask the question. Which is what you have done. So thanks, 46G. Look forward to a reply. Or an update.

Thanks, Stokey, but just realised from reading another board that RNS's are not showing up here this morning.
As you were then. :)

If they do release them in April, as suggested in the last update, expect them to be issued at 4:35pm Friday afternoon before the long weekend. With JW's new yacht on standby just off the the Irish coast, for a quick getaway. ;)

Nah, TBH, to much foreshadowing in that last update re- results made me reduce by 80% in anticipation of poor results.
And if they are good or not too bad i'll get back in. But in the long term, a shipbuild contract is key, for me.
Until IM is sorted, that is.
