It was indeed Spud. But you know what they say... If you wait long enough things have a habit of going full circle. ;)

RNS from Portland Gas plc on the 5th November 2009

"European Investment Bank places the Portland Gas Storage Project under appraisal

The Directors of Portland Gas plc (AIM: PTG) ("the Company") are pleased to announce that the European Investment Bank ("EIB") has confirmed that it has listed the Portland Gas Storage Project in its pipeline of projects under appraisal.

The EIB supports projects which contribute to energy diversification and security at EU level. The pipeline of projects under appraisal by the EIB are listed on the website http://www.eib.org/projects/pipeline/index.htm.

Commenting on the news, Andrew Hindle, CEO of Portland Gas plc said:

"We are delighted that the Portland Project, which will support energy security of supply and the efficient functioning of the gas market, has received this under appraisal status from the EIB."

A few weeks later.

"The Directors of Infrastrata plc announce that as a result of the Company changing its name on 15 December from Portland Gas plc, the LSE ticker has today changed from PTG to INFA."

The rest, as they say, is history. Becasue as luck would have it... "In 2019, two men rocked up to a struggling AIM listed company......"

Maybe that's the reason the accounts are late. AR has been working hard on his latest missive. :)

GL for tomorrow. I off to dig out my flares.

Agree, K. And those that may have had a "dabble" early days of the FSS must now be wondering why they bothered and been put off for life.

Re: 3. Last time they applied for an extension they RNSed that fact the day before the accounts were due.

"Harland & Wolff Group.... confirms that AIM Regulation has granted the Company an extension to the publication date of its audited annual report and accounts for the 17-month period ended 31 December 2021 ("FY 21 Accounts"). The extension permits publication up until 30 September 2022, although the Company expects that it will publish the FY 21 Accounts well in advance of this date"

As there was not such an RNS on Friday them doing so tomorrow would be a bit after the fact and shows, yet again, a total disregard for everyone for not keeping them aware of any issues. Regarless of wether they have a stake or vested interest, or just work for the company. People could have sold and lost money beacuse of the lack of news on this matter. Very disrespectful. If they don't have an extention in place and they let's this get as far as suspension then they have, pure and simply, failed in their job. And because of to many Scilly distractions, imo. Stop blathering on about how they are going to be experts in every field known to man and focus on the basics. Fabricate and build stuff in the facillities you have available. Get "gud" at it so you can expand slowly, while staying in control. And get the damned books in on time, ffs.

Don't worry. I've heard that they just ran out of money in petty cash tin to buy more toner for the printer. They are going to hand write it and pop it through the letter box at the Stock Exchange all ready for Monday opening. It's all good. :)

Was your 17:44 some sort of subtle cross-ramp, BT. :) lol

Been some straw clutching and a degree of schadenfreude, tbh.

But yes, I'm shocked and disgusted. After buying back over 150k this morning I'm selling up first thing in the morning.

Oh... wait... darn it.

Just noticed this while waiting. Oopsie, Malcy. Hope it's not catching.

"Delay in publication of 2024 Interim Results and Suspension of trading on AIM"

TomCo Energy plc Malcolm Groat (Chairman)

Do you mind? I actually like Laural and Hardy. Would except the Spoonerised version though. ;)

Having had the London Stock Exchange RNS page up all day in another tab, it is surprising just how many other companies post their results on the last day. Counted at least seven since lunchtime. Some are defo "the usual suspects" though.

Might need a new F5 button from refreshing the page. I've worn mine out. ;)

Nice weld. Back along ago Methil were advertising for a specific type of welder. I mentioned about this contract but was informed by BT that I had the wrong yard. Which I did, at the time. I noticed a while later that Arnish were also looking for a similar type of welder. Not only would that fit i with type of work but it would mean that both yards employing the type of welder caple of this kind of specialist work. Good news.

From the RNS

"The Company has now received its first purchase order under that agreement to fabricate six subsea structures with a contract value of approximately £3 million. These highly specialised structures are used in oil and gas platforms and the surrounding infrastructure, capable of withstanding pressures of 430 bar (6,235 psi) and as such are mission critical parts."

Thanks Stokey.

If all you ever do is sneek into someones garden just to shi* on their lawn when they are having a bad day, don't be sursprised when the owners dog follows you home and shi+s on yours.

The last, and only other post of yours on here, "Share placing is coming. 17 May 2024 09:25 5.0 pence looks like". Yes I looked it up, I'm that guy. :) You say, "We are all here to make profits." Well there are ways and means. Just a quick look at your history speaks volumes about yours, tbh. If you want to engage or talk through some pro's and con's of the company then I'm sure othes would indulge you. And not like your 13:41 post done only after the fact and challenged.

Happy waiting. GL.

It's obviously a secret visit by some Naval vessel. It's moored outside the Odyssey cinema, afaics, as going by the funnels in the background has the paddle ship Waverely just behind.

I think most expected that they may not be best of results, tbh, Roly. But it is what it is. Just get it out there, own it, and move on. I really don't know what they think they achieve by delaying them. Just makes matters worse, imo. Leaves things open to speculation and FUD. Unless of course there is an issue. lol That a whole different kettle of oysters.

Seemed a good thread title, K. :) Better to make one up rather than pander to those wishing to seize on the non arrival of the results to post stupid thread titles. For the life of me I don't know why people encourage them to keep posting them by replying on them. Let them wither away. A reaction is all they were ever after, not any kind of dialouge.

Most expected an after hours RNS anyway, so no big surprise. All the bed wetting and toy throwing will be done by Monday morning, I would imagine. Then on to the next "big Issue" and the next...... same as it ever was.. :)

Lowest price in two years. TYVM :)

Thanks, FT. Saw the "Drain Alcatraz" one on Netflix, clever use of CGI. Don't have a terrestrial telly so will try and find it online somewhere. Cheers.

Yeah, my mistake. This screen in the workshop is covered in all sorts. Not the liquorice ones, btw, I ate them. :)

Looks like it's going to Glasgow via Liverpool.

This morning the Belfast harbour website had the Odessy down for a planned departure of tomorrow the 28th. Lookig back on there just to see if anything is due in and it's been changed to the 29th of July. Bummer for some would be residents but more work for the yard, if that's correct.

But, what is rather exciting news is there a vessel from down Devon way heading up to dock at the OQ (commissioning quay). The Waverley is the "last seagoing passenger-carrying paddle steamer in the world" and is normally found around the North Devon coast, Illfracombe way. Wonder what that is doing up there?

PS. Stokey. Re your 12:25. Why? To get a reaction and start another bun fight. Best to ignore, imo.

TBH, I'm not sure many of those sellling today were hanging on some random court decision. Doubt if most even knew there was one in the offing. Can't put my finger on it, but maybe something else is troubling them.

Tomorrow, Stokey.

JUDICIAL REVIEW at ROYAL COURTS OF JUSTICE on 28 Jun 2024 in JUDICIAL REVIEW COURT.

10:30 FOR HEARING 3 24/025680/01 In the matter of an application by Islandmagee Energy Limited for leave to apply for Judicial Review

Edit: from Chris's post. :)

Didn't sound right so did a fact check on Thomas Rooney's numbers.

And fwiw, 20 apprenticeships would be just this years intake. 31 in total.

Speaking at a local council meeting back in November some of which was reported here...

"General manager Tom Hart said in the first year of offering apprenticeships only four people applied for 10 positions, in the second year it was seven for 15 positions and in the third year 35 people applied for 20 apprenticeships."

This job is obviously for an Appledore in North Dorset and not the one in North Devon. :)

You can read it two ways. Either they are behind schedule and see the Quorn going on till at least October or they finally have a plan fo the Atherstone that could be completed by then. Seeing the Quorn still wrappped in scaffold recently would suggest that the former may be the case and there is still lots to do. The fitting of specialist systems by BAE and others was always part of the job as was their involement in the project. Odd that they mention components rather than the whole vessel. "... repair of components for a vital MOD Minesweeper project..."

My understanding was the Atherstone is just a shell of it's former self. With the engines stripped out as well as a lot of the vital infrastructure. It was only ever there as a donor vessel afterall. So no, Stokey, without more information, I don't believe this has anything to do with the Atherstone and is just the final push on the Quorn.

Bit of background research, fwiw. Can only read so far on this article that mentions BAE's involement. Others might want to sub to get the full artice.

Yeah, thanks for that. Doesn't sound like the machine shop doing the shaft was on site but there is obviously extra work for the yard. £££ :)
