FRIDAY 21.34 : "do you want some recognition as a minion investor. "~
mmm ~~~ I will avoid the temptation of being rude to you as you were to me .
However , you are no doubt aware that c. :
57.15 % of this Company is owned by Institutions and Professional Investors .
5.23 % is owned by Directors .
.05 % owned by Wendy Lawrence ~ ie : 93,609 shares .
As I own a few more shares than that , would that define her a " minion investor. " ?

Encouraging , confident , positive interview .
Being `Picky ` again , I know there are few people employed here but I would have preferred Ms Laurence not to continually refer to the business as `My Company` , although at the end of the interview she did say once `Our Company` .
I might increase my stake here next week .
End of year expectations ~~~ considerably ahead of today`s price .

~~~ well , I think they must have finished the filet mignon , we must be getting close to the `rump` now ;)

Well, I have to say i`m just a little disappointed with the sp this morning . I would have thought we would be pushing on toward 25p . Why are we flat lining ?
So many possibilities :
The usual `Sell the news brigade `. After all we have made some great progress over recent weeks .
Is the corrupt AIM market in full overdrive ?
Did the recent investors get `the nod` in advance of that stake disclosure a couple of days ago ?
Are there other major investors being accommodated before the impact of the news takes effect ?
Is it just the general market malaise today this particular Company ? ~~~ etc
Bottom line ~ this is a short term disappointment , at least for me !
I remain confident and curious as to where we may be toward the end of the year :)

One very little `Picky Point` ; if I were writing that RNS , i would not have said :
"~~~ We are delighted to announce this range of contract extensions ~~~ "
I think in the current climate `delighted` is inappropriate . Perhaps :
`~~~We are pleased to announce this range of contract extensions ~~~ `
BUT ~ I thought the content and direction was massively positive , it`s just a question of patience , which seems to be lacking for some today .
Very best of luck all , especially to the regulars on here .

i can`t fault your excellent summary Thordon .
When we start selling GAS `Thordonbirds` will be GO ;)

Great result today !
I like your point 2 Scooby ;)
Whichever way you read it , this was prematurely driven into the ground and is rising from the dead !
GLA .

OGM 4 ~~~ Absolutely correct !
The slightest whiff of positive news here ( which could come at any time .) and this will shoot up .

The totally share price has made some great progress over the last few weeks , so it was hardly surprising to see a break in upward momentum .
The trigger would seem to be an emotional 20p price point . Lion Trust I imagine would have anticipated this and reduced their holding yesterday .
This was not announced until today and i think that precipitated a domino effect amongst a few PI`s , who have probably seen a considerable rise in their investment . There were not that many trades today and most would seem to be typically small PI sells .
The fundamentals here haven`t changed and I suspect those who sold may not be able to scramble back in again without paying a bit of a premium .
Not phased at all by the price dip , in fact it was expected and is quite normal . I`m focused on where this might be at the end of the year .
I wonder just how far this might go !

138 pages by way of explanation . ( or is that justification ? )
I think I will wait for those better qualified than me to provide some form of translation .

~~~ and they had to pay top dollar to get that amount of stock .

Yes , very encouraging to see this making steady forward progress on all fronts .
I wonder where we might be at the end of the year ?

This is the shocker bit that 18.23 omitted :
~~~" the new share offer values XCD shares at 1.2 cents each, representing a 71 per cent premium to XCD’s closing share price yesterday of 0.7 cents and a 140 per cent premium to the closing price of XCD shares on April 24th." ~~~

71% Premium !
Perhaps I`m just a bit `Pisco Sour ed , but , I `m sure I know what I would be doing if I was celebrating with a
`Real Harvey Wallbager `!!

Yep ! ~~~ it looks like ****tails are being served :
Looks like those on the 88 side of the bar are being served up a `Pisco Sour` ,
while those on Dougal Fergie`s side are getting a `Real Harvey Wallbanger` :(

We all did :)
But you got your timing just right !

A month now since the `Wheel of Fortune` at the 88 Saloon landed on ZERO .
Some interesting views emerging about the competence and integrity of the Barman .
As a drinker , I feel I should have known better that I was always given `Short Measure` .
That`s the trouble ; if you drink too much you probably lose sight of what you`re doing .
Now that I`m sober , I don`t think i`ll be going back to the bar until that barman`s been sacked .

H : Your Q4 prediction may well be right . We are all aware that Block have had to contend with quite a few negative issues which have certainly impacted their business , created delays and damaged investor confidence . The consequences of COVID 19 may mean that progressing their development plans are further delayed and that issue remains a complete unknown .
On the negative side , delay costs money and the longer this takes the more likely a requirement to raise funds ; of course there are other negatives of which we are all aware .
On the positive side , we all know that this is now all about GAS and unlike Oil a more immediate demand is still there and likely to increase as we move toward the end of the year . Block could be the key to providing self sufficiency for Georgia`s energy requirement .
We are just speculating about the circumstances surrounding Block , but others have a much more detailed understanding of Block and its future potential .
I am increasingly less confident in the expertise of Block`s management to be able to progress their business plan in a realistic time frame without the need to raise additional funds .
In this context I remain hopeful that some form of corporate action may engulf Block before the year end .
Longer term , which triggered my thoughts for this post , I think this will do well especially for those buying in now .

When I see that pealing 88 sign over the door changed to "The Golden Nugget" , and somebody tells me that the new barman is called Dougal Wall , I`ll be through those swing doors before you can pull the cork on that bottle of Bourbon !!

~ " Feels like 4.30 am in a dim bar with 4 lifetrods each into their 2nd bottle of bourbon. "~~~

Crickey ! I was wondering what was going on in there .
It`s cold and lonely standing out here in the street looking in and gasping for that drink ,
but I haven`t fallen off the wagon ~ yet !
Best of luck .

25pe would be fine by me !
But I would be very happy with a slow but steady onward march toward the year end where somebody mentioned ~~~
No ~~~ I can`t repeat it !
