Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Dodgemeister and TomE, before I can open a book, re: your possible scrap in the car park, please both advise of your expected weights at the weigh in; that is prior to attendance at the bar. Further I will require advance notice as to whether you will contest by, boxing, wrestling, all-in, shove halfpenny, drinking a yard of ale, duel with wet blankets or best mooner. As it will have to be at a secret location, due to lockdown, is there a farmer on the BB with a large barn .
Applications to be seconds (with a £50 note enclosed) can be made, as can applications for tickets to view (£20 to be enclosed), through the Lukashenko protesters defence club. Stay Safe.
Back of beyond is not exclusive to Australia. Here in East Yorkshire we had a local cricketer whose handle was Bacca due to the fact he came from the back of beyond. Lovely fellow, now deceased. Stay Safe, l,ong live Belarus.
Tig and Cordorlini, I was the local sharpshooter in my youth due to my purchase of an E-type; wasn't cheap for me either. Loved that car with it's lovely large steering wheel and buck(et) seats. Stay Safe.
P.S. £35s worth of Morris 1947; could hit 50, nearly, downhill.
Strudel, unless one has done a deal with the devil, if Armageddon shows up not many will be over concerned about the price of gold; excepting those aliens who are apparent flying round our skies in search of something.. Poss our gold. Stay Safe until Armageddon, then put your head between your knees and kiss your a5se goodbye.
Ocelot, I would add that news of intentions at the ex-flagship Broadford Bridge would not go amiss. I support your buy reasoning however,personally, I am getting a little uneasy about UKOG's future for the first time in my 3 1/2 years. Broadford mishaps etc, though unfortunate, could not be entirely unexpected given the uncertainty of the oil game. A misfortune is just that, but when they become continual, referring to the number of occurring problems for the company, the question of why they keep arising starts to become questionable. Is there a concerted effort to downgrade or reduce the company to a point where peanuts would be gratefully accepted for it ? I still retain my optimism though it's
gradually eroding. I appreciate HM Government present problems but it would be nice to hear, regarding Loxley where SCC have defied legal guidance for the second time, that someone somewhere in authority, having witnessed the debacle, could or would step in saying enough is enough. Some hope |I suppose; chins must be kept up.. Stay Safe, Be Lucky.
Crocman, I disagree. I sugested ,2017, after UKOG had bought out Warwick Energy (for around 5p per share I believe) that SS was intent on buying up the whole of the Weald. I also stated that I believed that UKOG might never come to full fruition until Brexit was done and dusted. We have resources under our feet that in any other country would, by now, either be in full production or consigned to the waste dump; but we would or should have known one way or the other.
Whether UKOG will turn out to be the success I believe or hope it will be, I cannot foretell, but I have bet £65k of my daughter's money (as I act for as she's based in Geneva) that it will be, (offset by a £300K profit on GGP amongst others). The world is speeding up by the day, covid or not, so if we are to survive as a nation we have to dispose of the old regime, i.e. SCC councillors types and dreamboats like myself and deal in hard facts with decisions made with the upmost urgency. The world may have sympathy for strugglers, but they will still have their heads pushed into the sand in the rush for success. Stay Safe, Be lucky, UU.
KarloyVary, I agree with amount of what you write, however I feel SS is used as an excuse for anything and everything that goes wrong at UKOG, although I do understand some of the complaints. I always point out in matters similar to this that, in footballing or sporting terms, if the best 20 managers managed the best possible 20 teams at the end of the season somebody is still going to come bottom. So you fire the bottom 2 managers the best you can appoint is no's 21 and 22.
If I was ever to agree to disposing of SS's services it would be solely based on Napoleon's thoughts when wishing to appoint a new general. How competent he was was secondary, he wanted to know how lucky he was. To date SS has not been lucky. He cannot be blamed for the incompetence and negligence of Councillors anymore that the drilling mishaps at Broadford Bridge. I, personally, remain confident in our CEO's ability, if I were to question anything, it would only be his luck. SS, UU.
Do we have any lawyers on board, not keyboard ? This is as I see it. Councillors, as anybody and everybody else, have a duty of care to the council they represent. To act against the legal advice, as laid down by law and explained to them quite clearly by the council's officers, together with the advice that their action, in voting to refuse, would appear to be both negligent and reckless. IF the council's refusal is overturn by'whoever' with costs awarded to UKOG, then surely IF the councillors are deemed to have acted contrary to law, and against advice from those employed to provide that advice, thereby recklessly and negligently, then COULD the council in turn seek recompense /compensation from those councillors that acted contrary to advice and probably law? SS, UU.
