hermana - yes I am aware, sorry for the earlier slip, I was thinking about something else, Sterling Energy and Dennis O'Brien.

Not sure where that Tom came from, must be something in the background but not connected.

poo,any idea what DOB is up to at SEY?

hermana - it's a guess only.

There may be something to that rivalry between the two? (DOB and TOR)

I have been expecting him to do a takeover.

He will need to look sharp before the HCL in Kurdistan is passed and before the sale of Sterling's US assets if thats the case unless the latter is a precondition to a buy.

Sterling's cash burn exceeds income at the moment.

With all that paper issued, theres not much in free market so if he got the backing it would not be too difficult.

Certainly the current Management appear to be under scrutiny hence the reshuffle with the former Finance Director moving up to CEO.

I have a token holding bought at the lows but my main interests are now elsewhere.

Too much jam tomorrow for too long.

Not enough in the last set of results to underpin the share price,eagerly awaiting Hook Head spud or maybe spanish point/aje update.

winner,maybe a "wee maybe" coming soon...

hermana would be a much welcome boost to the bank balance if where aje,Been quite a wait for spanish point,but all good things...

winner,no mention of Apollo last Monday. Was licence renewed?

If it had not been would they not have said so..

surprised to see retrace continue on low volumes,could see 8p bid again.With oil prices still rising that might provide some support.

winner,help is on way for SP! Stay tuned...

can you give more details i.e a far east surprise or a nigerian one maybe.

winner,if you force me to choose I go for de former.

slight arm twist hermana,thankyou.

oversold now surely?

winner,most definitely.

Signs of recovery late Friday. Looking forward to Tuesday morning.....

Tuesday morning rns?need something after the pullback in the share price this last week.
Are we looking at a late july HH drilll or early august,do you think?

winner,hopefully the former.

How long is the rig contracted for this time round?

Late July to November for 2 maybe 3 wells.
