Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

You down in the cellar again Fred.

Who let him out?

Who let him out?

Either time!

I am pondering on what the oilies maybe attempting to achieve.

partly to make it exceedingly painful for us shale producers

And the results?

Short sighted madness I think , this a finite product the more you preserve the longer it will last at higher prices . so they are storing up big problems in the future . And two faced .

Well just seen that the woman ( malik ) of the shootings in USA , pledged allegiance to ISIS so there is a solid connection .

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-35004172 so which 2 members of the "Con"servative party are they then?.. answers on a post card.

OPEC and Saudi are playing a long game. A number of high cost producers have cut back but there is still an over supply. OPEC wants to maintain their market share and will not cut back production causing the price to rise. Customers will switch to lower cost producers and the higher price will give an incentive for those struggling to increase production again. OPEC seems to be calculating that production may fall in a year's time giving slightly higher prices, but seriously higher prices are probably at least a couple of years away.

..and the 2 "Con"servative crooks?

The identities of those involved have not been disclosed.

and who says both or even either are conservatives?

==============

oil
whatever saudi publishes is not necessarily what saudi does
categorically aramco has stopped fracking since the beginning of november and will not re-commence until january or even february by the time everything is mobilised
however, existing wells can still keep pumping

Could be any flavour pol, no shortage of crooks in any of the parties.

The majority of MPs that went to prison over expenses were Labour.

"and who says both or even either are conservatives?" little old me of course.. If that's not the case I will be amazed.

"Could be any flavour pol, no shortage of crooks in any of the parties." yes but the "Con" artists invented it and have been practising it for a lot longer.

We already know that, so come on H/S who are they?

brave call stan ...... will you commit seppuku in atonement if you're wrong?

Certainly not.. what is it -):
