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.

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?

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?
