i know emirates have an o'night flight from heathrow and maybe gatwick; no idea about manchester ..... fly back monday afternoon

:) Wouldn't want to distract you from your biz, cynic

of course you would but that's no prob as nothing that serious planned for sunday and just a shortish meeting on monday en route to the airport

meanwhile i'm quite tempted to take a further long on dow with a relatively tight stop

PS - let me know flight details .... try ba or even etihad to abu dhabi

I closed my long DOW and FTSE earlier. May wait till a bit later before I do anything more. Kind of feel the Dow is wanting to settle around 13340-13350 until we hear from the Fed.

quite so, but guaranteed stop only carries 4pt premium ...... flight? .... you know you want to :-)

:)))

so i did - 13349.5 +4 for guaranteed stop ..... prob prove to have been too greedy by half!

Ahem, I'm sure there are dedicated swinger's sites on the internet! ;o)

you should know .... for dogging too i dare say :-) so you don't just have to buy rubbish shares

I was planning a free ride here if possible...no such luck...

so was the dog!

I find it hard to believe that there are no leaks of any kind....perhaps this is like RKH or am I clutching at straws....there has to be more gas and oil out there...difficult to believe that Sealion would be the only discovery that's really worthwhile.....(Darwin perhaps, but probably has to be tied in with something else).

RF i bought that CD of Amy Macdonald.........glad you mentioned it as fantastic!!

RF this is a very tight ship FOGL are running so i would like to think everything to play for still.

The last drill if rig was down i new why and how long also other tip bits,not this time.

I have de risked my holding today but have decided to hold with remaing shares,good luck all.

I have to say that Amy Macdonald and her band are simply the best...listen to her other cd's as well.....what an artist..musician...the best discovery the UK has had for decades.......!...anyway fingers crossed for a result for FOGL...luckily there is another well coming up after this....so even if there is a negative result the sp should rebound with Scotia....

So a rumour of 30 meters net pay is spreading around.

Could be just a desperate ramp, could be something in it, who knows ?

But it would be interesting indeed if they hit 30 meters net pay of oil at the bottom.

Firstly, it would validate why the upper 4 targets are dry, if they are ?, as a good seal down below would have starved the upper targets of any charge.

Secondly, this is a compromise well - all targets are being drilled in "sub-optimal" location. Unlike BOR at Darwin and Stebbing who were going for best location, FOGL have gone here not for best location for best net pay, they have drilled purely to try to go through all 5 targets with a single well. That means they are not being drilled in their optimal location, they are being drilled trying to get the drill to go through all 5.

If they could get 30 meters net pay on a sub-optimal well location, imagine how thick the net pay might be on an optimally placed appraisal well once 3D is done.

Now, its just another of those rumours, could be total BS, probably is, might not be - but if it were true and they have 30 meters at the bottom in a sub-optimal well location - that would be fantastic.

this wondrous rumour was obviously not in the market before close of biz yesterday, or if it was, it was clearly dismissed out of hand

Correct cynic, it come out last night.

Along with another rumour that the "flow test equipment" has been taken out of storage late yesterday and sent down for loading - but going where ??

All good fun, could be pure BS, could be true - we will know only when the company releases an RNS.

This was the "other" rumour on LSE.

FOGL

FOGL first leak Thu 21:53

Forget Goldilocks it looks like Goliath has found the 3 bears

They have moved the flow kit which is yellow from storage up in Stanley down to the docks waiting on for boat.

Will post when i know boat

if anyone wants to play in this game at this stage whether short or long, they should only do so with the greatest caution and with guaranteed stops
