Good job 1704. Let us all hope Hils will use the skills she has to ramp SEY again so we can all make lots of not-so-hard-earned lolly and buy back in again for the long term after the predictable (short-term) retreat.
(p.s. - thanks Hilary, made a packet!)

...and continue to believe in SEY long term.
Happy hunting

I have no doubt you will all be buying a chateux with your new found packets.

However, if you didn't and want a recipe for roasted paraket, I will be putting one together over the next few days.

Plenty of old bones there mickey!

Speaking of which here comes the Wife!

Thanks Namreh and SWW agree with both your previous messages.

I'm looking foward to lots of cigars and brandy over the xmas break (not while my kids are about or the wife for that matter) not to mention the days off work.

Im hoping to bag a mistress for the new year (only joking). What present's are the rest of you hoping for?

A new younger wife that can't talk!

4 Calling Birds, 3 French Hens, 2 Turtle Doves and a Partridge in a pear tree -all of which I hope SWW can transform into a feast of fun for all the SEYers.
(Failing that, a new set of leathers would be nice)

A DB9 would be nice or that Alembic bass guitar in the music shop. Some Viagra and a female santa would also go well.

MS

Keep UP the good work MS ;>)

Only joking about the wife.

She is a real treasure.

the guilt is shining through...we know you didn't mean it SWW!

She realy does wash and iron the clothes well.........

I think I had better stop there before someone really thinks I am serious.

Irons you say,you are lucky!!

nce tick up in the last five minutes!

Talk on the HNR thread of a market crash end of Jan/Feb. A realignment maybe but crash? Any views from you pro's?

MS dont get too excited, talk is one thing.............

Sterling strengthening its board


Sterling Energy PLC
16 December 2004

Sterling Energy plc ('Sterling' or the 'Company')

Board Appointments

Following its recent successful 97 million fund raising, Sterling Energy plc is
pleased to announce the appointment of two new executive directors to strengthen
the board further in line with its continuing growth.

Paul Michael Griggs, aged 45, is joining Sterling as Commercial Director from
the Austrian oil company OMV AG, where he is currently Vice President Business
Development, E&P. Andrew Joseph Grosse, aged 46, who is presently the
Exploration Manager of Sterling will become Exploration and Technical Director.
Both appointments take effect from January 1, 2005

Since 2001, Paul Griggs has been responsible for the business development,
acquisition and divestment activity of OMV's Exploration & Production division,
playing a major role in the company's significant growth during that period. He
led the 300 million acquisition of the international assets of Preussag AG, and
was involved in OMV's recent 1.5 billion deal to acquire a 51% stake in the
Romanian state oil group, Petrom. Prior to joining OMV Paul held senior
commercial positions in BHP Petroleum, Fina Exploration and Amerada Hess, and
spent six years in investment banking with NatWest Markets.

Andrew Grosse joined Sterling in 2002, and is currently the company's
Exploration Manager. He has 24 years experience of international exploration,
including asset evaluation, portfolio management and new venture licencing.
Prior to joining Sterling he was British-Borneo's International Exploration
Manager working in the Gulf of Mexico and in Mauritania where he was
instrumental in securing an interest in the offshore acreage which has
subsequently delivered the 139 million barrel Chinguetti oil discovery and the
250+ million barrel Tiof oil discovery. He began his career with Gulf Oil in
Canada, and has also worked with BP Exploration and Ultramar Exploration.

Sterling Chief Executive Harry Wilson said: 'The appointments of Paul and Andrew
will strengthen our management team as we consolidate the massive growth of the
last year and develop new opportunities. Both are experienced oil men who will
make a significant contribution to the development of Sterling.'

Matters for disclosure under paragraph (f) of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules with
respect to the appointment of Paul Griggs:

Current directorships or partnerships: Gama Services Limited

There are no other matters that are required to be disclosed with regard to
either appointment.

seems like a prudent appointment.

this crash business...doomsday posters. remember those who sought shelter in the highlands of Scotland because of the threat of Y2K??? a crash will occur at some point..in a month in 2 years in 10 years...who knows. i was long over 9/11 and the bali bomb (when trading indonesia) and they are shock events there is no point trying to predict. they cost money amnd you have to move on. since last year i have spoken to many of my bearish friends who have warned about commodity prices, property prices and the tooth fairy and like thailand in 1997 the butterfly effect can take place but in the still low inflation/interest rate environment (and dare i say weak dollar) what will be the cause?????? something, sometime will rock the boat but my philosophy is that if you are sitting at the table you may as well play (and always with what u can afford to lose!).

Mickey - if you hold PET still it looks like bail out time..................

Dunno what has happened to PET but the drop loos ominous......dyor of course.

it's rising at the moment sww
