funny guys!

Oh goawd if I could draw as well as hilawy

I'll finish it tonight.

I can also see a blue mound in my tea leaves.

Oh forget that, it's a dirty cup...........

Oh dear, I just went into Tesco on ADVFN and talked fish..............

No sense of humour there.

They are all moving their shopping to Waitrose instead after I spoke.

Ho hum.............

Think I will try MKS next.

The holders there must have a sense of humour.(?)

MKS are already talking fish and tea leaves so I won't interupt.

I'll just watch them as they interact together.

Amazing what you can see from an internet hide.

You need to have the right viewing equipment though and a very quiet monitor, or you may just spook them and then you will have lost hours of preparation.

Do you see what it is yet?????????

I do the same in the traders room............

shhhhh.........

Aw, look at that one going for the sleepy one's throat..............

Amazing!!!!

And again, oh fantastic!!

Nature as it happens................

Some just can't share the same watering hole.

SWW
Any chance you could pour me one of what ever it is you're having!!

Done

Arn't the trees lovely?

Did you know I can see round corners?

Dave?

Are you there Dave?

I can feel it Dave.....................

Good Morning Doctor Chandra.

Title: Open Briefing. Roc Oil. Update on Operations

Record of interview:

corporatefile.com.au
The joint venture partners involved in the Mauritanian drilling program have
released a lot of information to ASX over the last few months. What is ROC's
view on the drilling results and the progress you've made over the last few
months?

CEO John Doran
ROC's view of what is happening in Mauritania hasn't changed in the last many
months. The area is developing into an important new petroleum province offshore
Northwest Africa - but it is still very early days. We still have a huge amount
to learn about the detailed nature of the various oil and gas plays - and, in
this regard, every new well helps.

Development of the Chinguetti Field is progressing and first oil in still
expected in early 2006. It's worth reminding ourselves that this is a deep water
development in a remote part of Northwest Africa where, until very recently,
there was no industry infrastructure. Consequently, the development of
Chinguetti is a significant project for Woodside as operator.

Clearly, the Tiof Field is large. However, with six wells drilled into the
reservoir and, for a variety of valid operational reasons, none tested, I think
we would all like to flow oil and recover some oil samples to help us determine
the best way to develop this substantial resource. A testing programme is
scheduled to happen soon.

The Tevet discovery gave us a 1 in 4 success rate from the exploration wells
drilled in late 2004. That is less than our previous strike rate, which was 100%
for the Miocene Channel play. Of course, if you are batting at a 100% success
rate there's only one way it can go - sooner or later, it will change for the
worse and you will inevitably drill some dry exploration holes. In our case, it
just so happened that those wells were the ones that were drilled most recently.
Elsewhere in the petroleum world a 1 in 4 exploration success rate would be
considered a good result.

We should also remember that ROC has interests throughout offshore Mauritania,
not just in the Woodside-operated area. Although the other offshore sub-basins
are at an even earlier point on the exploration learning curve than the
Woodside-operated area, there is no reason why, given time, they shouldn't also
enjoy a similar measure of success.

Perhaps, the biggest danger that faced the market in relation to Mauritania last
year was an understandable over exuberance fuelled by expectations that were
unrealistically high and running well ahead of industry statistics - but, then,
I guess, that's just a normal situation in an area where the drilling results
have been so good.
