Tuesday is always a good day, but rumour from Oz says Thursday and all is going according to plan.

SWW, thanks for the post re the 7-9 explo wells in 2005.

Re above. Mole shouts "Oi, mate. Where d'ya get the anti-gravity device?"

Lol! think the mole will be long gone now after seeing Mickey's MIL from below!

squats going on

I think this mole hunt is very near the bottom of the jocular barrel.

Hello Ratty said Mr. Mole.

On a more serious topic guy's. What difference will it make to investors if the LSE sells out to a foreign buyer.

MS

apart from being an embarrassment to this country- can you imagine the germans or french selling their inst's that has been around for years. this should not be allowed- from our regulators. we must be looked upon as a laughing stock- we seem to be selling our best business successes to foreigners.

got it out of my system- what about 2x 4m sell at close-

I'm with you lizard if it were left up to me I would tell them to go and **** themselves. Is nothing sacred anymore. I like Hils take on the French. I would like to know what she feels about the Germans.

MS

ok, but look at the LSE this way...why is it that a british company doesn't bid or the LSE maximises value? i am as pro british as the next guy but i am even more pro free markets and (within reason) believe that over protectionist policies legislated by govenments tends to be bad for business. i would rather see the germans fail in the bid but i don't see anyone else clambering to keep the institution british.

I think that it lost any status that it had as a British Institution when the original member brokers allowed it to become a public company 2 or 3 years ago.

100% agreed Hilary.

Just checked and it's actually 3 and a half years. Tempus Fugit!

Also just noticed your post, Mickey. I don't mind the Krauts as it happens. If they try to push in front of me in a ski lift queue, I just swing my ski tip at their Jacobs. But then I'll do that regardless and ask where they're from afterwards.

:o)

Jacobs Cream Crackers eh Hils? Very gor blimey guv'nor.

Nice one Hils. I must remember not to queue jump you, my eyes are watering at the very thought. To be honest I don't mind the Krauts either. I lived in Germany for 5 years so I got to understand their mentality pretty well. But just under the surface are some serious right wing wiews, at least with the ones I mixed with. Must check on GMC.

LOL

MS

all quiet on the sey front,
have been following goo for a while and have issued some interesting news this afternoon. risky but thinking could be worth a look?.

These are on the way down again me thinks. I shall be hitting my reappraisal point soon, time to think again.

MS

hang on for a few more days..at least until the next drill report (IMHO!)

It needs to be good. According to stockwatch there have been only sells since this morning.
