the sub prob due to go on exercise somewhere anyway, so no doubt FI seemed as good a place as any ... bit like you guys deciding to taking the family to clacton for the w/e

We had a good time there didn't we cyners.,.

wonderful; never to be forgotten ... just the two of us in the dunes together :-)

Am I missing something here ?.....thought this was about drilling for oil...or condensate...

hope you didn't get sand in your eyes (or anywhere else for that matter).

They probably found condensate.

".....maybe you right but ihave friends in gov who say...." Presumably the guy who services the photo-copier and a school leaver on work experience program?

not sure, but i noticed BB's eyes watering and the donkey managing something resembling a smile

BD, plenty of aftersun rubbed in.,.

Lucky donkey...or unlucky....just depends...

BB believes KY is much the same thing methinks .... at least he didn't try wintergreen

Comparing yourself to a donkey cyners........maybe an ass but not a donkey.,.

thought the shakesperian disguise had fooled you

oops judt bad luck

A little bit of a rise this morning !...

LNG
though not really on subject, i thought the following might be of interest with regards to the almost exponential growth for the use of LNG as fuel.

for those not aware, LNG is a very clean fuel to burn, with its obvious benefits to the environment ..... as a result, many vessels (and some truck fleets) are now being built or converted to run on this stuff.

it is very interesting to see that EU is now taking a very strong stance on the sulphur emissions from vessels ..... this means that the vessel owners will have to fit very expensive sulphur scrubbers if they want to stay with current cheap fuel (LSFO), though there is also a more expensive version (MGO) which gives out lower sulphur emissions.

almost de facto, it means that more and more (applies to industry heavy users too) will look much more closely at the economics of switching to LNG

=========

on the downside, LNG is expensive to produce and also has to be transported and stored in very expensive cryogenic tanks (highly sophisticated vacuum flask for ease) ...... being predominantly methane, it is also highly flammable, which gives other potential problems for its usage

Gibby , true i had forgotten how much support she has down there with her neighbours, but doubt it come to blows. Trouble may brew if a big oil discovery is made , as the Argie's will be naturally Jealous big time mate.

Nicely up today...more tomorrow as long as no oil slide....

Stock on Loan (eg short position) has increased rapidly on FOGL over May - which is not surprised given the share price fall - the stock has to come from somewhere to fill everyones buys (including mine of late).

A nice spike in the short position means they will be closing out before Stebbing results near - so at some point in the next 3 weeks there should be a strong rise upwards as the shorts close out.
