Disclaimer & comment rulesFortunately, readers of Mercopress don't need to wait at all, never mind 7 days, because our very own Joe Bloggs has had an illuminating email which he shared with us all last week. He was in another country, you know (that should help the SFA track you down when they want to speak to you, JB).
Sep 11th, 2012 - 07:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Could you please enlighten me as to the contents of the email?
Sep 11th, 2012 - 09:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0@2 Gladly. JB has informed the world that, being absent from his place of work and his home, he is still in touch with what really matters on the FI at the moment. He has received an e-mail confirming to him quote “Oil oil beautiful oil” unquote.
Sep 11th, 2012 - 10:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is in the context that he had already given us notice of good news to come in October in this regard and challenged us to guess what it was (as if we couldn't). Away from home and the constraints that usually provides, he couldn't resist a bit of gloating in the direction of Sr Think (and me possibly but I can't think why). True, drink maywell have been taken but he has gone silent since, suggesting he acknowledges the seriousness of his indiscretion.
Don't take my word for it of course, DYOR about JB for his credibility and me for my interpretation.

Sep 11th, 2012 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0JB had the temerity to post “oil oil beautiful oil”
“OUTRAGEOUS”
Put him before the Courts this instant.
Sounds almost “Kirchnerest”
@4 Kirchnerest is what Think is on at the moment, I believe. I see you didn't go with him after all, which is a shame.

Sep 11th, 2012 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All Argentina needs a Kirchnerest...permanently.
Anyway didn't want him thinking I was you and sticking his hand up my arse.
He must have gone to The Falkland Islands to nick a few more dollies.
The mobile phone service is excellent so I'm told.
@6 My days of R to I training ended long ago. Let me tell you though, there are a few MA(RN) who risk death if I ever meet them again, face to face this time.
Sep 11th, 2012 - 12:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 07 You should stop living in the past and concentrate on polishing your good conduct medal and drawing your pension. Think will be back soon, so stop fretting, in the meantime have a word with BK. You'll find you have a lot in common.
Sep 11th, 2012 - 02:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@8 Your comments on my lifestyle are so cutting, so hurtful, so lacking in good humour and so, well, very very other rankish (good conduct medal indeed) that I'm even starting to regret Think's absence as much as you appear to.

Sep 11th, 2012 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That is the intention, so thank you, you're very kind, if a little over sensitive. For someone of your advanced years you would have thought you might have developed more of a sense of humour but then you are Argentinian.
Rankish? moi? .....Never..... you must be referring to your festering undercrackers .... Why not get Mrs Think to give em a rinse through?
Think on holiday? can take him or leave him really but you don't have a choice do you? My guess is that he will make an appearance sooner rather than later. What do you Think?
@10 Your sarcasm sensors seems not to be working , that's what I Think. Then again I'm only an Argentinean geriatric sodomite with rotting body parts and a passion for multiple online identities. So who cares what I think other than me. I'm surprised you're bothering to exchange comments. Tell you what. You have the last word......

Sep 11th, 2012 - 05:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At last we agree on something. Don't sulk though, it makes you look even more pathetic.

Sep 11th, 2012 - 05:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0LMFAO! I just read this. You are on the wrong track sunshine but I am sure you know that. I usually reserve the title of deadbeat to the more radical Malvinistas on here but you've earned it. You deserve it.
I have nothing at all to do with the oil industry nor have I ever intimated that I do. I don't even have any directly related oil investments. Like many Falkland Islanders I am about to realise great opportunities that have been driven by the already-acknowledged Rockhopper oil finds. The opportunities exist in the provision of services that will be called on by the oil industry and its directly and indirectly related industries.
The email I received was from someone out of the blue offering to buy one of my properties. A property which is not for sale and which is not widely (I thought) known to belong to me. I know I know, I should know better than that given the diddle dee information super highway. Anyway, nobody has ever written to me before and asked me if I would consider selling my property. When I told them “no”, they asked if I would sell them another property.
The news coming up (hopefully in October but in reality it's looking more like early November now) has nothing at all to do with oil.
You truly are a deadbeat.
@13 It's a real thrill to open up a new comment page on Mercopress and see yourself personally referenced in the first item. A thrill that both of us have now experienced, although the denigration of my recently concluded military service rather soured the effect for me. Cue Ungrateful Colonists Speech from Colonel Blimp.
Sep 11th, 2012 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Still, we do have something in common. I too worked out that there is so much less risk in logistics than in this exploration business. Thank the Lord for that rather splendid rights issue from Falkland Island Holdings and the power of Mr Hargreaves and Mr Lansdown to get their clients a good deal. And well done to FIH for owning 4% or so of FOGL at no cost to us shareholders; all we need now is a good RNS as per the story above.
Deadbeat though I am, I'm still very happy for you that you own multiple properties and that your fellow permanent residents are eager to take some of them off your hands. So small a market, such great demand.
I doubt that you will be able to take an ounce of oil, just dream on.

Sep 16th, 2012 - 03:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What do you think.
No idea, really
Sep 16th, 2012 - 09:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Really.
Sep 17th, 2012 - 08:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0We both can write passably good English?
Sep 17th, 2012 - 09:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0“passably good English?”
Sep 18th, 2012 - 03:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I was thinking more along the lines of anal gape.
