This one's for you agna....

"Handbags and Hobnobs"

Ever seen a blind man cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young DES growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?

So what becomes of you my DES
When they have finally stripped you of
The handbags and the hobnobs
That your poor old punters had to sweat to buy you

Once I was a young man
And all I thought I had to do was smile
DES's not still a young girl
And she's bought everything in style

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the hobnobs
That your poor old punters had to sweat to buy you

Sing a song of "sixteen-pence" for your sake
And drink a bottle full of rye
Four and twenty hobnobs in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie

They told me you missed lunch today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the hobnobs
That your poor old punters had to sweat to buy

LOL! You're all legends in your own lunchtimes!

[from bard to verse] 03/12/2013 14:02

Here goes... ;-)

The time has come my friends, methinks, to compose a final dittie,
Dedicated to the dimming hopes of all on board, even KC, Agna and Walter ("Mitty"?)

For many years the countless jests have cheered when DES was falling,
Yet as we gather here to say goodbye, bride DES please, no more stalling.

The vows will soon be taken 'twixt DES and FOGL fair,
A marriage made in haste perchance, but might this take us anywhere?

With all thy worldly licences bestowed upon our favourite daughter,
Who knowest what bounty will arise in north or south, surely not more water?

I see a table set for the wedding feast, in pride of place the hobnobs,
Atop the cake a rig doth stand, symbolically safeguarding future city jobs.

So, let's put on the record, whilst I await this cheerless parting,
I still hath not received my promised Aston Martin!

Never mind, we'll all join in, perhaps even get a little tipsy,
So here's to you mate, I'll raise my glass, nice one Mr Phippsie!!

RIP

R.I.P DES.
4th December 2013 (not all original but mangled to suit circumstances)

I've known you since 1999-
You sat on a fortune-I thought you'd make mine.
Finally accepted ain't going to be so -
and FOGl the chaps who will make me my dough.


If Heaven be pleased when sinners cease to sin,
if Hell be pleased when sinners enter in,
if Earth be pleased when rid of a knave,
then all are pleased for DESmond's in his grave.

Hooray my brave boys let's rejoice at his fall.
For if he had lived he would have buried us all.

Here lies DES.
Here let him lie!
Now he's at rest,
and so am I.

Gadzooks! That puts me on the spot... perchance 'tis time to work on something appropriate.... I'll see what I can come up with. BFN

Well, before this b/b's "life" support gets turned off in a couple of days, there's still time for at least one more of these....

A salesman drove into a small town where a circus was in progress.
A sign read: 'Don't miss Bruce the Amazing Scotsman'. The salesman bought a ticket and sat down.
There, on centre stage, was a table with three walnuts on it.
Standing next to it was an old Scotsman.
Suddenly the old man lifted his kilt, whipped out a huge willy and smashed all three walnuts with three mighty swings!

The crowd erupted in applause as the elderly Scot was carried off on the shoulders of the crowd.

Ten years later the salesman visited the same little town and saw a faded poster for the same circus and the same sign
'Don't miss Bruce the Amazing Scotsman'.
He couldn't believe the old guy was still alive, much less still doing his act!
He bought a ticket. Again, the centre ring was illuminated.

This time, however, instead of walnuts, three coconuts were placed on the table.
The Scotsman stood before them, then suddenly lifted his kilt and shattered the coconuts with three swings of his amazing member.
The crowd went wild! Flabbergasted, the salesman requested a meeting with him after the show.

'You're incredible!' he told the Scotsman. 'But I have to know something. You're older now, why switch from walnuts to coconuts

'Well laddie,' said the Scot, 'Ma eyes are nae whit they used tae be.'

...huh?

Where's Bard when he's needed then, eh?

[agnabeya] 25/11/2013 11:01

I'm thinking of writing a poem on for the 4th, Walter.
A sort of lament for my millions that never were probably :)

(I'm presuming this particular BB will be no more?)

[walter ego] 25/11/2013 10:14

Is there gonna be a party on here on the 5th?

[agnabeya] 15/11/2013 16:03

I see the EGM passed all the proposals. No surprise there.

[agnabeya] 15/11/2013 13:14

Cheers KC - I'm under a catatonic cloud with the shares at the moment.
I reckon if something doesn't happen soon I'll turn to stone then crumble to dust at my PC with all the inactivity.
The thing that keeps me here is that share price didn't sell out completely - he still has his shares. If he'd sold out it would have worried me that he didn't see much future potential in the acreage. As it is - he's almost as greedy a barsteward as myself, so I'm happy that he kept his shares. I'm also happy no more DES BOD input into drilling campaigns etc.
If FOGL announce they have employed Dave Bodecott, I'll be ordering some new handbags and shoes. :)

Just for you Agna...

Something for the weekend...

A middle-aged woman waited near the pharmacy counter until there were no others around, then quietly asked the pharmacist, "Sir, do you carry Viagra here?"
The pharmacist said, "Yes, we do. It's a very popular product."
The woman then said, "Do you know if it actually works?"
The pharmacist replied, "Yes, in fact I use it myself and I can assure you it does."
Pleased with hearing that, she asked, "Can you get it over the counter?"
The pharmacist thought for a moment then said, "Well, maybe if I take two."

...huh?

In today's Independent. As if any oil major will ignore any oil discovered...:)



Argentina will launch criminal proceedings against British companies hunting for oil and gas in the Falklands next year, as the South American state looks to pressure the UK to the negotiating table.

Sources at the Argentinean embassy in London said criminal action in Buenos Aires was the "next step" to prevent oil majors from helping the likes of minnows Argos Resources and Desire Petroleum from securing the money they need to develop any discoveries.

Politicians in Buenos Aires have been frustrated that they cannot get the British Government to relent on a policy that allows UK firms to explore for energy in what they regard as a disputed territory, arguing these are "illegal activities".

They claim Foreign Secretary William Hague has refused to meet over drilling in the Falklands and hope that strangling the chances of commercialising any finds will ultimately lead to a compromise over the islands' future.

So far, FTSE 250 group Premier Oil is the biggest British company to agree to helping out the five main explorers around the islands, having signed an agreement with Rockhopper Petroleum. However, Argentina's energy prospects are so vast that the biggest companies are wary of risking a 20-year ban on operating in the country, which is what has been slapped on those five small groups which have dared to explore the Falklands.

In July, US giant Chevron signed a $1.24bn (£927m) deal with state-backed YPF to develop shale oil and natural gas in southern Argentina, while BP wrote a letter last year guaranteeing that they would not back any expeditions in what Buenos Aires calls the "Malvinas".

Argentina's treasury attorney general's office has vowed to "draft a criminal investigation" against the five companies, which also include Falkland Oil & Gas and Borders & Southern Petroleum. A senior embassy source said this action would be lodged with the courts next year.

The source conceded that the companies are likely to ignore the proceedings, but argued the move would heap pressure on the world's biggest oil and gas firms to ignore any black gold found in the Falklands. As a result, any discoveries would remain buried under the sea bed, as the explorers would not have the balance sheets to fund full-scale production.
