Posted by "ruby t" on iii-BB, NOP of course.
"Good post also been in since early days....have a bit nore shares than yourself on counting i have a holding of 326694 shares and happy to hold."
Now assuming that ruby is not an american jockey but is in fact female, it counters the long-held believe of men, that women are not easily satisfied.
There is also the less important verification that DM and his happy band are still where there are because there are people holding NOP shares who are happy to see £200k ish of their money disappear.
I wouder if ruby is single....?
I have well-connected friends in Rowlands Castle, so will let you know how Derek's period of "accelerated progress" at Markwell's Wood is going.

Ban cut-price alcohol to save lives, leading doctors warn

Alcoholic drinks sold at "pocket-money prices" in supermarkets are costing thousands of lives and must be made more expensive, a group of leading doctors and academics warns today.


By Rowena Mason, Political Correspondent
9:51PM GMT 13 Dec 2011


In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, medical experts urge the Government to take "bold action" and follow the lead of Scotland by bringing in minimum prices for drinks.

They say current policies are not going far enough to prevent thousands of deaths from alcohol-related diseases every year.

They made the appeal before a debate by MPs in Westminster today on alcohol taxation. The Government is to announce its new "alcohol strategy" early next year.

Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, has been reluctant to consider a minimum price per unit for fear it would fall foul of EU competition regulations.

The letter from 19 health experts says that the Scottish plans for minimum pricing are a "simple and effective mechanism" for tackling alcohol-related deaths and social problems.

BLACK GOLD Paul Strudwick, site manager at Northern Petroleums Rowlands Castle site, pours some of the discovered oil




Published on Tuesday 13 December 2011 12:54

THICK black oil pours into a bucket – giving hope there may be a fortune hiding beneath the South Downs.

Engineers from Northern Petroleum have been testing for oil in the heart of the South Downs National Park since September.

And so far the results have been staggering.

The oil coming up from more than 4,000ft beneath Forestside, near Rowlands Castle, is virtually undiluted, as shown in our picture, right.

It is so pure that Northern Petroleum boss Derek Musgrove believes the site, located at Markwells Wood, may be commercially viable if the tests continue to be so fruitful.

He believes that anything up to five million barrels of crude oil – worth more than £300m – may be beneath the ground at Forestside.

It could be part of a larger oil reservoir that stretches as far as Havant.

Mr Musgrove, managing director of Northern Petroleum, said: 'We have been pumping oil that is virtually water free.

'We will now go to the next phase which is to go to a 24-hour-a-day operation.

'That requires the installation of lighting for health and safety reasons.'

As reported in The News, the firm is renting a small section of the woods to drill for oil.

If the current tests continue to show a high quality of oil, the site could go into commercial production.

Extracting oil in the South Downs has been criticised by green groups, but Mr Musgrove stressed that environmental impact has been kept to a minimum.

Mr Musgrove said: 'If it's there, why wouldn't you extract it?

'I don't think this is a highly invasive, polluting process.

'It's probably less invasive that the average pig or chicken farm. It's never going to be enormous.

'If you produce a 100 barrels of oil a day, you are saving 10,000 dollars of imports. The British economy needs this kind of industry.'

Paul Strudwick, 44, site manager, said: 'We try not to impact the local community too much with what's going on. We keep the noise to a minimum with the type of equipment we are using.'

Northern Petroleum has also got planning permission to build a testing rig in a field off Hulbert Road, Leigh Park.

But Mr Musgrove said the Havant scheme was on hold.

He said: 'We must have a further discussion with the landowner before we make any decision about whether to proceed.' Mr Musgrove said there were no immediate plans to drill for oil in any other part of the South Downs, although the company has identified potential oil reserves at Clanfield and Hinton Manor, near Catherington.

Mr Musgrove said: 'There's is potential in the area. Are we rapidly moving to drill a lot more? No.'

Oil extraction has taken place at Horndean since 1988 by the firm Star Energy.
