00:00 - 00:03Monthly Operations Meeting
00:04 - 00:05The field is large and conatins much hydrocarbon
00:05 - 00:07We have drilled some wells with massive gas tests
00:08 - 00:12Hmmmmm ... "Wall of Cash"
00:12 - 00:15The distance to the export pipeline is short
00:17 - 00:19How long will this take to put online?
00:19 - 00:21To get that money?
00:24 - 00:26We said
00:27 - 00:2860 days
00:31 - 00:33But it's taken a couple of years
00:34 - 00:36It is what it is
00:53 - 00:58Everyone not involved in Operations leave the room
01:13 - 01:15WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT!
01:15 - 01:17I told everyone 60 days like a broken record player
01:18 - 01:23You set up your Rum Tents and had your parties
01:25 - 01:28Everyone was wasted, even the good girls
01:29 - 01:31You were supposed to be responsible team leaders
01:31 - 01:34I was riding Horses at the Art Gallery
01:34 - 01:37How can I run a Company from another Country?
01:37 - 01:40If none of you can get this done without me?
01:40 - 01:42The Rum was much stronger than we expected
01:42 - 01:46Jesus Man, are you a lightweight sissy?
01:46 - 01:48The Casc A facility is complete now sir
01:48 - 01:52And the production has fallen through the floor
01:53 - 01:54There is no Wall of Cash
01:56 - 01:57What are we going to do now?
01:57 - 02:00Go out and raise more capital in the market?
02:00 - 02:03And dilute the living hell out of the shareholders?
02:04 - 02:08And what about that Bridge?
02:08 - 02:13How long can it possibly take to build a bridge?
02:14 - 02:16Get the bloody rig drilling wells
02:17 - 02:21So we can tie them in to get online
02:27 - 02:29To improve the cashflow
02:30 - 02:34How are we going to pay my insane salary without more cash?
02:34 - 02:36Salary and free shares is why I am here
02:41 - 02:42And now I have to go to London
02:43 - 02:47Another First Class flight, good food, and a comfy seat that lies flat like a bed
02:48 - 02:53Fancy hotel with big pillows and satin sheets
02:54 - 02:56Hat in hand meetings
02:56 - 02:59On my knees taking what they have to give
03:00 - 03:02Do you understand how humiliating it is?
03:04 - 03:07It doesn't mean he's gay .....
03:14 - 03:16And the little worm didn't even pay .....
03:19 - 03:23Farked me twice, I can't look in the mirror
03:25 - 03:26I got properly screwed
03:31 - 03:33I look like an amateur Rodeo Clown
03:40 - 03:46We should offer directors loans and buy shares ourselves
03:46 - 03:49But none of us ever do it
03:53 - 03:56Hang your heads in shame
