Husband asked his wife if I won lotto what would you doTITS I hope you’re not getting soft, we don’t want you sugar coating things!
@Xerof as far as JAG not telling anyone he’s Chinese, Cashy reckons he’s been selling lobstersto them since they put tariffs on them, but just keep that between us
Also don’t have too many margaritas at the library, remember what happened last time
@John25 how come your not at work
Someone earlier in the week who prefers to ask questions rather than doing any actual research himself was asking about whether Antoinette was coming to Aus to present at the Africa Down Under event, last I heard she was doing it via video link but I suggest that person get off his lazy arse and start posting information rather always asking for it.
That’s all the commentary I’ve got for a Friday, there’s usually some good joke teller’s sometimes turn up here on Friday, we could do with a few…. I’ve got to take the beagle - basset for a walk, he’s only got a bit over a week before he gets put down for telling bullshit
In the meantime this is all I’ve got….
An old bloke has been feeling off for a few weeks and finally decides to go to the doctors
Upon his arrival he notices how young and beautiful the receptionist is and daydreams about being young again and wishing he could be with someone like her
The doctor checks him out and is quite worried and decides to do some tests on the old bloke and tells him to come back in a week for the results
A week later the old bloke, feeling even worse, goes back for his results and again notices the young gorgeous receptionist
She shows him in to see the doctor and the doctor looks at the man and says “You’re results have come back and I have some good news and some bad news”
The old bloke says “Ok doc, give me the bad news”…. The doctor says “I’m afraid the results show you only have a week or two left to live”
“Oh no!!” said the old bloke, “what’s the good news”
The doctor says “See my receptionist out there, I’m rooting her”
PS I hope no one here actually thought I’d changed since the Mantle days
Wife said I would take half and leave you
Husband said ok great I won $30.00 here is $15 stay in touch

love it mate, back from the library, swapped 15 Lee Childs books, (fuck Jack Reacher, he is actually a lot shorter than me
), for some very old John Fowles books - he's dead now, but his stories weave some magic.Actually no, books are just a cover story
I had a six pack of Sawmill IPA crafts, then one of my community mates plied me with some random Italian red, which was shit, so I've come home and poured a Margarita or two, based on my infamous recipe for 6 - maybe 2 left for tomorrow
I'd be listening to the Bassett mate - think he has a good solid story to tell, but you're right, have him put down next Monday if you think he's barking mad
@wombat74 you realise that AVZ has the sunglasses this time?
8, only 5 Monday

I don't have any jokes at the moment - working on it

I see where the Watch Dog is still Barking Mad at the Yellow Peril ( Sicomines ) screwing the DRC
Sicomines: Jules Alingete wants a contract revised to 20 billion dollars
The Chinese contract must increase from 3 to 20 billion dollars, according to the IGF for a better re-balancing between the DRC and the Chinese Enterprise Group.
Jules Alingete is keen on a binding commitment of $17 billion in additional investment from GEC.
Storm warning for Sicomines. Faced with the intransigence of Jules Alingete, the Chinese managers of Sicomines are threatening to send a large section of Congolese staff back on technical leave.
Friendship yes… But not silliness, braces the IGF
In the tempestuous negotiations on the revisitation of the Chinese contract, mines versus infrastructure, President Félix Tshisekedi recommended a dose of consideration of the eternal Sino-Congolese friendship.
Certainly.
However, the intractable Jules Alingete Key, head of the General Inspectorate of Finance (IGF), does not expect to give in to the Chineseness of the firms of the Middle Kingdom, which would do a little too much...
The Chinese are plotting stratagems of resisting any amendment.
Started in June 2023, the negotiations on the revisitation of the famous barter mark more steps than points.
Yellow Peril
On July 10, the temperate Jules Alingete moved up a notch on the scale of ire, disconcerted by the haughty attitude of the delegates from Chinese companies, Crec, Sinohydro and Exim Bank.
That day, leaving the Palais de la Nation – the equivalent of the White House in the DRC – the head of the IGF department took offense at what he described as yellow neo-colonialism to which , according to him, the Congolese will not be able to submit.
At the end of February, the report from the General Inspectorate of Finance denounced the unbalanced nature of this Chinese contract concluded during the time of Joseph Kabila, 15 years ago.
Not only did Sicomines, the joint venture created by the Chinese Enterprise Group (GEC) and Gécamines, hardly bring in “a few billion dollars” as the first minister, Matata Ponyo, boasted in May 2012 in front of the National Assembly, but above all a number of infrastructures, for which the Chinese side was entitled to draw cobalt and copper from the Katangese copper belt, and no doubt other undeclared related minerals, have not experienced the beginning of start of investments in infrastructure.
Non-compliance with commitments
These include 3,000 km of railways, 31 hospitals with 150 beds and 145 health centers in each of 145 territories of the DRC.
The initial value of all the projects agreed in this barter was 6.5 before being reduced by more than half, to 3 billion dollars, following pressure from the IMF, and behind the scenes, from Western countries.
However, Jules Alingete deplores that the DRC has brought into the mixed economy mining society, in addition to deposits valued at more than 50 billion dollars, a tax exemption regime which has hardly had the expected effects.
While Chinese companies have already made more than $10 billion in profits as part of this partnership!
The DRC has until now only been content with small fry, infrastructure valued at 822 million dollars, the rest overcharged, according to the IGF.
For Jules Alingete's service, considering the contributions of each party in Sicomines, it is crystal clear that the DRC has been cheated, because its shares are established at 32% compared to 68 for the GEC.
The DRC wants to regain its rights
Thus Jules Alingete and his IGF mobilize the strategic committee engaged in negotiations with the Chinese not to waver as the DRC's demands are all well-founded.
The strategic committee includes in particular the ministers of Infrastructure, Budget, Finance, Mines, Gécamines, the Steering Agency for coordination and monitoring of the collaboration agreement signed between the DRC and private partners (APCSC), the secretariat executive of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) and naturally of the IGF.
Jules Alingete is keen to obtain substantial financial compensation for the grievances raised in the Chinese contract.
And these damages must be accompanied, firstly, by a change in the distribution of capital and profits in Sicomines.
Secondly, the mining joint venture must be based on a new balanced distribution of responsibilities as well as an increase in the amount of Chinese investments in infrastructure, at least by doubling, i.e. from 3 to 6 billion dollars in the short term, before to bring the bill to $17 billion.
Third, respecting deadlines in the construction and delivery of agreed infrastructure.
On the Chinese side, failing to veto Jules Alingete's claims, they seem to be building a wall around the advantages acquired during Kabila's time.
Another time, other customs, we respond to the IGF.

Don't worry Dave set em' straight on a few things
Yes it’s all too little too late for Dave, Frank…. He’s sick of the bullshit and begun posting facts and it looks like Antoinette is trying to find a way to save face and the DRC Ministry of Mines tarnished image (as she calls it) to international investors

I heard from my sources that’s it’s 7 days until Cash gets his new lawn mower
Zero chance in getting cash for a new lawnmower in 7 days through share sale … even if we got positive news on Monday allowing us to file to the asx for reopening ; it will still take about 2 months for the process of reopening to be complete

Na mate. From time to notify the ASX of relisting you are looking around 2-3 weeks, not months.

Our suspension is no longer voluntary, I can't imagine this will be the case. Criteria will need to be satisfied.
