Drilling For Oil.

[Padders]

I've got a large back garden, so I've been thinking..

Due to the abnormal price of oil, I've been thinking of making a killing.

I've long suspected that there may be vast deposits of oil beneath my feet..

So I'm going to start my very own oil company "GUSHPAD OIL DEPOSITS" or God for short.

Obviously this will take a lot of investment, and at the moment I'm skint.

So I need investors,  What I'm going to do is float GOD on the stock exchange with my Portfolio, this will cause a stampede of get rich quick merchants..

First of all, I would like to offer shares in my company to all the get rich quick merchants on SF.

Initially the shares will be offered at £50 each, when I go public, their value will almost certainly double or even treble.

Of course it could be risky, but for £50 it's a risk worth taking..

This is a liquid gold opportunity to take part in this enterprise. 

Join me in this venture, remember "GOD" is great.

Sounds like a great idea, wiring all of my savings right now

Sensible fella.

Hi Padders.  I've been looking into this for you before even considering parting with my valuable beer-tokens, and have come up with a resource that may be of use to you.  I've found it well written and informative, especially about the DECC approval process:

Hmmm...

Page 10 of Mr Thirsty's research document seems particularly confusing, Mr Padders...

... unless you also happen to be fluent in acronymatology!

The Beverly Hillbillies won't have had any of these licenses so why should you Padders.

Interested but I think the oil might be in short supply.

 

There will probably be loads of coal.  Can't we crush that to powder and water it down to make oil?

Doubt if that would work, but could probably market it as pretend oil.
