Thor, for information contact: Robert J. Nielson 801-277-0744

Wait! Wait! Don't say it, no no no, please don't say that others have
called and got no answer/reply or got double talk. Did you Thor try,
and if not, then why ? Or might I say, Why Not Try ? Sure, you can
call to yell and scream and bad mouth Global+Jensen, but what value
would that give you in return ? You know, something expected for your
efforts so that it was a worth while thing to do.

Forget legal action, shareholder action, Bre-X_II, hard stares and
letters to regulatory agencies. Its a high risk speculative stock
of a non reporting company that walked its talk and is still walking
the talk, and may talk some more for more walking. The value of your
gpgi shares are worth whatever you sell them for, and since you are
still holding them, there value has not yet been determined. Want to
worry, then worry that this company will go Bankruptcy 11 to 7 as most
of this type do. You came here and did a buy because of a possible
very big increase in share value, and you knew that the flip side was
as big and possible.

Jensen said this and that, and did this and that, and this and that
don't match up. So what, or was there some kind of written guarantee
or high certaintly element included with this high speculation.

If so, then this was not a high speculation stock since they give none.

Jensen did a lot of "metal in the hand" talk from day 1 to get investors interested
in a moon shot. But he knew and you knew that a sales pitch from one selling
a rags to riches story always had an element of wonder and hope and high
expection for the future.

Good, and last time I looked at my calendra we all here still have some future
left in this year. Jensen never told you when, just soon, and you knew that
soon was to be, as soon as possible, or later or when it happens then Jensen
will tell us.

Jensen is trying to make it happen.
You investment was made and payable to Jensen.
Jensen tried and never stopped trying and continues to try.
Jensen is doing what he decided to do BEFORE you gave him your money.
You brough into the Jensen way.
But you did not understand it.
Not Jensen's problem.
No refund or return.
Jensen has not yet delivered, but its possible.

Jensen could do a 100 to 1 consolidation and give everyone the shaft,
and if not voted in by the shareholders then Jensen can turn sour.

We on this thread only know of broken promises and no metal on the table
and lack of 2 way communication. There is no evidence of what Global
has done good bad etc because its non reporting and does not tell.
An ongoing lack of success and the waits are the nature of this type of
company for a big win or all lost. I see no evidence of a scam or
corruption, and bad or poor management is a call for the shareholders
to make and so far only a very small want that route. So again, I see
no evidence of illegal or corruption activity, and the management style
and ability to me is part of the gamble as I had and have no clue to Jensen's
and personnal activities. As for the stumble & fumble & dumbo, who can
say it would have been better or worst with a non Jensen. I still hold the opinion that the Twiford factor was the reason for a still
no success for Global. This is why I'am hopeful now because I see Jensen
bypassing Twiford with outside science and technical help.

A new day because of this, I see. And the day is young, 10 years late,
but the sun has just started on a new day, so I expect new output from Global
as in what they try and accomplish.

Flush the pee and crap down the tolit,
its old and not connected to this Global today,
and as another poster said that Jensen ain't the technical person,
and Twiford now has "company" and can't spoon feed Jensen chit anymore.

Aaaahhh, let's go back to the good ole days.

Talk : Gold Price Monitor

Why did most people get married in June ? (in the good ole days)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Because they took their yearly bath in May and were still
smelling good by June. However, they were starting to smell,
so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the odor.

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."
-----------------------------------------------
Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had
the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other men, then the
women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the
water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the
saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

"It's raining cats and dogs."
-----------------------------
Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath.
It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets dogs, cats,
and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained
heavy, it became slippery and the animals would slip and fall off the roof.
Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs."

Also, there was nothing to stop things from falling into the house.
This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings
could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds
with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem.
Hence those beautiful big four-poster beds with canopies.

"dirt poor" & "thresh hold"
---------------------------
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt,
hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would
get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor
to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on they kept adding more
thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside.
A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold."

"Peas porridge hot ... cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
They cooked in the kitchen in a big kettle that always hung over the
fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They
mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew
for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then
start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been
in there for a month. Hence the rhyme, "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge
cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old."

"chew the fat" & "bring home the bacon" & "living high on the hog"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when
that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon
and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man
"could bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share
with guests and would all sit around and "chew the fat."
Were they living "high on the hog" ?

eat tomatoes and you will get sick, so tomatoes = poison
--------------------------------------------------------
Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid
content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened
most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes for 400 years.

"trench mouth"
--------------
Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers - a piece of
wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never
washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off
wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth."

"the upper crust"
-----------------
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom,
the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust."

the custom of holding a "wake"
------------------------------
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would
sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the
road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were
laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would
gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up.
Hence the custom of holding a "wake."

"graveyard shift" & "saved by the bell" & "dead ringer"

England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury
people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a
house and reuse the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25
coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized
they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a
string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the
ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the
graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift"
they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a dead ringer."
