It's a major risk to a rig is gas in the water, just enough escaped to blow up the Gulf rig, if ther'd been more she'd likely have sunk a'la the Burma example. All sorts of stuff you never hear about goes on day after day. Like all the munitions washing around like pebbles on the seabed.

Worked over there years ago for a few days at a time, was a great place, troubles were ongoing but it was during one of the first ceasefire's, I asked some of the locals I was dealing with (from both sides of the line) if I'd be OK going out for a pint on my own, I was told aye it's no bother either side of the river BUT was told If I was in one certain pub on the proddy side (can't remember it's name) at last orders, they play the national anthem and "make sure you stand up" - bollox to that !!!!! As an aside, stayed in the Everglades Hotel (incongruous name for a hotel in damp Derry) and it's probably the best hotel I've stayed in in my entire life, staff food, service, room all absolutely top notch, even accounting for the bullet hole (not all the way through mind) in the monstrously thick window.

Is that you ?? You are the spitting dabs of Wullie of NO, he looks about 6 stone wet through and 12 years old an all. The secret is don't abuse how people look till you've put a pic of yourself up though. What you hoping to achieve by saying that anyway? Gross insecurity. Not hoping to achieve anything, just pointing out a similarity. As for insecurity, I doubt it, way past all that shit. BTW why'd you post a pic of youself attempting to break into a house through the french doors ??? Surely saying something negative about how someone appears directly to them is a sign of insecurity? Nope, it's a sign of being a cheeky cunt, he fucking does look like Wullie though

I bet they're both really jealous They should be jealous, I'm not a virgin Not fat as fuck, and it's early fifties you cheeky young scamp

Not met anyone, but I'd like to know how Andrew persuaded Mr Muscle to pose for his avatar

Yes but I don't think they'll be able to stop it anytime soon, about 2 months till the relief platforms are in place. I have a bad feeling about this. The relief wells won't stop it though, they'll just reduce the pressure, it'll still be leaking. As I understand it, the relieft wells will stop the leak entirely by the end of August (if things go to plan). Don't see how they can unless they are drilling into the existing well sideways from a distance and redirecting the flow. It's like having a giant balloon with a hole in it, making two new holes isn't going to stop the air escaping from the original hole, sort of.

From what I've heard: Haliburton recommended 21 centralisers be used on the well (from what I've been told a centraliser is a "thing" put down the well around the drill to help the concerete set evently to reinforce the well itself) BP had 6 on site, they said fuck it, go ahead although another 15 were found onshore but drillmaster said it'd cost 10 hours and they went ahead with 6. When drilling a well it's usual to circulate the mud full depth and check for gas as that effects the concrete setting, they only checked surface mud. When a wells drilled they send a piece of sensor kit down which in essence checks the laid concrete to ensure it's solid and not fragmented (which is what gas can do to it), drillmaster again (glad I'm not him) said fuck it, it'll cost 12hours. All to save $26 million, bet they wish they'd just lost the 26mill. Evidently they also knew the blow out preventer had no back up (as it was knackered).

There is no scientific method available to us that can prove we are the cause of Global Warming. Read Popper. Irrespective of what, or how we pump crap into the ecosystem at the end of the day the planet will be fine, we may not be, but hey ho. Millions and millions of years of heating and cooling and all of a sudden it's all our fault Bit like dark matter, maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't.

Why's that?? FoA

Humans are responsible for 3% of atmospheric Co2. Global warming is made up. Lock it. I disagree, man made global warming is made up, but I think a totally natural cycle of warming is a fact.

BP are well ferked if the "word on the, Oil capital of the UK, street" is anything to go by. Email's from suppliers (Haliburton for one) recommending certain things be done, ignored, because they were up against a $26 mill penalty to start production, and some common drilling practices willfully shortcutted. Alledgedly of course.

What a waste of money, bet they got Legal Aids an all

Recent history would suggest that's more to do with a certain Swiss blokey rather than age.

Very good point. Platt, Gazza and Lineker for all the better for playing abroad. Don't know about Gazza like. Waddle's probably a better example. I don't think it's the underlying issue though. It's about not coaching kids to have a good first touch and awareness. Kick and rush rules at grassroots level. I know it's hard to change a culture but it's also about the coaches being available. It takes 3 times as long to get the Uefa pro licence in Spain as it does in England but they've got ten times more coaches. It's sad because you've got all this money being pumped into English football but we had more technical players in the pre-Premier League Italia 90 side. That was probably down to luck admittedly but what world class English players have come through since then? Not many in 20 years. Even the better players (Gerard for example) have the first touch of a rapist. loads of money does get pumped in, then it's syphoned straight out into the players and agents pockets. The players just are not good enough, never have been, they get blown up by the sycophants out of all proportion. As ever though the johny-foreigner manager will get the blame and the common denominator from all the tournament disasters will sail blithely on ego's intact.

Liar!!!!!!!!!!!!! The French were already surpressed way before the Tiger 2 was introduced

:icon_lol: Is that with reference to that bloke who flew in the BOB, with one arm and one leg who shot 22 of them down? Assuming it's Douglas Bader, who lost his legs in a flying accident pre war, became a Wing Leader before being shot down and captured. Coincidently I have his autograph on a rather fine first edition print by Taylor. I'm guessing like Bader you are a little stumpy twat Didn't realise you were a military man, TP. Am not, WW2 aeroplanes are my secret trainspotter-ism So basically you're into Military History and you're pretty pro-War yet you've never been in the forces? Funny and a little bit tragic tbh. As ever that's a reach?? I am not pro-war at all, just accept sometimes it happens (or needs to happen) and when it does it's bad.

The modern player is basically a big soft girl, so Adidas have given them built in sports bra's so when they fall over with monotonous regularity they dont hurt their tits.

:icon_lol: Is that with reference to that bloke who flew in the BOB, with one arm and one leg who shot 22 of them down? Aye, I started calling Danny B it for a while. I.e. hasn't got a leg to stand on. He lost both legs in a plane crash I think and then was later allowed to fly again for the RAF. Also, was he the one with the dog called 'Nigger'? Apparently he trained it to shit in the neighbours garden. :icon_lol: :icon_lol: What a fuckin legend. The one with the dog was Guy Gibson, commander of 617 Squadron - The Dam Busters. The dog was killed (run over) on the day of the raid and his name used as the codeword for the Mohne (I think) dam breaking. Dog's grave is still at RAF Scampton and says the name big and proud

They always were Craig. There was no way the one with the nufc shop tag wasn't finished product. Puma, perfect cheap arse product that fat fuckwit loves. A lad posted on Skunkers that he had something to do with Puma and that the badges were deffo going to be embroidered. I cut and pasted that in this thread somewhere. It was itself a cut and paste onto skunkers from somewhere else. Who are you on skunkers btw I'm same as here, my avatar went down well over there
