The concept is totally brilliant. Outdoors, interacting, shared interests etc.

If people of all ages enjoy it and they are harming no one then who are we to to judge?

concept yes, but in practice, well, lets just say that yesterday i witnessed a toddler walk into Ann Summers in York, hopefully not to look for lingery and rubber cocks at that age, while the mother was walking about 10 yards ahead, staring at her phone, that had the app running, quietly saying "come along now XXXXX, keep up with mummy"

i'm all for the yoofs getting out and about, but i draw the line at potential kidnappings

nice, very interesting.

This. Just went and googled 'how do you build an oil rig' on the strength of those pictures. Incredible stuff.

Where are you at the moment teamonkey?

Currently we are on the Tartan oilfield

http://subseaiq.com/data/Project.aspx?project_id=1146&AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

and we are plugging up an old well that is no longer efficient

i think in this case, we are going deep into the well, and pulling out a lot of the steel tubing (casing) that the oil runs up from the reservoir.

the idea is, that when we leave, there will be a small hole left in the seabed that will quickly be filled by the sediment so no one can tell we were there

strangely, the casing that is left might be one of the few things that the next sentient race to inhabit this earth will find of our existence, proof of previous life and all that

So, i, or we, my fellow offshore chaps and chappesses, have now moved to a new location, to decommission an old well that is no longer in use.

and to get there, we have a little assistance from a couple of boatymcboatfaces

so one photo is the view from my window

the other is the view from one of the boats

this one has produced a lot of debate on fb. a puzzle for chinese school kids

show reasoning!

mathematically, without making assumptions, this is unsolvable as the third part of the equation has two unknowns in it due to the blue flower not being the same as the previous blue flowers in the first and second equations

if we are allowed to assume that the number of petals = the value of the flower, then the answer would be 81

there's a bit of paper somewhere in Hereford with my squiggle on it stating that i agree not to write about things i've been part of

but if you buy me a pie i'm happy to talk about it

i do love a pie

mmmm pie

the industry def has too much money if it can't work out a more efficient way of testing!

i would have agreed with you before i became a slave to the wages mr titbean.

however, when you put it into perspective, we flared off for just under the 24 hours, approx half a million dollars of oil (at current value) was burnt to prove the well was sustainable

the rig i am sitting on is going into what we call a "hot stack" soon, whereby it will sit in the firth outside the village of Invergorden, untill it is next hired again

and the approximate cost of that hire, including all staff, equipment (including the ROV system i operate, is a mere £500,000 a day, thats right, about half a milly a day, to rent the services of a single rig

this industry is an expensive industry, so burning off a bit of oil is literally a drop in the (oil) ocean

its cheaper to burn it off, than to rig up a system for storing that small amount of oil

Currently staring at fish arses!!! it's not all rock n roll and fireballs

hot damn

thats some ripping

now go sleep, then rip some more later!!!!!!

so happy to be a part of this adventure, missed it all in times gone past, but am holding on tight now, and loving it

I feel like you should stick it in Jeff's arse. Jeff this Jeff that. Don't you know who you are??

wrong forum

incredible rippage occuring

scenes of arses all over the place

that Jeff is one hell of a player

i am unsure what to do with my upcoming fortune


go teeks go!!!!!

currently on an oilrig that has succesfully drilled into and opened up a section of an oil reservoir and is currently carrying out a "flow test"

this means they have to test the output of the well. In order to do this, they see how much oil is coming out over a period of time, typically 24 hours or so, to see if the pressure remains constant through the time period.

that means a lot of oil/gas needs to be gotten rid of, and the usual way to do this, is to light it up (flare it off)

we are currently flowing at a rate of 12,500 barrels of oil per 24 hours

meaning that at $50 a barrel, we have burnt off over $600,000 worth of oil, in order to prove that the well is going to be profitable over the term of it's life.

Very sad & amazed at the reaction, or la k of, from the typical straight person.

Not seen anyone talk about this on Facebook & this post only got 5 replies. If this was in a typical nightclub the response would have been different by others.

It's only the gay community that cares.

think i have to disagree here, i'm currently on an oil rig with 110 big burly oil workers on it, all of whom appear to be very hetero, and there has been a huge amount of talk about this situation, and not the type of "the bummers deserve it" talk, but the "how can shit like this keep happening, it's a disgrace" type talk.

blonde is a tiny proportion of the populace, i'd tend not to think of us as a representation of the rest of the world.

It's a knockout right? Very important info if so as pot odds change dramatically

yes, a knockout, not sure if regular or supr progressive type tho

thoughts here?

paid my dues

check your bank please Mr K, it's coffers should have swollen by a mighty £50
