Fair enough mucker. I had a couple of really tough shifts the last two days as well. Our crew cost AkerBP in excess of $1,000,000 additional rig rental due to a fuck up. ? This also resulted in the company I working for losing 30% of the whole contract price.  

 

We can can come back to playing another time. 

Oh, and I've got a rant about fetching this evenings takeaway to think about.

Anyone know the truth behind this story? It says "Farmers reacted angrily to claims that they were largely responsible for a nitrogen oxide emissions problem."       But from what I can tell agriculture in Holland is only responsible for 3% of nitrogen oxide emissions so whats going on?

Excellent, good for the Dutch farmers, attempting to highlight the blinkered attitudes of city dwelling climate change activists, plus their specifically drawing attention to air travel and in particular the Grand Prix's ostentatious extravaganza of conspicuous consumption.

Why do I think "bread and circus"

One thing I love abt le French farmere is that they are out on the streets with tractors at the drop of a wellie. They stand up for their lifestyle ( ok, the huge wad of cash ) in a way we don't.  K

It could well be that they have a master stroke to play and they don’t want to forewarn those who are hell bent on frustrating the democratic majority vote. ... (That they all initially promised to uphold)
Just because Bercow and his treacherous shyster mates have been able to manipulate the process to compel Boris to go and ‘humbly beg’ Europe like some kind of masochistic gimp for an extension to this misery, doesn’t necessarily mean he will be ‘successful’.
Maybe Liz is more enlightened than she’s letting on.
