If I climb the stairs from my pit and look out the bridge windows, I can see Lucy and her mates about 100yds away.
We were due to tow the drillship to America, so this has put an unexpected delay on proceedings........still, more time in NZ for us!
And Americarna is in town, handy coincidence that lolWe were due to tow the drillship to America, so this has put an unexpected delay on proceedings........still, more time in NZ for us!

Ah, too late to go up to the stadium and have a look - saw quite a few of the cars in town last night though. Some tasty motors kicking about this part of the world!Some pics from yesterday - the wind made short work of the banner, and they'd have been cold and miserable from the lashing rain last night:

I suppose she rowed there and oil had no part in her soapbox scaling antics...
No, she walked.Someone should syphon her tank whilst she's away from the car. And nick the wheels! Hehe.

Really? It's been a miserable summer. Is there anything of worthwhile size under Taranaki left to drill? I think one of the big oil companies where going to do some exploration over by Gisborne.I once met Lucy and she isn't nearly as attractive in real life as you might expect (which worries me because Jaime Murray who she appeared next to in Spartacus is my celebrity crush and now I can't ever meet her in case she isn't as lovely as on the TV).

Perhaps if Royal Dutch had listened to the objections re environmental constraints and made viable plans to address these same constraints then the ship would have sailed on time....

She's worried that even if Shell's fleet makes it to Alaska and never blows a single valve, it'll still pump tens of thousands of tons of pollution into Arctic skies, and global warming from the greenhouse gases and black carbon released by the fleet will melt off even more snow and ice in the polar regions
What plans can there be to address non-existent effects? Surely a non-existent plan matches perfectly? Summer arctic ice loss has no causal link to any human activity.Also are people playing off the BP spill referring to reality or the layers of ecohype piled on top?

Take reasonable precautions then take the risk. Which is far more than environ mentalists are doing in their relentless and baseless attempt to drive the economies of the developed world to destruction and the 'evil' humans living in them back to a localised medieval lifestyle.
If they succeed, tens of millions of people will die across a wide area, rather than merely the tens of thousands of extra dead who can't afford to heat their homes each winter in the UK due to nonsensical ennvironment and energy policies based on the same ecohype as wonderwoman's worries.
That's just saying too and without a smiley as this pile of carp isn't funny.

Still warmer than the UK though! We're only here for the tow - when the drillship goes, we go. So far we've had 6 weeks alongside......turbobloke said:

Time to get out and enjoy the sun/weather, perhaps you should too.
