Member Info for Albi1

Wishing you happy truck racing/writing. Which field I wonder might the AS be heading to now ...:}

Corral Part

I assume you're referring to Alibi? I think he's a he. Easy mistake to make.

I'm not sure where everyone got this certainty that there would be an RNS by or before the AGM for 'FOIL' or rather the completion of the commissioning phase (3-4 weeks) and 72 hour testing to be precise.

The target is and always has been end of H1 - 30 June. So, yes, it would be very nice if it happened 24 days earlier than anticipated, i.e. today or tomorrow, but actually Hurricane are on schedule, probably ahead at this point. Nothing to be disappointed in at all.

Actually, the perils of Google. Should have researched the meaning of 'Inselaffen' more thoroughly. Actually it is considered a very derogatory term by some, by others a lighthearted poke at English hooligans abroad, don't recommend using it anytime soon, likely to cause offence.

I'm going to avoid mention of Hartlepool's nick name for the same reason as that may have more unpleasant connotations and I just don't have the time to do a proper check on it!

Not heard this one before ... though it seems to apply to the Brits rather than the English alone.

"The name Inselaffen used in Germany, which means Island Monkeys. Despite the reference to monkeys, the term is not derogatory, quite the reverse actually, as the term comes from the German's amazement at how agile British builders are when climbing ladders and scaffolding on building sites."

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question in its widest sense. I'm afraid my heart sank a little this morning when I read the detail posted by Yuyus. My concern was exactly as you say:

Re. error - "but maybe also condoned by drilling management in town, or even a direct instruction on the part of said management, and the guy in the field being either inexperienced or not having the balls to argue with his bosses."

Whatever the cause I hope lessons are learnt and not repeated.

Well the Australians took it on with 'Limey's' and I suspect every other country in the world has a nickname for our 4th quarter.

I'm interested and no it's not relevant to Hurricane but it helps to form a picture of someone and where they might be coming from. It's female trait to view things from a more holistic social angle, so it may irritate a lot of men on here, I do appreciate.

Wellwell,

Mother's side from the Highlands (McDonalds), father's side more Hawick and latterly Glasgow.

Wellwell,

I tend to take it all with a pinch of salt by now:}

So based in Aberdeen but are you Scottish?

I pretty much will believe anything until proven otherwise, it's exhausting!

Wellwell,

My parents were both from Scotland, at times your dour (no offence meant by that by the way) humour is not lost on me.

Wellwell,

Out of interest, which part of Scotland are you from?

Glad we got that cleared up, meanwhile SP bouncing up, well doing better than most of the UK market at the moment anyway.

So, Goonerboy, found the data - read it. Apart from depth and lat/ongtitude - which I guess may show a change of direction? I'm none the wiser for it. Hey ho ....

Thanks GB

Thanks Cebo,

That adds up (as much as it can!) appreciate both SSSV and Yuyus have knowledge in this area though SSSV may be closer to the ground as it were.

I'll read the O&G update and repost here. Yuyu's posts conflicts with SSSV and I guess vice versa. For those not in the industry a translation would probably be really appreciated ...

Thanks Goonerboy

Neither links work, not sure why, but if folk are interested they can always create a login and search under Hurricane for latest reports.
