'equal to the average annualized exponential regression slope'
Yea, we cor ain't got the stuff.
I'm just going to have some beans.

Part of his NCD (narsissistic personality disorder) - look it up, he's got most of the symptoms.

So do you think we will see a series of litigations arising if people haven't got the true graphene they expected to buy?

19-20 knots. Is it planing yet? At that speed the captain must have stopped skiing behind so as not to slow her down!
But at that speed AM would need 2 to 3 times the power than at the rated speed which we are told is 9/10 (?) knots.

perefarol = peripheral

Typical brash American - shoot first then engages brain. Trouble is he doesn't have a brain.

' I.ve sat with zero heating bcos I knew the boiler had a Wifi thermostat controller and as I.m currently changing my Wifi provider there was no point in trying to use the boiler, run hot water until my new router appears. It.s been bloomin freezing and I was utterly sick of boiling the kettle to wash etc.'
I change my temperature by twiddling a simple knob on the front. I drop the temperature before I go to 'Greggs' and turn it up when I get back.
Simples.

" It was a one off, so then is it any surprise that the (very) narrow losers are in such a kerfuffle about it? "
Not that narrow.
About 8%. Not 4% as some people say.
Divide number of Brexiteers by number of remainers. Sinple maths.

Beans? They are brown and grow in a tin.
Cows are far too big to eat and don't fit inside tins easily..
I don't have a goose and I don't think gooses eat beans. Maybe geeses do?.

I think we should have a second referendum with two options; stay in or don't vote.

'I give to Greenpeace, but buy Oil shares, shop at LIDL, and live on baked potatoes. Confused? I am!#
I just have some beans.

Perhaps a few more locks needed

So now we have to hope that the counterbalance 1kg does not deteriorate!

Davis is a yaaboo lightweight, not a statesman

Don't be surprised that boats go out to ships to inspect any possible repairs/replacements needed. Not a revelation, standard practiice to save time.
In 1960s/70s engineers were flown out from Falmouth by helicopter to meet ships requiring attention to shorten delays and save time in port. or moored in Carrick Roads.

"We have planned for all possibilities."
But until a route through all the turmoil and a conclusion arrives, how can any company decide what it wants to plan for in the future. Is it any wonder all SP's are in limbo?

They've yabbered on 88e ever since i've known them. Some a lot of rubbish but unfortunately that seems to attract even more rubbish.
Some very good people though.

I think we're saying; anything can happen - at anytime.
Hence the inbuilt slack in programmes.

Brilliant wellwell, you've analysed it as it is. No historyonics like from some people who don't know, just practical cold analysis. Some here need to go into a ships machinery spaces to realise how many systems there are to cover all the ships functions; propulsion, power generation, oil & fuel transfers pumps, coolers, filters, starting systems, bilge pumps, hotel services for a start.
On two sea trials I attended crankcase explosions caused engine stoppage and engine room evacuation. Mandatory explosion doors on the crankcase saved the engine. Cylinder liners had overheated and cracked. Pulling the pistons showed overheating and extreme lack of piston cooling. As engine builders we could not understand it.
After the second failure a long survey of the engine room after hours of searching found the cause. The pistons were cooled on a separate 4" pipe circuit with its own pumps, oil coolers and filters. In their own 'wisdom' the ship builder had ignored the engine makers recommended sytem of a bank of large oil filters and fitted a small 6" diameter in line filter which had severely restricted the piston oil flow thus causing the failure.
Expect the unexpected and don't trust the ship yard on everything.
Not that anything like that happened here but a fault was found which had to be resolved so as not to compromise safety. Safety is uber important, there is no AA at sea.
I guess they know the problem, it's what's required and how long to fix. Don't worry, the industry is geared up to get things fixed quickly and slack is built into any programme..
Upwards and onwards.

'The only thing that can go wrong now is that that tomorrow the world wakes up and says no to oil. I cannot see that happening, just yet.'
Before that happens the world has to provide the total infrastructure of a base power electric world( or other alternatives) and I see, as of yet, no major moves from governments to provide the wherewithall for that to happen. Planning, regulation change, design, construction isn't going to happen overnight, or a thousand nights.
So we might wish no oil overnight, but it just isn't going to happen.
It's interesting to hear that Scotlands energy was nearly all produced from alternative means, but how low does that go when the wind is not co-operating? Some parts of the world haven't any possibility of moving to alternative energy yet..
