cemetary

Still haven't heard anything, is it still going ahead or what, why no one saying anything, is it a secret or what.

RIP Peter, condolences to the family at such a sad time.

Plenty in Invergordon, the thing is, them contracts will be filled, but the company with a good record can sweep the lot at a low price and maybe long term contracts, depends what's on the table. Eye you hiding in the tea shack when the works getting done tae, :emoticon-0136-giggle:

When you look at the long term contracts drilling rigs had just over a year ago, there day rate was sky high, infact it was top dollar, some company's was raking in around $500,000 a day, now they are down around $220,000 just to keep there heads above the parapit, but when it was high, the garden was all rosey. They are feeling the pinch that's for sure, but not as much as the guys that worked for them, having to take massive wage cuts just to put food on the table, and getting shafted because the high knobs have had a re-shuffle on the way they have to run there business. I for one don't feel anything for company's, I feel for the poor cents who have lost there jobs and all the business its affected. Its getting dearer at the pumps, but not much work coming through for the offshore ex workers, wonder why that is eh. As Alan has said about the de-commissioning, they have billions planked away for to have there structures removed, that's as safe as a brick in a house, that cant be touched. I hope it stays in British waters to allow some guys work, but there will be a twist in the tail, being cheaper to take it international waters as we don't have enough places for them to be berthed.

Alan, where does the $17 to take it out the ground come from.

Nonsense, what about the latest discovery's that has been found with large amounts, at the way the market has been for around a year, they are keeping it in the ground, cost nowt to keep it there, only small contracts are getting dished out, why, so they don't loose the licence to drill on that block. FACT,

The price at the pumps is creeping up slowly, maybe it will never return to the high price before the drop, but fingers crossed, to allow more work for all. It was just a couple owe weeks ago that a tanker was sitting aff the Forth due to bad weather and couldn't get into aff load into Grangemouth with fracking ,didnt here or read much, looks like that's what's going to happening in the future, eye, and that's BP. Bring back the coal mines.

Froog, don't want to live in Aberdeen, happy where I am, Aberdeen Oil Capital of Europe, Oil, never run out, new discovery's with high contents found every day, cheaper at this time to keep it in the ground. Down turn dosent just effect the guys in the North, its all over the noooooooooooooo :(

Just heard last night this is being held a week on Saturday 12th November, haven't seen anything on PB about it. Who is organising the dance, and what's the price of tickets, time etc. Surely the caterer needs numbers for the size of buffet. May take a trip up for a few, but will have to check ma diary first,

A don't really worry about the share holders, they have plenty in the bank, and for big company's, couldn't give a jack about them, they don't worry about there workforce either. There is almost 300 thousand + out of work world wide due to the down turn, shops, business etc, and it dosent look good until 2nd half of 2017.

Staring to get them around the garden also, don't want them here, so looks like the black widow will have to get working.

RIP

Hes a wee fat bloke with a guid heid owe hair and glasses, ^_^ hes going the night to the dance. So true Bill, he would help anyone out in the doo game.

R.I.P Benny.

Rhubarb, kept them for long enough to know them as a family. You've not a CLUE.

Am no wi yi here, whats yir point here what yir trying ti say.

No relation, but a friend on PB like others, why like ?

Ian, I had them for years. they will be fine about the loft as the same as a cat. More killed with the mink that the ferret/polecat as been proven. When I had mine I had chickens, they never looked near them, but I also had a cockerel running around the garden with them. .

Use to like the local club shows against 3 clubs, but its went down the drain.

I have friends who have them as house pets also. I was in the poaching game long enough to understand them. Had polecats and ferrets for around 20 + years, when I let them out in the garden , eye 14 owe them, they never went out the garden, and the guy a 100 yards had the doos.

Went to a well known fancier before he passed away, he did the same, had them in a basket to pick from, ( I paid money for the ones I was to pick from not him) money down the TUBES.
