The Deadly High Oil Price
Most people has probably seen that the price of gasoline and other oil products are much higher than it used to be a couple of years ago. The price for a barrel of oil was not long ago above 70$. This might be good for the oil companies and the countries that has oil on its premises, but not so good for people who drive i.e. a car.
The deadly part of the story, or at least one of the deadly parts, is that now all the low producing fields that were closed down suddenly becomes interesting again, and new reservoars are opened. And what happens then? More people is needed. Where do they get these people from? Other oil projects. Many of these people are HSE-people or people working directly with the oil rig safety.
We are now back to where we where in the early 90's. Not to mention names, oil companies are now putting production and money before the safety of the workers.
We(me and my colleagues) are no longer sure we garantee that it's safe to be out there. We have too little people, too large back log. It has to be another catastrophe to open the company leaders eyes.

aie....sucks! so u need to trust on your guts, eh...we have certain "feelings" that can sense danger for a reason....so if you do...tell your collegue it's hiking and bbqing day again!
it makes me wonder....all these oil from earth....it must be there for a good reason...not just for our asses....i would think it's some kind of earth's lubricant or something?
i vote we go to the cool flintstone days and improve public solar and wind transportation....
heck! didn't they say we would be teleporting by this century? me, i'd like a magic carpet!

Good idea :-) I'm most likely going offshore again the 16th of october. If I get a bad feeling I'll see if I can organice a hiking trip instead.
Interesting tought; what if it IS the earths lube between the shell and the core(which is naturally in a stand still), and by draining it the earth will eventually stop spinning around it self. Imagine the horror! Sunshine 24/7 in Europe and Africa, twilight in Asia and pitch dark in the Americas.
We should stop before it's too late... :-|

wow!...i would imagine if it stopped, would it be gradual or immediate? if it was immediate, alot of us would be flung into space!...isn't one of the reason there is gravity, is cuz of the spins? (i'm foggy in the physics area.) could you imagine? some folks would become like a satellite to folks that are bigger than them...hehehe!
didn't the earth moved off the axis by a milimeter or centimeter after that huge tsunami in Indonnesia.-ragge, it has started already.... ;70 (that's my first facial expressions...hahahaha!)
not to be a doom gloom, but i'm gonna think about building me a catamarang-sailboat...(almost like the one in "water world")- i've been fantasizing about it for years...hahahahah!
since you are a viking and a master in engineer-science and eatting-bbq-up-cliff-tops...i'd imagine you've got something planned and up your sleeve, eh?

Hmmm...
Sterke ord her Ragge!
Trodde HMS-veldet te Statoil/Aker osv var så sterkt at sikkerheten uansett gikk foran! Blir vel til slutt et spørsmål om fortjeneste uansett, eller?
E nok best at du tar med deg badering neste gang du ska offshore i tilfelle noe skulle skje! :-)

Hey Kuntry! Hmm.. I'm not sure, but think your right, although I think it would stop slowly :-)
Hmm.. I'm not sure about the moving off the axis either, didn't feel anything, but who would feel a mm eyh?
Congrats on your first facial expression!! Haha, is that a nose? But I get what you mean ;-)
A catamarang! Cool! I want one too! Be sure to go a shore in Stavanger when you sail to Europe.
You mean something boat-thing up my sleave?
Cartoons? Yeah. Donald Duck gives me the wierdest ideas c¨,)
Hey Otter!
Yeah, safety is the top priority of the norwegian oil companies and contractors, but it is mostly directed on behaviour and culture. And now it is a new situation that hasn't caught focus, and therefor there is situation arising beond control...
Hehe, at that point I think there was a two meter wide road, but at a couple of places the road was one meter wide, with no fence... But safe as long as you're not blind or toatlly drunk.

Å bli veldig god i golf krever en unik kombinasjon av mental balanse og god fysikk. I tillegg så er det en sport som alle kan drive med og trives i, uten å ha som mål å bli veldig god. Det er også en meget sosial og inkluderende sport på grunn av handicapsystemet, som gjør at alle kan konkurrere mot hvem som helst, og allikevel ha sjangs til å vinne. Når eg spille mot Tiger Woods hende det at eg slår han, viss han har ein dårlig dag og eg ein god dag. Det bør også nevnes at golf e unik på den måten at hver bane er forskjellig. Å spille ein ny bane er utrolig kjekt og spennende, og krever helt nye strategier/spilleplaner. Det gir også et nytt aspekt til for eksempel ferieturer, ettersom det første en gjør når en komme til et nytt sted er å sjekke om det er noen golfbaner i nærheten. Golf er også veldig god trim, selv om onde tunger vil hevde at det er en sport for late mennesker. En attenhulls runde medfører en gangdistanse på minst 10 km. Dette er kilometer som eg aldri hadde gått dersom eg ikkje hadde spilt golf.
Men min beste begrunnelse for å sei at golf e den perfekte sport e at eg ønske at DU og alle andre eg kjenner skal begynne med det, sånn at me kan ha det gøy sammen på golfbanen. :)

Enkelte onde tunger (kfr. diverse sitater fra Pondus) vil vel sidestilt golf med blant annet volleyball. Med andre ord, sport uten offside = homsesport.
:-)
Det der med kondisjon Thomas tror eg neppe du komme langt med. Ser ikkje ut te at du e nevneverdig bedre trent nå enn for 2-3 år (?)siden når du heiv deg på golfbølgå. Nuvel. Koffer ha det kjekt på golfbanen når me kan ha det kjekt på fotballbanen seie nå eg. Begrepet søndagsgolf vil nok uansett neppe slå te når det konkurere med søndagsfotball!
Ahhhh.... Godt å få det ut!

Den e knallbra :-)
Hmm.. tror golf e som bordtennis(definert som homosport i følge pondus), det holde ikkje bare å spilla golf for å bli god; ein må trena kondisjon og styrke utenom, for så å konvertera detta te teknikken i golfen.
Og thomas drive jo både med squash, fotaball og innebandy. Det som skal til for å opp nivået på golfspillet.
