Do they not use electric wireline offshore any more? I can still remember to push forward for down and pull back for up . . .

nice work if you can get it...
The twiddling (thanks nick for the spelling) is only short lived. Its full on again, rigs always have work to go to these days. In the middle of an abandonment, no crossover, waiting on, a lot of money to be made in tools and supply of.

Getting back to the Shittyheart of it all, I found it interesting that the insertion of oi between the sh and the te produces Irish excrement
Is this because the dear folk of the emerald isle always exclaim OI when passing a motion?
I think all the horsemeat they eat will be bunging them up a bit and a stiff stool can, I suppose, bring on this utterance, as well as tears to the eyes.

I like that, much better than a plain old admiral of the white.

Harrumph. It's a bit of a relief to know I'm safe now.
Enjoy your Rose, I hope her father sends her round regularly.
