Noble must be crazy to invest this amount of money and risk the wrath of KFC's legal eagles when we all know there is no oil in the “Malvinas”....unless of course they know something we don't...

@1 Argentina has been threatening to take legal action against British and Falkland oil companies since 5th February 2010. It must be a slow, s l o w, s l o w process.

If this dock has a lifespan of 10 years but they only plan to use it for 3 years would it not make sense to tow it to Mare Harbour and get some extra use out of it? Perhaps the Royal Navy could use it for the new Queen Elizabeth carriers to put into...you know just in case they need to be in the neighborhood.......

@4 Did you notice the dimensions of the dock? The QE class will have a length of 920 feet.

You say...:
“This will ruin Think's day! he he he!”

I say....:
On the contrary dahling.............., on the contrary.
The above is exactly what I have been advising them Islanders to do since the beginning of that turnipy Puerto William debate......
A minor extension to the east of FIPASS is the right Kelper thing to do under the present circumstances......

I know it.............. They know it.

Aren't you even a little disappointed that they clearly don't give a toss about your presidents warnings. Does this not give you the clearest indication that once you take one foot off a Latam beach, no one actually cares what she says, does or thinks :-)
