You have to go into the setup and switch on the power to the mouse that is connected to the tv. cant mind offhand exactly how the hell I managed it. but it was a bit of trial and error, except there are 2 areal jacks at the back of the box and you need to be connected to the one that has a 9 volt output

If Scotland became independant, what would Shetland do?
Dratsy replied to kung foo panda's topic in Shetland News
This truly must be, one the most ridiculous, prickless posts since 1469. Oh I don't know some of yours would surely Take That prize -

having wondered WTF you are on about in many many of your posts I would sugest a retarded penguin could explain it better than you could -

£12.2 million spent so far and a hell of a lot more yet to be spent on lawyers etc before the final bill is realised. fixed price is only fixed if no changes are made to the original contract and changes have been a plenty. gibbons is a buffoon and i suspect he will depart these shores pretty sharpish once the carry on really gets going

Emergency roof repairs - recommendations?

if it shut down then there is no current to short circuit, seems quite logical to me and you. but we should bow down to peats superior intellect what with his having put traffic cones in substations and all that.
-
in your case I can believe it, and you are back to drilling a dry hole
-
I did not say atmospherically sealed I said enclosed, and the engine bay of a sports car is enclosed. a short circuit is not the most probable cause of a fire in a wind turbine during high wind conditions but a failure of the braking system is. high winds will feed the fire with oxygen and disperse any co2 used as a extinguisher. the fire did not last long because the fuel was burnt very quickly due to the wind feeding the fire, the turbine was completely destroyed. google is great for getting irrelevant info pity it cant give you the wit to understand it exactly that irrelevent

single mums on benefits, maybe if they had been watching tv instead of opening their legs without using contraception they could afford the licence. Why do you think we should feel sorry for someone who has put themselves in the position they are in. and why pray do you think we should be made to pay for their mistakes

the permien extinction put a turdload of carbon into the ground right around the world that is now being realised as shale gas deposits, so we are not going to run out anytime soon. And now the european governments have cottoned on to just how much is underneath their feet they are showing little appetite for kyoto or any of the other sprootle they tried to feed us before the penny dropped. They are still trying to tax us to the hilt though as someone has to pay for their chauffeur driven limos and first class flights
-
you should pay it because it is your civic duty peat you still watch the programs the bbc make, and of course the money goes on all those lurverly educational projects that you think the rest of us should pay increased taxes for. It seems you are just blowing hot air out your ass when you say we all have a duty to pay for these things. typical hypocrite
-
So what is wrong with that? There are systems that can put out fires, isolate and lock off without anyone there, and folk seem to think that the existing turbines in Shetland are too small to have a comparison made. those systems generally deal with fuel fed fires where they can cut the supply of fuel or then they are used in an enclosed space where they can cut the supply of oxygen neither of these scenarios apply to a wind turbine that has caught fire due to friction. you display a complete and utter lack of understanding for the things you write peat.
-
do you have any historical data on fuel duty, like I said I was under the impression that the duty on diesel was increased a few years back. also like I said I may be wrong. One thing I am certain about is that fuel duty has increased year on year, also the tax on the oil industry has increased year on year so it is the politicians so loved by peat that have been pushing the prices up.
-
not quite, if there is sufficient shows of hydrocarbons the well will be tested, if the well test proves to have a viable flow rate then further appraisal wells will be drilled and tested, after the results from all these wells are collated and if considered viable a plan will be formulated and a method of production will be decided on it may be subsea tie backs to an existing platform if offshore or a completely new platform and associated infrastructure will be put in place, quite often the original wells are utilised. Only after enough oil has been produced and sold to cover these costs will any profit be made. Depending on lots of different factors these costs can range from tens of millions for an onshore location to hundreds of millions for an offshore location. all so we can make plastic cones for peat to place at regulation distances apart
-
I may be wrong (it happens) but I think the duty on diesel was increased
-
I doubt that considering the shear volume of utter drivel that is produced
-
so are you saying you don't pay for a licence, not very public spirited of you considering what you posted above
-
the one at voe which was bigger than burradale didn't last very long.

I cant get a terrestrial signal where I live yet still have to pay a licence along with Sky subscription.

1st time in 10 years that winds like this have affected the uk mainland, I have gone through 3 anemometers this year alone in Shetland due to wind speeds like this. Come on guys, lets have a bit of perspective here. And lets not forget that only a fraction of the 3000+ turbines are anywhere near where the winds were at their worst. also according to AT global warming (or is it climate change now) will mean even more extreme weather events like this
-
In plain language please peat. Exploration is just that peat exploration. There are no guarantee that they will find oil. Drilling a dry hole is not that uncommon (something I am sure you know all about). The difference between you and me peat is when I throw out an insult I don't try to dress it up as something else.
-
wrong peat exploration (and development) is where the costs are incurred production is where the profits are generated. I wonder if you are as thick as your writing makes you seem or if your writing is just so confused that even you haven't a clue what the f*** your on about.
