Al Gore should be proud.  She committed a very substantial carbon offset by shutting down that oil rig.  C'mon, let's all hold hands and sing!

Hello chums! I haven't been on Amiga.org since September, has the planet been taken over by chimps yet?

Heard about that oilrig thing, the first Ceefax article said a woman threatened to blow up the rig and was sedated... it went quiet after that. I initially thought blobrana might have hijacked the platform.

Back to hypersleep... ZZzzzZZZ
