[Funkstar]

No-one else commenting on the security incident offshore this morning?

Interesting stuff.

I'm quite abit away from the excitement, but it is the talk of the tea shacks.

^Heard about it not too long ago and wondered whether it was affecting you.

I went through some of the oilfields not too long ago on a ferry to/from Norway.

Mr Neilson said that there was a report of a woman on the platform who had sparked the incident, but he could not go into details at this stage.

Do they not see many of them up there?

Do they not see many of them up there?

ROFL....

Apparently it's a hoax - that's to say the security threat is thought to be a hoax - I assume the woman was real and not some oil worker in drag.

Do they not see many of them up there?

No, not many. And a lot of the ones you do see are perhaps debatable

I heard this at lunchtime on the radio going to familys house, and it did cross my mind as to wether you'd be involved at all.

Any more info? last I heard the woman was being taken to the main land for questioning?

[Funkstar]

Nah, we don't have any insider info or anything like that.

I have a friend that works for the coast guard in Aberdeen, keep menaing to email her to see what the story is from them.
