Thanks folks, I was just about to stick an announement in . As you may imagine things have been a bit hetic since the rather early arrival, 9 days early Quite an interesting 24 hours it was too say the least, so heres a quick run of events for you. Sitting on the rig, last shift looking forward to 3 weeks off, next thing get a shout on the radio saying that I've got an outside call so the guy in the control room patches it through, this is at 5:50pm. Kirsty - It's me. Me - Yeah whats up? Kirsty - I'm having contactions. Me - WHAT since when? Kirsty - Well they started this morning and now their only 7 mins apart, I think you should come home. Me - 7 minutes why didn't you phone earlier? I don't know of theres any flights coming in this late. Kirsty - I thought they would go away. Me - I'll see what I can do. Thankfully there was a flight coming in at 5:45pm and the boss managed to get me on it, only downside, via Scatsa aaarrrggghhh. Finally get into Aberdeen at around 8:00pm, I've got the car at the Scooby but its thankfully only the Clio ( hate to think what speeds I would have been doing of it was the Scoob ) so managed to get the hospital for 11:00pm. At 05:50 baby Cameron appeared, needless to say both Kirsty and myself were well knackered by this time but absolutley chuffed to bits, so far he has been great even allowing us something resembling sleep at night. He's only 8 days old now but crickey he has totally took over the house, everywhere I look theres baby grows, sheets and teddy bears. I'll give everybody a shout so we can get something arranged for a get together. Thanks John.

Prices starting to get updated for too many wallet emptying things on that site Wonder how much I'll get for a kidney on the black market John.

<< << we've got 11 for dinner . >> although Xmas dinner in the control room for 14 folk. >> Been there, just glad I aint offshore, we'll be totally manned up, circa 180 pob thats one big Turkey John.

Very nice to see a company giving good comprehesive advice in their reply. Oh and welcome to the board Gerry. John.

Jamie, site is looking good, probably too good I touch goats John.

Keith, yup we've said that we'll just run things as normal so we've got 11 for dinner John, don't worry I'll let you know ASAP for a bevvy John.

Congrats mate ahh the joys of father hood, just what I've got to look forward to. Need to get something arranged for a double heid-wetting session John.

Not long now for me ( well Kirsty ) big fella, Jnr is due Xmas day so should be interesting to see what happens coz we're meant to have 11 for dinner John.

<< Long story mate - almost led to the Scoobynet revolt singlehandedly!!! Well, that and several pub sessions commonly referred to as "West Lothian Meet" Brian >> Just remember that meet and no more, eyes travelling in different directions when I left John.

Thanks Brian, I touch goats John.

Any word on the new arrival yet or have I missed an announcement. John.

Welcome back, watch the post count rapidy increase John.

Might be worth remembering guys if this goes ahead I think there is a new law in place in most of Europe where the the car must carry a HI-VIS jacket incase you have to change a flat or such like. John.

<< Cheers, for the number Spooks m8, wasn't sure if there was a certain number I should use or not. Holiday was sweet, was in Samui for 8 days..... making use of B's free flights!! Lesson learnt...... if at all possible AVOID Bangkok Airport... absolute chaos!! << Thomo...see if you can use my run....as i never ran mine at the re-run, or get a refund. >> Hey Johnny, how you doin m8? Quality idea with the re-run....... would anyone have a problem with that, and d'you think dastek would be OK with it?? Out for now. Thomo. >> You think Bangkok airport is bad try Phuket or Havana in Cuba, total chaos everybody goes through the same door including the pilots, stewardess drinking rum and coke and smoking at the back As for the DV leave it off for me matey, I know they sound kinda nice but they can cause chaos with your fuelling. John.

Hey big guy, Kirsty is due on xmas day and doing fine, I go offshore on the 2nd of Dec and come back on the 16th, damn shame that it 3 weeks off over xmas and new year but will probably have to be sober for most of it. Been warned that I may have to stay sober at our gathering let me know a date. John p.s. Kirsty was saying that there is a lot of events planned in the Bleeb so better check the dates.

If there was a muppets section this'd be in it very soon. Nice one Jamie. John

Let me know when, might be home might be offshore. John.

<< << Yeah - thanks for the warning. I will be driving like a granny from now on >> Eh' did I miss something...FROM NOW ON!!! >> John.

Add another set of STi ones up for grabs if anybodies interested. John

Brian, I've known the new sales guy for quite a few years and I know the circumstances of the position don't know whats going to happen in the workshop department though. John.

Double sided number plate tape, use a decent amount of it and it'll be well stuck remember to clean the back of the new plate and the mount with some white spirit on a rag first though to get rid of any wax/oil/dirt. John.

Might be worth tring AWD in Perth. John.
