This is awesome!!! We found oil!! Er....how do we get to it?

Brazil stunned the oil world when it announced the discovery of a vast oil field 200 miles south of Rio de Janeiro last November, turning the country’s deep blue waters into the world’s most exciting oil frontier. Energy experts said the field could turn out to be just a small part of the largest oil discovery in 30 years.

But seven months later, the problem is still how to retrieve it. Petrobras has only three rigs capable of drilling in waters that exceed 6,500 feet, like the sites of the new fields.

Fuel Costs Just Part of Airlines’ List of Woes

Even before the recent flight cancellations, airlines and passengers were facing a new wave of travel misery.

Record-high fuel prices and the industry’s fragile finances have led to a new round of bankruptcies among smaller carriers in recent weeks, including ATA Airlines, Skybus and Aloha Airgroup.
Bigger airlines are shrinking their fleets to cut fuel costs, even as demand for travel remains strong — meaning flights are growing more crowded and unpleasant.

A R456 Blapse

So I went down to Bloem this weekend. I went down with friends so thought I would save on the R600 odd the trip costs (including toll fares there and back) etc.

I got home quite late last night and it was remiss of me to forget my cars in the midnight gloom of a car. Yes, I forgot about car keys whilst unpacking bicycle, pump, kit bags, bedding and all the new OFM goodies. As it turned out I'd forgotten my car keys.

No problem, for that oversight all you need is have Dawnwing Courier them back to you, for a small fee. R456.
