did you ever try catching a fish from the platform

No. Fishing is no longer permitted from the platforms. The guys use to many many many years ago (i.e. before I started offshore), but not any more. I believe divers were getting snagged in broken lines etc. so it was outlawed.

Well it could be worse...

They could send a crew boat out and get your crane operator to try to land you with a Billy Pugh[^].

I had the "joy" of that experience once, rough seas and a 5 hour crew boat ride. Billy Pugh from the crew boat to the rig, 2 hours of work on the rig, and back onto the crew boat. Hit the deck so hard I thought I broke my legs.

Afraid not, the cranes are out of limits before the choppers are!

Sea state would not permit billy peugh (or frog) transfer either.

I zoomed all the way in and still can't see you. Could you wave your hands or something?

do you think Google actually shows sat pics of mid sea/ocean or do they cheat with a generic "sea" pic? and would we actually notice

Look at my Article[^]

And then have a look at this[^].

My article has been blatantly copied into this Chinese(?) site and the date of the article appears a couple of weeks before my article to give an impression that the copying worked the other way round Smile | :)

. Now where are the hamsters?

Have you ever heard a Chinese person attempt the word Flattery?

It would give them a conniption fit.

I know someone will raise this question. The other site does not have the author name, the author is 'Chinese' (in Chinese) and 'English' (for the English version) Smile | :)

I know I know ----- Hence the Joke Icon. Chill!

Just let the hamsters know in the Site Bugs forum and let the legal team deal with it. There has been a few of these rogue sites copying the content over the last year or 2.

Raise this on the Site Sugs and Bugs forum. That site is actively monitored by the CP team and they can unleash the full force of the legal eagles.

Peter, never read the fine prints but if you submit an article to Code Project, it becomes property of Code Project!?

I content of Code Project is like content in Codeplex that there may be "editing" but if it's published it's as free as Open Source software?

I suppose it has to do with the "Redistribution Clause" under Code Project license agreement somewhere?
