Guest guest Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Well it appears another oil company has taken another slithery step towards world domination and control of the proletariat. Some hack in 'Shell' with a huge ego and immense sense of self importance has decreed that Norwegian Crews on Norwegian Vessels in Norwegian Territorial waters are not allowed to eat whale meat when working for 'Shell' ! No mention of Norwegian employees of Shell or Shell contractors, working onshore, being forbidden to eat whale meat in their own homes...???? Elsewhere it has been decreed that vessels working for certain oil companies cannot serve non alcoholic beer because it may appear the crews are drinking beer...and discrimination against Western expats by prohibiting the eating of pork in certain regions... I am not in favour of killing whales but I am more not in favour of little nobodies having nothing better to do than dictate rules such as this to people such as me, it is always just power for powers' sake and I am becoming more and more sympathetic to those Eco warriors who volently demonstrate against globalisation and the Nigerians who are fighting against the abuses of oil companies there. IAs can be noticed this has annoyed me.....and who better to vent frustration at than the warm, sympathetic, understanding members of this global group who should be understanding of a therapeutic rant......right !

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 : Have you ever thought of good solid flipper slapping upside the nut for this dweeb? perhaps whilst eating a bacon sandwich? Now what is this with de-alcoholised beer, now that really gets my goat, the Hypocrisy of it all, just what IS the world coming too! From a warm, sympathetic, understanding member....

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 How about just gathering a few guys together, get a Norwegian name and then send a letter off to this idiot in Shell stating that you feel it is a direct infringement on your fundamental human/cultural rights to undertake traditional customs. Just blab on about how whale meat has been a staple for us Norgs for the lasts umpteen hundred years. Then say that this will be pursued in the human rights lawa court of the EU. Of course, much better grammar than what I have had here may get you further. Maybe they got some new safety officer who went ape (???) over seeing a pretend beer can in the bond. No offence to anyone out there, but I believe I am top of the food chain, so if I want to eat pork, I will. Just because it rolls around all day in it's sty does not worry me. Skin it. Some people eat eggs do they not? And ish people eat everything else :-) Same company that refuses to give the duty free discount on ciggarettes that is given to anyone else in the north sea. I don't smoke now, but did and found that you just go without a few other things rather than give up smoking.
