Nobel Prizes

When Donny T realises he is not getting a Peace Prize and that Kid from Sweden is being considered he will lose his wig and shit like this will start before he starts World War 3 and 4 ....An explosion has caused a fire on an Iranian tanker near the coast of Saudi Arabia, Iranian media say.

The vessel, from Iran's national oil company (NOIC), was 60 miles (97km) from the Saudi port city of Jeddah when the incident took place, reports said.

The ship's two main storage tanks were said to be damaged, causing an oil spill into the Red Sea, but no-one was injured.

NOIC claimed the vessel was hit by missiles, but did not provide evidence.

Iran's national tanker company (NITC) said the fire had been put out and the oil spillage reduced to a minimum, according to the news site Iran Front Page.

Iranian state TV identified the ship as the oil tanker Sinopa. The maritime vessel tracking firm Tanker Trackers said the tanker was regularly used to ferry oil to the Syrian government, despite international sanctions.

Iranian ship gets hit but Iran cannot export oil so how does that impact the oil supply ?

What currency is in place to sell oil? The Ayatollah of Rock n Rollah did his best to wipe Kissinger out.

Some Ethiopian politician got the Peace prize for stopping a war.  Fukking idiot - doesn't he know politicians start wars...

From the recesses of my memory, I believe it's quite common for tankers full of oil just to be kept sitting there.  They can't stop pumping the oil out of the ground and, if the price isn't right (or they're banned from selling it), they stick it in 'storage' on board these tankers. 

OPEC tries to control the price of oil by increasing/decreasing production.  Bit harder now that America has fracking & is prepared to sacrifice Alaska and the Arctic circle for more oil.

China buys oil from Iran.
