    After reading this, the question came to my mind. So what would be the next challenging problem to be resolved?

        So you think that we need some sort of Brave New World style method of producing children in labs before being decanted, then compulsory homosexuality for the adult population?

          I think it's to do with information overload. People these days grave information all the time, I think I'm easily one of those people. You'll notice how people are constantly checking their phone for updates (social media, news ) or information, while driving, working, walking or talking people want that extra source of info. I've recently read a lot about this, that people need time to think, to digest all of the informaiton, so I try setting a bit of quite time each day, no devices, no people just sit and think for 30 min.

            A thought occurred to me Friday night as I lie tired on my settee, I would have quite liked to be in bed at that point, but couldn't be arsed walking up the stairs. The thought was "Oi! Science! Where the elephant is my teleporter you lab-coated pricks!".

                  Problem 1: How to deal with all the sand one of our wells produces. Problem 2: getting through the next 8 days without any major hiccups before I go home... Think will skip 1 and just concentrate on 2. :-D

                  Build a new rig next door, with a raised edge. Fill it with the sand, and allow to dry. Voila - a combination creche and sand pit, making your company appear more family friendly! :-D

                    The sand gets dumped over board, so maybe after a while we will end up surrounded by an island. Maybe order up the deck chairs and sun loungers now for next summer.

                                      Good point. I'm not sure I can remember what I did whilst sat in the toilet at work before I had a phone with some sort of games on it. Shelf of books at home, obviously, but when not a home. Hmm.

                                        you mean this[^]? or perhaps this[^]?

                                        I'm brazilian and english (well, human languages in general) aren't my best skill, so, sorry by my english.

                                          Problem 1: How to deal with all the sand one of our wells produces. Problem 2: getting through the next 8 days without any major hiccups before I go home... Think will skip 1 and just concentrate on 2. :-D

                                          Heat it with the gas/oil the well also produces et voilà! You're in the glass business.
