My latest piece for Energy Voice today asks why President #Trump likes the #UK so much. I also suggest we take advantage of that (and any belief he has that he has moved the dial on UK #oilandgas policy) for our benefit. 🇬🇧🇺🇸🛢️ energyvoice.com/insights/energ…

Actually Concorde as photographed by a Canberra I assume RAF_Luton? 😂😂😂😂😂 IYKYK 😂😂😂

Folks don’t give up hope. Please. Look where we Portadown FC were not that long ago. There’s always hope.

It has always amazed me why #oilandgas were hit by a windfall tax yet nothing has ever been done about the major supermarkets who, as Sharon says, have been making huge profits.

The lads played some nice football. But that Glenavon FC defence is shocking. Portadown FC

My latest Substack blog looks at #OffshoreEurope in #Aberdeen last month and bemoans the failure of politicians to lead. Instead they are focussed on soundbites and sloganeering. That doesn't help #energysecurity and it doesn't help #energytransition. open.substack.com/pub/aodhancons…

#Nuclear power is the elephant in the room when we talk about future #energy provision in the #UK 🇬🇧. But it will, to me, play a vital part in meeting our energy needs and we should have a discussion about that. Read more in my piece Energy Voice: energyvoice.com/insights/energ…

What is it about people from New York and the fact that they are such bad losers? First the Ryder Cup abuse and now this rubbish?

For the #energy industry party conference season was depressing. Instead of discussion on a way forward to address #energysecurity and #transition we got name-calling, soundbites and slogans - all with ideological zealotry thrown in. Energy Voice energyvoice.com/insights/energ…

I bet Linfield FC thought they were going to come to #ShamrockPark and walk away with the 3 points without any effort. Didn’t work out that way did it lads? Portadown FC 😃😃😃😃⚽️🥅

Oh my word. Oh my word. What a season this has been so far. Toronto Blue Jays toronto.citynews.ca/2025/10/20/tor…?

The recent #SNP party conference was a surprising breath of fresh air. Positive words on #oilandgas, and direct factual challenge of #ReformUK - not name-calling. If only the party wasn't still so opposed to #nuclear. Read my latest blog: open.substack.com/pub/aodhancons…

Oh come on NI Football League and BBC SPORT NI is this really the best you can do? Since when has this been the Linfield and Glentoran league? Shocking.

He’s not under pressure from me. Best man for the job without a doubt!! Portadown FC

Sorry Larry the Cat I know you think you’re the bees knees. But you were never a patch on Palmerston @FCDO 😂😂

When it comes to #energy it's not about #fossilfuels or #renewables. Instead it is 'and, not or' - we need both, at least in the medium term. Why is that so hard for some to understand? Read my latest Substack blog for more: open.substack.com/pub/aodhancons…
