The protests are to oppose “Barclays’ investment in environmentally destructive activities such as fossil fuels and deforestation”, according to Just Stop Oil.

Shell’s announcement of its relocation to Silver Fin is a positive for the city, and signals their confidence in Aberdeen and the city centre to other businesses and investors.”What I had learnt from this novel was that everyone was, once young. It helps put life in perspective, to envision adults I know as children or my friends and I growing up. Also, I learnt much in the way of vehicle function from this novel; there is a chapter when James learns to drive, when a car engine and the processes that are undergone within one is explained thoroughly. The move marks a return for the company, which first established an office on Union Street when it set up shop in the city in 1965. We have already seen organisations like RBS, Aberdeen Journals, Harbour Energy, Tenaris, EY, KPMG, Prosafe and Chevron make the move with really positive results. Their message and ours today, as we seek to rebuild the footfall needed as the foundation of a vibrant city centre, is 'Wish you were here!'. Ms Laing added: “Grade A office accommodation will help both retain existing and attract new businesses – we need the people who work here to also spend time in our shops, bars, restaurants and public spaces.

A graphic novel adaptation of SilverFin written by Charlie Higson and illustrated by artist Kev Walker was released by Puffin Books in the UK on 2 October 2008 [2] and by Disney Hyperion in the U.S. on 18 May 2010.

In fact, even though Bond is a fictional character, I couldn't help feeling a sort of wistful sadness that such a nice young man was going to grow up into a Roger Moore, swaggering jerk of a guy. The facade element on the Silver Finn office development is mostly natural granite box sections, picture framing the curtain walling. Horizontal banding at floor slabs and decorative vertical fins divide up each elevation, with the bespoke box sections preforms cantilevering off floor slabs. With the vertical floor to floor spanning steel columns, weight was critical to ensure it complied with the original intended design of the specified lighter but less robust Stonelite panel system.In 2004, it was announced that Higson would pen a series of James Bond novels, aimed at younger readers and concentrating on the character's school-days at Eton. Higson was himself educated at Sevenoaks School where he was a contemporary of Jonathan Evans, current Director General of MI5. The first novel, SilverFin, was released on 3 March 2005 in the UK and on 27 April 2005 in the U.S. A second novel, Blood Fever, was released on 5 January 2006 in the UK and 1 June in the U.S. The third novel, Double or Die, was published on 4 January 2007 having had its title announced the day before. The next, Hurricane Gold, came out in hardcover in the UK in September 2007.[3:]In this year he also made a debut performance on the panel show QI. His final Young Bond novel, By Royal Command, was released in hardcover in the UK on the 3 September 2008.[4:] Relocating its operations to the heart of the city centre, where it all began in 1965, is a clear signal of its continuing commitment to being a significant contributor to the economy and reputation of the north-east in the long term. Higson: "The smell and noise and confusion of a hallway full of schoolboys can be quite awful at twenty past seven in the morning." The regeneration of Union Street Aberdeen is nearing completion. The Silverfin office development was brought together by Titan Investments with Cooper Cromar Architects, Sir Robert McAlpine (main contractor), Dane Architectural (curtain walling installer) and TI Dynamic Facades – Ultralite Architectural granite facade.

Simon Roddy, senior vice president, UK upstream for Shell UK Ltd said, “This is great news for our staff and for our future as a key player in the North Sea’s energy transition. We are working on exciting projects and technologies like carbon capture and storage and hydrogen production. This is the right move for our teams as we help shape that lower-carbon future, supporting the UK’s journey to net zero, while continuing to provide the energy the country relies on through the transition.” The move has been widely welcomed by city centre chiefs, who say it will increase footfall to the many retailers, cafes, restaurants and businesses in the area and act as a catalyst for further generation of the West End of Union Street. This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine, who had enjoyed it thoroughly. I couldn't reject to read it, as she lent me a copy herself. It was written by Charlie Higson, covering the 'book written by a male author' category of the wide reading program. I feel that this aspect was likely one that greatly affected the writing of the novel.
