Just worked crimbo offshore. Now we can not get home due to the bl**dy weather. Anybody else stuck in the middle of a heaving North Sea? Just have to think of the overtime.

Choppers got here but the guys were telling me that cos of shell's sea height policy half the flight got bumped while the other half (Encana)flew.

Shell! Don't ya love em?

 

***Shell! Don't ya love em?*** only once a month

Stay safe out there boys - get yer chin straps on

 

Shell....Since they started not giving us contracts cos of some Frogs offering them their ar**s in return for work, I don't love them anymore.

(I am speaking figuratively...honest )

 

Currently offshore of Holland and not getting home till the 5th of Jan :-(

Been pounded by 85 knot winds and today was not much better.

Still..............double bubble for the festive period can't be all that bad

Russell (money-grabbing, hole digging b*****d!)

 

It is bloody cold out there tonight which is why I am hiding in my little steel box.
Bit miffed cos we don't get paid any extra for working Xmas

 

Those were the days. My last festive trip offshore was working Xmas and New Year 1999. Working at the bells due to the threat of the Y2K bug. What a hype that was.

Xmas Day lost Power Generation, working to get that back up most of the day and New Year was some of the worst weather ever offshore.

****, I miss those days....NOT!!!

Still a novelty going home after your shift and not sharing with some hairy ***'d bear. Oh' that would be me

...John

 

Woo Hoo, weather has dropped and the sky is about to be black with helicopters. Get the beer in the fridge were are coming home.
caz1562 I am normally out on the plant and just moved into the Control Room. Planned to be in here all of next years trips so should end up chatting at some point. no doubt you lot moaning that we can not keep our Condy export flowrate steady hee hee.

shaun

 

And we're all moaning about being on a rig....



Poor b*ggers!

 

Shaun,

Us, moan about your erratic export rate.....never LOL

I've been off the pipeline control room for a year now, too busy running the gas plant boards but I do take my spell every now & then. Sure to speak sometime I'm sure. Take care.

 

Talking of dodgy weather, I once spent 6 weeks in Taiwan in the typhoon season.....best trtip I ever did. Spent 5 days offshore and the rest of the time onshore . All we did was tour the country, ogle local women, get "erufong", go fishing,& surf the net at the mammasuns internet cafe Oh and did a lot of karaoke !

-----------------

Interestingly, I have access to the Brents & Shearwater real time met ocean data from home...........you offshore workers must have nipples like locking wheen nuts ! Me thinks that the smoko shack will have been harbouring many a frozen zero hood

------------------

The only thing i liked about going offshore was the banter and the sausage rolls....internet access really got on my bristols.

-------------------

Icy blast from the north expected on Tue/Wed - I'd get those long johns on the radiators now if I were you .......Swell will be knocked down by winds from the south shortly afterwards - phew

Cheers

Cal a.k.a Michael Fish

 

Just on shift for my last one Weather looks good for tomorrow offshore but what is going on onshore. I heard there is snow about and i am supposed to be heading up to Skye on tuesday.

 

SG,
Hope you get home bud. Offshore Denmark as per norm and here till the 7th Jan. Came out on the 17th Dec, so not having fun I can tell you! Boys will be back at school and the first thing I will do is the last thing I did before I left home.......take the bloody xmas tree down

Jools
