Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Nope! And cheeky! I only look after it when it's going these days! I only ever blew up one completion on the South in my field service days! Quote
srobrien Posted January 29, 2009 Author Posted January 29, 2009 Ha ha, Im looking for a new job anyway the South is a heap of junk. I keep getting my nice clean covies oily. R Quote
Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 No use! I used to work in the forties a lot. It was worse! Quote
martinmac Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I love the way you guys winge about rig work, try working on the supply boats Camp boss has run out of perfume and its force 10 Quote
Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Mart I sit in an office. I'm a happy bunny. Quote
martinmac Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I know Stew, its the guys offshore that get me. There was a guy on another forum ( ) that continually winged about the lack of sleep. I had to say that a week on an anckor handler would rock him to sleep Didnt go down that well Quote
Stew Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Lack of sleep? When I was at the top of my offshore game I used to go my 12 hour shift, 2 - 3 hours paperwork and get up for any problems. I never complained about it. Some of the hands get a rough deal but in the North Sea they CAN'T complain if you stop the job for sleep. You find most are silly though and stay up all day when they know they have a lot of work in the nigh. Then it's their own fault. Sleep management is key for service hands. I would have beaten my crew up and thrown them either through the rotary table or over the side if they'd complained after staying up! I've been shafted abroad before though. 72 hours straight standing over a well is NOT good! Quote
bronzee Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Zed looks great. Good mileage for the age. I'd probably put a good quality leather conditioner on those seats to protect them a bit. Quote
srobrien Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Cheers Lads, Just to make it clear I'm not complaining about being offshore, i love it infact. Im just fed up with this specific rig. Also big respect to martainmac, there is no way in hell you would catch me on a supply boat in the north sea.....i get seasick on semisubs R Quote
martinmac Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Getting too old for all that fun now bud, I stick to the Thames now, much more sensible Quote
ab350z Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Isn't Ninian South a CNR rig? I used to do IT for them a couple years back. Welcome to the gang, and another Aberdeen owner. When's the next Aberdeen meet Stew?! Quote

R Stew's favourite route is up to the Lecht, although with the snow forecast next week I think that might be best avoided!! I was up that way Monday and the gritters had been out, great drive. Quote
Cara Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 Hello and welcome, another Aberdonian Meet/drive sounds good to me Did the Lecht/Cabrach etc last time, good run. Quote
srobrien Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Hi Well thats the BMW gone now...for all the trouble it caused me I can't help but feel sad its gone! Is this normal or am I just a gigantic man-wuss. R Quote
Stew Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 We'll sort something out. I'm away to change rota. Maybe try for March, weather will be better etc. I'll still have on the winter boots though! Quote
