  1. The deckhands / roustabouts (who basically carry heavy shit around all day and do stuff like painting and scaffolding) get paid a fuck of a lot more than they would for doing unskilled work onshore.

    Not a fortune, but more than a lot of people get for doing graduate or skilled jobs onshore. It's hard work like, 2 weeks on the rig, 12 hours a day with no days off.

    still not massive wages however you look at it. trainee cementers start on about 15k.

    horrible stuff. home today hopefully, still not great visibility though.

    My wifes ex was on the flight too. she is a bit shaken up by it. rip.

  2. Theres a list out here doing the rounds but it's not been made public yet.

    BP have grounded all Bond flights and are using Scotia for flights today. The penny pinching that's been going on in the industry lately i.e major operators asking all contractors to go back to 2004/'2005 rates - depending on who you believe, just isn't good for safety. Theres pressure from above to do the same job for less money due to the price of a barrel. We weren't given massive bonuses when the oil price rocketed but when it dips - cuts ahoy!

  3. It just seems to be the character of this city, or maybe just human nature, to have a good moan.

    The weather is shite, the food is shite, the traffic is shite, the music scene is shite, my jobs is shite, football team is shite, the nightlife is shite. How many times have you heard any of those expressions lately? How many of them are actually true?

    Im rarely on here nowadays but just thought Id add my 2p.

    Ta.

    that post was shite

    :)

    p.s - i loved it really

  4. i've always wanted to go fishing, but never known anyone else that does it.

    a mate offshore has told me he'll pick me up the next time he goes to loch insch. he says its ace mcgee :)

  5. think ours will be a west of scotland jaunt. log cabin somewhere most probably. did the same in aviemore last year and had a great time - quite expensive but really nice scenery and very relaxing. kids loved the wildlife too. never really done the west coast before so think it's time.

    got to save for florida next year! woo hoo
