My post count had better be increasing. None of this not counting because they are in the same thread nonsense. That would be crap.
I take it you are offshore currently since you seem to have plenty time to post keech on here?

I miss all that thumb twiddling for money. A pal in Aberdeen tells me there are 0.4 applicants for every job and that I could get ofshore again nae bother if I whacked a well-crafted CV into the right place (and maybe lied a wee bit about my age).
Youngest son is in Siberia at the moment - been there three weeks already on £190 a day, not bad for a gauge hand . . . and he gets a bigger basic than I ever did as well.

Age isn't an issue- your particular skill is...
I'm more in demand now than I ever was when I was the preferred side of 50...it's a golden time on the offshore industry.
Again...

Do they not use electric wireline offshore any more? I can still remember to push forward for down and pull back for up . . .

Getting back to the Shittyheart of it all, I found it interesting that the insertion of oi between the sh and the te produces Irish excrement
Is this because the dear folk of the emerald isle always exclaim OI when passing a motion?
I think all the horsemeat they eat will be bunging them up a bit and a stiff stool can, I suppose, bring on this utterance, as well as tears to the eyes.

The twiddling (thanks nick for the spelling) is only short lived. Its full on again, rigs always have work to go to these days. In the middle of an abandonment, no crossover, waiting on, a lot of money to be made in tools and supply of.

I like that, much better than a plain old admiral of the white.
Harrumph. It's a bit of a relief to know I'm safe now.
Enjoy your Rose, I hope her father sends her round regularly.
