http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11011384 That ****ers going to take my chopper down next week isn't it. Of all the ways to die; in helicopter crash caused by a vulture named Gandalf.....
I've got **** all to do today though. Was meant to be going down one of the legs to test a motor but hiding away from that as it's a total **** of a job. Got to wear a re-breather and carry a gas monitor with you then climb down into a dank, horrible metal box with the threat of getting poisoned off H2S or getting cut to shreads off some high pressure pipework. **** that.
Wish I could but I've got to down as I'm the Person in Charge on the permit. Total piss take, you used to get a bonus every time you went down a leg in ye olde offshore days but not anymore. Dirty bastards
