My first thought was some kind of new mega atty that takes unlimited liquid and then I looked at it again and noticed it was a oil rig. Bloody hell stay safe and keep warm.

Sea-HUGE.

It is worth pointing out, I didn't take that pic. It was taken yesterday lunchtime, and it has since been worse.

I am on a similar rig though.

Definitely not changing jobs though.  I got a few more shinnies to pay for, and I really don't do very much when I'm out here, lol.

To be honest, I love it. We are disconnected just now (means we are no longer attached to any wells, so just floating about really), so it means we have nothing to do but sit here, and buy shiny things...

ALMOST fell asleep earlier with the rocking, but then BANG!!! Big heaving wave side strikes us as the whole place rattles for 20 seconds. Awesome. Better go for a smoke then.

So... it's a shopping platform?

[xs2man]

Lol. And bingo...

Some photo mate. Makes me miss being at sea.

Despite my earlier flippant comment, i know what you mean, lots of experiance here of heavy seas. Do you find its fun for a while then think ok, you've proved a point now calm down, thats how I feel after 24 hours of battering (good example was 48 hour arctic storm, handy bottle of gin on table, that slid end to end all night, could not be ars**d to get up and put it on floor, just sick of storm not seasick).

PS good thing for sea sickness, 3 bottles of scotch, never fails, on land or at sea lol. (If your not sick better man/woman than me lol)

Awesome photo but sorry . . . . .

I've seen your house and car collection and personally I'd be on that rig with you for the same benefits lol! The sea looks awesome too!


Ps I wondered about the pic, you'd need a hell of an arm for that kind of selfie

[xs2man]
