Happy New year to you all on here again offshore in a stormy miserable North sea. 

Hope you all had a good night last night

I'm on the boat from Belfast to Scotland on my way you the big city of Aberdeen

Good to see you are moving to gods country.

You will love the area Rob. I move to the area 20 years ago and have never looked back.

Any advice on places  to go  and things to see feel free to ask 

Less time offshore then rob? Sounds like a good move and promotion to with any luck

About the same amount of time Sean but with office time as well. Yeah working for 2 departments really is a good chance to follow a project through

Yesterday after months of hopes built up then knocked down I am moving jobs.

I am going to do a major project for the company I work for really looking forward to it.

Well have been at work  for the past 2 weeks through pretty much constant storms, massive helicopter backlog over 102 flights at one point hopefully get off of here this week.

i'm sure i will

Thanks Bill, not a very happy birthday so far stuck offshore at present  

Well another normal day for us offshore workers. Been at work since 6 most people have got day off not the operations department normal day for us today.

Special meal at lunchtime I am sure it will be on a par with Christmas day then 2 raffles and a quiz hopefully add to my winnings for the trip.

Ah well nearly home time.

All the best for 2014 to everyone on here hope this year is better than the last.

I am sure quite a few of you will be nursing hangovers today.

Enjoying the offshore banter today

well sat at work 

arrived here on the 22nd for christmas and new year.

working from 11 at night to 11am due to a shortage of people.

secret santa today

have got about 2 inches in aberdeenshire.

Aberdeen airport and the shetland airports are snow closed!!

Delays to flights already 

When I put the AT's on the pick up guy in GT tyres was saying he has done 50,000 miles in his pick up and only half worn!!

When I had the BMW was lucky if I got 20,000 out of them and they were 210 each!!

Wife's tyres were nitrogen filled so will see if we get same wear this time. 

Well tyres for me to Bill.

A set of BF Goodrich AT tyres for the L200 to replace a set of Bridgestone duelers which had done 27,000 miles.

The wife's clio required tyres as well so 2 BF Goodrich winter tyres on the front and 2 normal BF Goodrich on the back the tyres that came off had done 30,000 miles £1000 total for all the tyres 

Well today is really busy last day at work so loads to do early start at 05:30 and still here working probably another hour to go finishing off my handover and work preparation. Home tomorrow cannot wait 2 weeks of peace and quiet 

Well not been on here for a while so quite a bit has happened including a holiday to Dubai and holiday to Turkey and 4 day break to Devon to visit family. On getting back up the road had a pressure testing course and an interview for a promotion. Well now back at work for the next 2 weeks so already counting down to home time.

This cold weather is being blamed on the jet stream sitting too high this year.

Whilst everyone is freezing the north sea has been lovely for the past 2 weeks with mainly lovely sunshine and dry also no high winds.

It has been cold but when out of the breeze is glorious.

Here is Elvis playing with his brother before we came home. He is the one in the red collar

Yes has a set of blue suede shoes and he ain't nothing like a hound dog....

Not seen him yet as I have been away since he arrived he is picking things up well with the training.

This is our new doberman puppy.

He is called Elvis and is 11 weeks old.

This little Boy called Elvis

No snow here in the North Sea but 80 MPH winds and 18 m waves

Rocked to sleep last night and ..... no flights yesterday or today and looking at the forecast none tomorrow luckily doing a 3 weeker so doesn't bother me for another week

Hopefully will get off of here today Bill not holding out much hope after seeing what is coming Aberdeen's way. 

Weather here up in the northern north sea is cold but dry only seen a few snow flurries in 2 weeks, but it has been bitterly cold 

Thanks Sean, really pleased with it, a really clean car and has been well looked after. 

I have not seen many in red maybe 2 or 3 and they were the raging bull model. 

Just ordered steel rims and mud terrains for it as well

Not sure I would attempt flood water like that either not like the individual in norfolk

Lossiemouth Bill my wife picks it up from Elgin tomorrow, Really pleased with it, she said it wasn't as high as she thought it would be but you are right she is a big machine cannot wait to get home on Monday to try it out.

Here is the new motor
