Well after much deliberation and contemplation I have finally bought a pick up, a 10 plate L200 Animal in Red. I have only seen it in pictures as I'm away at work. My wife negotiated the deal and bought it really pleased has been a couple of years but finally got one cannot wait to get home and drive it

Tris they are great boots I have had the rigger boots and ankle boots and my current pair the jalarcher they are really comfortable boots. I suppose it is down to the fact that I get them at work that is how I heard of them. Boots are always a bone of contention out here as we spend so much time in them and companies now realize that PPE is important and better quality gear lasts longer.

Tris I have trialed a pair of Jallatte Jalarcher boots. They are without doubt the best boots I have had. WADING in water and chemical all day and crude oil seems to rot most boots and normally get about 6 months out of the these are a year old and still going strong. They have got vibram soles and zipped sides with a velcro cover and they are so comfortable, first time on felt like I had worn them for months. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007HOMORO/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B008PD9RMG&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0AWZS23MB2KWRQVZ9D4P

Yes the very best

So do I this is the second one I have been successful with the last one actually paid for all the christmas shopping for this year already so this is christmas beer money.

A letter from a bank telling me I was mis sold PPI and as a result were giving it back to me plus interest

Christmas presents, wrapping paper. A new nordic track cross trainer

No problems Toyboy will ask the crane op over the next couple of days. No information no permit think that is the way it works.

Try james Jack they would tell you what you need to get into it they may even offer a route in. Don't you fancy the world of offshore crane driving both enermec and Sparrows offer training and think they are always looking for people.

Yes getting all too common with the Super Pumas Bond have just purchased 16 S92 which are of the same family as the Black Hawk. Yes this one was blown down and was in good condition but not sure how long they will stay like that, we still have quite a few elm trees.

Well have had a busy time of late had a really enjoyable long weekend in Northern Ireland and have been doing some chainsaw work cutting up a fallen beech tree and a fallen Ash for my day for the next couple of years firewood and splitting the logs by hand. I am back at work now, busy here as well currently preparing for a dive vessel intervention campaign. Luckily no problem with our Helicopters as we do not fly in helicopters from Aberdeen and they are not the EC225's they are the S92.

Well we are taking a long weekend break to northern Ireland on the 12th October. I was wondering if some of the members from northern Ierland could give me some Ideas of things to see and do. We have booked to go to the Titanic centre and also going to Giants Causeway. Any Ideas greatly appreciated.

Garage floor paint and new cones and cables for our up and over garage door

Got a massive valve changeout happening so currently trying to plan stuff for it so another 15 to 17 hour day for me today......

Sorry Sean I was at home when It was made it can be hard but yes the money softens the blow

Yeah You all now how I live at work now. The OIM spoke on the monday one as well.

Being at work for my son's birthday today. The pitfalls of working away from home

I have got a set of flexothane ones and a set of portwest one all from work they are both good set and the portwest ones are 11 years old and still good nick. flexothane do quilt lined jackets as well for the winter

We always try and use local as well Alistair did us a good deal and came and measured the job himself. No drain on the drive all the falls have been corrected and it drains itself.... onto the road.

We did Bill but our drive is 110m2 so was very pricey for lock block almost double the price of tarring. We had Seivwright Brothers from Cornhill do it. A very good job done started at 7 finished by lunchtime. really clean job and looks great. Good bunch of lads as well.

A New tarred driveway.

Thanks Tris, No don't fly with Bond but not a nice thing to happen could have been so worse looking at the AAIB report.

Has been a long time since on here, Today at work 2 weeks into a 3 week trip. Have changed jobs now on the same platform but now a permit coordinator. Been issuing the days work permits, carried out site visits and been to the daily permit meeting.
