What size boat is that bill

We are still several weeks off it here most will start cutting in June. Very few will take any in May. Suprised you have enough grass to cut up there Murray

Well got a taxi at 4:30 this morning and that is me back to work on the oil rigs for another 2 weeks. Nightshift this time.

Not sure if this helps mart but this is a link to the NAAC pricing guide for 2008/2009 May also be worth speaking to a few contractors as well. Can give you the names of a couple in the North east/ Aberdeen area who would give you prices. http://www.naac.co.uk/Docs/FINAL_CONTRACTOR_PRICES_2008-9.pdf

Inland Revenue

Busy cleaning the house and doing other chores left on my list this morning when my wife went to work

Yeah was pretty pleased with it as Bill on here has had yet another pay freeze as have most other companies so makes a change for me to do ok. As for the inland revenue better pay them now rather than let them come and get it.

Well in a time when most companies in the oil and gas industry are getting pay freezes and no bonus' we got both. 3% payrise 10% bonus 3% in shift allowances rather happy with what I got means I can pay my tax bill to the inland revenue >

Some interesting posts. So most don't wear them then. It was something I had never thought about but after reading the judges verdict from the crash it appears that the outcome may have been different if he had been wearing it. At the end of the day it is the risk you take by not wearing it the same as people who do not wear them in cars. How do you stand as an employer if a employee does not wear one can you be prosecuted under the Health and Safety at Work act or PUWER? especially if them employer knew they were not wearing them?

Thanks guys just wondered because I cannot remember ever seeing a farmer undo his seatbelt when getting out of a tractor.

Now it may seem like a stupid question but do tractors have seatbelts and if they do does anyone wear them? I cannot remember case and david browns having seatbelts when I was younger. the reason I asked is because of this article in our local paper about a fatal accident. http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/1653428?UserKey=

Busy night tonight have been non stop been cleaning filter pots, isolating equipment for maintenance and cleaning out vessel bunds all in a days work for a Oil technician

Freezing cold wind up here in the northern north sea, had a couple snow flurries through the night as well.

Back at work on night shift again home in 10 days time.

not alot today just waiting for sky to arrive as we are getting HD today. Apart from that housework and tonight going to watch our son at his Boys brigade inspection

Well have been busy of late so have not really been posting on the forum. I am back at work finally got out here last friday after being stuck at home on the tuesday and then 2 days in the shetland islands due to heavy snow and cold temperatures meaning there were no helicopter flights. Have been on days this time which makes a change have done a year of nightshifts. Into my last weekend now home on tuesday.

Thanks Jo. Yeah all is well now and youngest son is thriving again. Yeah has just been so hectic of late, hope to sort out a new smaller boat next summer.

I am sure most of the farms down there Jo get 2 crops out of the one field so new potatoes then another crop in the ground straight after they have been lifted. It is a long time since I was that far south have been across to st michaels mount but was many years ago when we lived in cornwall.

Well have been off the forum for a while now and looks like it will continue until I get back to work. Got home 2 weeks ago but have been busy with the family and then we had snow again so had that to clear. Got to go and see someone tomorrow about selling my boat :'( but need new family car that can cope with the snow and has more room for the kids.
