Its all about finding the middle ground.   Eggs offered to meet me for a pint if I was down his way. That really struck a cord with me.  Thats as long as he was not gonna jump me with is mates.  

 

But seriously, its stuck with me, its a really kind gesture.  As long as he does not get his mates to batter me,  

Get a grip you pair of tarts

Now thats what Im all about! 

 

We had a trial in Esberg a few years ago. 3 service companies show casing the cream of our crop. Put through high stress tests. The Company Man was Scottish. On the last night we all went out on the pish. Ended up in Dronning Louise. A popular Drinking Haunt.  Anyway, we drank so much he pissed himself on the way back to the hotel.  

 

Still never won the contract.

It really is. SE, PAYE, we're all screwed really. 

 

Im selling off junk left right and centre to keep my head above water. Its amazing what crap you accumulate, but its more amazing how much less it sells for than you bought it, even second hand ( I rarely buy new).  And amazing how fast it vanishes . Some might think being PAYE its ok for them, well its just as shit. For many PAYE its not massively different than being SE.  You become your own brand, you are only as good as your last job, which I fucked up both of, the very last put me in the official $1,000,000 club. Yes, my fuck up cost well in excess of a million dollars.  To then go off on the sick with surgery was terrible timing. Nearly 4 months later Im trying to get back in the game and Ive been given a job that means I'll be sucking a dummy the whole time. Pulling an Old Well and getting covered head to toe in Crude and other shit for 12-16 hours a day. Full PPE and if there is H2S then its 10x worse. LSA and we'll look like WW1 Divers.  

 

I do my own Tax return here and in Norway. Like others Im shite at both. Im in the grey zone between SE and PAYE but without the perks of either. 

 

But some have said I should keep my mouth shut, maybe I should. But fuck them.  Not my style.  

$1,000,000 is chicken feed on the overall cost of running on the oil rigs ( peanuts)

Me neither, so I guess we're both free to talk openly without recrimination?
