The new boy & old tricks at work

[teepeeat]

A good one on boats is get them to bail the moon pool (hole built into the boat for running tools, diving bells, pipelines etc)

Tell em the water levels getting up a bit. Best I've seen is two lads who kept it up for about 3 hours of solid effort without questioning the lack of change in water level :lol:

At least they got on and did what they were told I suppose

I can imagine the 16 year old logic!

 

'Crap, it's filling up just as fast as we can bail it out! Keep going as fast as you can and hope someone comes round soon so we can warn them!'

When we get a new person I'd like to start each day with us all holding hands for a prayer, followed by an aerobic stretching routine.

 

Problem is I'm rubbish at keeping a straight face.

I like the plasters test!

I do however remember (& drink was an distinct contributory infulence) being suckered into "spoon boxing" when in the TA Mess.

The "gas microwave" for the Cook-tent was also a winner.

Can't beat putting the chain on the wrong way around. Or even better ask for a new chain which you've pre turned inside out so it can't go on the saw and watch the looks of confusion and frustration.

 

Climbing ones tie there rope off at the bottom so they can't come down.
