Free money? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Not for me mate, no furlough, no grants, no bounce back loans even, nothing. I'm just paying for other people's free money now. A few at the top, supposedly in charge at the time, took a hell of a lot of free money in a few short months.🤷‍♂️

 

 

Sorry I forgot you called it 100% on every occasion over the last few years, I remember well your wise words of protest at the folly we witnessed. 🤔

The height of those felling cuts is criminal if nothing else.

It's reminiscent of a Beaver's work to me.

No satisfaction at all  in being right about any of that Mark I can assure you. He most likely wasn’t thought we had some proper good bbq, music and drinks sessions with a rake of people present during lockdown. Funnily enough we all survived. I see he’s gotten a tidy little number to see him by eh Mark 🤔seems to be the way of things.

"Everything changes but it all stays the same" used to be the tune, now they've been blatantly shown to be even worse by mocking us all; I had to watch a webcast of my mate's Dad's funeral and couldn't be there to support her while those scuzzbuckets were just getting hammered and telling us what to do. Absolute shitehawks they are. **************** those people and **************** Starmer and his Blair lookalike party too. I hope you have a good weekend.

I’m with you on your  “Moonbat” understanding. I quite agree. I fully understand that with every knob-jocky protest that goes against the will of the common man the “powers that be” will use this against us. It’s infuriating in its simplicity.

 

I was down in Brazil helping deliver Norwegian “renewable” tech to the locals. Was asked to go down this week actually. 
 

You’d be surprised at how much of my job these days is in renewables or carbon capture. It’s money for old rope and I can tell you, it’s where the money is. God Damn it’s where the money is $$$$. 
 

So please understand that my POV is not solely from where my living comes from. Look into “Northen Lights” it’s the same tools we run in an oil producing well that gets run in a carbon capture well.  Im doing the same job regardless. 
 

Regarding  your last paragraph, I wholeheartedly agree. And it’s why I stated what I did in my reply. We’re losing our freedom

inch by inch and that lands purely at the feet of those selfish enough to sacrifice the greater good for their minority hobby
 

 

I looked into 'Northern Lights', I bet you're giggling away in your Tesla . What do you need to be qualified in in order to really cash it in on offshore work? I met an 22 year old Norwegian valve specialist when I was in Thailand with my lass in 2002 and he was drawing a fair sum for a 4/3 or similar rota.

The main thing you need to be to cash it in is be Norwegian, get a Norwegian Contract and work in Norway. 
 

There is a demand for certain roles that there is not enough Norwegians for so they look to Denmark and the U.K. (and further afield). In Norway you really need University Education or your apprenticeship in the off-shore industry to get a foot in the door. From the likes of the U.K. they’ll let that go if you have 10 or more years in your field. 
 

Most rotations are 2 on 4 off now. As I’m a Rig-Gypsy I’m 4 weeks available then 4 weeks off. Over the last ten years I’ve averaged 95 days a year.
