Out of interest, where are you guys working?

I enjoyed my two weeks of freezing, but calm and dry, in Bergen. West coast Norway is the wettest part of Europe so take it whilst it's going!
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)

Small world, just been on a medium term project for NOV - not sure what their international staff are like but in my case it definitely stands for Norwegians On Vacation.

Yeh I know bud.
I've been there a long time and know that Norwegians on the lower side of average often get good jobs due to the small population  :happy2:

My work has a small plant here (dominion gas) I'm over to train new staff.

I spent 18 months here from summer 2009 and know all too well what the noggies are like for work.

Most people come to work for us to gain oil industry experience then get a job offshore but back in the UK my experience means nothing for trying to get a job offshore.

No snow or ice in my neck of the woods down in southwest and so as she hadn't been taken out of her batcave (garage with no electricity) since the snows started I drove her down to the local beach.



Car felt very responsive indeed in the cold air.

its a funny old world.. you' could be the best qualified person in the world but if you've never been on a rig, no one tends to look at you.. but if you can hit heavy sh*t with a hammer and have stroked the rig dog at some point they'll throw jobs at you...
