Skull and bones

The deadly warning

Are you going back to work for them ?

Might work for Esso instead. They have better OH&S policies in place.

Am in discussions with them to follow the final course i need to become a QHSE manager, its only a 1 year Uni course for me as my other diplomas make up the required points.

Who better to advise about Health and Safety than someone who has been in major accidents

No more helicopters for me, third crash may kill me

Shell is renouwned for its Safety. I dont work for Shell though, i only subcontract for them for outages on their DCS's offshore.

you've already had a 1st?

What happened in the other one ?

Yeah mate, was in a Ditch off Aberdeen in 96

Malfunction on the Heli and we had to put down in the sea just off the rocks. No major injuries and the Heli could be repaired

That would of been enough for me

Back in the day when i first started working offshore, It was terrible conditions still. Piper Alfa was still fairly recent and no safety measure had been fully put in place. Everytime i got on a Heli, i scanned around at my colleagues and tried to picture every face and would think, Which one of us wont be returning.

Me too. But 'Our Billy' is made of sterner stuff...

Its the adrenalin lads, you get addicted to it. The money is not bad either

You were a cheery fella weren't you

I am sure everyone did it Kenny . It was just that bad back in the day for deaths offshore.

That sounds like a crew member on a WW2 bomber... I didn't realise it was that bad.

Me neither

It was really that bad, people were blown off platforms, electricuted due to no safety measures and many more incidents. It didnt start to improve until the mid 90's.
Some places in Africa i will not go on a platform because they are that dangerous

I heard some stories here where a guy was blown to bits when a valve on a gas pipe failed. Barely a trace left of the poor fellow.

Yep, that sort of thing was common

So thats why you get the big bucks ?

Yeah the danger money is pretty good

Do you get good RDO's etc?

I used to get that on the railway when we had to do track side inspections

Will you ever go back to the rail job?

No they were awful when i was ill , so theres no way back bridges have been burnt

Or in your case... you've ripped up the sleepers behind you.

Yes you could put it like that .

Rosterd Days Off? No they dont, they work 2 weeks on 2 weeks off. I am only ever on them when there is an outage now.

Yeah. That's not a bad system for folks in remote areas.

Well fellas im off for me breakie

catch you later

see you later, KK.

You are always off to eat Kenny...

He'll turn into a fat baastard if he's not careful

I'm surprised they didn't just try and blame the whle thing on you Billy. He's a feicing sheep shaagger from some backass hole in Ireland, something could have happened......

A cork person must have posted because i dont see anything

Wipe yer woolly eyes ya blind Clare man. It's yer mate, Thom.

I refuse to acknowledge Cork people, they are figments of drunken peoples imaginations

Quite frankly I can't see the appeal either. Of imagination that is.

So what are Clare people then? Aside from the sheep shagging they must have two left feet, and have brittle wrists can't play any sport for their lives, it's like watching a blind man play tennis when you watch Clare play hurling. Football, the thoughts "kill me now" come to pass.

Those poor lilttle upstarts always looking to big brother Clare for inspiration

Upstarts, most successful county of all time. See in Cork, we havew this thing called hand-eye coordination. You tend to develop it after the inbreeding stops.

Keep going guys... lovin' it.

Helps to have that to be good at self pleasuring

You'd know all about that wouldn't you Billy

Nah, i shag sheep which is slightly different to your average Cork masturbater

I can assure you there's nothing average down there

Spoiler:

OK, OK... lets move on please? The reactions are getting too strong.

Ah we're only taking the Mick, LB.

Damn, just as it was getting interesting as well

I'm glad you both 'came' to your senses.
