Aye! Can get a bit fresh! Always doubles me up coz a pilot has to get out to sign off on the fuel samples and they ALWAYS look really cold. There's a nice warm bit in the exhaust though so it's a mix up between warmth and fumes.
Take yer pick!

 Found a pic of me cabin as well! Toilet and shower are just behind where the pic was taken from. As far as rigs go this is excellent accommodation. |

Now all you need is to pick up a T-Amp, a pair of these little AV21's I have, plug your iPhone into the amp and away you go... 
Of course there's probably a rule forbidding that sort of stuff onboard... |

Best thing I could do would be a good set of headphones mate. Gotta be a bit considerate ysee.
Got a wee fiio thing and will probably purchase soundmagic E10s when I can justify it. Add in my Kindle and that's me.

Oh,no,no,no.... Sackable offence mate. No drink for me for 6 months of the year.
We do get bottles of alchohol free becks at Christmas but what's the point? Like having a bath with yer socks on.
Now Tea on the other hand....

If you go inside, away from the nasty cold wind in the North Sea, after having drilled lots of oil or gas or whatever it is that you folks are doing, it's putting your health at risk if you don't have a wee dram of the water of life to protect yourselves against germs and flu. Who's got time to wait for a helicopter transfer? It's a life and death matter, surely? |

Just the way it goes I'm afraid. We had an incident in January that nearly killed 2 guys and one had to wait 3 days to get off. I had to help him onto the heli.
Protection against germs and flus is plenty good fresh air and,for me,some very hot naga chillies. Again a serious issue on board due to the cabins being air conditioned - just means if one guy gets anything we all get it.
Everyone also maintains high standards of personal hygiene and we have gel for our hands.
I do realise yer not being serious but tbh these bawbags couldn't care less if we live or die.

Do you all get the after-effects of the chilli as well? My GP has has never prescribed a bloody hot curry to protect against flu. I'll ask him if it's medically approved and peer reviewed  |

Nah,not really but I'm nails. I even sleep with the lights out.
Swear by them - they just seem to nuke any cold or flu that appears. Just eat a wee bit,raw and let them do their work.
Can't see any GP agreeing but there's nothing in it for them so they wouldn't.

some very hot naga chillies Nice. They should improve most dishes! I'm off to Houston in a couple of weeks' time and will stock up on some more hot sauces: the Texans sell some of the fiercest chilli sauces known to man  |

No,no. Don't add them - just nibble on a wee bit if illness rears it's ugly heid.
Try chilliesontheweb.com for good chillies - we've also got a good Mexican shop near us which stocks some crackers.

Haha,losenotaminute! I did that in Bremen but with Mexican food.
We all headed out for dinner to said Mexican. I order up a taco and the fella says " do you want hot sauce on it" "Oh aye" says me. "I have this one" he replies "3000 times hotter than Tabasco or this one which is 8000 times hotter"
Well,being the big man and aw that,I said dish it out. I can hack it.
He puts a wee splash on a nacho,I scoff it and fuck me, I think I've been CS gassed. Eyes streaming,couldn't speak,cold sweat,shakes and of course all the guys just collapse laughing.
Took me about 4hours to recover.
What a twat.
