I've just landed myself a new job as a Mechanical Service Engineer for a company called National Oilwell Varco

This involves 2 weeks training up at Aberdeen then a further 10 weeks training at Montrose, just wondering if anyone lives in the Montrose area and can suggest things.places to go/do during the week. When i was up there for an interview last month it seemed a little bit on the quiet side, but then again it was a Monday night

Are there any local gyms etc in that neck of the woods?

 

bigryrs off here is from montrose

 

Cheers for that... hopefully he'll see this thread and reply, otherwise i'll stalk him via pm's

 

Drinking, fighting, and berry picking, i think that about covers it! Good luck with the job, NOV are a HUGE company, you'll have plenty of opportunities.

 

Montrose is utter pish mate theres 2 gyms here 1 at the swimming pool with sauna steam room etc and the other down at the sports centre!! as for stuff to do well there isnt much lol give me a shout when you arrive i can show you round

 

lol... thanks

Great stuff, cheers for that

Had a couple of pints in the Market Tavern, Picture House and The Vault after my interview as i had about 4 hours to kill til the train turned up then it was cancelled altogether and i had to get to Edinburgh then get a taxi from Edinburgh to South Shields Luckily at the expense of National Express... the taxi cost £234

 

Hi Mate

When you in aberdeen? Then Mo? Give me the dates and i'll meet up with you even if i have to come down to the mo.

chop

 

 

Decent golf course. Montrose Links i think its called. Carnoustie isn't far either.

Other than that, i can't help. Dundee will be the closest for a decent night out i think!

 

Get on the lash in dundee,when you coming up,we are very sociable you know,your round lol

 

If your up for some man loving, I'm sure RS Grant is not far from there

 

Best thing about Montrose mate is the road out!

 

.....have you been out in Dundee mate?!


Stuart will show you the high class side to Dundee... spot of lawn bowls in the afternoon, followed by some delightful afternoon tea at the Yacht Club before moving onto the familys countryside manor, built by Lord Cos IVth in 1856.

Or, he'll get you shitfaced in Fatties and hook you up with some dirty whoorebags.


Thanks Cilla... but I think your Gaydar needs recalibrated if I register on it buddy.


Cheers,
Grant

 

Sounds tremendous... best pack my tweed suit just incase i get invited to the manor

 

@ welcome to hell

That'd be nice if i could play properly, i've only ever twatted a ball on a driving range

Cool mid to late jan i think for 2 weeks, doing survival, firefighting, rope/slinging etc

Sounds tremendous... best pack my tweed suit just incase i get invited to the manor

Sweet!

More than a few people i've spoken to have said that... i'm beginning to worry lol.

 

Aye, once! Went to Fat Sams.. i think? Was decent! Maybe because im not from there, appreciated it a bit more than you local chookters

 

Do you like pie and beans eh???

 

Aye but not deep fried like you Haggis munchers though

 

You poor fucker stuck in that shithell.

 

ive just been to montrose it sure is quiet in the far corner is a gr8 chinese tastes good and been in the very small pub just through them lights on the left also v quiet the place is nice just too quiet till you get someone screaming down the road which is nice prob sumone off here was the culprit lol good luck in the new job 2.

 

I'll PM you my number now hunni...


...on second thoughts, a man who doesn't smile while throwing a battered pie in his grid is of no interest to me.


Chookters... ...Fat Sams is alright every now and again actually, its pretty much the only option for a night out, so if you go more than once in 6 months the smell of B/O and piss soaked carpet can get a bit boring.


Cheers,
Grant

 

dundee is good some night for a drinking session other times its utter pish. plenty of filthy whores in fat sams tho haha

i agree with grant it does stink of pish and BO lol

 

Doh i'm away until 4th Feb Might work out.

Eh fit aboot the chips? Dinnae forget they chips eh??

 

Well im here now, first night last night, had a bite to eat then ended up in the Northern Vaults pub with the other lads im working with, staying in a canny little B&B, so far so good.

Cant believe how little snow is up this way compared to what we've been getting in England, the roads were champion on the way up

 

 

Aberdeens only about 45 mins away best get driving that way if your looking for something to do
