Skean Dhu eh?

I reckon choppers are like bees - the laws of physics say they shouldn't be able to fly

Wouldn't catch me on one!

you're not wrong there mate! it may look big and clever but as soon as you're out over the sea the novelty wears off! they are LOUD smelly bastard things!

The best thing you can do on a chopper is sleep! Everyone does!

Weird thing though is that the vibration tends to make the hairs in my nose itchy as fuck and i wake up
I suppose you'll only understand after you've been on one LOL

Did you edit there?
PSN eh! Were they the old KBR? Is it Production Services Network?

They are on the rig i've been on lately, Ninian South. I was told the PSN guys get Ł5k extra per year just because they are on that platform because noone else wants to work up there!!!!
