Try and spin it out till the end of Sept! F1 was great there last year.
Fee's dad lives in Marina Bay, close to the track etc. Shame we arent going over for it in Sept. We'll be back over there at new year though.
Aberdeen - not everyoe is in oil in Aberdeen but a lot are.... It is something like the 2nd wealthiest city in the UK behind London.
Colin - 28 isnt bad.... Most i've done on 1 trip was 91 days. But i dont really work 12hrs a day like most rig folk. A lot of that 91 days was actually on land in Stavanger too Currently out on an Exxon job in the North Sea.

you dont like 28/28 ? i would easily do that Colin!!
i was suppose to be on a 2 month on , 1 month off rotation out of Oz this year,but only enough work for 1 guy , and i was bumped out of it cause the other guy had more experience.
alan- dont use weirs pumps, they do for injecting the well my mate is a cnc at weir in aberdeen
Adam- yeah i am hoping to spin it out for as long as pos!!!
what is it you do ? and who do you work for?
