just my luck

waiting to go to damamam airport in Saudi and the helicopter is late so i was worrying about missing my flight to Dubai but no need to worry now as some Bangladeshi pilot has decided to crash his plane on Dubai runway.
lucky enough nobody was injured but it means that the airport is closed for 8 hrs

AND I CANT EVEN HAVE A BEER

oh well

finally leaving Saudi tomorrow to go back to Dubai at last
I'm sure each time i go back to Saudi roustabouts from Saudi just get lazier and lazier never met such a bunch of effing lazy ****.
got my review when i get back as well boy I'm i looking forward to that lots to say about this and that. we used to get 100dhs allowance when travelling to a job (a measly 14 quid) now they have stopped that and only long haul flights get it, talk about penny pinching, soon see about that lol.

anyway don't you all forget the 17Th of march , no i don't mean st Patrick's day i mean my birthday :) any of the lads reading this in Dubai well a few drinks in the Irish village is on the books

still in saudi

still in Saudi on a rig called ensco 95 this was the first rig i went on back in august last year and all the same crew are here so its not to bad can have a bit of a laugh with the expats on board.
yesterday we moved 12 miles and had some divers from UK come aboard they had to dive down and check the legs of the rig where they enter the seabed. thankfully i was told we are ok from toppling over !!.
one good bonus is we have wireless Internet on board i just bribed the rig manager with some movies from my laptop and he gave us the code to access it.
will be back in Dubai on the 12Th of march for 3 weeks, looking forward myself to having sometime off and relaxing on the beach, been in Dubai since august and never seen the beach yet how sad is that. though the most important thing to happen in the 3 weeks i have off is on mar 31st ITS THE DUBAI WORLD CUP cant wait and this should be highlight of the year, if anyone doesn't know its the richest horse race in the world held in Dubai where GAMBLING IS BANNED so my mobile will be red hot that day on calls to William hill in the UK.
anyway another post soon
