You should try being here for 9 months.... Can't wait to get back home!

Is that 9 months straight?!?!

I quite like a bit of travel with work, but a couple of weeks per trip is all I can tolerate. 2 weeks in South Africa and by the end of it I was craving a nice simple bowl of pasta and a pint of decent cider!

Kind of... I get to come back to the UK for a week or so every 3 months. I'm on month 6 now, so 3 months left. I quite like it.. Being out here for such a long period of time definitely makes you appreciate home comforts. I'd happily pay £100 for a decent fish&chips right now!

pff sat watching the flashy lights and occasionally contemplating turning things off and back on again..... just to relieve the tedium.

[Brigand]

Ahh Lee, we meet again! I'm nearing the end of my first of five night shifts. Currently surfing here and reading Autocar between doing some actual work.

[LeeThr]

How are we? I've given up with the missions for now im too tired to actually concentrate on what I have to do, so im just going all out rampage style

[Brigand]

It took me a while to complete it, but I never put more than an hour or two into it at a time, so spread it out. I'm playing GT6 and The Last of Us at the moment, both keeping me occupied.

[LeeThr]

Anybody lurking tonight?

[italianjob1275]

Starting 5 so not really a night shift.

Waiting outside a garage to pick a mate up who's dropping his A6 off for paint after someone reversed into it 2 days into his ownership.

See, I wouldn't mind something like that. My shift pattern goes:

3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off, 2 on, 2 off, and repeat.

Its crap. 7 on, 7 off would be better. Least I'd know what day it is!!

As a Co-op milkman it was 7 on, 2 off, 7 on two off, 7 on three off, hence the 28 day cycle, and the 3 off always fell on Friday to Monday to avoid collecting days. It worked well, but the worst part was getting home in mid-winter and trying to get some feeling back in the hands. Ruddy painful!

[shogun001]

Would like my bed now please. Not looking forward to working christmas eve 6am-6pm either...

[bazza white]

And me on my third night and its a nasty one
