Your right of course , only the other day my foot was in a loop of a keep net weighting more than I do, which was over the side plunging into the deep, however I managed to free my foot by throwing myself across the deck.

I did something similar when I was a nipper. Shooting a string of 60 pots, all whizzing off the pile in a laid out order, some twit got a couple crossed. 3 of the strops wrapped around my welly and started to pull me towards the shooting slot.Not bad for a 56 yr old.
Lucky I as in borrowed wellies that were a few sizes too big. The welly got wrenched off and was never seen again. It took a while to unpeel the fingers off the rail.

Thanks, ali. I'm old enough to know better than be taken by surprise I'll have a week or so off and then start looking in earnest. This is so much better than being laid off just before Christmas, I can't tell you.
Latest: Ernest says he doesn't want me looking in him.

Say hi to him from me

In a brief ceremony at work yesterday I was awarded the DCM. That'll learn me. As the last Cad Man Standing I'd convinced myself I'd made the cut for the office move to Wimbledon.
Drat.
Still, if there's no work, there's no work. The jacket sailed away last week and the topsides isn't far behind. They're not even bidding very much at present.
So, this time next week, in the Lounge Bar of the Newbury Labour Exchange, I shall be heard keenly persuing employment opportunities, "Is there any fear of work, mate?"
Do you hear any rumours about the Falklands oil? The last PR blitz said they want a semi-sub platform instead of an FPSO, so presumably there will be a tender going out for that in the next 12 months for them to meet the desired production date of early 2018.Drat.
