IIRC, you got payed last time can't fly home...Are you paying now to be at home?
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Yes....
Paid to be at home you meant to say!
|

I didn't meant that - but you answered me anyway...

The middle of the North Sea is a silly place to build a rig, they should have built it onshore.
|
|
|
|

And convince the oil the get there...Great idea...Patent it before some make use of it...

I agree totally -- apparently, at sea is where worse things happen, so the whole idea of building there is silly.

Maybe they put the sea in the wrong place and should swap it with the land?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

Awesome pic. Does one have to take a psych test before being allowed to live out at see for long periods of time? Serious question. I liken that to a brief stay on a sub, maybe a little more room, but it's not like you can go for a 5 mile run by the lake.
Be safe.

No, but those that don't like it soon leave.
I have seen young guys turn up for their FOET and get up and walk out the classroom in the middle of the instructors brief saying things like "this isn't for me". They could at least give it a try!
FOET => https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7mDmWye4QQ[^] So much fun!

I'd think it'd be better that they realize it's not for them at the start of training than after they've already been flown out to the rig for the 1st time.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

But they are typically just reacting to fear rather than genuine experience related decision making.
Think about kids who wont go on a roller coaster, but force them to do it once and then you can never get them off the things!

I've ben on roller coasters a few times I still don't like them.
A oil rig might be an interesting Day trip but not to stay.

Looks calm enough to me.

"Teacher not returned from ramble."(6,2)
Fairly easy I think
---------------------------------
Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur .
|
|
|
|
|
Ambled On
not returned from ramble - drop the r (amble)
teacher - Don
Ambled On - not retuned from ramble.
|
|
|
|
|
~No, but I see how you were thinking.
---------------------------------
Obscurum per obscurius.
Ad astra per alas porci.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum videtur .

If the teacher didn't return they must have "jogged on"
You were correct it was easy.
|
|
|
|
|
Teacher = RABBI
not returned = TON
Ramble = RABBIT ON
|
|
|
|
|
Ah yes.
I got fixated on "Don"...cognitive lock, I tell you.
