Some do, in the past when Shell owned rigs they used the term foreman, but it's not common now. However, that wasn't the reason for using it, Toolpusher is not an easily recognised job description, so for the benefit of the general population who have not been soiled by oil, I used foreman. Many Weegies would automatically associate Toolpusher with knob jockey, which in most cases would not be too far from the truth.

It's going to be a long slog. I prefer Keich, Keech would sound like leech, Keich is pronounced in the same manner as Adolf Eichmann, who was a big Scottish excrement, a monumental one in fact, who got his just deserts.

I feel the hand of the English here. If one types Scottish excrement with all the letters joined up, a herculean task for some I admit, then it is displayed on the forum as the word "Scottish". Let me demonstrate, I shall type the excrement word Scottish excrement all joined up: scottish excrement

Okay this is weird on the post above it transposed Scottish excrement (joined up letters remember ) as "scottish excrement".

My post count had better be increasing. None of this not counting because they are in the same thread nonsense. That would be crap.

You can get to be an Admiral by talking crap :D

But it's better asking and answering dumb questions.

There are a variety of ways to avoid the idiot sweary word filter, sometimes necessary when it refuses to let you use perfectly good words e.g. a "bastard file" is rendered as a "love child file". A "cunt splice" becomes a "corker splice" and on it goes.

I do that as well. I am converting from TOP to this place slowly but surely.

Thanks marisca. An interesting swear filter indeed. I thought they just replaced the offending word with an asterisk. One lives and learns.

I miss all that thumb twiddling for money. A pal in Aberdeen tells me there are 0.4 applicants for every job and that I could get ofshore again nae bother if I whacked a well-crafted CV into the right place (and maybe lied a wee bit about my age).

Youngest son is in Siberia at the moment - been there three weeks already on £190 a day, not bad for a gauge hand . . . and he gets a bigger basic than I ever did as well.

Age isn't an issue- your particular skill is...

I'm more in demand now than I ever was when I was the preferred side of 50...it's a golden time on the offshore industry.

Again...

Do they not use electric wireline offshore any more? I can still remember to push forward for down and pull back for up . . .
