It seems my boss for the current job I'm is clueless about the type of mud system we're running here, and why we're running it that way.
Thankfully the people on the rig know what they're talking about, so I can just ignore him.

He absolutely shat himself when I told him we'd added 10kg/m3 of Suspentone earlier. :twisted: :lol:
He seems to be missing the point that unlike on most mud systems, Suspentone is the primary viscosifier here to half avoid barite sag.
He's also oblvious to the fact that the mud he sent out last week had ardly any in it.

That could be down to experience with it. If you have been using mud on a regular basis you get to know the tricks that are not in the manuals.

You know what you're supposed to do when there is a stationary car in front of you on the road? [LIFTED] STOP. Thanks for killing my car though.

+1. Then you have to worry about if the driver is insured or what it will do to your insurance.

I'm ok thanks. I have a bad back (going back a few years) and it has aggravated it but nothing more serious than that. Not sure about the car though, bent metal behind the rear bumper and in the spare wheel well. It's taken the woman all bloody day to bother to tell her insurance though so it will be tomorrow at the earliest before I can sort out a courtesy car, etc.

Women! Get out of the fcuking bathroom!

Every time I go to use the upstairs throne either my sister or my ma are in there - especially not good when you've just had a 'fart that didn't feel right' (false alarm)... I go to shave and have to wash all the fake tan and make-up debris out of the sink first, the floor's flooded with water and if they drop/set down a razor they just leave it there they're in so much of a hurry... But what really pisses me off are the endless bottles of supposed wonder lotions that mean I wind up setting my stuff on top of the toilet half the time! :x

^^^Having grown up with sisters, I know how you feel. They each spend an hour in there. The shower cubicle has razor blades, loofahs and a multitude of shower gels and shampoos. For some reason there are four tubes of toothpaste and about eight toothbrushes.

By comparison, I have one shower gel and one shampoo bottle. My toothbrush and other stuff are in a washbag in my room.

^^^ That's me too. Let me ask you something, are the razor blades always rusty as they seem to have no clue, or is that just the dumbasses I live with?

ION Tesco Direct not only won't let you cancel a pre-order without contacting them, you're expected to hand over your phone numbers, including a MANDATORY mobile number which you might not even have! WTF?! :x

Not really looked that closely but it does pee me off when I spot them on the floor of the shower cubicle. What makes it super annoying is that one sister is now married and has buggered off, and the other lives and works in Norfolk. So why do they have so much crap here? When asked, they said it was for when they visit. The minimum they'll stay for is a weekend - you can cope without the multitudes of products in that case. The maximum is a week - in which case you can bring your products with you.

It has wound me up to the point where I'm gonna spend some of the two weeks of leave I've booked clearing crap out of the house, and that upstairs bathroom will be the first to be hit. Compare this to the bathroom downstairs which is nowadays almost entirely used by my dad and maybe guests. There's imperial leather in a soap dish, a shampoo on the window sill, a handwash thing above the sink, and a toilet cleaner and brush next to the toilet.

This is just one reason why I'm glad I don't have any sisters.

I have sisters.

I also had my dad - legendary powers of bathroom clearing.

Just marvelling at the sick irony of a Chancellor who benefits from a massive family trust fund telling conference he's going to 'stop people getting something for nothing'.

Brilliant!
I've had four days of after a three and a half week trip, and the buggers have me going to to Aberdeen tomorrow for ten more days.
