Arrived here from sea after completing a 4 week patrol of the oil platforms and it got hotter here, 41 degrees or 105 degrees Fahrenheit!

I went out with my Fijian mate on the Sunday, pulled up at some posh hotel, but Fiji was wearing these poxy sandals so the doormen wouldn't let him into the club there. We went up to the bar upstairs which was full of ragheads and discussed what we could do. I then went back down to the club, got a pair of shoes off one of the lads and then sorted that out and in we went. Beer was about 4 quid a pint, as it is the most expensive state in the Gulf and I broke sweat when they told me the price. It was f**king hot mind but we had a laugh anyway in there. I showed these young lads how to dance as well.

Fell out of the hotel at about 3 or 4 and got a cab back to the ship, Fiji stopped this geezer from putting this other bloke's nose across his face, not sure what that was about but anyway, problem solved.

Crashed and burned on the ship and didn't surface until about 2 in the afternoon as it was a lazy Sunday routine. I wasn't sure if I was going to go on this 'pub crawl' with some expats, but once my wingman the Fijian had decided we were going then that was it, glad rags and pork pie hat on, off we went. Did a few boozers in the hotels, then went to this geezers gaff who clearly liked the navy with all the photos of ships in his bar and so on. We sat outside in his back garden and attempted to drink his bar dry, as well as when we couldn't be arsed to use the bog we watered his plants! Then we headed up to this other gaff which was an ex-pats club and had a good few swallies in there until closing time. Fiji decided to trap this Doris and ended up not coming back in the cab with me and one of the other lads.

Back onboard at Gawd knows what time and woke up at 5 to 8, no time for shower shit and shave! Had to keep a low profile to avoid looking a complete shambles for work and then pegged it down below to square myself away. Another f**king scorcher today and we had to dig out stowing an awning what was raised for a cocktail party. Did that, finished work at 12 and then got in my pit for the afternoon. Woke up about half four and the Fijian still hadn't turned up! He finally got back about 1715, the big gormless pillock! He'll be seeing the man and will probably get fined and/or stoppage of leave.


All in all, not bad, got pissed and did well out the place, considering the cost of a pint!!
