Was talking about this on the weekend. Lots of Mrs Mikes friends, and friends of her parents work on the rigs.

Im trying myself to get into that line work, but still cant help but think about all those guys who died.

It's very easy to get into that work up here most of my friends work offshore my dad works as a diver on the rigs aswell.

Much safer nowadays like but I know what you mean can't help but think its possible for things to go wrong.

[Mike]

Aye, Ive got a lot of mates up north, middlesborough way mostly, there seeing what they can do about getting me in.

Theres always potential for disaster though :(

I'll never forget it, the day after my 10th birthday, and later that same year Lockerbie :(

1988 was a bad year.
