Heres to 3 weeks off![/quote]5 weeks > 3 weeks.[:D][/quote]I couldnt do 5, fair play to you. 3/3 is alright but soon going 2/3. Happy days![/quote]2 on 3 off, I wouldn''t mind some of that!As long as it was for the same money of course lol.[/quote]yeah 2 on 3 off, no change with pay either! I find 3 long enough, how on earth do you manage 5?![/quote]Its not so bad, you just get your head down and get on with it. Plus being on a vessel is different, theres always different stuff going on, its not so groundhog day as the rigs. Obviously my most favourite bit is the 5 weeks off[;)][/quote]What are internet connections like on the rigs/vessels? Can you get a good football stream?

Dr. Ink 0 Posted June 18, 2013 On the ships it is generally no good for video streams, but good enough for the live text updates. My company has a web blocking system in use so Youtube and most other streaming sites are now blocked. Depending where we are working we sometimes get Sat TV using a tracking dish. I worked most of the last few years off Australia with Fox TV (Australias version of Sky). Saw every Norwich game live using viewers choice on the red button. Now jumping from country to country, so no TV at all as we don''t have any universal decoders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morty 0 Posted June 18, 2013 On my vessel you have no chance with streams, the net is fine for surfing but not good enough for any streaming. But I still see a lot of games, I was in Norway for a lot of last season and City were never off the telly! And while I''m in Angola we get South African telly and see quite a lot of sports.
