Mood: He's not happy {:o( He's back at sea!
Ains. Casson. Posh title is Exploration Geophysicist.
That is, looking for oil. But not on rigs.
I look after the crew that go in to conduct the geophysical survey that gets the data that the interpreters look at and stick a pin in the sub surface section saying, drill here.
Usually at sea on a research boat but can be found anywhere from deep desert to city centre and all points in between including mangrove swamps which means I work pretty much anywhere in the world and have done, but have been stuck in Saudi working up and down the Gulf since 2002. Yup in the Gulf up north when GW2 kicked off; sat around on deck at night watching the Ham Shanks fly over setting off cruise missiles over our heads, then legged it down to the mess room to watch them land in Bagdad!!
Looking to find a job back in the UK after 15 years overseas and 26 in the industry. I'd like to go home each evening.
Fat bloody chance basically!
Bikes: Riding since 16, first bike I owned '72 H*nda CB250K4 and K3; RD 200; '78 CB400/4F2; '82 Katana 1000sz (still got that) and since April 1997 a '92 Ducati 888SP4S currently under repair.
S'about it really.

Ains.
