Could have been worse, instead of mining Hydrogen on the sun, you could have been a "reporter" for The Sun.... You should be glad of what you had!
Its too hot!

Does Sun still have Page 3?
The Sun newspaper will no longer feature topless women on Page Three, the Times has reported. ... Dylan Sharpe, the Sun's head of public relations tweeted on Monday: "Page 3 will be in the Sun tomorrow in the same place it's always been - between page 2 and page 4."

Shows how long ago I looked at a news paper...that Sunday Sport was a cracking read...
Interesting fact - my mate paid his way through an English degree at university in the late 80's / early 90's writing the letters page for the Sunday sport. They came to the uni during Freshers week and recruited them for it.It had words
So, I'm afraid that story about Sally from Bolton and the randy milkman? Written by a 19 year old spotty student.

My interesting fact for the day - polar bears are invisible to night vision goggles.
What about them x-ray specs you could get from adverts in the back of the Beano?

They have trouble getting them around their ears
I will remember that next time i go into Tesco late at night just in case there are some in the car park.
Ah...you can still find the Elvis Presley Tutenkhamun death mask clock...
There's always one and even Jesus had his doubting Thomas!
Ah well, here goes:
o The Production Unit was the FPU Tahara based on PY3 in the Bay of Bengal. I was the HS&E Manager for Hardy Oil & Gas at the time, which was around 2000.
o The Ukrainian Gas Plant was owned and operated by a UK Company. I went out there to run a Training Course for the Operations Group around the same time.
o The Gas Plant in Saudi Arabia was the Shedgum Gas Plant. It produced 1,000 metric tonnes of elemental sulphur per day from the 1.6 billion cubic feet of sour gas entering the plant. I was a Trainer on the start-up of the plant in 1980. There was no AC in the squash courts. (*)
(*) The American Engineers who designed the Plant had specified that the fans were to be manufactured to a specification that allowed a temperature of up to 50*C for the air-cooled fin-fans.
What the Engineers didn't realise was that "Yea!" the ambient temperature on the plant could get up to 40*C on summer days, BUT when the black fibre-glass blade of a fan was left out in the sun the temperature could well exceed the 50*C specification; as was discovered when the first two fin-fans sailed through the air as they failed and decided to go walk-about!
If anyone doesn't believe any of this then there is a phrase that I have been known to use in similar circumstances; and the second word is "Off!"

So now your claiming to be Jesus? Well I suppose you can legitimately claim to make water into wine (or beer)

Not really; but here's one that may shine a light on my style of Management!
The Shedgum Gas Plant was potentially very dangerous IF there was ever a leak of gas. The Inlet stream contained up to 60% H2S and a single breath would be all it would take to kill a person, so every time I took a Group out on to the Plant I stressed that it was essential to know where the nearest BA Set was at all times.
The lecture was brief "You don't breathe if you hear the H2S Alarm. You go over to the nearest BA Set, take it out of the container, turn on the air to purge the mask, fit the mask over your face and TAKE YOUR FIRST BREATH SINCE HEARING THE ALARM."
One day, as I gave the briefing before a trip out to the Plant, the lads smiled and looked at each other as if it was highly amusing. Of course, I pointed out that this was "No laughing matter!" and reiterated how serious the situation could be.
At this stage, young lad called Adnan Tahir said "Of course, we know how serious it can be and we know what an H2S Alarm means. We were discussing the situation in the Mess Room this morning and we decided that when we are out on the Plant with you, we have to know where the SECOND NEAREST BA SET IS!"
He had a point!
Happy Days!
