SUDAN anyone been?

[beerlaodrinker]

Its like the world has ended eh?

yeah. Something like that ao. They even have a 0% strawberry flavoured beer. How fucked up is that?

[baldrick]

How fucked up is that?

dill will be there shortly

[stroller]

Relaxing Easter Friday:

[Jack meoff]

[OhOh]

Head north to Egypt, jump onto a ship on the Nile, there doesn't appear to be any hope in the other directions. If caught ask to see the local AU Ambassador.

[fishlocker]

Haven't posted in awhile BLD. Everything going as planned in Sudan?

[bobo746]

BLD they must be paying you a truckload of cash to stay in a shithole like that.
And no beer f--k that.
You will be a skinny k-nt when you get out of there.

[YourDaddy]

I don't get it. Is "mineral exploration" still profitable?

Or is this one of them small caps listed on junk venture exchanges relying on "investor confidence"

[bsnub]

Fook me!! This is were BLD is right now as we speak...



No beer, No interwebs, No pussy.

Fuck that!!

[happynz]

Looks grim, but the pay is probably excellent.

[Shy Guava]

BLD, who is the drilling contractor?

[Luigi]

Reckon he's gone gay at this stage, drilling Dodgy Dave the bunk buddy.

Gay for pay. Fook that.

[bsnub]

Reckon he's gone gay at this stage

One of the locals will bring him one of these...

[Latindancer]

I think BLD is conditioning himself for his next movie role in "Dune ...part 2".

[toslti]

I think BLD has run out of phone credit and is having difficulty find a 7-11 to top-up.

[crackerjack101]

I doubt tinterweb access is that reliable at his drill site.

[aging one]

I doubt tinterweb access is that reliable at his drill site.

Maybe tethered to a satellite phone? Too many NO's on this one BLD unless you are making the real big bucks.

[OhOh]

My roster will be 8 weeks on 3 weeks off

Time will tell.

[Neverna]

I bet BLD looses quite a few kilos.

[klong toey]

Think the Fuzzy Wuzzy have kidnapped him he could already be their sex slave.

[Luigi]

I bet BLD looses quite a few kilos.

Along with his marbles.

Poor koont will never be the same again.



For some reason I can't imagine him signing up for the next 8 week shift.

[baldrick]

a satellite phone?

archaic for internet - it will be a dish now

I remember being in the desert trying to have a technical discussion with an indian in singapore over a sat phone with its one second delay and low sound quality

I ended up just sending him hand drawn pictures with the fax machine as it was more productive

BLD is likely just eating , working and sleeping with maybe a movie on the laptop before rack - this also helps the time to pass quicker - get the days just rolling over

[david44]

Good luck BLD while we're creamed you'll be minted, it shows whay a great poster that everyone wants to hear if your camel was a virgin?

[beerlaodrinker]

I thought this camp was about the worst ive ever seen. Faark was i wrong it turns out i only spent a few day there before being sent to another job. I will post some pictures in a thread when i get home. It didnt have internet for the first few weeks but now they have. Foods shocking and i find myself sharing a cabin with eddie and shiva the tanzanians the room adjoining us is used as a mosque. Makes sleeping past 4.30 impossible. We are 95 kms se of wadi halfa on the egyptian border.

[david44]

sharing a cabin with eddie and shiva

I feel a song coming on, there must be a great book at the end.

Good luck mate, you'll enjoy the moisture of the Mekhong all the more minted.
