Crap start stuck on plane for 1.5 hours at Skipol airport, just boarded n then thunder storm blew over. The whole airport at a standstill. 12 hour flight to Seoul, a wee bit of turbulence, Holly crap.
Stil suffering a bit of jet lag and tired zzzzzzzz
I had a good experience at Schipol some years ago. Had a flight from St Martins in the north east of the carribean, down to Curacao off the coast of Venezuela for an hour stopover, then on to Schipol. On arrival at Schip, got collared by an airline rep, pulled out of the exit queue and raced to the other end of the terminal at breakneck speed to get a waiting connection to Heefrow. Was only at Schipol for about 5 minutes. Luggage was delivered home next day.

This chap wants to choose what he wants to do, I give all the lads jobs to on the ship then I go & do my thing. I give it 1/2 n hour
then go & check to see how everyone is getting on this stubborn git goes to help other people have a wee chat play on there phones. I walked in & caught them watching a video the lad threw his phone away 🤣 🤣

He started a job on Monday then left a mess so other peeps have to clear it up, I told everyone to leave it so he could finish it.
He never turned up Tuesday probably thinking someone would have finished the job errr nope its still there for him. Then refused
to do it today so pee of home with no pay for today. Thing is it was only a 20 min job so I done it took pics before & after to show
the timeline then showed it to the owners, they were laughing at me when I went to see them as they already knew what happened tried to wind me saying I was bulling him. :vb-lol:

Guess who came crawling back & who's getting all the cr@p jobs from now on, what a silly billy 🤣🤣🤣
Little git got wot e deserved!
Surprised ee is still employed!;)
 
Well been a busy time here at Chateau Steamer.
Guests arrived later than expected due to the weather in Bordeaux and points east, I'd spent the day tiring myself out wiv last minute cleaning etc, and precooking their dins, Cottage pie, which they loved! they are both Anglophiles.
Following day they both borrowed kit of us, the wife spent the day weeding and the husband got on my machine and cut loads of weeds. I had to keep stopping them and getting them indoors to eat, drink and be merry!
They arrived with lots of alcoholic gifts.
This a.m. we went shopping leaving W behind , had a rather alcoholic lunch and they are now both siestaing!
So all good 'ere.
Enjoy your weekends folks!

Enjoy, they are very nice people :).

I enjoyed my time in SK working in a shipyard in Okpo.

Be very carful of the little bottles of soju they can go down very easy and, well you can guess the rest:oops:.

What parts are you visiting or are you staying around Seoul?

Another day under me tratter engine bay, turbo removal! Something which should score ten spanners in a Haynes manual. Had to bend the heat shield to get it past the brake servo (easy to do as it is thin sheet metal and will easily bend back upon re-installation). Multiple awkward to get at bolts to remove ancillary parts, some knuckle skin removed in the process. And one extremely difficult and one impossibly difficult nuts to access between the turbo flange and the eggs zorst manifold. But with a stroke of genius I bored two strategically placed 25 dia holes through the inner wing (plastic) arch and by joining a couple of socket extension bars together, got a perfect alignment with both nuts. Good job anorl, it took a 24 inch breaker bar to start the "impossible" one. Left it still attached but loose, just the oil feed (easy access) and drain (*&£%@) to do tomorrow. And final removal of the turbo. After all this, it had better be bust! (I think it is, otherwise I would be doing something else). And unless you know someone more deserving, I am awarding myself the Bodgineer of the Week Award :cool:
