I do love your stories.I had to deal with a chap today which we call bull%$£ Brian If youve done somit he's done better. Got bigger bla bla
Anyways he's dealing with this ship & on paperwork he owns it but we know its cause if somit happens to it he's the fall guy. lol
Told all the lads when I wasnt there that he'd scrapped 200 ships funny cause I scrapped two with him 5 years ago &
they were the first ones he'd done. Came down & tried to tell me how we can move forward to get a 30T winch off.
Ok its got a about a mile of 1" cable on the drum, I should strip all the hydraulics off it & strip the gearbox off it so it
would turn so we could get the cable off. I let him waffle on n on n on & just agreed with him. When he buggered off
the lads turned round & said he talks so much poo its unreal.
I told the lads dont do what he said get me a burning torch.....I burnt through the brake which is like a big horse shoe going
round the drum activated on/off via a hydraulic ram & since the diddys cut all the wires/pipes no chance of getting it to work.
I cut the horseshoe into 3 bits & we levered it off then I cut the drive chains going to the gearbox & pumps...............
and like magic it spun round
Theres always one isnt there...
You could get paid to do after dinner entertainment!!
Must be fun doing your job, well sometimes!!
