Forced to shave at work.

No I've moved on from that to a different scene

 

Das Island is part of Abu Dhabi, but is actually closer to Doha than Abu Dhabi.
I know Jebel Ali well, not that there was much there in my day (77-89).
What ship were you operating?

One of Her Majesty's Mine Hunters HMS Bicester - I was the Navigating Officer, Jebel Ali was an easy port to enter and exit, once I got told off for speeding by the harbour master because we were causing to much of a wake! There is little I really remember about the place apart from we ran to the dockyard gate one evening and got a lift back as I think it was 7 miles away.

 

My family and I watched Jebel Ali port being being built in the 80's, they just dug a bloody great hole then flooded it!!
Running 7 miles to the dockyard gate, that was a waste of energy, you would have been better off getting a lift to the gate, then running to the Jebel Ali Hotel and getting a cold beer!

Im just filling in for someone who is sick this trip,hopefully he gets better so I don't need to come back.
We get reports from the platforms telling us that they are expelling toxic gasses and when we do close passes nobody is allowed outside,good in a way because I can sit here on TLB and have some entertainment instead of being out on deck working,hehe!

 

I think the same should apply to certain TLB members ...
