Nev 360: Some Changes
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2011/05/some-changes.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Sunday, 1 May 2011. Excuse me for not being so attentive to this blog recently, but big changes are afoot and this blog will soon be getting a gritty reboot, Batman style. All the news now follows (warning: one is a lie):. I also became a semi-uncle just a week ago when my cousin gave birth to a child. Yes, a child. I think a semi-uncle has less responsibilities that a full-uncle, so I can probably get away with just patting it on the head when I see it. Finally, due to wo...

Nev 360: Pie On A Mountain
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2011/05/pie-on-mountain.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Sunday, 22 May 2011. Pie On A Mountain. As already mentioned, it's my final job. I bet the Koreans have a proper word for this. Of course, my job wasn't always sunset strolls on the helideck or smooth data acquisition and smiling, helpful drillers sitting side-by-side with company men who became like brothers. Like all jobs, there was a dark side. Yes, I know you might be surprised - "the oil industry has a dark side? Like eating that multifarious pie up a mountain, it mig...

Nev 360: December 2010
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Saturday, 25 December 2010. Merry Christmas. from the North Sea. Yes, alas, this year instead of spending the festive period surrounded by the laughter and joy of loved ones, with a roaring log fire and the mess of shiny wrapping paper torn open with excitement, I am adrift in the bitter North Sea, covered in sticky tar-like oil like the excrement flung by a debased Santa’s elf.

Nev 360: August 2010
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Thursday, 26 August 2010. Sleeping In A Bed Of Dead Puppies. Sleeping in a bed of dead puppies. That’s how The Mountie described our situation right now. The precise breakdown of the analogy or metaphor I’m not sure of, but I know it instinctively feels right. These puppies have been dead a few days, there’s a fair bit of mush, and God they stink. Sleeping at night is peculiarly comfortable, but certainly not desirable. But let’s not upset ourselves with vague vision...

Nev 360: October 2010
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Saturday, 30 October 2010. Basil The Bow Wow Does Not Exist. Basil the Bow Wow does not exist. That is the alarming, childhood-undermining discovery of late. Basil the Bow Wow, a cornerstone of my childhood, does not appear anywhere on the internet. Type in his name, in inverted commas, into Google and a total of zero hits are found (I guess the writing of this entry might change that to a single solitary hit). Zero internet hits = non-existence. And as my sister recalled:.

Nev 360: Uncle Nev
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2011/05/uncle-nev.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Friday, 20 May 2011. I am now a very proud uncle. My brother Ian and his wife Katherine had a baby just the other day. If it had been a boy I am assured it would have been called Baby Nev, but perhaps it was better for everyone it turned out to be a girl, which they have named Ella Audrey. Congratulations Uncle Nev. Give my regards to Iain, Katherine and baby Ella. Sat May 21, 10:32:00 am 2011. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to my blog! Now in full colour!

Nev 360: September 2010
http://nev360.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Salt galore, and the open road. Thursday, 16 September 2010. Well, I got back home from Nigeria just a handful of days ago. Just in time to meet the Pope. You’re the ones that’re wrong. If we can all just stop listening to our inner voices and start listening to the Pope’s voice, then maybe we can start to get things right too. The bomb or bullet back at the assailant. For this reason, I guess all the police gathered today were here as much for the protection of the people as they were for the Pope.
