Can't believe you've only got 8 applications for this one mate. If I'd had the the required time served I'd eat my own kids for work like that. ;)
 
Maybe he only got 8 applicants because Algeria is an alqueida hot bed, didn't a British guy just get shot there last week on the news.

FFS, I thought ten years experience would be easy got, I am very surprised by the poor response I thought the guy's e-mail would be choker.

Have to be honest and say when you here the countries safe but you just have to be careful it does make you think. Being careful was never the scaffs strong point.:D
 
Me too... but you know - with all the problems in North Africa atm, the sheer name: Algeria could be be enough to put people off.
 
Yeah I would probably have to do a bit of research but I reckon the call of the cash would just be too strong and as socialising is out of the question it should be worth the risk. I would also imagine that no matter how tough you think you are if some guy came at you with a fekin machete you would just pi ss yourself and do what he said.
 
The pennies finally dropped lol
Not just machetes they have they're seriously tooled up them alqueida and according to the British government all but essential travel to Algeria and city's such as chelif no go areas which is only 100 miles form arzew which is where the job is. I would want to know what security measures are in place personaly.:wondering:

Ya, lol.

But, if all that is said is true (I got no reason to think otherwise: Scot seems straight as they come), and everyone is packed up nice and tight in company accommodation, then it should be fine, as long as none of the boys chosen go out on crazy 'excursions' to some little village in the middle of a desert, lol.

I mean the guy is there atm and he seems OK... aint had his hands chopped off yet, as typing with stumps instead of fingers is a touch difficult, lol.

Me? Ill be waking up, washing, going to job, working, eating, working, back to the digs, relaxing and going to sleep, lol.
Plenty of time on the 3 week breaks to go sight seeing. ;)
 
Not really, it was always a factor but there is loads of guy's out there earning a good living but as the man say's you just have to be switched on. they will give you the do's and dont's. I honestly would be right up for it.

Me too Jason. I have a cousin who spent half his working life out there chasing the cash on one pipe line or another and after a heart attack he retired and missed it that much he bought a house out there. They call him the swallow as it's the winter over there and the summer over here.

I hope you get lucky.

haha, the tools aren't that dusty believe me but first day of my holiday and my mate called to say 2 men had wrapped it in after a big fall out. We had to have a big cuddle in the yard Monday morning and days golf helped. If I went for weeks god knows what I would find on my return. Another one of the down sides to running your own wee show, it can be like a weight round your neck at times.
 
like Jason says, (all but essential travel)

travel to the job, travel back from the job, take it as read that sightseeing or wandering about isn't a good idea and fingers crossed bob's your uncle.

As my old ma used to say, if you don't try, you'll never know. So I'm still up for it as well
