Forres North Sea Tigerz

This is it folks. The king of all tigers. Big Ross Boyle. Ross started out in modest beginnings to excel himself to the very top of the offshore pyramid. One day Ross was on that chopper to his first installation and next he was getting a private chopper to the golf. Ross is not only an outstanding driller he's also a real stand up guy. A bit of a legend really. Ross popped in past earlier for a chin wag. "One day I was running doors on night clubs living the real party style dream next I was right up the top of the oil ladder. And I mean the top. I'm a very big deal. I think it was my people skills as a bouncer that helped me move up the ladder so fast. I'm having a party next weekend and everyone's invited."
I guess we all have dreams. Most peoples are to be the real deal....the real Ross Boyle.

you can take a man off the rigs. but you cant take the rigs out a man - martin luther king

C'mon tigers share ur chopper story's with us for everyone to read. Tell us about how bumpy it is and how bad the weather gets? We are all dying to know?

Remember this weekend when your out to tell everyone in the pub how much you earn and all about your friends offshore. Even if they don't look like they want to listen...they do. Add a few grand onto the wages too it never goes wrong.

if anyone asks what your plans for the future are folks. just say your doing your offshore survival so people think your doing something with your life - offshore worker aberdeen

todays tiger is none other than young josh duncan from forres . Josh has recently embarked on a pipe fitting career on the rigs much to the delight of his proud father and brother who are also on the rigs bringing in the bucks. Joshes talents and expertise lie in the plumbing department so fitting pipes is like taking sweets from a baby, and no we dont mean smoking them as well... Joshes mr nice guy reputation echoes throughout the forres community and even as far as dallas. ...we caught up with a local passerby to ask her opinion on forress own leanoardo di caprio. " oh josh is a lovely boy, many a time when my husband has been away working has josh paid me a visit to see if my pipes are clean and working well and he never charges! great to see their is decent young people left in forres who dont drink or smoke.." Some say josh has a shy side but once the first drink goes down the ladys man comes out like a roller coaster breaking through ice. joshes confident and smooth moves make puling for him at weekends easy and effortless. Another impeccable tiger has joined the forresian ranks and the forres community should be proud.

Get ready folks cause this is a tiger of the day with a real bite. It's Danny brads. Danny's a guy who's got a real reputation for being a local badass as well as having an extensive knowledge of cocktails. Don't be fooled though as the bradman has a fantastic work ethic. This is what Danny had to say "the badass bradman persona didn't help me at first but when the guys realised I'm a real workhorse things took off. I'm that great at my job I'm seen as a bit of godfather offshore. When it's my few weeks off though I'm kicking ass once again. Cocktails everywhere! I don't worry about the money cause I'm minted."
Well Done bradman. You keep working hard and knocking the cocktails back.

remember people being offshore is not about the oil. Its about the money and telling people your offshore in the pub so they think your are rich like gordon brailsford

Next up on the long list of admirable Tigers is non-other than Callum Whitmore. Callum's got a reputation in the town as Mr Cool and is very very big on the music scene. He can be quite often found dancing the night away, classic cool young hipster. Don't be fooled however as Callum's work ethic is even more intense than his partying. Callum spared us 5 mins of his time earlier. "Yeh the works really tough, but I'm sharp, I'm motivated and I've got all the credentials to make it to the top. I work hard but believe me, when there's a laugh and joke in the t-shack, the whitmiester is never far away! " Callum's cool young image offshore had landed him this cool title 'whitmiester'. Well good luck to you whitmiester and all the best!

our tiger of the day is young steven shaw (left) from forres. Steven is our most recent new comer to the oil industry and is keen as mustard to make it to the top. We interview steven earlier and asked him how his first few trips have been. " yeah i was slightly nervous on the first chopper ride but once my first few days were over i felt more comfortable. The boys are all sound and the works nae bad! cant wait for choppers eve tho!! " Steven works hard but plays even harder, when hes onshore you will find him in either the newmarket or carlton spending the dosh and charming the women.
