So over the last 2-3 weeks I’ve been trying my darnest to get liability and also income protection insurance. I managed to finally find a broked willing to give me liability but the income protection is a no-go as I work offshore. Apperantly there is some stigmata that I’m going to go hurt myself, I mean come on! According to discovery chanel at least my job is no more dangerous then an Alaskan crab fisherman; and being in a supervisory position I’m usually pretty right unless the rig explodes or sinks, and the last big explosion I remember is the Piper Alpha<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This will be the death knell of my sub-contracting position as I can’t sub and not have insurance and will have to go direct hire, which will have a substantial negative impact on my income; but I love what I do and am on the right track to achieving what I wish to achieve.<\/p>\n

I got my tyre replaced today, it appears I need two more, at $200 a pop I really need to get these wholesale.
