"Unlucky Ducky" Mini Diary (w/photos)

Looks like it’s time for yet another diary but unfortunately this could be the last one for a while… :cry:
To cut a long story short I’ve recently turned down several UK/Euro jobs in favour of a small bulk haulier doing local work. I just figured I’d like to do something different and have a more enjoyable life. Actually the pay was almost comparable to what I was earning anyway plus I would have been saving £40-50 a week on fuel and finishing at around 5-6PM every evening. Just done a couple of days and really enjoyed it but unfortunately I won’t be needed there any longer… :cry: I can’t really say anything bad about the boss, he’s a lovely fella IMO but for whatever reason it hasn’t worked out… I’ve decided to hide my brief under the bed and look for a “normal” job for a bit… Anyway, here’s an insight into my last day on the road for a while…

Flipping heck,you get around.What happened to NZ ?

Flipping heck,you get around.What happened to NZ ?

Good question… Another of my epic failures tbh… Reckon I should just go back to Regina and take up residence in Bushwakker’s EHHH… :grimacing: If you see any of those Roughrider prats give 'em a kick up the jakzi will ya… How the [zb] can they blow a lead like that against Calgary…■■ :imp:

I know ! Watched most of the game at a bar in Estevan,went to bed in the 4th quarter with a score of 34 - 18 or thereabouts only to wake and hear on the radio that they’d lost FFS.Hamilton on Saturday,should be good.
Always tons of work waiting for you back here.check Kijiji or Sask Jobs.

Have you worked out what a “double-double” is yet then pal?? Be careful with those Canuck rugby players, the Reapers of Lloydminster have got a ladies team… they get NASTEEE!!! :grimacing:

I don’t know what to say about the situation really, rather [zb]ed off!! I might have a look on Air Canada/Canadian Affair later… Having just been told I’m not really worth £8.20 an hour in this [zb] hole country I might as well get on a plane and [zb] off again… Wouldn’t be the first time would it…■■? :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

Double double is that legal■■? lol rather watch paint dry. I know what you saying I found it so hard to find work with a semi decent wage in the UK.

they got womens team in Lethbridge to but i not found the club yet will look closer to the season. One way ticket probs about £500 depends where you fly to I suppose

Not sure about AB,but here in SK it is the season,May to September.BC they play in the winter.

A “double-double” can also mean a coffee with milk and sugar so I hope it’s legal, otherwise the Saskatchewan RCMP might be on my case if I go back… :wink: I think I’ve heard enough about rugby from the Kiwis to last me a lifetime and some more… Remember playing it at school as a kid, got a bit of quick ball on the blindside and went past a few people but in all the excitement I made the mistake of thinking the 22 was the try line!! Funnily enough I never got picked for the team again… :unamused: You’d be better off sticking to the ice hockey over there, Calgary V Edmonton a.k.a. “The battle of Alberta” can get a bit feisty!!

Remember to clutch every gear on your test and FFS stop dead at a STOP sign… Above all else remember to say “EH” after every sentence and get some photos posted when you get chance…

Tell your tester you’ve never driven the crash box before,they might be more sympathetic with the crunching and grinding.Sod the Hockey,more pansies playing NHL than back home in soccer.Just remember the vital word that’ll get you welcomed everywhere in Canada, “Riderpride” :smiley:

Try the minor leagues for some hockey action… Went to a Nottingham v Sheffield game a few years back and there was a mass brawl on the ice!!! Funny as [zb]!! Well worth the admission fee…Does the “Riderpride” concept still work in Winnipeg or would you end up leaving the bar via the nearest adjacent window?? :laughing: :laughing:

Keep an eye on the ex pat forum Ducky I made a diary coz so many people ask whats it like etc and a lot is my mate went to work for them and told me this… so this one is from the mouth as I find it. Hope some guys find it helpful

Sounds good… Remember the Duckster when your passing through either Vermillion (Alta.) or Rosetown (SK.) as they were where I called home during my all too brief time over there… Penny’s diner in Chamberlain (North of Regina) used to do good food as I recall… I’ve still got unfinished business in that part of the World and I will go back one day for sure… Good luck with everything… :wink:

Thanks Ducky if you ever come back which I’m sure you will soon once itchy feet kick in there loads of work down this way and you got canadian ticket already so straight into work you lucky sod
