DVDs are available from the non-smokers lounge.
Decent gym.

The Bad

Cabins do not have ensuite showers and toilets. The Showers and toilets are shared with the next-door cabin. More bothersome is the fact that the sinks are located within the shower cubicle itself, meaning a soaking floor is constantly underfoot when wanting to brush teeth etc.
No quiet room.
Over-zealous censoring of websites on the gateway ISP.
Lack of red-meat dishes.
A tiny stocked library with a poor selection of books is available here also.
Byzantine safety induction paperwork delays and compounds.

Offshore Welfare (External) - No smoking shack area on the production platform. Smoking area in the boot locker area only.
H2S monitors are required to be worn in certain areas of the platform.
Morning break snacks so-so. Afternoon snacks are nice enough though.
Ridiculous knife policy in force.

Platform Emergency Drills - Normally carried out weekly (usually on a Sunday).
