Tired of London but not tired of life
Posted by: Tim Gurney
Hey!
Yeah, the NEC Dive Shows in the UK and DEMA in the US were fun – but, damn, it’s good to be back at KBR. Just how much commercialism and fast food can a human take? I lived in the US for 5 years but had forgotten just how big portions can be. Is that a steak or a cow? Damn good cow though I have to say
A few days in Oz on the way back though refreshed my taste for well-made coffee. If you can’t get your espressos in Italy, try Australia! That post-war Italian emmigration to Australia has paid dividends in the coffee stakes!
I flew into Manado Wednesday afternoon and was back in the water Thursday morning. Phewwwwwwww – that nitrogen felt good, the water felt refreshing – and the simplicity of life washed back over me. On 20 September 1777, sitting in a coffee house, Dr Samuel Johnson said of life “No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life”. I’m sure Good Ol’ Doc Johnson was talking about any metropolitain area, but, frankly, he had clearly never been to KBR. Who would swap pollution, crime and excessive stress for life at KBR? I’m tired of ‘London” but “life”? I think not.
Not only am I not tired of life, I want more of it: after all, where else do you get to see something like this……

So if you are indeed “tired of London”, disagree with Doc Johnson and want more of life – just not That kind of life, come to KBR. I’m sure we will put you close to something that will bring you far more delight than anything Johnson’s London had to offer……
