Don't Tell Mum I Work on the Rigs

Strap yourself in for an exhilarating, crazed, sometimes terrifying, usually bloody funny ride through one man's adventures in the oil trade.

Best seller in Australia with extensive media coverage.

A 'take no prisoners' approach to life has seen Paul Carter heading to some of the world's most remote, wild and dangerous places as a contractor in the oil business. Amazingly, he's survived (so far) to tell these stories from the edge of civilization, and reason. Taking postings in some of the world's wildest and most remote regions, not to mention some of the roughest oil rigs on the planet, Paul has worked, gotten into trouble and been given serious talkings to in locations as far-flung as the North Sea, Middle East, Borneo and Tunisia, as exotic as Sumatera, Vietnam and Thailand, and as flat out dangerous as Columbia, Nigeria and Russia, with some of the maddest, baddest and strangest people you could ever hope not to meet.

laugh until it hurt

Very funny book, really easy to listen too. I recommend. Worth taking the time to listen to this.

Carter is the man!

One of the funniest books I have read in ages. Was listening whilst driving in my car and at one stage literally had to pull over cause I was laughing so hard!

Great life Paully! Loved the Migget on the velcro wall story, awesome!

Funniest book ever!

This book is hilarious. My mum had heard Paul Carter read exerpts of this book live and had said how good he was. I thought "yeah, yeah", but she was right. I had people looking at me strangely on the train because I kept laughing out loud. Not only is the book itself very well written with really funny with stories most people couldn't even make up, Paul is an excellent reader and puts on voices and accents to portray the characters and does this really well. Because he wrote it, he reads it with a familiarity that makes the story flow and sound like he's telling you his latest escapades over a beer. Seriously recommend this book.
