Have to cough like a guy when I go up local mountain everyday. I'm naturally fit if you know what I mean, always won everything in school sports and excelled at sports, but lungs burn every morning. Going to get acupuncture when I get back from holiday, have gum bought. Can't see myself surviving a week in Spain where it is 2 euro per pack of smokes. Nearly 10 euro here.

I feel ya. Had to quit cigars because I started smoking them like cigarettes. Inhaling, one after the other. Expensive as hell, too. Eventually, I couldn't catch my breath at the gym anymore.
So I switched to dip, which will kill me from the face down instead.

Story of how I started smoking is beyond retarded. I was studying to be a barrister and part of the tradition (it's a 400 year old institution and building) is having snuff after dining nights (formal nights where you dine with judges then go on the piss). Anyway, I got addicted to snuff from the few nights I had it.
One of the nights out we all had Cohibas. I had never smoked, not even one breath from a cigarette. Decided one night with a cuban cigar wouldn't cause me to go off the edge. Inhaled from the first breath, went to Spain on holidays bought loads, continued buying online, then in shops here. FML.

Nicotine is no joke. Our stories are very similar.

When I worked beside a judge I'd be slyly taking snuff in full view of the court. Ugh.

I have dipped at work for a decade now, every day, all day. Totally unacceptable at my workplace, is all I'll say. If they knew.

Back to the Catch, though. Is there a chick crew member this season? Because that might qualify as a crab-jumping event.

Had gf nagging at me so missed last 5 mins. She got train home from work (5min walk) asked if I'd been drinking. Had half bottle of wine. Said don't collect me. Then she complained asking why I didn't collect her? Women ::)

Man, Wild Bill is quite fat. And Elliot is a tool, surprised he landed the gig.

Enjoy watching your IQ drop 10-12 points as you watch this dreadful TV show. Vomit.

Show sucks. I will only watch it if there is absolutely nothing else on.
The guy who announces the show, I believe Mike Rowe, is such a drama queen. He is always exaggerating things. A guy slips and falls and he is like, "Wow, that could have been his life." A guy smashes his finger and hes all like, "That could have taken off his entire arm. He got lucky." ::) ::)
Not to mention all they do is smoke cigarettes. Then when half the crew is dying or getting sick, they wonder why. Morons.
Then they walk around and they think they are all bad by smoking cigarettes, cursing a lot, and acting like morons.
Then the get all pissy and act like drama queens when they are not catching anything. Then all happy, go lucky when they are catching. Its like watching a bunch of babies throw temper tantrums.

There's a guy with a serene Scottish voice who narrates it here. No sensationalism, he just narrates calmly.
I can imagine the buzz from getting a good haul, anyone who ever owned a small business and got a glut of orders enjoyed that buzz of a good day/week.
I watched Mythbusters with the US narration once, fuck me it was horrible. Treats the audience like retards at a circus. That could be the problem, American narration. BBC wildlife programmes kickass, watch them with US narration and editing (they cut the vicious killing) and it becomes suitable for people in a permanent vegetative state.

Not a huge fan, but I always wonder how long "a season" is when they say "each crew member made xxxx this season"

30-100k/8 weeks is my understanding. For working close to non stop.

I love how they call it the most dangerous job in the world ::) ::)
http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/27/pf/jobs/crab-fishing-dangerous-jobs/
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The nation's most dangerous job, fishing for Alaskan king crab, has not only gotten safer but it's gotten more profitable, too.
Commercial fishing has long topped the Bureau of Labor Statistics' list of jobs with the most fatalities -- and crabbing in the Alaskan waters is by far the most lethal form of fishing.
Thanks to new government rules, there has been only one death in the Alaskan crab fishery in the past six years -- a significant improvement from the 1990s which saw an average of 7.3 deaths a year, according to Edward Poulsen, director of the Alaska Bering Sea Crabbers.
The industry, which was made famous by the Discovery show "Deadliest Catch," no longer engages in "fishing derbies" where fishermen rush to fill their quotas in a few scant days.
"The gun went off and everyone scrambled," Poulsen said. "Some boats loaded too many crab pots and capsized. Others pushed their crews to work too long."
During the derbies, some boats could pull in hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of crab -- half their annual wage -- in a few days, while latecomers could come out with nothing. Everyone fished as fast as they could until the quota for the entire fleet was reached.
Most crabbing takes place in the unforgiving Bering Sea. Ice can coat boat decks, 700-pound cages being winched aboard can lurch and sweep workers overboard. Even in a survival suit, designed to provide insulation from cold water, death can come before help arrives. About 80% of crab fishery fatalities are from drowning.

But in 2006, a new catch-share (also called a quota-share) system was put in place by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council and the State of Alaska, which co-manage the fishery.
Each boat received its own quota to fill during the three-month season. The quotas can be bought, sold and even leased, so crab captains are able to acquire the shares of other boats.
With so many captains buying up other crabbers' quotas, the number of crab boats has shrunk to just over 60 from more than 250 at its peak and the boats now are mostly bigger -- and safer. Crabbers don't have to go out during storms or work on little-to-no sleep. If there's a storm or a mechanical problem, the catch waits.
