[Asa-James]

One of my work colleagues just now (snapped spring on a 406)

Enter the grinder to chop the spring up a bit...

"Oops, needs a flexi now..."

[Asa-James]

[mowgli]

i once sent a nova into a garage to have a set of braided hoses on, and the prats ordered some car bar specials & fitted them... when the new ones i'd supplied were on the passenger seat!!!! cos i'd forgotten them.

[Jeff16v]

Had a meeting with my boss and I'm getting a deputy as we are taking over another hospital, managing staff should get me a rebanding.

Maybe I'll treat myself by booking off my first Friday in two years.

[Asa-James]

its the mother fluffing weekend!

[turbojolt]

training??? training?? just how difficult is it to say 'would you like fries with that' & 'please pay at the first window'?

you know how many people had to do media or photography studys in uni to work in mcdonalds?

[mowgli]

erm.... all of them??

[turbojolt]

[brainsnova]

Got some plectrums so I can practice crazy train with one as I can play the into and chords with my fingers but that's not right

[Spudly]

Need a new headlight as this one has no clips on hence I got it for free. Will do for this week. Not sure what to do with bumper as managed to pop the dent out with help from a heat gun so looks like it would paint up ok. Bumpers are ridiculously expensive second hand.

At least I've saved it from being written off.

[meritlover]

goodcwork. its disgusting how a perfectly good car can be written off for the sake for a couple hundered pounds and an afternoons work.

[Spudly]

Picked up my new bus this evening, i now have three cars, damnit lol

[Asa-James]

realising my old cavalier isnt far off the pace of a corsa c SRi

[Keif]

realising my old cavalier isnt far off the pace of a corsa c SRi

1.4 SRi? 90BHP!

[millworm]

Took my car into work today to look at the brakes (ended up bleeding them as the build in them was black), while it was on the ramp I had a poke around underneath an was actually surprised at how clean it was having never looked before.

[Asa-James]

1.8, with a bad boi zorst

[turbojolt]

for the first time in my life i have two company's that want me to work for them!!

got marsons that want me to be a bailiff and npower who want me to do my old job as a meter fitter for them, torn between them and dont really know what to do tbh, normally i just take the first job on offer, as i cant be picky having no real formal qualifications, so its left me at a bit of a lose end really very strange feeling lol

[Andy]

Fukk debt collecting.
i wouldnt like to do it for the simple reason as if i had a door opened to me by somebody like me lol

[turbojolt]

whats the worse thats going to happen if someone hits me i will hit them back lol, i really want to try it out just to put my hands to something new, as i still dont think ive found a job i want to do for years and years

i like dealing with customers but dont want to do anything to retail based, ive applied for some car sales jobs but heared nothing, I'm just wondering if my ideas of metering are tainted by the way i was treated at British Gas :/


is it really bad that im 25 next week and still not found what i want to do?

[Mike]

Stick to what you know best IMO.

Fcuk being a debt collector, espcially where I live lol lol

[Andy]

You hit them back,you lose your job,and probably go to prison.
Hey it took me til 26 to find what i wanted to do,im back at college lol

[Mike]

All I want to do is play with cars lol lol lol

Other then that, Id shovel shÃ*t if it paid enough so I could play with cars!

[turbojolt]

npower are offering 22.5k a year which is alright money, but i dont want to be stuck in a dead end job forever, the only job i have done and injoyed was landscaping, but then when i talk to people they remind me all i did when doing that was moan about how **** it was lol

[Mike]

22.5k aint nowt to be sniffed at TBF.

Still about £1500ish a month take home. And I doubt youd get that as a landscape gardener in this climate :/

[mowgli]

they just changed the laws governing debt collection.. its more difficult to get the money.

there are 2 sorts of debt

managed & not a chance in hell of getting the money...

building/landscaping is not going to be much good for a couple of years, people will always need power supplies

[turbojolt]

thats what im thinking and thats before bonuses aswell, not bad for a guy that left school with fook all lol

[Edd]

I'd be on the phone first thing in the morning to nPower mate

You know what the job is and it will be reliable income

[Andy]

I cant even believe you have to consider pulling up fukking weeds or knocking on doors asking for money like some cardboard gangster.
Its a no brainer! lol

[mowgli]

my brother left school with nowt, got a job on a farm ready for when he left, did day release at local college, then 1 year at agric college. he has a 61 reg big rangerover & has run his own business since '88. he still is a farmer at heart, but only has 30 acres...

ps. the 'a team' tree splitter was in use today....lol

[Mike]

I'd be on the phone first thing in the morning to nPower mate

You know what the job is and it will be reliable income

This.

Holiday pay an all, none of that lark if your self employed landscaper either lol

[mowgli]

our groundwork part of the business is busy, but we did cut the staff back over the last couple of years..

oddly enough, after the biblical weather we've had, we are building all weather horse arenas.. we have a reputation that if we can't drain it, its cos it can't be drained..

but we don't do very much domestic these days

[turbojolt]

i will be giving npower a call tomorrow, not because of you lot of wrongens, but my mummy agrees with a lot of what your saying, my bird is happy for me to do what ever as long as i dont get as depressed as i did working for bg lol


i just need to get my head around that 22k is properly more then i would earn in any other field! and more then people i know that sat all there exams and went to uni, i dont see myself ever becoming a manager for one of these big companys as i cant brown nose people, if im asked for my opnion i will give it to people straight and thats were my downfall working for other people is i cant lie lol

[mowgli]

tj, with age comes the ability to shut the hell up at the right time..

[John]

tj, with age comes the ability to shut the hell up at the right time..

lol so true

[Andy]

tj, with age comes the ability to shut the hell up at the right time..
I used to be every employers worst nightmare,always knew the rights and wrongs and H&S etc.
Always answered back and challenged,rolled round brawling with other employees,threatened bosses etc.
Now im a yes man.Took me long enough to swallow my pride.
Remember-Pride doesnt pay your fukking bills my friend!

[Hobbit]

Pay day. :wisewood: the 150 hours overtime I did in January now seems worth it.

[Southie]

Pay day. :wisewood: the 150 hours overtime I did in January now seems worth it.

That's some serious overtime :eek:

[Hobbit]

Yeah, pretty much doing 2 peoples hours. lol

[paul080803]

My best mate is a bailiff. He earns £30-£35k a year. However he has the temperament for it! Hours are crap too, people treat you like scum and are trying to provoke you the whole time.

From what you have said TJ on this topic and previously you don't!!! No offence meant just my opinion, I wouldn't last a week either lol!

You have to go to court and ask for a licence, if you have any drug or violence convictions your almost certainly won't get one. If you hit somebody just once your licence will be revoked.

Take the job with npower!

[Spudly]

Fixed a few more niggly bits on the combo today, got some seat covers to hide the recaro's and fixed the reverse light too :d

[Andy]

Tonight i will have done a whole month off beer.

Wires will be corroded at the pdi lol

[Novasport]

Had a few 207's syphoning screenwash out of the bottle through the pump and up the wiring into the ECU. Turns everything green & fury, only the French(And maybe the Italians) could build a car that does that lol

[Andy]

Theyre unbelievable lol

[Novasport]

On some of the 2.0HDi's, they made the engine looms too short so the wires break after a while.

[brainsnova]

They should stick to cooking

[mowgli]

When I walked up the road with my new guitar it was a pretty steep hill and after 100 metres I was ****ed lol
please be more specific...

did:
1. you simply decide for some strange reason to take a guitar for a walk up a hill & were physically drained by it
or
2. you walked up a hill with your guitar & a girl had sex with you???

[brownbear]

3. You fell backwards onto the guitar after 100m due to exhaustion and was instrumentally raped in a familiar fashion to the girl from band camp was with a flute?

Nice,well done,how did you find out about that?

Through a friend of mine. He applied for it as well... Didn't say how many positions are available... lollol could be an interesting time!

There are a few online tests... Not such a problem... Usual literacy and numeracy bull. However... Proper weird one... Logic testing... Had to input what I thought was the correct symbol in a table of other similar symbols... Weird as fcuk bearing in mind I'm trying to become a mechanic and none of this kind of stuff appeared when I was at college doing that! lollol
