Friday night
 

What's everyone doing with their friday night?
I'm sat in on my own, everyone's out and the student loan company seem to think I'm not allowed any money for another couple of weeks. :wall:

Just wanted a bit of a rant really but feel free to keep me company if you're in the same / similar boat.

been painting walls a lovely white colour. There's loads of wall and ceiling but now it's done and it time for a drop of alcohol.

You are not alone :rock:

Catching up on TV I missed last night.

Just watching "An idiot abroad"!

Superb!


Then Celebrity Juiced!

Watching New Tricks

Nice to know I'm not alone :D

I might have to watch An Idiot abroad in a bit, I forgot a new one came on last night. As much as I don't really like Gervais, Carl is amazing.

On here..




..

Dexter double-bill starting now.

Which season you on?

Just got off work, flogged as we spent the day cleaning the workshop set to stern.
Stopped at the fav pub for a tall glass of Ayinger Weiss beer, and now I'm home waiting for my baby and considering dinner plans.

Tommorow we take delivery of a spare 1989 Volvo 780 Bertone. This car is going to be a donor car to improve her white 780 ( daily driver).

I do love a drop of cloudy german wheat beer :arf:. Audi and a Volvo? A man of impeccable taste all round I think :D

sat in a place called Newbridge in Ireland on work :(, just watched a movie called zombieland on my laptop

just thinking about the job i am doing and how i cannot wait for the next two weeks to go by so i can book up my honeymoon (i got married in april, luckily i have an understanding wife)

You know the worst part? I don't even have any beer :yikes:

I do have some of the old Sailor Jerry's but it seems a waste as the new stuff is crap and the old stuff fetches silly money now :shake:

Why can't we have daylight at night so I could at least wash my car or something? A garage would be nice.

Sampled a few ales earlier, chicken and stir fry supper and Robert Plant on BBC electric proms sounded great - wish we'd listen to all of it to be honest.

Oh and you are never alone on here fella :tup:

What did you think to Zombieland? Quite a good film I thought.

That's got to make time drag a bit, having that to look forward to!

to be honest mate i am doing 59 hour weeks when i would prefer to do at least 69 due to being away from home i prefer to work while i am there not spend the weekends/evenings milling about , its pants, but luckily i only have 2 weeks to go

i thought the film was quite good actually, pretty funny, and OMG the chick is soooooo hot, shes the one out of superbad!

3rd bottle of London Porter is going a treat!

I know what you mean, when I did my year in industry I did a few months of working away from home (home was newcastle, working near salsibury). 10 days on (12 hours a day), 4 days back up north. Hard work but on the odd days we finished early I didn't know what to do with myself lol.

It was actually the most enjoyable part of the year work-wise though, got to play with and maintain tanks all day :rock:

And yes, I agree, she is very hot!

uber hot!!!

i dont mind working away at all as i can earn more in a week than what i normally earn in a month, its just THIS job i am currently doing, the whole thing is a complete shambles and my workload is WAY to much ,

I do welding/coating & ultrasonic inspection, at the moment its gas mains i am working on

Yeah my pay trebled, which was nice.

I worked for BAE Systems, a lad I worked with in manufacturing was looking into ultrasonic / x-ray inspection in the last few weeks of manufacturing before my next placement, I found it all pretty interesting.

Is that 780 a 2 door version of the 760??? Vaguely remember them from the "Daily Express World Cars" magazine when I was about 14.

Pics please!

yes there is a lot of work in ultrasonics, especially in a new method called "phased Array" the money the technicians are commanding is mind blowing!

I wanted to get into welding before I started my degree, I heard welders on all the high tolerance stuff get paid a pretty penny too.

Been at work for 4 hours.

She looks just like this. White with the deepset 7x15 wheels and 2 tone blue leather seats.
Mild but very servicible Turbo.

I like them in blue. With the wheels on the white 780

pimptastic!!!!!!!!!

doing what?

Been designing more components and a dry sump kit, having a cheeky beer and watching a movie. 15mins till I tick over another year on this wonderful planet. Such an interesting life I lead! :lol:

Do you design components as a living or for your own cars? What you been designing in particular?

And happy birthday for in 5 minutes time :D

Was stocktaking at work until 9 o'clock. Cup of tea and a read of the newspaper. Now catching up on Ebay, Facebook and here. :tup:

My own cars but also for remanufacturing NLA parts..... Will be working in engineering/design in new job.

Cheers... old age beckons!

Season 4

just finished watching "The Ring" followed by the heavy metal program on bbc4.
Very dark night!
ps if you like metal its repeated again in a couple of hours

Exciting stuff, isn't it?!

I'm on season 5, I download them when they're aired in the US. I don't like having to wait for the next episode though!

no bloody workin as usual 9 till 7am in the morning just to pay f........ bills nothing else totally p....... off

yes they make over 100k a year working in the UK, double that abroad, theres a lot of work abroad if your willing to do the hours/long time between time off ,

its a single mans game really

Down to the Broadfield for The Carnival with the Woodseats Slap'eads.

Delivering shopping for Tescos.

I think I'm in the wrong game. How does one get into this line of work? Apprenticeship I presume?

just become a coded welded, the industry is VERY clicky with some people who are qualified bearly getting work, however once you get started its a nice number,

if you are good with the understanding of ultrasonics i would recommend doing phased array as that is the future of NDT (no distructive testing)
