FIXED lol

Nice to see all the replies - not all students then.


I have been into a number of different things. I spent 5 years studing engineering (getting paid for 4 of them).

My fist job working for someone else was a plasitis welder fabricator in both sheet and pipe.

I then worked for a plistics extrusion company for a while but ended up to good for it.

I've been tinkering with Volvo's and LPG for years and that is what all my time goes to now.

I work in the largest car factory in the UK.
I hate it.
Everybody who works there hates it.
Did I mention that I hate it?

I'm a paediatric nurse looking after sick kiddies. I've been working in intensive care for about 7 years now. I also do quite a lot of critical care transport work.

Been on nights so my bodyclock is all shagged up...

Would love to become self employed - I have a problem with authority

I went for the start there yrs ago-didn't get one

Best thing that could of happened-know a lad who worked there-told me some bizarre things like if you halt the line what happens
He took a canny pay drop to get out but never regretted it-you have my sympathy even if you are a Mackem and your team's $hit
