Sideshowdave, got to agree about Teeside, but chatting to someone at the Construction Centre at Scunny i thought you were getting your own round of redundancies about now?
Used to work at Tewkesbury until a month ago, currently clearing the site before total shut down. Currrently working at Shotton until end february to get more money, part of me says stay with it i enjoy the job! part of me says how much of Corus will be around in 5 years. Ignoring the fact that it will be officially rebranded next year as Tata so i hear.

Nacho, it is fantastic. I have heard there might be a bit of a stall on recruitment this time (it's usually every six months I think) but keep checking it out. Do you have a science based degree at all?

I got my first ever company car yesterday - I was so excited I nearly popped!!

almost 3 months shy of 43, and to be honest, I'm not entirely certain.

It's loosely related to the construction industry or property development, but if any clairvoyants among you get a vibe about what my ideal career choice (for job satisfaction and soul-happiness, over financial wealth) might be, please let me know.

This thread is dull.

I'm 41 and statistically that means I have done:-
22,500 litres of farts
5.2 tons of pooh over 103 days

I've sexually thrust over 100miles and masturbated for 155 days creating 28litres of money shot from a 3.5day orgasm.

Top that!
