I'm going to be an apprentice at Esso (or ExxonChemical) at Fawley as an instrumentation engineer. Managed to pass the alcohol test too  The equipment must be wrong  I get my GCSE results in 10 days... I'm getting nervous! Need another beer to calm me down......  |

All this reminds me of a dunder headed plonker I used to work with. I've nothing against big headed simpletons usually but this bloke was objectionable with it. We were sending a delivery of components up to Aberdeen for an oil rig and they needed to be there pronto. Someone told the dunderhead that to avoid customs checks on the Scottish border, the lorry would be allowed straight through Customs if it had a tartan band painted around the bodywork. So the buffoon was dispatched post haste to the hardware shop round the corner with a fiver out of petty cash and instructions to purchase a tin of tartan paint. And to make it snappy. Five minutes later, he came running back into the yard, red in the face and puffed out. He went up to the foreman, who was also his chief tormentor, and asked "What clan do you want?" |

PS One of our LM gang is a welder on Fawley, so God help you.
He told me Esso stands for Eat Sleep sh*t and Overtime.

A friend was sent by his instructor to get an Inclinometre, he told the guy to f**k off if he thought that he was born yesterday. He then marched him to stores with him for the item. My friend then looked real stupid when the storeman produced the item !

Hey Russ that is not a lefthanded screwdriver at all it is an "nwodedispU" Robertson for size 3 & 4. Mr Robertson was a CANADIAN Inventor and those are quite common over here. I am glad to see the elbow grease comes in small size too Canada Phil |
