Just saw this offer in The Sun newspaper, but it runs out soon so you better hurry! http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/fun/competitions/promotions/article829181.ece 2 free tickets to Alton Towers

Blue skies and frosty grounds, and also an arctic wind blowing! I had to work outside on some scaffolding all day, would have been nice in the sun, but noooo, we had to be stuck working in the shade! In a wind tunnel!

Terry Pratchett - Making Money Audio book, very long...

I went to see the Red Bull Air Race when it was in London last year, and they were handing out cans and cans of this stuff! It does taste good, but there is soo much sugar in it, it hurts your teeth just to drink it Plus, the ringpulls have a funky red bull logo stamped into them

Argh I hate American Drama's, they go on for so long.... plus they charge more for the DVD's. Currently I am working my way through House Season 1-4, after just working my way through CSI Vegas 1-8 (I need to get out more...) What has stolen all of your time recently in the TV/DVD watching ways?

Does this herald the start of what is laughably known as British Summer Time? We lose an hour of sleep, and it will still be raining, and cold, and crap...

Yes, only if I got paid to not be in, and the game didn't cost too much Would you spend a day as a cat?

I was up in the highest village and the highest primary school in the country earlier, Flash! (woah, Saviour of the universe......)

It's Cold, Its Raining, It's Dark. It's Horrible

Soon the time will match the number of pages on this thread, 1100... and then I shall eat food an hour afterwards, wo0p

Monday 2nd of march, a nice, clear frosty morning greeted me. So I hope on my bike, nicknamed 'The Hulkster' because of it's colours, as you'll see in a sec. A nice fresh morning, which is a very rare thing around here! See the sun and the frost. It makes me a happy fish Behold the HULKSTER! Hulkamania is still running wild! (ok, the bike was cheap and suits my needs, the fact that it is yellow and red is just a bonus) You can just about see some horrible person has gone and chained him to a drainpipe.... Gratuitous advertising from my work mates second job there.... The seat of the mighty SLT! ok, its an ugly old boring building behind a primary school, not the glamourous setting that most people think of with a (semi) Hi-Tech I.T. company... The mighty chariot awaits! I spend more time in that van than in my bed, it seems. I worked out that in a 3 month period, I spent a total of one whole week sitting in the van, traveling and taking breaks. I could think of better places... First up, some ROAD! look, its got lines and everything, and its still sunny, woo Ok, first school, first job. Isn't that cab pretty? ok, its pretty much a mess, but again, I have seen worse. TO THE SPLICER!! His name is Sumi, and he is very Orange VEERRYYY Orange Told you he was Orange... Fibre optic cable is very small.... VERY small. the bit you can see is a massive 125um thick (thats micrometres) The inside core is a tiny tiny tiny 50um (too small to see with my fishy eye Thats what this is for, it shows you things, tiny things... Tiny tiny things... This is where the 'magic' happens... Before Splice... After a blinding flash... VIOLA! SPLICED FIBRE!! isn't it all pretty? ok, one end done (4 cores), round to the other end, same old stuff.. But then I found THIS! That is one scary donkey... But the classroom had a sand pit, so I was happy Job one done, back into the chariot, and off for the next job! The mecca of a brand new LIDL! only open a week! Healthy lunch.... (Lidl don't sell cheese bread, so I revoke their mecca status...) Remember me saying that I spent a lot of time in the van? and Just white tape and a blade (Look how neat it is ) 2ND JOB! I hate it when people do this, not leave enough space at the top for a fibre patch panel, grumble grumble grumble, have to drop them all down I hate cage nuts.... They hurt my fingers and refuse to go in! and also, refuse to come out again afterwards... Now Racksnaps are a different thing, I like rack snaps, they snap in, they are spaced, and all is good. Although they don't come out again, pretty much ever.. Kevlar is evil, its yellow and stringy and super strong, and just gets EVERYWHERE! and sometimes it cuts you, because its BAD Kevlar... Here piggy piggy piggy... Fibre pig tails, cute little things the covers look like little piggy noses Everything involved with Fibre is over-priced. this is just a cleaver, cuts the glass perpendicularly for a cleaner splice (£600) And that is over the top, a fibre backbone link and a big switch, just for 2 points in a Nursery. Very over the top. Can't help being childish with the name of this school (snigger snigger) Smelly boots Smelly (nice) van All work is done now, all is good, HOME TIME!!! The Staring (Starring?) Owl watches me leave... Well I hop you enjoyed a day in the life of a fish! (I think this took me longer to type out than it does to terminate fibre, I like our new Sumi )

today the sky was blue and the sun warm. come the afternoon, it was grey and dark. and now its night time and its raining.....

Sitting in my bath, hoping the steam won't kill this tablet.... p.s. tablet pc's are fun:)

Mine is bimbounit, but I'm not on there that often, and I mainly play gears 2 or Rainbow 6 2....

Petrol is now about 89p a litre, Diesel at about 98p a litre. Before Christmas, fuel was about £1.20 for petrol, and £1.30 ish for Diesel Robbing UK government people.... grumble grumble....

Beyond All Reason - December sometime... They were good, but I was too drunk to remember much and had to sit most of it out.....

Ok, last one is an old photo of me in my very red Alton Towers staff coat, and all the others are photoshopped versions of me done by various people... (its at the end, not the start because I'm not used to this forum style Me in the rain and wind Mmmmm, Fish precious The REAL me TO MORDORR!!!!!!

Air at Alton Towers, big queues when I went, lots of hype, and the ride was a lot of fun. Second time, it was kinda good, but still the long lines, and the hype was annoying. Then I worked on the ride... it just got boring....

Alton Towers and Drayton Manor are about 30 mins away from me

some things just don't work sometimes..

if you cannot see a point, then you do not understand..... its all about fun

nothing compared to Stevie Y! plus, he's kick that sam dudes arse....

Stay away from toilets! Toilets, learn when you are young

This one didn't make it to 11...

(off topic... how do you put your photo's into that box? I'm new here and not used to this forum's way of working )
