What is your occupation?

Wood Borer...

I don't think there is a hiden meaning behind the Red/Blue lights. They used to be all blue but found that the red was easier to see during the day. Probably spent tens of thousands of dollars for a scientist type to do an encyclopaedia size report telling them what they could see with their own eyes.

Toggy,

Good to see another Goulburn Valley resident on the board. Does the saying, "Five litre, five speed, life is complete" mean anything to you? Or did I get your handle wrong?

Gooday.

Better watch it now folks, they are talikng in code.

As for the lights in SA. They didn't read the instructions right.

Unless all else failed, they wouldn't have even read them.

[Toggy]

Nah ,

The sand blew in their eyes and they got the instructions mixed up.
And be worried about the code; be very worried.

DanP, You shouldn't really be talking about my handle like that. The great white poobar will start bleeping things out.
If you are talking about modern day tin plate with disco lights; I much preferred the good old 351 GT's. I'm an old p-hart now.
If you are asking if I was in the job; yes. Now I've got all upset at the thought. I'll just have to have a few ports so I can sleep tonight.

I know of the remains of a nice bit of red sheoak up that way. Must check it out 1 quiet day. Some poor blighter might run off the road and hit it.

Danp and Ken (oops Toggy )
Geez sounds like an old reunion p*ssup to me - only I belong to another state.
Same feelings and same sentiments. I spent 25 years of hell and now enjoying my retirement like there is no tomorrow. Would I do it again??? Now - a definite NO !!!!!
Yesteryear a possible maybe.
I have met some great people (and many proctologists clients too I might add but too many of them to mention) and made some great friends throughout my time.
BSRLee I think we may have something in common also. Does 138 of '74 sound familiar???
My biggest quandry now is where to spend most of my time in the shed or with my new 3 month old grandson - at the moment he wins out hands down and takes pride of place. But then he will learn the ropes too over time and join his BigPop in the shed I s'pose.

[Toggy]

Bigpete,

If we keep going we will outnumber the geeks. It's not hard to see where the hard work is. They are still raking in big bucks and most of us are vegetating. Ah, the life of a cabbage isn't too bad though. As too the p*ssup; DanP's only a young fella. Wouldn't do to teach him bad ways.


Ken

[BigPop]

Toggy,
I agree plus the life of a cabbage ain't too bad ey.
The hardest part is working our what to do next as each day unfolds - my new 3 month old grandson is keeping me busy at the moment but no doubt I will be teaching him the 'rounds of the shed' in the not too distant future. Guess he'll know where 'The Fridge' is at least something his Grandma don't know and sometimes methinks don't want to know.

[Toggy]

Bigpete

I don't have any trouble filling my time in; mind you the speed is not as quick as it used to be.

I had to choose my words carefully for DanP. Didn't want to use the c........ word in light of the crooks in Melbourne going down. He's got a rep to uphold still.

The state line didn't make much difference to me as had a NSW special badge. DanP probably is the same being on a border station. Anyway all that was in another life.

As for the lights in SA. They didn't read the instructions right.

maybe its because they know that victorians are backwards and so reversed their direction working on this theory???

Ian

[Richie]

Hi all,

been lurking for a while now, researching tools etc, wanting to get into woodworking...

Anyway, thought I'd post to wave the flag some more for the coppers.

I'm 29 and have done 6.5 years of my sentence. I've been doing time in the CIB for the last 2 years or so.

I like it, but the workload gets you down sometimes.

I never worked out what I wanted to do after school. I did some time a Uni studying for a Science degree, but it didn't really hold my interest (didn't finish it). I quit and started looking for jobs. I'd always thought that being a Detective would be a good job (investigating serious crimes and all that), but I'd never equated it with joing the police. I suppose that's my path down the dark side.

Hi Rich

Welcome to the BB, some of these guys have a weird sense of humour, but they are pretty harmless.

Do you have a deer stalker hat and a big curly pipe?

Al

[Richie]

Yes. Of course I do!

[DanP]

Wow, a defective! Now I feel humbled.

Welcome to the board,

Dan

1. Freelance insurance consultant (no not a sales man) I’m really a risk manager and look at businesses from a risk point of view (but not for much longer see another thread)

2 I hate it, this is crazy I’m told as it is really good money for old rope and I really only work 2 days a week. Having that much time on my hands means I get in to mischief a lot though. People reckon I have ADHD (at age 40) as I seem to change jobs/industry and direction every 3-4 years. I think they are probably right.

3 I think I dislike the insurance industry because people are so conservative (when you say you do practical things for a hobby they look puzzled), and lets face it when an insurance guy phones you for an appointment and it’s not resulting from a claim you’ve just made he isn’t the most welcome visitor, one of my colleges has done this job for nearly 20 years though and has no inclination to change. I’m in my 3rd year and stir crazy.

I won’t bore you with the list of my past businesses and jobs but it’s long.

Cheers Dave
