I've never really worked out what it is, I really do.........and picktures are not really advised :lol: although I'm told that when I do what I do, when I do it ,people are usually very happy with the end result . Which still surprises me after all those years... :?: :thumbsup

Having looked at this thread and been around Victor long enough, I think I'm really lucky not to be stuck on a rig.. or in a office or have someone bark sh*t at me :evil: ..thankfully all that is behind me . :roll:

Although my day to day work is fasinating to most folk , it can still gets right up my nose from time to time..but I wouldent swap you ... :thumbsup

LOL! It's amazing what a difference it can make when you don't hate your boss...life is too short and all that.

I haven't told him this, obviously. :blackeye

I have a company that runs amusement arcades in holiday parks. Basically, if it lights up and takes money , I will supply it. This includes Gaming machines, video games, simulators, air hockey, pool tables, crane machines ( teddy grabbers), penny pushers, skill prize games, basketball games, football games etc.

The down side is that I never get to play the video games as often as you might think :cry:

Mostly by shouting at companies who don't make what they are contracted to as well as staring at bits of twisted metal to work out who to shout at...
Basically fault investigation for NATO Tornados.
