What do you find yourself avoiding more as you get older?

[warey4life]

What is it that you do? (If you dont mind me asking) I'll brace myself....

BMS engineer. No one ever knows what BMS is.

 

[warey4life]

He said before that he worked on a council tip.

I don't work on a council tip, but if I did, it would be nothing to be embarrassed about.

I put some supplies in a factory for a BMS engineer the once, something to do with heating if I remember correctly?

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning control systems.

That's HVAC, BMS is Building management systems. I used to program BMS systems with Trend. A centralised computer based system that is networked to bring all of large building systems under one set of controls, heating, lighting etc.

It was you who said about it in a thread some time ago, you said you worked on a waste management site, in other words a tip.. Nothing wrong with that at all.

Pete can often be found tatting at council tips and other land fill sites. He considers himself as waste management, he may be a tatter but he is our tatter.

To be fair I do love tatting, I remember one job they asked me to take out some redundant 95mm cable...loads of it, they even paid me Saturday and Sunday to do it.

Nothing like a bit of free cash.

You can imagine the scrap that we get from highways, all big stuff too, 95mm and 25mm 5 core is our norm, we go on holiday a couple of times a year from it.

They let you have the scrap then? Some places dont let you have it now....its strange a bit of cable on the floor and everyone comes out the woodwork

We have 6 skips at work in our yard for the scrap. Most goes into them but some finds its way into the back of our vans.

It was known as 'tooting' (toot - rhymes with soot/foot), when I was growing up.

 

[Diver Fred]

Was going to say - S, D, R&R






But I still like sex,
my drug of choice is still the effect of Nitrogen under pressure (& a sensible quantity of alcohol)
and I've never stopped liking Rock 'n' Roll


so I don't think I'm avoiding anything just participating with forethought.

I avoid the toffee sweets in a tin of quality street. Guaranteed to pull a filling out.
