Oh dear thats the last time I drink before logging on line, think I might have said too much already.... though possibly the worst/funniest experience (depends where your viewing it from), this was a while back and I was still in the forces, one of my clients (this was the first and last time I engaged this booking) was an older woman, out of my area as I was away on det for a few months, so I met her had a great night out very very fit for her age as following a divorce shed fleeced her ex and spent it pampering herself everything lifted and basically lived in the gym, anyway I digress, yeah it was a superb evening good food good company met up with her work colleagues works function an all that she was a PA for one of the execs.....clubbing watched the alcohol intake as always when on the job (fnarr fnarr).... back to "hers", unbelievable night which I'll not go into as its the wrong forum, woke up mid morning strolled downstairs and made the breakfast, loaded the tray then turned around to see a No1 uniform hanging in the dining room, oh ! thinking right shes still married and not come clean here, never mind hes not here so trotted upstairs with the tray, pics of the family on the staircase, oh another uniform this time of a young lad, ah well shes a little older so yeah she said she had kids, put the tray down, and gently woke my nights companion....anyway some time later back downstairs we got to talking over a coffee whilst she was putting her face on, and got round to her kids one daughter 10 years older than me and a son about 5 years older, ok so shes a little older than I thought, the daughter was doing well running her own shop some fashion boutique and her son was in the RAF and it was his house we were in....Ok so obviously hes based out of the area? oh if only life was that simple it turns out hes actually at the base I am currently staying he was doing a training course and was staying on base during the week due to the heavey workload.....Oh bugger nevermind its not as though shes gonna broadcast the fact shed hired someone for the night, anyway after she dropped me off at the camp gates I walked back to the barracks to hear a shout from an old friend so we walked and talked had a bit of a laugh..... well to cut a long story short by the end of the week I had an irate son trying to hunt me down, I'd acquired a new nickname Mother fucker, i was the talk of the camp, I was being quized by the RAF police and admin and I had a shit load of enquiries through the agency....It turns out my mate had blabbed, she'd been gassing away to all her mates at work and the gym and to top it off she told her son and daughter and her ex.....

i dont think anything will top that, its funny haha/weird whatever way you look at it. I did laugh out really loud :lol:

had to install a blanking plate on an outlet INSIDE one of the full sludge tanks in twickenham sewage farm when i first started out. Worst job i ever did but got 'time and a turd' after 8 hours.

worked on a friends farm and i fell in to the slurry pit up to my neck after being overcome by fumes, i was vomiting for two days after it awful experience but i was lucky the mixer wasn't running or i would have either been drowned or wrapped around PTO shaft.

I need to leave the beer alone before picking up the laptop...... Maybe when we finally meet up and partake in a few beers the details will emerge .... believe me it gets funnier/weirder .... When I arrived at a remote mountain site for a tour of duty there was a large banner on the Helipad " Welcome Mother Fucker"

Araon, looks like you and me may well be the same trade and of about the same era. Mayhaps I should do some digging on behalf of all the the EBers here! ;)
 
I work in sales for a small Polythene manufacturer. Not very exciting at all....But get to look hear most of the day (keeps me going)

thats Ace PMSL,

i got stripped from the waste down and nailed (by the boiler suit) to a 10 by 10 foot ply board and my nuts painted with creosote and hoisted in view of the motorway, i can see the funny side now.
 
I was crammed into a boiler suit and with a scaffold tube pushed through the arms was attached to the top of the scaffolding overlooking Bristol city centre when I was an apprentice. All for having a gobby attitude to the foreman. :roll:

The things that people got away with on sites years ago doesn't bear thinking about now.
 
I caught myself alight whilst up high in a cherry picker :oops:

Thankfully the boss saw the funny side an let me down... once the fire had gone out !! :lol:
 
:lol:

Me and my apprentice were working at high level in a factory.
As I lowered the platform the apprentice disappeared upwards. He hadn't released his safety harness from the roof truss.
He saw the funny side later...
 
Industrial/Product Designer with our own consultancy, so if anyone wants to go on Dragons Den with an idea, we can help! :msn4:
Worked on just about everything over the years - done loads of toy design. Great variety, so this week I am working on bird feeders, a new whisky bottle packaging and soem scientific instruments - going for a meeting at Lego in Denmark next week!

I do car cartoons on the side!

If anyone wants a link to our website....(not sure if thats allowed here!)
 
Short spell as Navy Oficer, 25 odd years with own classic car restoration business, now with small telecoms R&D company specialising in TAMs, Testheads & ADF. I do all the metal work and installation design. Basically the clever guys make it work and I make it fit the hole available!
Fortunately we're busy due to contracts with various European Telecom Companies so there's never enought time for van fixing...... I guess you can't have everything.
 
I'm a Manufacturing Specialist for a very small Caterpillar facilty. Once the engineers design a part (attachments in this case (buckets, couplers, forks, etc)) I figure out how our facility will build it. I design fixtures using ProE and write the "How-to" manuals so the shop guys all build each unit the same way.

i had some bad rock burns in my day :lol: ,

an ex GF fell asleep against a radiator after a session once, she woke up with part of her arm stuck to the metal after the heat came on in the middle of the night. It was a nasty burn that left a nasty scar, i thought it made her look hard.

The company is Fresenius Kabi, most people have never heard of them unless they work in parenteral nutrition or anaesthetics. Been working for FK for 18months and prior to that 3 years with Schering Plough. Primary care just got on my nips in the end, PCT constraints, apathetic GPs and jumped up receptionists! Liked working with practice nurses though.
