You're working from home and bothered putting trousers on?  Hats off.

I have no sound reasoning for this, my bad. Rest assured, i will be naked from the waist down from now on. Apologies if that image has ruined your morning.

Working from home today (read watching tv and getting paid for it) and this little tyke is keeping my feet warm. Acers.

Beautiful amp! Sorely tempted.....

My parent's dog always find the muddiest, smelliest puddle to roll in, even when it's not been raining for a few days.

Why do they do that i wonder? It must be instinctual but i can't think of any situation in nature which would warrant covering yourself in shit. Maybe it's a dirty protest against the oppressive human dictatorship?

I took my better half's father's dog out for a walk on Saturday and she rolled in some fresh cow shit. Look how happy she is with her new stinky outfit.

I'm an electro / mechanical tech 1 at BHI at the moment. I'm starting to think I could have pushed for T2 in the interview but I was so desperate to get out of my old place I didn't want to rustle any jimmies.

 

Found out there will be a chance in the future to go offshore in this role. And there's so much overtime at the moment. I did an hour today. A whole hour. Going in early tomorrow too. Shit's so cash.

Do you reckon you'll go for the offshore work? You know you want be able to post on here through your shifts though, right?

Just doin' my best to promote the local scene.

Friday: Got caught up in the chaos at Heathrow coming back from Rome. Twas a nightmare.

Saturday/Sunday: Stayed in London for a stag do, it was acers. Visited comic-con whilst drunk as the stag used to be a geek. It was insane, i've never seen anything like it; i genuinely felt intimidated by the numbers of nerdos. Rippers after that and then on to a medieval banquet thing. All in all pure #ladz stuff.

The word "totes" and the phrase "totes amazeballs".

 

I have warned several friends recently that i  will disown them if they continue to use that phrase around me. What absolute fud nugget came up with that in the first place?

A totes amazeballs one?

Forward?

Pfft, waterboy maybe. At a push.

Not so much a ridiculous story but a ridiculous quote at the very end of the article.

Nahh, Baker Hughes. I do work. But a lot of it is watching and learning and copying at the moment. And courses. Free lunches. Shit's so cash.

What sort of role are you doing at BH?

I'm still hopelessly addicted to this stuff. Do you take requests or is that a bit cheeky? Ah fuck it, I'd really like to hear your take on Sorrow by Bowie...

If I wanted to be an ass about it, I'd say it is a bad mistake to make as the turbo(s) is/are located on the opposite side of the engine bay with the Skylines as per below:

 

 

Easy mistake though

 

As for the garage, sounds a good idea! Though I'd do the stuff myself most of the time, it is always handy having the option

Some major engine bay envy there! Im not well versed in Japanese car intake manifold locations so you'll have to forgive me

If you ever need some help on yer motor then get in touch, more than happy to get my hands on that new Supra of yours

Could you offer the same service for motorbikes?

I've never worked on a bike before so i'd be wary but having said that it's all the same engineering so i'd be more than happy to be a dogs body. If it explodes whilst you're riding it due to my error then i'll just have to leave the country.

I thought the Toyota badge on the spark plug cover may have been a give away... It is another Supra. But this time a VVTi 6 speed with a GReddy T88-34D single turbo setup. Sitting at about 650bhp at present. Lovely.

Damnit! I was so chuffed with my super knowledge of cars there as well.

On another note, im thinking of lending (for a small fee of course ) myself out for doing mechaniccy-type stuff that you can't be arsed doing yourself but don't want to put your car to a garage for. I've worked on so many cars, classics and modern, that im considering opening my own cherished/classic car garage in about 5 years time once i've got the dosh. Stuff like servicing, changing water pumps, radiators, alternators and even head gasket repairs would be right up my street. Would anyone consider using that service or do you reckon it's a no-goer?

Absolutely fine. 

 

I'd choose flying as a superpower. It'd be the most fun. Invisibility would be cool but maybe there's only so many conversations you could eavesdrop on before you got bored of it. Then again you could use the information to a) help the world and b) make mad bank. But you couldn't use the money to make yourself fly. Super strength would be good too (just think of leg day at the gym for example) but not on a daily basis - how often do you really need a lot of strength?

But how fast would you be able to go? Flying will always be cool but if you can only go at 30 miles per hour then it would defeat the purpose. I'd want to be able to go so fast that i can reach Australia in circa 1 hour flight time.
