Just a quick linnk to where I used to w*rk before I gave up the day job
----------------------------------------http://www.ukaea.org.uk/downloads/misc/Winfrith_A59_factsheet.pdf My job title was 'assistant health physics surveyor' A59 had two suites of cave lines, which were used to remotely examine the spent fuel. The north cave line originally had five caves, this was later increased to seven caves, the south cave line had three caves. Both cave lines had zinc bromide solutionfilled windows and master-slave manipulators, with in-cave hoists and 1.52m (5ft) thick concrete walls.A59 had two suites of cave lines, which were used to remotely examine the spent fuel.

I've been in those caves  Reminder to self 'stop posting when your p!ssed' [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Aug 18, 2007 11:11:35 PM] |

Saw Johns post on adding the avatar, just don't know what to do. Partsman, adding a pic to your sig is relatively easy. Go to your profile (you need to be logged in to access it), then choose "Change my signature" in the menu. Copy and paste the URL of the pic you want to use and enclose it in the image tags. It'll look like this... (img)URL of your pic(/img) The brackets around the img and /img need to be the square ones. If you need a hosting site, let us know. There are many free ones out there.

Ted who is acpartsand at the end ... A friend of Damons' who is not now joining us due to computer breaking down. Problem is, once they have joined up I cannot remove the name - i.e - clean up the lists. Good morning everyone! |

Good morning Chickadee's pleased to see everyone in fairly good fettle. Den, thanks for the call, did you get my E mail?, I won't be around that day I'll be soaking up the sunshine in Cyprus, my body needs a rest from this persistent rain, (and Daughters), I'm starting to suffer from SAD syndrome, snapping at everyone around me!.  The pressures on at work too, I'm being tested for an ISO (Areospace spec') on Wednesday, just hope the 'grey matter' don't turn to jelly!  Company is depending on me to get it right!!, only satisfaction is that I'm not alone on this, even the top management are tested.Enough ranting; have a great day all.

Holiday Dreams
Dream of an ice-cream Tall as a mountain Shot through with strawberries And chocolate chips Dream of a pool With a lemonade fountain Soda pop whirlpool And cool Pepsi dips Dream of a beach With sand-golden honey Lollipop sunshades And Liquorice caves Dream you will be there Tomorrow, by sunset, Paddling your toes In champagne waves. |

Evening all
Rain pretty well all day even though they managed just enough time at Lord's to let Durham get their very first trophy. I enjoyed the play yesterday but was a bit late back so didn't find time to pop in and say hello. |
