Baitrunner Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Just looking at some of his other stuff - he is bonkers. I don't know how he gets away with it if he is married? I was more jealous of all the tools he gets to use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonRascal Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 The best part is he is no trained engineer - I think he was a plumber and got into making things and tinkering, then You Tube and the rest was history. His bunker under his back garden was paid for by Sky as an example. He is clearly living the dream, goodness knows what the neighbours think and someone who may purchase his property in future will be in for a surprise 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 At one time a failed electrician would go into plumbing. These days you could train monkeys to do it Regards Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Back in the 80's we employed sparkies as IT Techies as there were none around. Doesn't say much for IT people either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baitrunner Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 It's funny how you "webbies" think all those bits and bytes get around in thin air? Even your wireless relies on a wire and a switch at some point. Oh and while we are at removing all your connectivity, we will take your servers away as well Don't get me started you smarty pants, webbie, Admin boys No doubt Alan will be along soon to back you up(we need a fisty cuffs imoji) Ah it's good to see we all get along and play nicely though It's the Apps boys that think they are God - even you "Webbies" are dinosaurs now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baitrunner Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Oh Jonzo, we should maybe have our own thread - AWS that panacea for everything - and often nothing I would love to share some of the stuff we have been looking at and how "cost effective" it ISNT!! OK, no more trashing Amazon or they wont invest in Britain (sorry mods - almost getting political) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 we had a girl working for us once - her previous post had been on an IT helpdesk. this girl admitted to washing up the toaster and kettle with the rest of the washing up, but did keep the plugs out of the water. she also believed that the photocopier could talk to her (when I was connecting via its IP address and posting messages up on its screen) and called over work colleagues to show them.
