Quote from: "nzsimon"I live in the best country in the world with 2 cats and a shed that is never big enough

Hmmmm, how can this be when that's where I live?  Have you moved from that shakey little island off the easy coast of "Godzonecountry"?

Although you're welcome to the two bloody cats!   :wink:

On another note, I haven't forgotten about the tailamps.  Just having trouble locating a pair.  However, when I do, I think we can do a deal.  How's a straight swap sound... one 1959 Fender Strat for the lamps.   :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'm a professional 'Knowitall'. or as my job description calls it, a 'Smartarse'.

I'm expected to know everything there is to know, about everything my company does in order to ensure that everybody who needs to know anything, is taught everything they need to know.

To do that, I must become completely intimate with every detail of each product.  Thus I'm involved in some small way fom concept or inception thru the design, engineering and testing processes to manufacturing, marketing and and maintenance until the end of its life.  I also must have a very good knowledge of our competitors products and how they comapre with our own, thus I have to spend much time evaluating and comparing all of them.  Like Choco and others here, I too have authored and published a number of books on behalf of my employer and annually I produce volumes of printed, video and or multi media based material dealing with each product in detail.

My 'company vehicle' is usually provided by Boeing, although I often clock up a few hundred thousand ks each year at the wheel of various motor vehicles.

My job requires me to speak with authority and confidence to groups of people ranging from 30 to 500 at a time, a task I actually relish for some strange reason.  My strength is the ability to descibe each and every feature of any given product in detail, explaining in layman's terms what it is, what it does, and what that means to the end user.  I can also demonstrate & descibe how it's made and show you how to diagnose problems and repair it in the highly unlikely event something goes wrong with it.

Even tho my job can sometimes be very frustrating and it often keeps me away from home for extended periods, I'm nowhere near old enough to be considering retirement and even if I was, I can't imagine not getting up each morning and cursing the fact I have to be leaving for 'the office'.  Fact is, for a bloke like me, I really do have the best job in the world.  Sometimes I even have to pinch myself to make sure it's not a dream that I'm getting paid a large sum of money for having more fun than one can have without getting nekkid with a member of the opposite s*x.

Quote from: "Pep"I've seen a lot of changes in that time...I remember seeing the last morse code message being sent from the Sydney GPO around 1969..

Hey Pep, I've got one of the machines that did the same thing in the Melbourne Telegraph Office which was located in a bluestone building in Little Bourke St. behind the GPO and also closed around 1969.  It still works great although the wires are a little frayed and the battery is flat.
