Skin of mi teeth

Crickey I feel a lucky sod at the moment. I started a new job several weeks ago. Just found out my old company ceased trading today. Got out by the skin of my teeth

Wow, thats really lucky, well done, I hope the new job is working out okay....

jims-terrano · 19-10-2017, 17:27

New job is really great and more money too. Get to look at and occasionally play with some nice toys too.

Bloody hell! That was a close call.

Buy a lottery ticket, now!

Just in time then Jim.

My Missus had a similar thing when she worked for Condor Steel Head Office at Egginton Junction near Hilton - she left for a better position and whole Head Office shut down followed a few years later by the demise of Condor Steel.

You get to play with that! wow, Rick

Actually I was due to go up in that at lunchtime that day but they got called out. Then the following monday and we had high winds. I need to rearrange a lift, 102 foot lift

There’s plenty time, the drill yard is just been refurbished but after that’s complete I’ll be asking to go in the smoke house with a BA set. Apparently you just ask and it happens. With a bit of luck in the new year I’ll be spending sometime with the Comms engineers when they’re fitting out some new appliances. Happy days

Jim likes playing on the firemens pole the best

jims-terrano · 19-10-2017, 21:56

Guilty, I played with two firemans poles in that place and they’re not as smooth as I thought

johnb5177 · 19-10-2017, 22:36

Great toys....
