hehe you remember my embarrassingly clean engine bay? Well it doesn't cost much to clean, you just need time! (Thats pretty well the extent of what I've done so far although the auto -> manual is looking good in the next two months, just have to put it all in now )

I have to ask my wife for donations to MY project budget.
I'm envious of the guys working in sat diving in the North Sea. How'd you like to earn 30,000 POUNDS every 28 days worked. Mind you are locked in a steel tube with six other guys and working up to 400 meters down. Tax free of course as you are working outside territorial borders, for a foreign corporation.
Can't wait to get there.

Came from a background in science..... mainly biology and chemistry (organic), but no jobs in science and basically all contract work these days so guarenteed work at all times can become hard to find, sooo ended up being a
Registered Nurse...... on Surgical Wards only like HPB, Lower GI and Gynae..... and no.... working in Gynae ward is not as glamarous as you may initially think guys!
It is a rewarding profession, that is sadly not payed like it is a profession though.
In my view this is true of all health based professions, yep.... you won't see me dumping shit on doctors like "oh they make a shit load of money" like some nurses will say. When you are fucking run off your feet, work long long hours (yes say hello to +24 hr shifts in the early years), and if you choose to become a registrar (like GT), can't go out enjoy yourself without the possiblity of being called on your mobile or paged while your at a resturant with your wife, movies, gathering with friends, etc. then people realise that "yes", docs don't do it just for the money.
And to top it off, this medical indemnity BS that has/still is going on, it is surprising that there are still people still sitting their exams to get into medicine. I know it has put me off.
Sorry for my little rant, take care,
SPEEDY!

99% of the people who sue doctors are fucktards.
actually, 99% of the people who sue are fucktards.
"oh, my baby has blue eyes, not green - I wanna sue the gynaecologist" etc etc etc.
I hold no illusions that gynos work bloody hard, and run a huge risk from any parent who has a baby with nay kind of defect, and then decides it must be the gynos fault, so LET'S SUE!
unless it is actually negligent (like the guy who put forceps thru the baby's skull) my response to people like that is "next time, do it yourself and see how you go. otherwise shut up and stop complaining"
and full sympathy to the nurses out there - they do *not* get paid adequately for what they do.

just a note on sueing doctors
My mate had a broken arm.. which was re-set wrong.. they realised this after it had almost healed completely.. had to re-break it and re-set it again.... same thing happenned.. few weeks later had to re-break it and re-set it for the 3rd time and finally got it right.. my mate sued them for pain and suffering and loss of income and stuff.. got 750 000 out of them.
I think thats fair.
well sorta.
he payed his mums and dads mortgage off, bought his sister a new house......RESPECT, then he went out and bought a vn commodore v6.... consequently lost all the respect that had been gained
