Mechanical Engineer acting as a Technician on a petroleum coking oil refinery (the only one in Europe doncha know)

Daily tasks range from planning major Shutdowns so fixing furnace charge pumps.

Get paid far too much for what I do ;)

Not a bad job tbh.

I got 8 o-levels, then did a 4 year mechanical apprenticeship at British Steel in Scunthorpe. Whilst there I did my ONC, HNC and then a degree in Mech Eng at Sheffield. Left the steel works in 1993 and have been at Continental Oil Company ever since.

Right now at this minute I own 2 video shops(DVD shops tbh). As from Monday one of them will be sold and as from June the other will be gone as well. After that I will run the main one(where I am now) for the other guy.

I will get paid twice as much as I get now and have no stress.

I was shit at school, I got no qualifications but I have done ok I guess.....maybe just luck for once.

I am by no means wealthy, actually I probably get less than minimum wage from this place but I enjoy the job.

And you call yourself a student :(

You could at least go for the... erm pool tables!! That's the one.

That's what Riley's is for. No loudmouth ***** and random wankers. Just chilled.

Staz is a screw? Makes sense, you have to be one warped person to be one of them.

Fair point.

Still media studies? Isn't that one of the subjects you wrote an essay about. And awful and pointless it all was. Debt, fees, stupidity, etc etc etc :D

Joking Joking!!

Still beats being an IT techy hey. Oh sorry lads.

I have pictures of what rough and tough oil workers wear. Should I post them?

You a failed IT tech or something DMW? You really seem to have an axe to grind.

I may aswell post a serious comment now:

I am an electrical/electronic engineer (althought not practicing atm).

Start work for a major energy services provider in September.

In 4 years I will be a fully chartered Power Engineer (he says this hoping that he doesn't die before then).

Other than that I masturbate regularly and am currently addicted to Lost.

I'm a student at Imperial College London, studying Biochemistry, in my first year. I work in a call centre during the holidays, and I don't plan to take either of them further.

At the moment I quite fancy being a wedding planner.

jackpotjoy.com - bingo, slots casino, that kind of thing (we're the biggest online bingo site in the UK). Not surprised you've had agency approaches; it feels like every other internet job in the country is gambling-related at the moment.

And you only just turned 18? Jesus you don't hang around.


I don't see it as a job tho. I do it for fun, the fact I get paid and get to tell others what to do is just a perk :)

What i meant is, you have to be 18 to even start the PADI divemaster course. And your only just 18.
