Me in a nutshell (with minimum of 20 characters)

[Sparksaflyin]

Morning again fellas. I’m being promoted to introduce myself so I thought I’d better.

My names liam and I’m an electrician (obviously) from Leigh on sea. I’ve recently started my own business and am in the process of revising for my 2396. I want to move more in the direction of designing, so if anyone has any ideas of best way to do this I’d appreciate some tips. I’m looking at doing a autocad/Revit course to assist my designing.

I’m 32, have 2 kids to keep me busy ( and the Mrs ) and currently have both my knees, elbows and shoulder joints working correctly. My backs not too shabby either and I’d like to keep it that way if possible . Hence wanting to go more in the direction of designing.

Anyway that’s me in a nutshell. Any comments or advice welcome.

Cheers boys!

Welcome to the forum Liam - sounds like you’ve got a plan. Keep at it.
Get involved and enjoy the banter.

Morning again fellas.

What about the females, gender neutral & gimpoids? They have feelings as well... (Except for the latter)
I myself no longer want to be referred to as 'Human' but as 'Klingon' from now on.

Nothing wrong in working in an office and being a mouse pusher mate..

This might be just the people who I know, me included, but.... If you are doing an Autocad/Revit course then be weary as if you don't use it for a while after the course you may forget how to use it..

Kapla Spoon, changing your nationality will mean changing your location, and it's not enough to say you come from the Klingon Home World either.

Welcome Mate good luck

 

[Intoelectrics]

Welcome!
Yes look after those joints, my knees and shoulders are shot! My old fella used to warn me when I was younger about not abusing my body else I'd pay for it later in life.

Oh how right he was!

 

[buzzlightyear]

welcome to the mad house ,but it will help .

But I like it up here in the NW... I will cry if I have to leave...
Next you will be saying that I have to learn how to speak Klingon... Not much change of that... I have to Google half of the English words so I know how to spell them, I'd be buggered with Klingon.

 

[telectrix]

ask SWD. i think he speaks Polish.if he can master that, Klingon is easy.

I think he just says that cause being born in Poland is better than being born down south, so I just makes him sound better...

 

[telectrix]

think he was born in this country of Polish parents who came here after WW2.same as my lady. she speaks Polish fluently, but not so hot on the written words due to lack of use.

 

[Sparksaflyin]

Haha yes! My bad! Of course I should make sure I don’t upset the women, transgenders,mixed race, multinational, multilingual, midgets, dwarfs and pansgenders of our ever increasingly touchy society we live in. I do apologise. Lol there’s a course for everything now days mate so I’m sure you can find one that teaches cling on. I’m sure nic, iet or jib can find ways of taking our hard earned cash for it!!

I have heard it’s a use it or lose it deal in reference to the autocad and Revit. I’m hoping that’ll I’ll be the former so should be ok! I take it no one has actually done it their selves and has any advice?

 

[LankyWill]

Learn Revit as Autocad is now a thing of the past.

 

[littlespark]

Klingon is soooo last century.

Nowadays you need to be fluent in Parseltongue, Minionese and Dothraki

 

[Sparksaflyin]

Yeah I’ve heard autocad is on the way out and from the research I’ve done on revit, it looks to be a massive improvement. Various designers I’ve spoken to swear by it but they say you should learn autocad as well as some clients will request it.

My daughter is fluent in minionese so I’ve got that base covered. I’m a game of thrones fan and so is the Mrs so Dothraki should be a walk in the park as well.

 

[telectrix]

unfortunately, my brain DNA is configured to understand the technical and scientific sides of life, so I am useless at languages, can't play any musical instrument whatsoever, and I still can't ride a bike or play tennis. Tampax are therefore useless to me.

WTF are those languages?

Hi Pete - here you go

 

[Pete999]

Hi Pete - here you go

Thanks for this Wilko, really riveting, must watch more Kids TV

 

[Sparksaflyin]

Haha I’m assuming you don’t have any children then Pete? If/when you decide to have some, the choice will be taken away from you mate I promise you that!

Listen Mush, I'm 72 and I have had children thanks very much, all grown up now, well nearly, I really don't think at my age my baby making thingamajigs are in working order, along with having the snip earlier on in my life, but thanks for the advice, message to oneself, watch more Kids stuff on the box, or not.

 

[Sparksaflyin]

Haha apologies! I shook the hornets nest with that comment. my bad! I’ve never heard yet alone been called the term “mush” so that’s a new one I’m more than grateful for though every cloud and all that......

Mush a Term often used in the Twerton area of Bath. A term of endearment, not an insult.

 

[littlespark]

So everyone knows Klingon from star trek?

Modern culture lesson...

Parseltongue = invented for the harry potter films. Gives the speaker the ability to talk to snakes.
Minionese = Spoken by the irritating yellow things from the Dispicable Me movies
Dothraki = From the TV series Game of Thrones. I would suggest you watch it, but with the gratuitous nakedness throughout, I don't think you old timers could handle it.

And "mush" is what happens to peas in English fish and chip takeaways.

Speaking of useful languages to have some command of,i ended up with Romanes and Hebrew
In the Romany tongue,a moosh or mush,is a man...an mandi pooker tatchipen

(I speak the truth)

 

[Sparksaflyin]

Haha no worries Pete im with you mate. Either way is cool with me. Takes more than being called a moosh to upset me fella. I am definitely with you on the fish and chips comment though littlesparks. Same way I was reading it

 

[oracle]

Heard of someone who is working in design who only uses a computer program to do it. Doesn't even know Ohms Law

Didicoy?

 

[PEG]

Didicoy?

A didicoy,is a fake or semi gypsy,but in many other dialects,as in trampspeak,shelta,etc,it can mean allsorts...usually derogatory
A poshrat or half blood is another descriptive or slight,depending on the internation. I have many Romany friends and time invested,to my great benefit,but i will always be a gorgè
