David, I would have to dissagree there.......I have had 8 Lotus, a Maserati 3200 and 4 M cars.....The best car I've ever owned is a BMW M3 CSL and its up there on passion with the 3200 I had.............I have also had 5 Alfas and agree that on the whole Italian cars do have a passion that others can not match but BMW M cars do buck the trend...Or they did with the ones I had...........and the noise from the CSL was stunnning and like no other car I've owned........

Fair enough Andy everyone has there own views on things, I find they don't really do anything for me. Saying that one of the most FUN cars I ever owned was a ford KA no guts no styling but it was ...fun.. Although I was always afraid of what would happen if I ever crashed it lol.
I like cars that are different they don't have to be the fastest or the noisiest or even the most stylish but they need that certain something. I was going to use the French expression but I dislike renualts with a passion.. He says after buying one for the wife to drive....(it was cheap and I don't have to drive it + when she smashes it up I'll not care either way or probably even knotice lol)

I used to be an archeological draughtsman (digging up and then drawing dead people) but fell somewhat unthinkingly into designing wallpaper. Now (many years later) I manufacture it for punters around the world. Sorta like a comfy life sentence. Wouldn't be able to do anything else now. It's a prison cell, but it's padded and the view through the barred window is pleasant enough. Access to the exercise yard and regular trips to integrate me into the outside world keep me not too far over the line marked madness.

I run a small sales team working for a software and services company in the pay and broadcast TV industry. Quite a lot of travel, hard work but good fun. Just on my way back from a week at our annual industry trade show in Amsterdam, where my liver turned to jelly.

I make Damien Hirst's wallpaper Andy. He has a thing about dead people as well. It's a small gang, but rigamortis stops us drifting too far apart.

well well well. so thats what you all do.
I dont do anything routine, I dont go to a nice comfortable office. I tend to go and sort out someones f*ck up on oil & gas projects.
have been known to take a project on just to see what the place was like, ( gastello, yuhsno sakhalinsk, federation of russia....it was winter)
currently in Antwerp unravelling a belgian clusterf*ck.

here's a picture of one I did earlier this year. Its a drill rig called the scarabeo 6. its in the drydock in rotterdam. I circumcised the helideck, top right of snap, took 4 mtrs off it, took that to the workshop added 7 mtrs to the bit i took of and put it back.

the scaffold you can see is hanging on to whats left of the deck and is about 150 ft above the dock floor.

cant do routine.
