Social Networking
If you had to limit your friend list on your chosen social networking site to only twenty people could you? What criteria would you use to weigh up potential winners? Would family matter? colleagues, friends you see in person? What clique of friends would be first to go? B3tans perhaps?

( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 19:35, Reply)

Yeah, the local one.
It's more a motivation thing than anything else. My folks split up so I'm not walking weekends with them any more, I've walked all the paths in both directions locally, and I don't really like going walking alone any more, although I've downloaded a shitload of audiobooks so I can listen to them while walking. Plus I've got a little smoke which would help pass the time. Looks like it's going to fucking rain all week though, grrr *shakes fist at sky*

How about you, how's the exams going?

That's pretty physical.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 20:26, Reply)

You'll need training to operate any plant surely.
Also, that kind of job attracts the sort of people who work on building sites.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 20:28, Reply)

They'll provide that.
Also it may attract meatheads, but in my experience they don't last long. Besides being physically strong, you've got to be very numerate and keep your wits about you if you want to be any good at the job.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 20:33, Reply)

Building sites do not provide heavy plant operators with training
if they are only going to be there for four months.
(Bazongaloid, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 20:38, Reply)

No, I'm talking about chemical or chemical-mixing plants here.
And even if the operator is on a short-term temporary contract, they'll need some basic training in order to carry out the job on the equipment.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Tue 7 Jun 2011, 20:51, Reply)

that's a grand idea
