Thanks - I think he'd be keen.

Sure hope he finds something soon - My son went through the same thing. He's 50% through his motorcycle apprenticeship, and they've done away with bikes now. Frustrating for the kid, he's found something in the interim, but wants to get back to finishing his apprenticeship.

Good luck to Matt

My comments still apply. It is not a case of getting so many shocks you become immune to them That is the fallacy which leads to Sparkys being killed.
It depends what your heart is doing at the time you get the shock. At the wrong time and you don't know anything anymore.

As long as you relise it was a jest reguarding immunity.
Reality is you become more aware of risk and reduce possibilty of shock.Women with no underwear doesnt help though.

Dave - if you can get him to finish his electric and have a solid trade behind him. Wish I did - I'm stuffed if my job goes...... nothing but my pretty face to sell!

Tape cardboard box over daylight sensor to activate light.
Replace lamp still no go.
Young lady comes along and sits on bench seat.
Young lady sticks legs up and crosses them in short pleted skirt.
Young lady has on no underwear
Mossy forgets about cardboard box on daylight sensor and starts taking apart light.
Mossy holds onto live cable while forehead on sign.
Mossy blown off ladder and lying on ground with burnt forehead.
Young lady gets up to see if mossy OK standing over him(still perving)

Mossy just about killed by a piece of Muff.

Another true story
Many many years ago two stories up on a single plank and no handrail weatherboarding a house I look up at the house next door
Young lady standing at window completely naked
Me nearly fall off scaffolding
After a few minutes catching my breath decided to go next door and introduce myself
Just get to their driveway and hubby arrives home on his scooter

I also understand wanting a change. As the boys stated - the gig is about crawl spaces - and he's a NBA size man.

Only your face to sell,i suppose being a Honda rider everything else has been well used......

He's probably heard this already, but he should probably go down to Christchurch. He should try Student Job Search - he should qualify as an apprentice, and they have a few good tradie-type jobs on there for 15-20 per hour that he could look at.

**Crasherfromwayback** · 28th January 2013, 20:10

Dude...he's probably retired by now!

Auckland based. Own transport. (Dag drives a subaru eieieie!).

Needs an opportunity.

Anybody knows anything , 'preciate it.

tradies love Christchurch at present. One of the girls at my gym is an electrician (she is very attractive too). I will ask here what the situations like (any excuse to chat her up a bit)

The thread is getting a tad ripe.
