New boat finished after 3 flat out weeks. All these boats have a very high custom rigging content, this bloke wanted the lot.
Fishy, it's difficult to get a grasp of scale of this RIB despite the tractor wheel. Looks nice though, 27 feet?doogz said:
I take offence at drop outs calling themselves engineers.
Also, the first time you dish one of them out to a girl, video it, I want to see how hard she laughs.
On a more serious note, you're an undergrad. An eccentric (most polite word I could think of) one at that. If you go in to an interview, and hand over one of your professional business cards, whilst swinging your pocket watch and wearing a trilby, you're not going to get a job. It won't happen. Why would you even have a business card, when you don't have a job/own a business?
Seriously, you'll look like a tool, it's not funny/witty/clever to anyone else bar you.
You should watch a few episodes of Dexter. Learn a couple of things about trying to fit in, when required. Pretend to be normal etc.
Erm.. pretty much what doogz said.Also, the first time you dish one of them out to a girl, video it, I want to see how hard she laughs.

To be honest outside of certain B2B sales/commercial contexts business cards are in my experience are pretty rare and mostly useless these days. Having one as a private individual who has turned up to a job interview would essentially say to me that this guy is trying to show he 'knows' business and in the process showing how he really doesn't have a f
king clue.I think I've only ever had one candidate come to an interview with a business card. He didn't get the job.
Feeling rough.
Went to Yeovil last night for a swift couple with a friend. Needed to catch the 2106 train back to Bristol, where a 3-course meal and a nice big bed in a four-star hotel awaited me.
Got thoroughly trashed instead, had a Wetherspoons hot dog and got woken up by my alarm clock at 0545 in order to catch the first train of the day to Bristol, having slept instead in the spare bunk in my mate's DAF 105XF.
And I missed breakfast at the hotel
