Posted By Stuart Nagle Who did the presentation for you then Charlie...... Merv? Stuart

Posted By Heather Aston Congratulations Charley - you must have done something right then - good for you! I can assure you I don't talk about H&S at parties all that often though. While I realise that those of you who've made it to the exalted height of Director proabably do live your entire life for health and safety, we mere mortals have the occasional outside interest too. Invite me to your party and you'll see! (Don't worry Merv you can come to my party if Charley won't ask you to his) It's Friday. Heather

Posted By Heather Aston Jon Do you have a terrible pain in all the diodes in your left hand side? Brain the size of a planet.....

Posted By Charley Farley-Trelawney Many thanks for the entertaining comments; in an area of work that is as serious as it gets; (the preservation of life) it is refreshing to find some humor when the stress factor can be quite daunting at times; for instance, chappies today 15 metres up on the roof, doing arc welding, in a confined space, electrical equipment, fire implications, falling, harnesses to check, lanyards, MEWPS, gennies, PPE....etc; (at least no excavations today) wish I could eliminate the lot and click me fingers; job done so to speak. Lets face it chaps and chappeses we all feel better when the works are completed and they are safe and sound and the working area is left safe..........now then, let me just go and inspect the area to ensure my vehicle and pedestrian segregation is working. Note to myself: 'book appointment with optician to get eyes in back of head checked'! TTFN Charley with that (Y) Thanks for the note to yourself Jon!

Posted By Merv Newman Heather, If your party on Friday is today I may be a bit late as you are outside my 500 mile limit. But put at least one bottle of Bowmore behind the sideboard for me wont you ? Or were you just trying to remind me that today is Friday ? Merv Charley, thanks for the invite, I'll let my wife drive so that I can keep within company H&S guidelines. On long trips we swap off every couple of hours. Why, she complains, does she always get the stretch with the traffic jams, the roadworks and the pouring rain ? Proactive research says I. Whereupon I usually get thumped.

Posted By Jonathan Breeze Is it Friday Heather? No, I'll come if you want me to. Shall I bring my Morrissey records? We can talk about life, liberty & the persuit of happiness if you want, though I doubt we'll find it. It's all so futile don't you know!
