/\ It's located in scouse land non? So one would assume that once BXP stops working, the interserverhostproviderweb will be on the back of a lorry to end up in Pikeysville!

I entrust the project to the Germans, they have standards, lots and lots of them, and redundancy and all kinds of funky made up words.

Re: Stupid Virgins
You'd be surprised about german engineering. I now know why this country produces the best automotive engineers, the germans really struggle to think outside of the box. They have there standards and rules and methods, but outside of that there a bit knackered.
The French are mediocre but thats better than the spanish!

Re: Stupid Virgins
My sentiments exactly, only I would add/emphasise that the germans seem very good (but not as good as the japanese) at perfecting something that has already being developed.
Very true mate, yet within them they are quite good! Which is actually bloody annoying....vanny wrote:They have there standards and rules and methods, but outside of that there a bit knackered.

Re: Stupid Virgins
Never worked in Spain ( never been there actually) so can't comment.
The F****h are annoying coz they are always saying how good they are at everything. But they get the hump if you mention fighting wars.
The Deutschers on the other hand, just get on with things without being annoying and want to speak english as well, which has to be a +.
I agree with you on their Q.A systems but der Herren Daimler, Diesel and Otto may tend to dissagree

Re: Stupid Virgins
Well the spanish are frustratingly laid back, I've been at injection moulding trials at 3.00 AM! and they even have cans of beer in the 'coke can' machine!

Re: Stupid Virgins
I think that is prevalent throughout europe. In Germany when the hauptman came round asking you to work overtime, if you said yes, he left a bottle of beer on your bench.

Re: Stupid Virgins
Used to happen before that in the steelworks apparently when the processes were manual rather than automated and the workers sweated with the intense heat. They used to come round with buckets of beer (while working) to help replace bodily fluids! Just think what today's H&S officials would have made of that!Philhod wrote: Never happened here once in 30 years

Re: Stupid Virgins
Prob is prevalent mate, although I never saw it Holland when i worked there I can't work out if we're stuck up Brits, too 'advanced' with the H&S crap, or if the rest of Europe is one laid back bunch of arse!Philhod wrote: I think that is prevalent throughout europe.

Re: Stupid Virgins
Succinctly put my dear Banditthe rest of Europe is one laid back bunch of arse!
I think you are going back into the 19th centuary with the beer supply W2g
I worked in a steel forge ( a lot hotter than a foundry) in the 60's. All we got when the temperature got to 90 (old money) was, Lemon crystals, barley and cold water. Oh and salt tablets in the morning ....no beer!!!!

Re: Stupid Virgins
Very likely Phil, my uncle knew this from his elders who were in steel in the North-East. The story is also supposed to explain why Blue Star and other northern breweries beer was stronger than traditional in the S0uth because it had higher nutrient value.
At least it's better in these times that we can get better real ale all over the country now.

Re: Stupid Virgins
Hangs about, the sort of time scale your talking about the water quality was absolutley shit, the water was brewed to make it safe above all else, Doctor Duncan's amazing solution to the deterioration of health in major cities. Thats where the concept of a 'Public House' came from in the first place, people selling beer from there houses having brewed with local water and made it same. Even kids would drink beer because it was safer.
Its why all the major breweries in each mojor city (and every major north city has had a brewery) are all of the same or similar age!

Re: Stupid Virgins
Very true mate. They actually brewed it weak (2% or less) so it could be drunk all day and by kids

Re: Stupid Virgins
i seem to remember reading somewhere that the brewers of the middle ages
made different types/strengths of beer
there was the everyday safe type ie weak beer but safe to drink as compared to contaminated water
but there was also stronger stuff to wasted on
again i seem to remember that a test for the strength of a beer was to sit in it and if your arse stuck to the seat then it was quality
