Well I've had an interesting month or so!

I've been working in Materials Engineering! Thought it was going to be rather dull, but once I'd been trained how to cut things up and do all sorts of tests on them then it suddenly became interesting! Seen some absolutely fascinating failures and since I've been based on a different site (hence my absence) I've been working with a different product too.

So did I miss anything?

I was wondering as to where you disappeared.

Yeah. That's what you get for being AWOL. Give us a warning next time.
 
Glad to hear from you! And yes you missed everything from Wolly's pink bed coverings to evos allergies!
 
Nice to see you here again!:smile:
 
Hey Brewnog it sounds like you are doing great. Congratulations!
 
Of course you missed a lot! You're just going to have to read all the threads you missed until you're all caught up again. We'll give you until the end of the week...ready...set...GO! :biggrin:

Glad to hear things are going well for you with your job. Always good to find something you enjoy and that they're willing to let you learn new things.
