BulletMagnet Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Do you guys ever shout "GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!" when you get a call out? Quote
Stew Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Do you guys ever shout "GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!" when you get a call out? We used to shout that alot when going home from offshore! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Do you guys ever shout "GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!" when you get a call out? I bet there's a lot of discussion at the airport "My chopper's bigger than your chopper" etc. Quote
Ebized Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Cheesy but cool compared to the rest! You hoping he will drop in on you with that line Quote
andlid Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Currently like (month of January) this: Most of the time it's a clients desk I'm at or in a server room Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Another Dell These are the machines of choice at my company these days and it's a case of " I'd rather keep my 3 year old Samsung than use one of your up to date Dells" in the same vein as " I'd rather push my Chevy than drive a Ford" It's the graphics card (or lack of one) in a Dell that annoys me All my opinion of course Quote

This one isn't your normal office DELL since they don't care about graphics or memory, got this aul dog of the outlet website for half nothing. So in one year I'll get another DELL ... and so on graphics are pretty nice on this one (studio) works to play MW2 no problem and hook it up to the telly with the HDMI cable too Anyway, reason I got it = Needed a laptop fast and nothing fancy so I got a consumable (DELL) that I'll more then likely upgrade this year or start next. Does the job actually. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 chopper job = awesome job, big respect paperless office = kids are fine, like you said its the older members, i've seen a big turn around in 18 months but ti've been pushing it forward abit, alot o f people print out all their emails if its on paper i deliberatly delay its return, and when pushed for it; i ask why they didn't email it to me? people soon find if its emailed to me they get it back normally in about 20 minutes, depending on if i'm teaching at the time or not. if its in my pigeon hole i like to normally take at least a week to do it unless its from the head, or an emergency, then i do them quicker as for dells, we use them at work and they are crap, my old knackered one was better than the dell i'm using now, it blue screens me at least once a day, the network card won't update, it crashes, the battery falls out, the list is endless. my wife had one and ive come across them a few times and each time they turn out to be useless crap, yet they seem to get all the big company deals. they seem to be supplying most education authorities.

Eh nothing wrong with Dells mate, if it give you bsod then hand it back to the IT department They are so cheap so you're meant to throw the old one out and get a new one before the poor build quality shows up...

As for as who's got the biggest chopper question...? Mine's not very big, but it's very effective... Does 145Knots in cruise and can go for 2 and a quarters hours without stopping to have a breather.. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Have you got a 'dte' and is it accurate ? Hope it is Quote
stanski Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Have you got a 'dte' and is it accurate ? Hope it is As long as it's not the fiction the Zed one provides anyway Big choppers aside what about Andy's first job (AK350Z) stood on top of those wind turbines off shore ! I got seasick just looking at the pictures ( can't find them though? ) Quote
nixy Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 My office is pretty boring - tucked away in the attic - freezing in winter, boiling in summer. I have plenty of posters and calendars though! AND i think i'm the only one that's made a rubber band ball! Quote
Husky Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 is that ACTUALLY a rubber band ball? whats in the middle? Quote
nixy Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 There's nothing in the middle of a rubber band ball! Its just rubber bands! I thought you'd mention the BMW mug or the hand cream before that Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 What you doing with a BMW mug and hand cream on your desk Quote
Husky Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 cant see no hand cream, but... A BMW MUG!!! TSK TSK not impressed Quote
Husky Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 T'was a corporate freebie! its free so you can gain the satisfaction of smashing it Quote
Sarnie Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Is that the 370z from Colins sig pic on your wall? Quote
