    Congratulations!!! That must be the best feeling in the world, knowing that you are that much closer to doing the work you always dreamed of doing.

    @Swagasaurus Ah thats bad man!

    Have a buddy who runs a power line company doing 768KV (The big boys) and he got a a message from his site manager who had to help a company rented an all terrain 130Ton crane and the driver (Obviously not trained) tried to move a huge steel pile on site with it fully extended and the crane tipped forward and over. complete write off!

    Going to Zanzibar on holiday for a week on Saturday!!! Can't wait - scuba diving, suntanning on the beach, snorkling, cocktails, windsurfing, deep sea fishing, eat as much seafood as you can...!!

    Also taking along nets, bags, waders etc to see if I can collect some wild Killis!!! Now THAT will be the cherry on top!!

    Went to Loftus on Saturday for the test. Car guard wanted to be paid upfront, which of course I refused, offering him R50 afterwards if I get there and all is ok... He was not happy with that and was nowhere to be seen when we got back. But he left his handywork....
