norman Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Not even going to increase their clickage, if the DM said good morning I'd look outside to check, shitrag. 2 Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

norman Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 It's all about the hourly rate, anyone can earn 80k (if the works there) but they still may be on a 'meh' hourly rate. 1 Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

datadiffusion Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Agreed, remember those network engineers gunned down in Checynya a few years back, and that was after the main conflict had so say ended. So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41558-were-in-the-wrong-trade-guys/#findComment-468537 Share on other sites More sharing options...
goncall Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 theres money to be made if you take the risk,old man worked in war zones in the mid to late 70's as a spark was coming out with £300 a week which was about the same as this 150k thing, think the average take home pay in the uk was around £50 a week back then Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/41558-were-in-the-wrong-trade-guys/#findComment-468538 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjsturner Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Proper grafter then, fair play. the money should be good when your working away. Was talking to a woman I know today who said her bloke is going from working in Germany to Kuwait for a year because the money is so good, she said it's great because the mortgage will be paid off soon, thing is though he sees his two kids a few weeks a year and don't do f all with them, been working away about 5 years now. I feel sorry for him if he thinks that's living.
