Was. Twenty years behind the set man and boy. :smt001
I keep getting bored and going and doing something else for a bit.
Did a job for my old lot round Christmas, probably go back at some point but I'm really enjoying myself not NDTing at the minute.
ahh.

I've been in NDT for 8 years. Mainly on Tofd but keep my hand in with UT. I stay away from RT mind. Nasty stuff. :smt002

ewe'll be sorry you asked

indeed - you may even be sheepish


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Hmmm - non-destructive testing of sheep... I wonder what they're testing for? I must admit I prefer sheep slow cooked with garlic and rosemary.

Unlike squid and Alad who prefer theirs tossed... Allegedly :smt003
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I performed an impromptu impact test on a sheep. Doesn't really count as NDT because the sheep was well and truly destructed. Not sure of the results because I was face down in a ditch.

It's okay as long as you don't let the x-ray pixies out. Then you have to spend the rest of the day reading the paper. I had to explain this to the gaffer on more than one occasion.

I had a UT ticket, but it bothers me, something witchy about it.
I did a bit a couple of years ago to check the results of a dubious immersion tank set-up. Borrowed a set, fiddled with it for an hour and then took it back to get an old one with twiddly knobs on that I could actually use. Bloody kids and their computer this and digital other.

I'm lazy and do use a digi set they are getting better but still not quite as compatible an a scan as the old analogue sets.
