What do you do for a living? :)

[InkedMuttley]

Those PTS Crews are always grumpy, you'll fit right in

Cheeky cnut!

I'm always cheerful just take a dim view of certain people that decide to rip engines out for something with masses more power and not declaring it lol.

Nah but in all seriousness I am a cheerful person that will give everybody the time of day regardless of race, gender, sexual preferences etc. And I like to think I'm quite easy to get on with although I can at times be on a bit of a downer when the depression kicks in but that's quite rare nowadays!

Lol i think youd be one of the few that arent grumpy tbh, there are some very nice ladies in PTS too

you looking to go from PTS to being a paramedic ?

[InkedMuttley]

Yeh I've seen a few females that are certainly very fine that are in PTS/ETA work.

Yeh I would like to be a paramedic but don't have the qualifications to do it which really pisses me off in our division we have a paramedic that is thick as f*ck, shit maths etc...yet has all the qualifications necessary...I don't have the qualifications necessary yet I'd consider myself to be quite well educated so I want to get up to PTA or ETA standard as I've always wanted to do blue light transport for some unknown reason (think it's just so I can give the nose to tail traffic the middle finger!)

I should of been going for PTA last year but the woman that was doing the interviews claimed that I didn't have the relevant experience to do so yet her best friend who had just done his qualifications at the same time as me (same rank and everything) got through a treat, there was 3 positions on the course, her 3 mates were the only ones that got through despite 6 of us applying for it 2 failed and the other just got through by the skin of his teeth, as soon as they got through it turned out she was working for a private ambulance company and was poaching the ones that she had put through.

You do know PTS dont get blues right?

Never knew you had to have many qualifications for paramedic work?

It's changed or is changing within St John Ambulance mate, because of the fact that you're transporting patients that have got dicky hearts etc you and I can both appreciate that they can be fighting fit one minute and arresting the next, even on PTA work so the drivers are all being put onto BTEC driving courses which will allow them to work on blues despite the fact that the ambulance services don't like it.

"The range of paramedic science courses at university varies in terms of entry requirements - but you will typically need a minimum of 5 GCSEs (including English, mathematics and/or a science) plus at least 2 A’ levels or equivalent qualifications. " is what I dug up, problem is I dropped out of school at 14 despite being a good pupil because I was stabbed and the school refused to do anything because there was a lack of evidence even though the cameras in school showed him follow me into the toilet and then run out a few seconds later. I did report it to the head master and the police but when the parents got wind of it they claimed he was being victimised because of his race (he was black) and not the fact that he'd just stuck a knife into my shoulder.

Don't suppose you had anything to do with the closed lane and 50mph average limit on the M1 this weekend just gone?

Was in a hire van and got well tempted to do a bit of cone killing to keep me awake after the 90 millionth mile of being stuck at 50...

Didnt realise that mate, thought they were still running on the premise of it only being ambulances on major calls that were allowed to use them, should really keep up as i work with them lol

and thats a shitter about school mate i guess they wont consider it through experience working for PTS as that seems to be a good way in

Im a Quantity Surveyor. Worked for some of the biggest companies in the world, was lucky enough to work in Toronto, Canada for a year. Worked on schemes worth $350m and £120m as well as lots of multimillion pound projects. Currently working for a regional contractor on multiple projects of a smaller scale. Wanted to gain the experience at the other end of the scale.

He works for Amey on the road crews iirc. Think he had to come clear up all the powder that someone chucked on the road after I had my crash in the Dtub on the M5.

I'm a Facilities Co-ordinator, working for Johnson Controls. I currently manage the day-to-day running of BP's IT Headquarters near Heathrow, which is two buildings. I manage things like Cleaning, Vending, Maintenance requests, waste, meeting room management etc.

BP are such a pain in the backside, but it's never the same two days in a row!

I'm a continental coach driver of sorts... One day I might be taking a load of old dears to the seaside in a bus, and the next day I'm on my way to Portugal and other far flung European destinations in a 14m tri-axle Coach.

This mostly involves an unbroken 26 hour shift of driving/travelling, spend 6 days getting paid to be mind numbingly drunk in the blistering heat, tea total on last day then drive/travel 26hours home the next.

We do some strange things when we are away, I've been told on no fewer than 2 occasions I'm not allowed back into Germany..

Fucks you up after a while and ruins yours social life back at home but It pays the bills...
