I'm still an apprentice (so barely get paid) lol, for an engineering company called Nordson, they specialise in hotmelt adhesive applicators, for pretty much anything.

My job basically involves repairing and modifying all of the machines the on road engineers can't be bothered to do! :smile

I studied machining and Motorsport Engineering fabrication at college but i gave up on the motorsport after I kept getting told i needed more engineering experience!!*angry*

No seriously. I work for the Norwegian branch of Mi5. I can tell you what I work with, but then I'd have to kill you. I really can't be bothered with 50+ assasinations right now.. :)

That's the best thing about engineering in the UK - you can call yourself an engineer without a degree or any bits of paper... *laughing**evil**evil**evil**laughing**laughing*

We had oracle at work in Bolton - always tickled me when it was abbreviated - eg
"ang on, let me look it up on t'oracle"

They really do speak like that...

SAM is Software Asset Management. :)

Jimster, have you noticed that Oracle are slowly taking over TVP? They've got tons of buildings there now. Give us a shout next time you're down. :)
