[QUOTE] The noise would be distracting.[/QUOTE] Ah, but does it vibrate?
I'm not a welder. Never accuse me of being a fucking welder. OK? They can't even walk upright without assistance.
It's a bit like Darwins theory of evolution but with welders at the bottom having just crawled out of the slime and managed to propel themselves along the floor slowly.
Not surprising, with all the fumes and the stooped over attitude all day long. I've heard if you catch a welder young enough, they can be trained to mimic humans. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a Teach a man to fish and he and his pikey mates will have the river cleaned out in a day.
It's possible to train them but only if they're not mig monkeys because by that stage it's considered a kindness to club them to death.
Another Bonwick classic. For those of us who don't have any real reason to associate with welders can you explain why they are obviously disliked in the great metal working hierarchy?
They're fucking animals. I'm working on the same job with 6 of them. Apparently it's okay to wipe your arse and throw the paper in the washbasin.
It's more contempt than outright dislike iyswim. I'm well aware of the fact that some welders do a very good (and very difficult) job but mig monkeys just pull a trigger on a welding torch and move it along a piece of steel that needs welding. That really is all there is to it and technically it's about on a par with gathering in shopping trolleys at Asda.
Some of the welders working on the same site as me are on £900 per shift for doing critical welds so I think they're probably on more than anyone posting on here when they're doing that work. They don't get many days of that sort of money and they get periods of no work taken over a 12 month period so overall they probably make the same as I do.
