Name 3 sparkies to work with

[Jay Sparks]

HI guys & gals,

Just been thinking whilst reading some posts and replies on here and it led me to thinking of who I would want to work with, just going by their post alone.

So really a simple question. Based on posts alone within the last 6 months, name 3 sparkys on hete you would like to work with?

It can't be someone you already know on here. It has to be based on their posts alone, in the last 6 months. Hopefully it won't cause too much trouble?

Mine are:

davesparks
Richard burns
Murdoch

There are others I would love to work with but these are the first 3 based on the last 6 months posts.

Doesn't have to be all 4 of us on the same job does it? We'd never get anything done with all this gossiping!
Without favouritism coming into it -
1) Richard Burns
2) Wilko
And 3) Midwest because he can make the tea when we are all finished!
That is difficult because without going all mushy I respect each and every one of you for your input, humour and professionalism in the job.
Other things I'd like to know -
1) whether @hightower is a 7' Blackman?
2) is @Lucien Nunes the mad professor
3) does @westward10 wear those 70s clothes all the time?
4) of all the newcomers @Ian1981 is a clued up spark and I enjoy his input.
5) @D00DY_T00DY is the forum mascot
6) @Pete999 glues us together
7) not forgetting @telectrix - how on earth has he got nearly 46000 posts?

 

[Leesparkykent]

I would have @westward10 as the company tester, @Dave OCD and his lad as the installers and @GMES as the foreman

It is sometimes miss leading when you see a persons avatar. It's very hard to picture what they look like. My favourite is Dr Skelton. I bought the book on Rommel because of something he posted a while ago. As said above, there are loads I would love to work with but you only have 3 choices. Hopefully not based on their avatar but on their recent posts.lol

Pete999
Telectrix
Sparkychick

Sadly you gave a limit of 3, we've got a lot of top sparks on here that I'd be happy to work with.

 

[Jay Sparks]

Pete999
Telectrix
Sparkychick

Can we have some reasoning behind your choices?? You dont have to but it might be interesting.

 

[Specialist]

Pete & tel: Because they're good old fashioned, all round sparks that take pride in what they do.

Sparkychick: She's young, likes to do things the right way & is always happy to help people out.

 

[Specialist]

No problem:

 

[Electric Magic]

Davesparks, because although he can be harsh sometimes it is good to know where your stand with people and he knows his sh*t and doesn't have time for bull.
Leesparkykent, because he makes an effort with everyone and seems to be an all-round decent bloke.
Richard burns, for his willingness to take the time to explain things to the less experienced and his excellent diagrams.

 

[westward10]

Pete999 the canduit man, Leesparkykent for seeing out a proper job and GMES because I doubt there is nowt he cannot do.
Substitute, Sparksburnout you only live once

 

[Midwest]

ooooh I'm touched I've been mentioned once. Here's my choices;

@ Kieran

@ Brad

@ Paul

Enough said.

 

[Ian1981]

Did he really just chisel out the render for that outside socket??
Sorry drill it out haha

 

[westward10]

Have you watched it in full the fella is a legend.

 

[Ian1981]

Have you watched it in full the fella is a legend.

I will have a watch.
Preview looks erm interesting.......

 

[Pete999]

I will have a watch.
Preview looks erm interesting.......

Well I couldn't work with him, i would end up in the Police Station for GBH, he is a divvy

 

[Ian1981]

Is it a clever wind up?
Does he do it for a laugh or does he generally think he is providing good technical advice to people haha

 

[Midwest]

It's one of Pete's 'oldies', its a classic

 

[Pete999]

No Ian he is deadly serious, who would let someone knock a hole in their house for a wind up?

 

[Specialist]

That is a classic Pete, I sat & watched in awe at the stupidity of it.

 

[Ian1981]

No Ian he is deadly serious, who would let someone knock a hole in their house for a wind up?

He's even advertising his own company!

 

[westward10]

He has got other videos out there but this one is the best, he genuinely thinks he has done a good job.

 

[Leesparkykent]

He's even advertising his own company!

He also does gas

 

[Specialist]

Yes Ian, He's proud of the way he's doing it. Can't remember exactly what he says, but something along the lines of he classes himself as a good Electrician.

Now come on & fess up, don't all you boys & girls that do Domestic wish you were that good ?

 

[Ian1981]

He also does gas

God help his customers

 

[Specialist]

Wonder if he covers Wales, there's a few people here could do with blowing up

 

[The Ghost]

I really could not answer that question. I would work with most people on here. I suppose sense of humour is important, as clearly most of you are well up to the task of being an electrician. I would not like to say one and exclude the other. Perhaps we should have a poll on three you would not work with? That would put the cat among the pigeons!

 

[ruston]

I would love to work with most on here too.
I would not like to leave anyone out either. Everyone has their own traits that makes them endearing. For instance , I bet a few shifts with @Kamikaze would be enlightening.

 

[SparkyChick]

Picking three is too hard, I've been thinking about my answers since I saw the thread yesterday, so in no particular order (and with some multiple choices because I really cannot whittle it down to three)...

• @Midwest / @Murdoch / @westward10 / @Wilko / @Richard Burns / @Pete999 - For some experience and knowledge
  
• @Specialist - To pick his brains about security and fire alarms (and well, he said I'm young love him)
  
• @GMES / @Rob - To work on more interesting stuff than domestic

And then there are some honourable mentions...

• @telectrix - Because I think the work day would be either one long wind up or one long laugh fest and I'd like to find out which
  
• @KennyKen - For the chance to prove that not everyone who goes the short course or "boil in the bag" route is completely clueless and that for some of us, it's just the start of the journey as it allows us to get out from under the corporate grind stone and change our circumstances so that we can pursue the qualifications that lead to an JIB card

And after that, pretty much any of the regular posters (e.g. @DPG , @Vortigern , @Rpa07 to name three) because there are a lot of top blokes on here who know their stuff and are willing to help others out and I think it would be great to work with almost everyone.

 

[hightower]

Too much knowledge on here to pick from that, plus I've absorbed all your knowledge over the past few years so I don't need you for that

So I'd have to pick on banter alone and go with @Pete999 @telectrix and @DPG

All mint blokes who don't mind a bit banter

 

[Jay Sparks]

If we are honest, we could probably pick any 3 from this forum. My picks are based on the fact that when I read an OP, I have an answer in my head, then I continue to read the replies and them guys nearly always say the same thing.
