Suggest the personal insults stop now, or offending members will gain infractions

I think its all fine now Tazz, its surprising as soon as Voltage Optimisers are mentioned that people seem to fizzle out

I have just re-read the whole thread and would like to offer my whole-hearted apologies if I have taken some comments in a way that they were not intended to mean.

It is all to easy to read something and respond, and then re-read them in the light of previous and subsequent comments and reach a different conclusion.

However, I still stand by any personal observations which I have relayed to you from my on-site experiences, but I wish to retract any personal comments from my posts that have been caused by an over-sensitivity on my-behalf due to work related stress.

Peace.

Thank you both.....debate by all means, but there is no excuse for insults

 

[VoltzElectrical]

I hope you realise that MOST of my insults were actually aimed at the spazzes that I 'work' with, not members on here. I think it's important to make the distinction.

I reckon I should be elected for a moderator actually, as soon as debates get on the tipping scale I can just ask for opinions on my VO Products

I worked at Allied Colloids ..a scene of a masssive chemical fire in the 90's .. the event is used as a training video now world wide for all firefighters and chemical companies... Lets just say you can't fart in one of their labs without a gas detector going off.

Joking aside we lost a colleague through a roof skylight on this job many years ago, its now been renamed but you need permission slips to even use a drill in any sector of the site and you are checked on like you have ebola..so yes a very strict site.

For all those that think its all just red tape - during the big fire the fire brigade ignored the fire and just cooled one massive 10story tank because if that went up it would have created a lethal poison caustic cloud and if went bradford way would have seen 5 - 20 thousand casualties/deaths ----- serious sheite in my mind and justified.

We drove within a mile of the fire on the day and there was chemical foam balls floating in the air .... don't think it any lasting effects on me and Im sur...fluffy tedy bears ooooh llalalalalalal sure I got away any side affects.

I fairly regularly suffer from insomnia too. Comes and goes in my case!! lol!!
I rarely go to bed these days before 1am and generally up by 6 - 6.30am having my first coffee fix of the day....

 

[davesparks]

I started work at 23:00 and finish at 08:00 so just here to waste my breaks away

 

[Knobhead]

Definitely insomnia.

 

[davesparks]

Nope it's worse than insomnia, it's glyndebourne opera on tour!

There you go, that will keep you in the wide awake club if you drink enough.

I found that by reducing my intake coffee levels to "normal" from almost 1 per hr all day/night from the moment I got up I could eventually get a full 5hrs sleep per night!!

 

[Badged01]

... though that said Ive been awake since 4 so maybe it is an old age thing!!

i used to be like that with one an hour

It is, just look at teenagers, they want to sleep till the afternoon, no matter how early or late they go to bed. As you get older it seems you need less sleep, i can function just as well now on 5 hrs (or a little less) sleep, that i used to need 8 hrs for... lol!!

I was referring to me, work out what time I wrote that. I think I got to bed at 08:00.

I know, but I am in much the same boat, rarely able to sleep until the early hours of the morning.
It's just this week I have the excuse of working overnighters!
