Spare parts Interpreter.....lets see who can guess what that is.. I've done an apprencticeship as a motor mechanic and have now also gotten my trade ticket for Interpreting (only recently recognised as a trade here in Aus). All that and its only taken 20 years.......

30psi 05-03-2007 09:15

I assume it means that you interpret what parts a customer requires?

Thats the usual response:D Would take a while to explain, but in a nutshell its a type of geotechnical investigation. I live in hotels monday - friday (writing this from my hotel room), spend all week driving from one corner of the cuntry to another, pushing cones in the ground with 25 ton truck/crawler and i do the same thing offshore hanging off the edge of huge boats and drill platforms.

Cool man never heard of that line of work.

Personally though i prefer the sound of cone penetraion lol;)

slimreaper 08-03-2007 06:24

when people phone while I'm working, I can answer with "I'm Penetrating" and I get to buy condoms 50 at a time, much to the embarrassment of the till tart working the checkout at tesco/boots, and charge it to company expenses! :cool:

Less than a Vaginal Penetrator.

30psi 08-03-2007 12:07

I'm thinking of a career change.

In fact I start a new job on Monday, so that might not go too well with the new employers...

JackieFan 08-03-2007 12:14

Don't tell 'em :p

When i meet one i'll ask him:p but as far as i'm aware such a creature does not exist and never will. Only about 30 penetrators in this country and we're all a few sandwiches short of a picnic:wack. my basic salary is pants about 17k, but with all the overtime (and their is alot of it) I managed to clear 26k last year:D

30psi 09-03-2007 11:15

At least you get paid for overtime though. Gives you the opportunity to earn more even if you do have to work your nuts off.

duncan 09-03-2007 21:16

just by reading this im wondering what the fuck i've been doin with my life! im a qualified mechanic and a fucking over worked one at that!! have been in the same place for last 7 years. there are NO oppertunities in this country. i've been thinking of a move to the uk this past year or so. if some one could tell me where i can find out bout the income tax and all that malarky it would be great.
other than that i live for cars. s12's in particular as nobody knows what they are here. very sick of idiots shouting 'go on the twin cam' though. (an ae86 is known as a twin cam in ireland)

adzs12 09-03-2007 21:23

You would be warmingly welcomed if you made the move here mate, go on you know you want too;)

s13eater 09-03-2007 21:30

yeah, get your ass over hear mate;) .

JackieFan 10-03-2007 04:24

So if we all went to stay at Duncans house we'd have loads more money to spend on cars...... and the Guiness is better?

First of all there is a personal allowance of £5,035.

After you earn after this amount you pay tax. If you are paid weekly/montly its divided by 12 or 52 etc.

After the personal allowance there is 2 types of tax; PAYE (income tax) and National Insurance (NI).

PAYE:

Up to £2,150 - 10%
£2,151 - £33,300 - 22%
£33,301+ - 40%

So if you earn £7,185, only £2,150 of it is taxed at 10%. If you earn £20,000, there is £2,150 taxed at 10% and then £12,815 at 22%. Therefore £20,000 would be deducted £3,034.30 PAYE.

NI:

Up to £33,540 - 10%
£33,451+ - 1%

Therefore for £20,000 NI of £1,496.50 is deductable.

On say a salary of £20,000, after deductions above, the net pay is £15,469.20 which is £1,289.10 per month.

shut up lol
