swapping out Dilithium crystals at 4am is not as glamorous as you might think

 

[Jimmi]

I do film and lighting TV, specifically with giant helium balloons.

 

[Ghost]

@Jimmi Sounds very interesting, I’m guessing you have been to lots of different locations with your work.

Where’s the best and worst place you have been?
..and Who is the biggest diva from tv you have seen ?

 

[Jimmi]

One of the best places I’ve been is a place called the Devils Pulpit in Scotland . Probably the worst job I’ve ever done was in a freezing cold warehouse in the Docklands filming a Vamps video
I’m afraid I can divulge any secrets regarding “the talent” as I could get myself in trouble!

Oh I dunno, we all moan about O&G and like everything it has it's ups and downs, particularly recently. You do miss out on a lot but the off time does give you an incredible amount of freedom over a 9-5 job.
32 years I have been at this game so probably institutionalised to be fair

Now back to being an apprentice as an overhead linesman - best job in the world!

Boring as hell but pay is good, 2 ex wife’s and 3 kids means no retirement till as least 65!

Still I have my own gaff, T6 and a premium subscription to Pornhub...what more does a man need!

For car black boxes: I know how you're driving lol

Ironically before that i worked on supercars: mcLaren MP4-12C, P1s, 5x0s, Ford GT 2018.
I was working on the instrument clusters for all these cars in Derby

I can bet there are some "TriCore" chips i worked on in these transporters...
