    140 x 11.5 to 12 tonnes
    22 if you include the truck

    might be even more for these turbines as they are taller than the last ones

    As I am self employed have an office at home with a view looking straight out to sea.....thought the view was great but just seen TF's view from his pad on another thread......no competition.

    It does have advantages working from home but there are times when the working day starts at 7am and finishes late at night, it is difficult to actually shut the door and walk away from the work. It is also handy when like a couple of months ago our dog had an operation so I stayed up with her all night for 4 or 5 nights so I worked through the night and slept during the day whilst Mrs TR stayed with her.

    I also work on various business parks around the Waterford area which really is as exciting as it sounds....!

    OR..... you could just comment on the threads that interest you and leave the rest alone - you know, like everyone else does?

    Honestly - I'm picturing you as a Victor meldrew clone right about now...

    I had a mate that used to work at Pfizer.

    He did get me a free sample but I never needed it and lost it when I moved.
