Re:

I am a Refrigeration and Airconditioning Technician working for Newcastle Universities maintenance dept. My role mostly relates to computer control systems over a network. I look after systems that are the size of a house to your average domestic split system.

I would say i would be amongst the youngest of the 120 owners on here at 28, I wanted a 4WD and the wife would only have one that was "pretty"... So the 120 fits the bill in all areas.

As above but in wollongong and sydney with more emphasis on chillers and central air handlers..
Married with 2 boys and just told wife we needed to replace commodore wagon for a 4wd...

showed her the prado brochure online and rest is history..just need to get the modifications the same way...

Re JamesC: "19 years of __________________."

What does that mean? 19 years on the prime minister's surfing team (dole)? 19 years painting lines down the highway? 19 years of doing lines (snorting cocaine)? 19 years of sweet FA? 19 years of trying to find yourself?

Please enlighten me, I am curious.

Hmmm, the only chocko's I know are the ones who melt when the going gets hot.

Spent some time working on systems at Russell, happy to not be there now. The son-in-law is currently based at Enoggera.

I don't know guys. taking advantage of the less knowledgeable and or experienced.

Bushbasher, investigate like CIB, CSI, police do and research previous posts...your answer lies within.

'Red Card' Bushbasher.

Ha - that made me laugh when I heard about that. Its a far cry from the bastardisation at Maylands.

Sorry everyone - this one is a bit of an 'in' joke.

Re: What do you do for a living?

Corporate lawyer here, just over 18 months out of uni. Specialising in energy and resources, also do a bit of general corporate advisory work.

Started out as a graduate in a 'top tier' national firm, but soon got fed up with the ridiculous hours (I'm another firmly of the 'work to live' school of thought). Moved to a smaller, WA-based firm a couple of months ago - best move I ever made (not to mention it affords me more time and money to spend on the Prado!)

Re: What do you do for a living?

The young ones abuse the sick leave entitlements like you wouldn't believe. If you give them a dressing down or some deserved critism they go off on stress leave. If you chastise them because their reports are incomplete or not up to standard they accuse you of bullying, though they won't do it to your face.

It's called Gen Y :!: :!: :!:
Something we all have to get used to.

the irony with older generations constantly criticising younger generations is that theyre the ones that raised them...

No it is the justice system that stopped us from raising them the way they should be raised . Bring back the police with the phone books , bring back the cane , bring back the wooden spoon , let the teachers have the authority to man handle the kids ! ! Punish the bas####ds for steeling a fredo frog . The law has gone soft ... :x :x

Re: What do you do for a living?

Well looking at most of you,s guys my job is very boring.I,m a counter sales person for BOC.All i do is take crap from my customers and tell them how good Bunch Of Champions is.On the other hand it,s not stressful and I get to play on the computer when we are quiet.Better that the old day when I was a Boilermaker.And we always have lots of good toys to play with.So long as I get paid the Prado gets toys added.
