You think that's bad - for a short time, I worked with a guy called AdoIf

There was quite the "WTF" moment when we were introduced.
Odd isn’t it how much that name has become unpopular , yes Joe is still a popular name, and arguably Stalin was as bad if not worse than Adolf ….

I had a couple of hours on a 22RB at the Rocks by Rail museum near Oakham. I’d spent years thinking ā€œhow hard can a dragline be?ā€ Well I know now. - very. I had the same feelings as when I first tried welding or operating a dozer, never going to get this. However, it did start to come together a bit before lunch. Went to crap afterwards. I really need a pond to slub out and no spectators.

It was air, Gra. The pedals aren’t very ergonomic, had to hold my knees up as there’s nowhere to rest your feet other than on the pedals, and the number of times I tried to hoist/drag without letting the brakes off was embarrassing.
