putting those figures into a Body Mass Index (BMI) calculator gives about 27.5 - anything over 25 is considered overweight, so you are slightly over - however it does say it is not very accurate for 'athletic' people due to their higher muscle mass.

- the good result is the blood pressure - mine is high, even though I am bordering on underweight for my height.

I think you will be ok

Re: New Job Kinda

As long as you're not colour blind and 2 kilos overweight is nothing thats about 4.4 lbs.

As homealone said, there shouldn't be a problem.

Good stuff matey

Just try and make the best of it - as has been said, if you don't enjoy it, you've had the training and use that to your advantage if you're looking for something else.

Hope it works out alright

Check the group intranet it gives recommended levels at various parts of the slope

If you can do as much work as possible in the cabinet and leave as little trailling on the end of a modem / set top box (reading about engineers stuffing 13dB of attenuation on the back of cable modems ) you is good Though get em in the right tap in the first place and there's a good part of it done!

IIRC mate, the signal levels should be +4db/+4db/-4db. But its been a while since I had to worry about that, thank feck.

So which supervisor are you training under? If its Alex tell him Brian says ''hello you short arsed gimp''.
