https://allevents.in/lytham st annes/lytham-car-show-2024-sponsored-by-auto-expert-lytham/200026217876755 WHEN IS IT? Fathers Day, Sunday 16th June 2024 - 9am-4pm WHERE IS IT? Lytham Green - Opposite the Clifton Arms Hotel. FY8 5QJ I've been the last couple of years and enjoyed the mix - supercars to keep a 9 year old happy, and plenty of BL tat for me, mixed in with some Max Power Focii, and some random JDM. Usually a 300/400 cars on show (the website says 600 which seems mad) Free entry too, but they do suggest a donation to the cancer charity it's run on behalf of - to which I say 'fair enough' and donate generously.

Great work on the pass, lovely car

The YouTube youth swear by dry-ice blasting. I'm not sure of its merits beyond "dicking around with cool equipment" but there you go.

As an aside, I occasionally get duplicate pages showing - the final two pages of a thread are identical. Assuming it's some kind of database/reconciliation issue? (I know nothing about websites). I thought I was imagining it for a while so didn't say anything, but it's definitely happened a few times now, most recently on the New24 thread.

Yeah, they're not exactly hiding it, but also choosing the wording as carefully as they can to mean you can miss the second stage is the option of donating to the hosting site, rather than the charity. Like 'chipping in' on that fucking petition site.

Three HG replacements is getting close to @DavidB "change the gearbox on a Smart car three times" levels of rage. Good fucking luck, man

Might be barking up the wrong tree, but I think @gm had a bit of experiment with LED lights on the Exo.

Baffling attitude - but horses for courses innit? I'm not going to take a job in a place that treats an interview as a deliberately hostile encounter. And the times when I'm sat on the other side of the table, I'm hoping that every candidate I interview gives the best possible account of themselves. If they employ successful strategies to get there, gives me the information I need and gives a good account of themselves, what's the issue? If they sit there reading drone-like and not engaging with the panel, they've not used their preparation appropriately. If they bluster in, give vague, unstructured answers and replace competence with confidence, I'll come to the same conclusion.

I turn up to every interview, in person or online, with a (professional, smart looking) notepad in which I've written out 10-12 examples of Things Wot I've Done, laid out in bullet points, one scenario per page. Each page is headed with at least 3 cues (eg 'time management' or 'resolving conflict') it could be relevant to. When I'm asked the 'could you give me an example of a time when you've managed a challenging situation?' I then explain that I'm just going to see which of these examples best fits the question and then answer. When I'm done flicking through, I always ask them to repeat the question before giving my anecdote. Interviews aren't a memory test, they're an opportunity to demonstrate you have the skills they need and I would never have an issue with someone giving themselves the best chance of giving a good answer. Twenty years of reasonably senior public sector roles (including NHS) and the only feedback I've ever had about the notepad from interview panels was "that's a really nice idea".
