This man ....

 

Had a real good laugh, thanks Wat'

[brammy777]

Id like to say thanks to all the members on here who have been helpful regarding my panic attacks, they are slowly subsiding and its been largely pinned down to a likely allergy to penicillin, making it difficult for me to breathe. Havent had any issues bar a few symptoms since Friday, and your messages and posts have helped a huge amount.Also Basingstoke Festival of Transport was so good, I shall share the pictures on my next spotted update, which has somehow totalled over 200 photos since April, whoops.

Hey, flitting round the tat sellers at Miles Chumley Warner castle car show today I found this for a five spot...

 

 

 

 

 

So being bored and all that crap I thought I'd create something suitably shite...

 

 

 

 

[seth]

I am quite literally laughing out loud at that /\

[RedSparrow]

LOLZ @ CAV.If you take some shite to a classic car show, bung that on the bonnet and park next to a shiny Stag.

[Minimad5]

Shit I have another interview with a different company ....I know they are only interviews, but things seem to be looking up..As atleast my name is on the paper they own.Have not heard back from the Interview on friday, but i assume i will hear from them tomorrow (Which has been confirmed from the nice lady who phoned me just now.)HAPPY Ooh yeah my face hurts from sunburn -

Been in Pete-M's-ville today and will be most of the week. Have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the driving standards in Liverpool. Expected to be harrassed every five yards by angry motorists as is the norm in big cities when you're doing 10mph because you're lost, but people were actually really chilled and din't mind me doing 387 point turns in the rush hour on busy roads.

Had the 'attendance hearing' at work today. Guess what! Due to something called 'mitigating circumstances' I'm not going to be progressed. Wouldn't have had anything to do with my employment lawyer friend from Uni giving our HR rep a call would it?I celebrated by reading my 1988 issue of CAR at my desk and calling my colleague an arsecake.

[Mr H Sceptre]

Well done Wat! Nicely done Rusty! Finally got myself back into some sort of employment. Nothing spectacular but at least it keeps me away from the Job Centre.

[Parky]

Well done to you Rusty, that is truly an incredible achievement. Are you going to re-mortgage in order to pay for the Red Arrows to do a celebratory fly past? I bloody would!And as for you Wat, nice work! And a 1988 Car as well - is it full of Tipo's and Renault 19's??I have a second interview tomorrow for a fantastic job I have wanted for ages. Unbelievably I discovered it was supposed to be for today but some seriously quick thinking not only rearranged for tomorrow but earned a sympathy vote too. Something else that makes me smile is buying a share that goes up for a bloody change!

Best of luck with that !

[Parky]

Cheers Poly. Odds seem to be favourable as I know the interviewer really well and get on well with her. She knows I can do the job so I am quietly confident. Bet theres a third interview with some right ars*hole though!

[Lankytim]

Nice on WAT, they dont like it up 'em

Taking my parents for a meal if that counts , its pops birthday soon and they have helped a bit on this last little push, Both the wifes parents died within the last year and the small inheritance did help although she took the deaths really badly . We both worked really hard doing this , me on 12 hour days and the wife doing specialist nursing which she has since had to give up through stress , We are both going to slow down a fair bit now , I for one plan to retire at 55

[Parky]

Best of luck to you sir, sounds like you both thoroughly deserve a more relaxed pace of life.

I notice that regularly. Been doing a lot of driving in the Midlands lately and the driving in Birmingham especially is just rude. Nobody gives way, nobody says thanks, everybody gets irate and tries to squeeze past when there's no need to. Yet drive up Stratford Road and the driver in front will happily slam on the brakes and chat to pedestrians / other drivers for 5 minutes at a time without giving a toss about all the horns and shotguns going off behind them. I have never driven anywhere where the driving is less courteous, every time I go there I'm astounded at how badly they drive.Manchester is a piece of piss compared to Brum, London at rush hour is a positively chilled out experience.

[Claypole]

Polo I'm selling has 12 months MOT now to stick it to the txt spkrs moaning it only had a month left.

Manchester is a piece of piss compared to Brum, London at rush hour is a positively chilled out experience.

I remember being scared when I drove through London at around 10pm. I thought someone was going to shoot me. A black fellow was riding on a bike and collided with my car. He took the opportunity to point out it was my fault. He threw the bike on the floor and start saying 'What's your problem yeah? What's your problem yeah?'. Fuck knows, mate. I can see your problem is you falling into an extreme stereotype you fucking cunt. I probably would've got away with driving over his body with his bike underneath him, getting some strange thrill out of hearing bone and metal cracking. I don't know what it is with people trying to intimidate the driver of the car that's running and is about 1 foot from the bumper. Twat!

[Lankytim]

Everytime I return to Brum to visit my parents I always arrive in a foul mood because ive been cut up/honked at/ run off the road several times. It usually starts just as you exit the M6 and get onto the Aston Expressway.I dont really agree that standards in Liverpool are much better though. Its a stressful place for a lorryist!

[Parky]

Had second interview for dream job today. Went OK but didnt think I'd been particularly brilliant (nerves, unusual for me). Anyway, consultant calls me to say "nice work, they want to see you for lunch tomorrow - they're paying!"Ah yes, this makes me smile. If nothing else, its a free lunch and thats never a bad thing!

[Mr H Sceptre]

Sounds like you've got it in the bag Parky.

[Parky]

Ah, wouldnt say that. There's a fourth interview after this one apparently. I'm wondering if this is some kind of test - i.e if they pay that makes me a tightarse and not a team player, but if I insist on paying, it makes me a try hard, etc. Or they might just want to buy me lunch to chat about stuff of course...

[Pete-M]

Has just been promoted in work Less work, more wedge. Whoop!

[seth]

Nearly as good as all this uplifting career news, I had a Kit-kat earlier today and it seemed to have missed the biscuit machine so was almost 100% chocolate.
