Congrats on the job, Supernaut! Well deserved.

Go have a word with yourselves!

Just got confirmation of a stand at the NEC for the Practical Classics Restoration Show with Discovery for March! Great show so looking forward to it. Oh, we will be getting a discount code for tickets that I will be happy to pass on (to AS members only of course!)

Tech related, sure, but the shonky effort they made with the pictures and the hilarious description made me smile.

Got a letter from a bank that I had a credit card with years ago - I closed it maybe five years ago.

 

They made a miscalculation on the interest and have sent me a cheque for a refund.

 

Of £3.26.

It was my birthday yesterday and received a trolley jack as my main gift. This was great as I left my one that I'd had 10 years in a certain bloody Honda Civic that I scrapped not so long ago.

I was working in deepest darkest Normandy today and came across some old Reading Evening Standard Reading Rock specials from the early eighties.

In amoungst the hairy arsed rockers were some car adds.

Here's some:

Umm on a collection mission posted on FB, not me (mines still broken) but this should be travelling down the M6 from Cumbria later today with another Umm on the trailer.

Umms all over the place, yay,

I can report multiple sightings of another UMM in the wild around the Horsham, West Sussex area this year!

Don't know whether to laugh or be annoyed someone actually did this :

The BBC had one of those boxes to open their emergency safe of emergency broadcast records. I do like those civil defence videos.

I had an identical letter from Vanquis from a credit card I had years ago when I was stupid for exactly thr same amount!

 

And Supernaut, you can afford that Fiat Punto you've always dreamed of now

Hmm. Mine was Vanquis too.

 

I was amused by some FCA auditor finding such a small discrepancy on my account, but it would mount up if they'd done it to everyone!

Just parked up at home and noticed the mileage on the Sharan.

Just had a phone call.

 

I start a new job on the 7th of January. I'll be providing remote support for satellite comms stuff. The pay is significantly more than what I was on at my previous role.

 

Fuck yeeeaaaaah! The interview was only on Monday, so that was bloody quick!

Nice one.

New year, new start, new direction to focus technical interest, etc.

Still based Abdn area?

I know its the Daily Mail.... But, a guy selling a TT on eBay for £15k.... Guy offers £6k then calls him a time waster for saying no. Then the seller sends him on a small goose chase.

Nuh-uh. I never mix work and pleasure.

It's ready!  Shame it's coming in the post instead of me picking it up in person.  Quite possibly the nicest SU carb to ever grace a Princess.

Just managed to get another test server on the road despite me not knowing how to linux. The Ubuntu help website is really useful for this. Now to see how fast writing to this godawful slow drive is...

Well done Supernaut!
