Naieve question, but I’d have thought that being head hunted meant you had the job If you wanted it?

I know nothing about it, but my son has been headhunted a few times. As I understand it....

You can be headhunted by a company with an internal headhunter, which probably means you have got the job if you want it.

Or headhunted by an external headhunting  firm, who recommend you to a company possibly along with a few other people.

The Company make the final decision.

Once you are on a headhunters books they tend to offer you other jobs as years go by. Mainly because they get huge commission, and it's easy money for them if they know you already.

I could technically take advantage of that Chinese offer . 

Not for much longer hopefully . Financial settlement done now just got to get the Decree Absolute and I’m a free man

....when I was at the Citroën rally in Coventry I had no news, no radio or internet for three days and it was bliss. Very relaxing and calming.

Achieved the same thing by going to Carmarthenshire for two weeks.

I hope someone saves the Astra but it won't be me for reasons of time space and money

Getting back to what I'm good at... 

I know it's only a Victoria sponge, but I've not baked for over 15 years.

I was young baker of the year for Greggs back in 2001, but lost the love after a while and just never bothered again.

the usual Formby "Mexican" stand off  ......

I was in no rush !

 

I was just passing the parked car  , when the blue car just drove out of the side road ... and stopped , and I stopped , and so did the white car ....  and we waited ,,,,

Thought I'd fire up Tinder as I'm in Kent. It's a bit different to Wales! I've swiped right on a Nova, a Ka, a Mercedes and a Savanna(h) so far. These ladies all seem rather glossy though.

And now a Binky! Is she packing something surprising up front?

Popped into Costco for fuel and stumbled across this impromptu meet - although none of the drivers were to be seen. Having the roof down, I got a good waft of that old Ford smell which was a real nostalgia hit.

Pictures taken with my car and my brothers modern Ford both looking absolutely outrageous in comparison. These really were beautiful.











This really made my day!

Parked next to a 2009 Audi A6 estate at the airport earlier, it was a taxi from Suffolk and I noticed the front end was quite stone chipped . 

So much for Audi paint quality ,I thought. Then I looked up the mileage- MOT'd last week at 347,000 miles, no advises !

I got confused/worried when I saw what you'd written but only the first photo, as I couldn't see the RX! You can achieve the same effect but in reverse if you park the RX next to a current Discovery, as I noticed last week.....

Good to see those Fords all looking so standard.

Old ford smell ? Damp and welding ?

Old ford smell - the smell of Fear Of Repeated Despair?

The smell of an appreciating asset.

I was heading home when I spotted a car I didn’t recognise in front, it was about 100yds away at first. From the look of it, it looked like a five year old with no eyes on a rollercoaster had attempted to copy the back end to a Rover 75. It was truly hideous and looked sooooo cheap. I assumed it was some Chinese monstrosity I had missed. Nope, as I got closer I noticed the unmistakable RR badge in the back. And to add to the ‘quality’ look the number plate was wonky. I was chuckling to myself all the way home. It’s the small things in life........

Had a lovely moment on the M5 last night where a young man in a rather new Golf R seriously underestimated the acceleration skills of a 22 year old 190,000 mile Saab Turbo...

Glad you didn't have a strange steering wheel accident on the way back!

Looked at Micra's front crossmember this morning. Minor surface rust and that is it! It's been refurbished before and was done properly it seems!
