Confirming that it's not what you know but who you know.

 

Applied for a part time job I've no experience in at all - only cleaning so not rocket science though.

 

My CV was forwarded to the boss by someone I knew at my old job who does the HR for that and this new company (same owner).

Had an informal chat about the job etc. and was offered it there and then.

 

The boss threw the folder with what looked like 40 odd CV's in it into a drawer... no interview for any of those folks...

Nice one, congratulations.

Granted, Ive been to quite a few places this week, but theyve all been local (within 12 miles, either way), and there is an astonishing amount of tat still around, best week for spots ever.

After a week in France, I now have a severe case of Shiters Neck*

 

 

*Y'know, neck strain from noticing some old rammle as you drive past and spin your neck like a bloody owl to have a perv

Getting a letter from the Man (tax man) with a £100 cheque....bloody glad it wasn't a demand for £100.....

[eddyramrod]

Always nice to see a cheque come in! I had a message from the agent dealing with our UK house recently: she's managed to let it for more than I expected, which is doubly marvellous news. Letting it at all is pretty good, but for more...!

Where has this lot come from suddenly?, checking my stats over 13000 hits have come from Flickr to my Street Rod Nationals set, i wonder where they are finding the link from?.

 

After putting this on here on Wednesday, I've gone on to flickr today to see this!

 

 

and in the 1/2 hour of uploading this screen shot I've had another 4000 hits!

Just a question, how do you get such high views on Flickr? I have tripled my photostream to over 1200 in less than a year and I still get the same amount.... Its not to do with tags is it?

[trigger]

I think it is to do with tags, I've tagged everything, I list every car's make and model and just copy and paste it into the tag box so i think they come up everytime someone googles something.

 

This is what I've have at the moment Tayne

 

[Pillock]

Yeah, but only a tiny percentage of your hits are from google.com and images.google.com - the rest appear to originate at Flickr.

 

Maybe they've changed their search system? It's hard to believe 85,000 people so far today have typed search strings that match what you've got, compared to a fraction of that a few weeks back. How odd.

[eddyramrod]

Woohoo! I just noticed I've got rid of the "Austin Maxi" tag and I'm now a "BL Wedge." Much better, exactly as in real life.

I've just got back from trudging round Beaulieu all day - horrible jouney home but I literally "L-O-L"d at one point. I'd spent the whole time there keeping an eye out for anything Borgward and hit a complete blank. Then what happens? I see a club stalwart driving his Isabella Combi the other way on the M3 on the way home

 

Oh I also met Mr Bickle! A pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Trigger - if you click on flickr you will get a breakdown of what people searched for, where they came from etc.

 

It seems that they are all coming from here http://www.flickr.com/photos/triggersca ... ate-taken/

 

I haven't a clue why though, I'm up to 92000 hits now for today!

I bet the guy who owns that Volvo is a complete flake.

GR8 4 GETTIN PULLED BY THE FUZZ

 

 

I've fancied a hearse in Mk2 Granada flavour for years, but purchasing such a vehicle would result in me living in the thing. Women eh..?! They just don't get it sometimes

[scaryoldcortina]

My wife would love a hearse. She'd be over the moon if I bought a sheddy mk2 granada corpse shifter. Unfortunatly, I wouldn't be seen dead in one.

Got Faecesbook?

this won't do anything to change your mind.

Pollyanna on The Gadget Show. I thought Suzi Perry was hot, but this new presenter is rather pleasant on the eye. I approve.

Our daughter Neve finally joined us on Wednesday night at a healthy 8lbs & 7oz

 

Everyone okay and back home this afternoon.

 

[barrett]

Congratulations sir! Hope all is well, and rather you than me an all that.

 

I'm happy cause Autoshite is back online! and I only have 3 days left at work! And i'm about to make some massive pizzas for dinner! And, going through the pile of free practical classics I found, I've read about Seth's Herald and that lovely blue RX-3 from retro rides. Good stuff guys!

Congrats Gearoil!, I'll be starting my second wave of IVF treatment next month so fingers crossed it be my turn in the next 10 months or so.

 

It's great to have Autoshite back BTW!

Should it not be Mrs Trig getting the IVF treatment?

[trigger]

I guess so, It's a joint thing, Though the wanking into a cup in the IVF clinic is an experience i wasn't hoping to go through again.

Just waltz in with some Toyota Corona brochures, flexing your knuckles. Everyone will give you the space you need.

[Vin]

I was gonna say, I hope they give you some privacy, or do they expect you to have one off the wrist in the waiting room....

 

I'm enjoying the return of AS, but I'm currently listening to an album called 'Le Pop' by Katzenjammer which is giving me big
