Parky Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Got the cop job, and 3completed the psychometric for Public Trust. Scored very highly apparently (highest verbal reasoning result ever seen) but if the other candidate Is the bosses daughter it all comes to naught. I say I have the cop job but I now need to undergo a medical, and alcohol and drug test. Need references, police check and credit check but they are all clear so no worries there. Now is the time when I find out if Crohns prevents me from answering the telephone. First task will be to secure mortgage and buy a house. Second task is to buy a better car. Whilst rare, Alfa’s are pretty cheap here compared to the Japanese competition so might go in that direction. After all how tricky can it be to get parts for rare temperamental cars in this small city? Minimad5, Jon, LightBulbFun and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Told the financial adviser that I wouldn’t be joining. Expected her to go mental but she was really good about it. Seems she might have offered me a role without squaring it with the main man and there was a possibility he may say no. So it saved her a problem too. Now I shall continue my “Monkey” marathon. It’s nice to re evaluate this series considering I last saw it when I was 8. In summary Monkey is annoying, Pigsy is lazy but can fight a bit, Sandy is totally unnecessary. Tripitaka is surprisingly wise for a small girl masquerading as a boy and has many life lessons to be absorbed. Most importantly I now have some wicked ideas for my next fancy dress party.

Parky Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I suppose some sort of skateboard and some cotton wool might work. I probably shouldn’t spend too much time on this one though! ”oooh, what are you sketching now? Is it the redesign of the garden or the new kitchen?” ”Nope, working out how to make Monkeys cloud with a skateboard” ”I want a divorce” somewhatfoolish, Tickman and Mrs6C 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parky Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Fuxake. Cops now need me to do another series of psychometric and personality tests. The same ones I had to do for someone else earlier this week. No rush but if I could complete by the end of the 29th May that would be handy. Yes, today. One of the tests is a matching test where they show you an image and you pick the corresponding one from a choice of six. Easy enough if it is shapes or photos but instead they use bar codes. Yes, here are six supermarket bar codes, which is the same as the one at the top? They are all the same. The difference will be the 12 or 14 digit alpha numerical reference number at the bottom of the bar code which you have to match to the master image. Sounds ok but did I mention you have nine seconds to do this? And repeat it 25 times? Migraine inducing stuff. The rest of the stuff is ok. Things like “I like abusing my co-workers and disobeying orders”. Do you agree, disagree, or are you neutral about this? Theres a typing test but thta shoudl be ok as I am queit accuraet at tipi g Tickman, LightBulbFun, wuvvum and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerzy Woking Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Looks like Nathan at Dorothy's Speed Shop in North Devon has a few CT125's arriving in August to compliment the 8 Postie 110 bikes he has for his Tours. Seems someone is importing them from somewhere outside of Europe and offerred Nathan a few. hairnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The Antipodes have reclaimed their Postie Bike and have ordered the ship to bring it back I think. Unless the dock workers in Brisbane heard about how good it was and fancied a go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
