Hi all, a vacancy has come up in my department, looking for someone with at least ONC Electronics. Working on quality hi-fi, we test, fault-find to component level, build and program jigs etc. Anyone interested? Mail me a copy of your CV please, mail in profile.

You out Salisbury way, then? ’tis my weekend haunt much of the time!

I couldn’t do it, but for those looking for a job, Salisbury is a lovely, lovely place to be based. Some great riding, a sublime bike shop and surrounded by villages with the finest beers! Oh, and there’s some good stuff brewed there locally, Stonehenge and HopBack being the finest.

Yep, I live in Wilton. Love it here, was in Fovant first, then Great Wishford so I’m spiralling ever closer to town… You’re a bit of an enigma on here aren’t you? If I lob Pip a few cakes I might be able to unmask you 😉 Are you coming on the Purbeck ride? Still looking for someone to lead a fast group.

Does Pip look like a man who needs any more cake? 😉

No, but he wants it 😉

Do you work for Naim Rich?

Rich

Any room for a “fast learner”? 😉

I don’t have any qualifications in electronics, but do learn quick. I did design and build a PCB for a 10 LED battery voltage tester as part of my engineering degree though, and got 95% grade for it!!! hehe

What’s your email address anyway Rich?

Yes sq, it’s a great place to work!

Mark, email is rjpenny1@yahoo.com. Send me a CV, do you have any practical experience of electronics or is all your work mech based?

Don’t want to hijack the thread but any Security Consultant/Pen Testers around? I’m looking to jump ship and there may be a role to replace me (i’m the boss so hopefully get to make the call).

Wheres the good bike shop. You talking about Stonehenge near the station? Haven’t been there much since leaving college in ’90.
Wilton? worked at wilton house when my firm were re-doing the roof and stuff in the late 80’s when i was an apprentice.

Agreed, lovely city, had many good nights at the arts centre / church.

Or you could live somewhere nice like Andover and commute!!

‘ampshire and proud

Andover? Nasty! Well, it has a BMX track, Bendicks and Twinings, but really…….

Stockbridge, however, top place!

Yep, we were talking about Stonehenge. A truly great LBS

Stockbridge, nothing but antique shops and tractors.

Stockbridge – Robinsons and Robjents. What more do you need?

Lane End is awfully good too!

No antique shops though. That’s Hungerford!

Done a lot of work around that way, seemed to spent a lot of days as a kid running round danebury rings too. Not from in town, village boy through and through (Bourne valley}

Too true about Hungerford, ever ridden there over Coombe gibet hill? STEEP

p.s. sorry for hijak

We’re looking for an IT help desk role in South Manchester. My email address is in profile.

Stockbridge – Robinsons and Robjents. What more do you need?

Meal in the Greyhound? Is the food still good there?

I moved to Wilton about 3 years ago and I’ve barely had time to ride since.

Been up to Grovely a few times but haven’t found anything really nice … where should I be looking?

I need some inspiration!

Rich, I was just wondering being a Naimee myself, I’m marketing, not electronics.

Salisbury, Wilton, Grovelly, Naim… could a thread get much better??
Dorset knob, there’s some lovely riding around, and Grovelly is great to ride in… I think anyway. There’s a cool track I call “The Fun Path” weendy windy woodland singletrack.
Rich is my bike buddy, we could show you around one day if you wanted. I’m not a banana, I guess you’re not a knob! 😉

Come to think of it though, Captain Flashheart actually could be Pip.
Only comes to Salisbury on a Saturday to work in his busy shop.
Always promoting it on here.

Have they ever been seen in the same room? CaptainPip, reveal thyself!

Thanks annabananna – I think I should drag my lazy arse out and get some miles in before I take you up on the offer, though. Honestly, I’ve only ridden my bike about 4 times in the last 5 years, so could probably only get up one hill before expiring.

I might get back in touch when I feel capable of lasting more than half an hour. 🙂

Good to know there’s stuff out there, thought there must be just from driving round, but not had the chance to get out and find it. 🙁

Cheers
DK

😆

Do it DK! Get in touch whenever you fancy a tour. Bit of an uphill mission to get into Grovelly, but lovely all the way back to Wilton.

I see no protestation from CaptainPip…

I need some inspiration!

Though Mendip born n’ bred, I spent a couple of years living near Salisbury (in Broad Chalke) on account of Dr Noteeth senior working at Odstock hospital. Coming from a land of precipitous limestone, I expected to be disappointed by the riding… but in high summer, it’s pretty good. Mint Sauce landscapes, atmospheric hill-forts and endless, rolling turf – with sneaky singletrack here and there. Must get back out there sometime…
