    Not an interview but part of my personal assessment
    “And how do you see your future with the company?”
    “I’d see a future with this company as an admission of defeat”
    Next contract not renewed for some reason.

    Make sure there’s one of these stuck to the plane.
    Make sure teachers (and everyone else) knows there’s one of these stuck to the plane
    Everyone knows that these let you do anything

    It’s quite surprisimg how much lying in the back of an ambulance with the blue light flashing, a gas mask on and wires and crap stuck to you can make you realise how much you appreciate some things.

    They do but there is a story that they only work if you’re in the same lane when you pass the second camera as you were when you passed the first. When this circulated up here the cops roundly condemned this type of irresponsible behaviour but never said yes or no to whether this true or not.

    Junky,
    I once asked for an egg butty, the egg was dropped into the chip frier, the white wrapped round the yolk like a parcel. The effing thing exploded when I bit into it, spraying me and my nice white shirt with egg yolk and hot fat.

    mmmmmmmm danger food

    Work with computers and x-ray equipment in hospitals
    It’s good, but NHS politics are a pain
    Money’s reasonable
    However, one day I’ll sneak a spider into one of the rooms, irradiate it, make it angry then when it bites me I’ll have super powers. unfortunately I live in a town with very few tall buildings, so the web slinging opportunities are pretty limited

    Picked up a bottle of Auchentoshan cos it was cheap at tesco. At the opposite end of my normal taste spectrum (peated, sherry cask, auchentoshan is neither).
    Blown away, lovely, light refrshing taste.
    Got a Fettercairn Fior for normal taste sensations.

    And for somethintg special, I’ll recommend a Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban – a couple of months in a port barrel does amazing things to the cratur

    I’m on Orange and have been for years. Upgrade before last Phones4u got me the phone I wanted (Motorola Defy, not available through Orange) as wellas reducing my contract rate whilst staying with orange. Shopped around this year, and upgrade through the orange shop worked.
    So no, they don’t – shopping around pays
    EDIT – should have added that whereI don’t know abut comparison sites, Phones4U were open to haggling within reason

    (And a geeky whistle-stop at the train museum probably).

    You’re not seriouly considering going to York and not going to the train museum are you?
    20 miles north of York is the North Yorkshire Moors Railway[/url]
    Nowt to do with places to stay, but steam trains. And not terribly far away is the New Inn and Cropton Brewey[/url] – B&B&Brewery.

    Tell them you don’t deal with the travelling community.
    If they don’t like that, tell them to behave like a proper business

    If the weathers decent, out to South Queensferry and a boat tour to Inchcolm island.
    Mary King’s Close is a definite.
    National Gallery on Princes St, if galleries are your thing.
    Wander round the Old Town.
    I like the Camera Obscura at the top of the Royal Mile,
    Edinburgh castle looks great, especially from Princes St gardens, but it’s massively overrated inside. If you want a decent castle, head for Stirling, Stirling Castle is what Edinburgh should be.

    Again. Im guessing the RR driver was inpatient/beeping being held up

    Obviously, because as motorbikes have neither the top speed nor acceleration of a 2 ton tank, Range Rovers are always being held up by motorbikes.

    From what i’ve read the bikers started it, and were brandishing weapons at the driver and his wife, then brake checked it and got what was coming to them. If that happened to me i’d run over their bikes too.
    Then what? Your highly tuned keyboarding abilities have developed the skills to outrun a bunch of motorbikes in a Range Rover? You’d have jumped out the car and given them all, each and every one of them, a damn good thrashing?

    I did that just for you, seen as you like to assume people are to stoopid/stupid to click on a link. And being a pedant doesn’t reinforce your point, whatever it was supposed to be (be careful in your choice of Australian chiropractors, but trust BMA registered GPs?)

    oooh thanks for pasting the text from the article in the link because some of us are too stoopid to click on links. I will now refrain from travelling to the other side of the world to receive treatment from dodgy chiropracters

    I’d say there’s at best a tiny eff all chance you’ll change anyone’s behaviour by confronting them

    unless you’re wearing ablue uniform and driving acar with a blue flashing light on top. IME, the kind of arse who just NEEDS to yak on his phone and can’t be bothered with ahands free won’t be bothered by a cyclist having a go. It;s more likeley to end in violence than change behaviour, and that can lead to more conversations with the cops than ypu’d probably enjoy

    im hoping to do a crash course

    really?

    Anyway, I’d skip this year on a 125 carry on, too small, too limited, too vulnerable. Do it all in one go then go for something like a Bandit, Fazer or SV650. Physically bigger will make you feel more confident (maybe miplaced), and confidence means you’ll relax and enjoy yourself. And not having to rev the tits off it all the time means you’d be more likely to skip out the town for a blast, and riding for fun is how you shoot up the learning curve
