got cut up this morning coming to work twice ,
First time on the m61, know in small blue van pulls out just as I am a few metres behind his rear bumper (different lane) and he pulls out in front of me without even indicating, when he eventually moved back over I did the alongside thing but he wouldnt look at me
Second occasion was on the m60 doing motorway speeds and this **** pulls out in front of me (bearing in mind it was raining and the roads were wet) he did indicate though, I had to get into the outside lane (luckily my car permits me to do that ) so I pulled up along side and stayed level, nothing in front of me for a hundred yards or so, so I turned to him, he looked at me, and I gave him a load of $hit. He then disappeared into the inside lane and slowed down a bit

Afternoon - well its a sad day as 98% of the workforce for shepley have been flirted - theres only me and 3 of my store lads left until next friday then its goodbye 
we have to help stocktake and get rid of the stock back to the suppliers
Well pissed off that im only getting 7 years redundancy rather then 10 because of my age
It was sad seeing everyoone go as weve all known each other a bloody long time
Anyone any jobs
Im tempted to have 4 weeks off depending on what notice pay im entitled to all being well its 10 weeks but im not sure

F**kin hell mate i'm sorry to hear that
Without sounding daft get onto an agency.
My buudy got laid off as a production manager of 16 years at a CCTV manufacturer, he's had loads of job offers since joining agencies.
hes currently at a place paying him 26k a year, and yet his offers keep coming. he's just been offered a 30k a year job.
good luck mate keep us posted

been busy today on the old car front, fixing my sisters MGF 
everytime i go near it something else wants doing
had to do the waterpump , so the timing belt was replaced at the same time
taking it for a spin shortly see how goes
think the coldstart is fooked, seems tobe choking up, will see after i've cleared it out

had a look at scoobysportjay's vw golf,
he took it vw garage in walkden to check out engine mount , they said it needed gearbox one, i thought no problem , when i open the bonnet, its the engine mount bolted to engine block on drivers side, anyway after a bit of stripping things out the way i could see the bolt had snapped and one half was stuck in the engine block
he had it 3 weeks, so i put standard filter and dump valve back on and told to ring the trader he got it from, it could be engine out job
luckily the cambelt hadn't snapped!! it was rubbing on the engine mount which had worn the outside of the teeth away
got to take it to stockport tomorrow morning, traders garage, they will have to do FOC
