Hello one and all

Now I don't want to bore anyone but I do like to try and keep you all up to date with what's going on

As above it's a new year, 2007 don't ya know and I have just started a new job, I'm A Technical Operations Engineer now you know The new job entails working shifts which I haven't started yet as I'm training for a couple of weeks but then my 4 on 4 off rolling shift will begin. I get to do 7-7, 2 days then 2 nights and then 4 days off and repeat

This rolling shift does mean though that I may well be working some weekends and possibly even some last Thursday's of a month so my attendance at events will be dictated by 2 things - my shifts and money. Whilst you get more money for working shifts due to a fair bit of over exuberance with the plastic last year things ain't all rosey but they're improving

The biggest improvement is the fact that I picked up my car this morning after having had the head gaskets replaced cos I am now keeping her and have just put about 100 action packed and fun filled miles on the little beauty

So, happy new year to you all, I hope yours is going as well as mine is so far and I look forward to seeing you all at at least some of the events throughout 2007

 

Glad it's all coming good for you mate You'll love the shifts, suddenly being able to go places whilst everyone else is at w*rk, not having to queue, no screaming brats, everything open when you need it, the Yorkshire Dales free of traffic How anyone copes with 9-5 I don't know

 

Nice one I agree with Corradoboy, working shifts is so much better, its doing my head in having to do 9-5 atm

Guess this means you can give me lifts to the EOM now

 

It was touch and go for a while.. but that's brilliant news fella... welcome back

 

Car wise... mine's at Alton getting a new front end and they've given me...

wait for it...

What did Al have? A Polo?

Sticky gets a B class Merc

 

What happened to yours Sticky I sort of pieced together a roundabout, an Evo, a Police car and a front splitter from the last Dales run

PM me if you want it off board, ignore me if you don't want me to know, or I may be at Squires at the end of the month.

 

A what?

Merc? B Class?

You'd come up smelling of roses if you fell in a bucket of.....

Where's my stickers.. eh? eh?

 

Congrats Barry, nice to see you today, sorry I wasnt all there. hangover from last night(I'm too old for going out drinking)
All the best mate

 

Cheers Dave, yeah I have to say I am actually looking forward to the shifts and especially the roads being free from traffic

Simon, yep if you wanna a lift I'd be more than happy to oblige, I kinda reckon I owe a few now

It's good to be back Al

Oh dear Sticky, that's not good , will have to get the full story off ya next time I see ya

Yeah you were looking a little ropey Phil, now get your lazy **** down to one of the meets , EOM is a couple of weeks away yet so that should give you enough time to wash the Z!

 

Nice to see you kept it, and got it running on 4 legs again..

 

Just out of interest, what u driving mate, don't think i've ever seen yours....
