I'm Back.
« on: January 05, 2008, 12:05:21 pm »
  As it say's I'm back in the land of the favored few  ;) ;D and looking forward to June  ;D
     Not been a good couple of years,  :'( got back from LM '06 to find I'd been made redundant - not funny when you're the wrong side of 50  {the age discrimination law is rubbish, believe me} - not much work for mechanics of my age, they all want young kids  ::) :o.
  So opted for retraining to take my class 1 HGV, trouble is the time involved in dealing with any govt body, and whilst waiting for the funding and then the training I wasn't allowed to do any sort of full time work or I lost the funding  ::) :o :( so became a "househusband".
   Not a lot of income, so cutbacks were made  :(
Got my class 1 and now back in full time work  ;D so will be at LM '08 looking forward to meeting you all again :D ;)
  Won't be posting during week as I'm away "tramping" into N. Europe all week  ;D  can only catch up at w/ends.

Skorpio,

Being the wrong side of 50 myself and now self employed. I can understand every word you said in more detail than most.

Well done and hope we meet soon.
At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.

I don't do GREEN, I've got a 4x4
