looks like I was LUCKY to get cast off by the AA a couple of years ago,at least I've had time to get over it and used to it..
BryanC as we all sympathise can I say that with your attitude I'm bloody sure you will pull through the crap and see us all there next year
(If I can get there myself next year-- diminishing returns takes over after a while)
Guys, those I see in France, I'll raise a glass to, those I don't I'll raise a glass for!
I know, its just an excuse for me to have a drink they all say!

Guys
Thanks for all your kind words - sadly no punch line but I've retained my sense of humour and irreverence even if the tone is what it is.
I can honestly say that where I've been registered for 6 years on the Forum, I visit at least once a day but post much less often, so the regulars are regarded as close buddies even though I don't know them directly nor stay at the 'animal house' sites close to the circuit having found a good camping spot out of town, and where a gimp suit is less essential for drinking dress.
It's not for me to advise people to 'chill' but we are not here for practice. Make the most of it and if you do get to le Mans this year, think of us back home drinking only best bitter, eating cheddar cheese, sliced white bread and all the other lesser cr@p we have to give up when we cross the Channel.
Right - starting right now, I'm out on the Saturday night session. Catch you later.
Regards
BryanC

Had an interview this morning at a previous client. 2 going for same job. Both have worked with the client, he more recently. The interviewer knows me and I have got them out of trouble in the past. Gave a glowing written reference from thier Director. Apparently I was not pro-active enough! With my history with them, I didn't think I needed to be. My trouble seems to be that on seeing construction drawings, I can visualise. So do not need to ask questions unless I see a problem. The other guy got the job! Construction is complicated but the need to be at running pace is essential and think instantly - THATS ME. sh*te happens.  Based on the above, I will not be attending on this very dry/hot and momentous CA BN campsite. I'm the organiser for our group and I cant afford to go |

Bryan,
That really is sh*t by the skip load, dropped from a great height repeatedly. All respect to you for that post. And if someone can offer you a trip out there with them this year, take it!

Kicking him when he's down!
I reckon the other bloke said he'd work on the cheap, that's what we are finding, they won't be able to keep their business going in the long term but they will work for peanuts now.
Keep your pecker up Leftie,
the next one will stick.
Are you up in Westbourne by any chance?

Things might be looking up.
Just did a jobsearch and Havant BC have got a job 'just up my street' so will be applying this morning.
It became available yesterday.
Weird really, the spec says fully chartered and the rest of the crap, but then say experience! without the qual's etc. umm.
At the rate they are paying, I'd break their frigging arm.

I probably posted somewhere else that I was laid off last Friday, statutory minimum after 21 years, altogether a bit of a pi$$er.
I'd planned to do the Chicago Blues Festival followed by a road trip down the south and back for most of June, which would have ruled me out of LM. Not that I can really afford it, but it was a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Now those plans have been scuppered, because the Mrs found me 9 weeks work at her place - 3 days a week, including right through the night every Sunday. So now I can't do LM OR the States.
Next challenge will be getting to Edinburgh for some comedy in August....

S**t Smokie, I am sure a man of your Caliber will find somthing soon, shame about Chicago and LM, join the ranks of looking forward to next year. Having said that, I just launched a new product on my web site - a Fathers Day Diabetic Hamper...and when is Fathers day?  doh, probably cut short my opportunity for anything more than Friday to Monday at LM in the future. |

Clucking Bell - Smokie - What a total sh*t thing after 21 years, I bet it will be the minimum redundancy pay, and thats bloody hard as well.
Good to see you have a stop gap job, to help in the short term. Hope it all goes well.
Good luck in the future. - Try and keep smiling.
