Yes you going ?
No, but one of my work mates appears to be in the same boat as you, as in he got told he was going for the week and he had to lump it!
If you see a monobrowed dwarf in a RAF uniform wishing the week was over, that'll probably be him!

I've no idea either.
All I know is we're an instructor down for the week just because somebody somewhere wanted a tick in the box.

I get the feeling someone higher up thought it could be used as a recruiting event or something like that, but taking a Warrior or whatever they've got down there is hardly cutting edge technology to get people excited!

Just do what I do and go and wind up the competition, hours of fun. This year at ECO Build I was physically removed from a stand, and it passes the time

Reading a load of unused prosecution material on a massive construction site case.
The list of references is 14 pages long. Then there are 4 pages of abbreviations and acronyms.
I may take up drinking at my desk.

Got laid off 2 weeks ago so just pottering about. I gave my STR's headers a going over with autosol yesterday. Took some of the discolouration out but there's still some ingrained staining. I feel I may look into getting some better quality stainless or Ti headers and a 3-1 system. The belly pan was disgusting when I took it off so I'm going to get it in the bath for a good scrub.

Belly pan cleaned and polished and fitted. One thing lead to another, I removed the passenger pegs. God, they're heavy. It's cleaned up the back end loads
Also took the visor off the flyscreen, unfortunately the flyscreen had to be drilled for it to fit so I've got 3 big shiny screws on show now. Ah well.
