Glad your enjoying the nee job Frankie, sometimes a break is the best thing. I think a clean break from the company you where at for a while was also good. Fresh challenges and all that..

Hey perkles, at least you've got a target to work to (giggle) keeping the company going should stop you from getting bored lol.

Being a NIMBY

Lidl want to knock down the fitness first I use and the bowling alley to build a supermarket. There are 2 supermarkets within walking distance and another one planned.

So I've lodged an objection to the application

Blimey. Who'd have thought lidl is the new tesco.

I don't blame you, that would up the traffic further at the top of your road too :(

Think positive mate; You're now officially the forum's "go to guy" for technical advice on lifting platforms. (nod)

Just finished giving a tour of Triumph's assembly line. The conversation basically went;

"And we make stuff there, and this thingy goes in on of them things..... I dunno what this is....I think this is the vending machine"

Nothing will ever beat the Rocket III video Triumph did. A factory tour is going to be disappointing after that.

had my pin taken out yesterday was not as bad as i thought until the stupid bitch in the xray department ragged my hand around its not like they were in a big rush but wanted to move me around at 90 mph. i screamed like a girl and she said whats up ive had reconstructive surgery on my hand oh ....

also saw the phsyio who was really good told me a few home truths that if they did not intervene with my wrist it would gradually get worse as the first row of bones had gone (the ones they have tried to repair) then it would be the second row which would not take the strain. makes me mad as i had to push the doctors to do the op.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Are they starting factory tours again then? I enjoyed the trip we all made some years ago as 675.cc members, I still have my Cap that we were all given :)
