[Holdup]

Hey hey hey

Any one got any sympathy for a umeployed person? :(

[andrewsmith]

[minimorecambe]

Will this do? - :smt058

[Holdup]

why whats happened mate?

I havent got a job

Honda have revoked their franchise from the company

Will this do? - :smt058

I su'pose

At a lose end now actually dont know how i should feel

[andrewsmith]

s*** sorry to here that mate.

How manys been finished or has the firm went Belly up (no pun intended)?

Mate give yourself 3 days to pull your head round then start. I've been there, Daz still is there. The best advice I can give you is to do the Dole paperwork tomorrow and start that rolling and get ur CV sorted over the weekend and start job hunting on Monday.

It doesn't matter what the f*** it is a job is a job these days

[DarrenSV650S]

Unlucky jamesy g string. Join the club. Told u to start looking when they mentioned redundancy

[Holdup]

The company itself exists still at the moment but Honda have just said no more franchise and with no Honda we have no new bikes or parts.

Just been told, dont come back basicly, still awaiting official you have no job.

[andrewsmith]

James start looking mate.

They said why they've pulled the plug?

[DarrenSV650S]

Come up here I'll get u a job at Dominos lol

[Holdup]

:thumright:

we we're just having a much better computer system put in as well which would save us a bit of money and make everything so much more efficent, poor bloke who was doing the installing and training seemed more shocked than us when he was told and then had to remove all the hard ware and take it away lol, bet he's never experienced that before

[andrewsmith]

u enjoying it still mate?

any luck on the rigs yet?
BP are after men atm, i'll dig out the ad if ur wanting it

[DarrenSV650S]

It's not bad actually. Sister and her bf work here plus I know a few people from before so it's ok.

[Holdup]

Pah at least you have to worry about what to do for one day

[Milky Bar Kid]

Run in your new car which you so rudely never answered as to what it was?

When did you ask?! Sorry, I never saw you commenting!

It's a BMW 118D SE, 3 door in Storm or Space or something similar Grey....

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Meh, I like it. And it handles brilliantly!

[Fruity-ya-ya]

[Fruity-ya-ya]

My favorite when things get really boring, race rain drops down a window?

[Reeder]

Meh, I like it. And it handles brilliantly!

Well in that case you'll be happy to know that I've forgiven you then and I still love you. Good choice getting a diesel btw.

[Fruity-ya-ya]

I woke up five mins ago. My iPod in dying so after I have done all the things I've just suggested MBK I'll be back on to check on your level of boredom.

Reeder - I felt bad not getting you a tin cup for the AR so I've bought you a folding cup (well it was a pack of 2).
Don't get too excited as it is not suitable for hot drinks and tbh holds about a thimble full. as they say 'it's the thought that counts'.

[Reeder]

I'll give you a hand shake for you troubles fruity. You're a good man.

[Milky Bar Kid]

Well in that case you'll be happy to know that I've forgiven you then and I still love you. Good choice getting a diesel btw.

Phew, thank god for that! Was worried about how I was going to cope! Yeh, I like diesel cars!

[Wideboy]

I need it to rain so I can clean my car off the way home and turn on the TC

[Wideboy]

Oh yes and its luncheon time

So how's the boredom MBK?
The Lint London eye was a disaster!

The first passengers totally ignored my 'no smoking' sign and the whole lot went up in a flash.

[Wideboy]

I have been, I've done nothing since 12, I told then yesterday that I'd stay later to finish the job otherwise I have to come in tomorrow to do 2 hours work, they said no so I got here at 7 dragged the job out until 12. Can't start anything else as I'm off next week so I'm stood around until 3.30 but still have to look busy encase someone comes in.....???????

Still I'm getting paid for it, its first time I've stopped at work this year I think. Been busy hence not on here spouting ny verbal diarrhea like normal

[Reeder]

My managers and MD have gone for a business lunch so I bought all us 'lesser' folks a load of ice creams in and we've been sitting chatting for the last hour :D

I love you Gav.

[dizzyblonde]

muahahahahaahhaahhaaaa

[Reeder]

Oi, get out of here.

[dizzyblonde]

NO:smt116

[Milky Bar Kid]

Nom nom nom - fresh peppers and houmous!!

[Reeder]

Oh ok.

Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes until home time. YAY!

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Off to B&Q to buy some bits to finish off the bath install.

Sooooooooooooo, do I:

a) Buy a cheeky butty from the van in the car park
b) Be a good lad & have a salad sandwich before I go.
c) Have every intention of being a good lad & make the sandwhich then have a butty as well?

I will let the org decide but be warned, I'm otta here at 3

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Okay, going for option d) which is option a) but via a cash point first.
See you lot later.

[Wideboy]

Thank you reeder

Approximately 15 mins for me. All our desk jockies have gone on an all expenses paid trip to ascot, pretty sure my invite was miss placed

Bye Mr yaya

[Reeder]

I reckon B personally Fruity but you've already been drawn in by the dark side!

Ascot would suck anyway.

[Wideboy]

Oh yes but its all about team building, talking to the kunuggets that look down at me

[Fruity-ya-ya]

Morning orgtown.

Quiet in here!

I reckon B personally Fruity but you've already been drawn in by the dark side!

Ended up going for option E) Got to B&Q and got wrapped up in buying bits for the bath and then got home before remembering I was going to have a greasy butty, had ham & beetroot salad. Must have been psychic R.

[fenjer]

evening!

[andrewsmith]

ohla jen

you ok?

[fenjer]

Not so bad Mr Smith, yourself?

[andrewsmith]

I'm not too bad
Annoyed that me weekend has been 1 very wet day :(

[fenjer]

Aye, was the gala day here yesterday, kids got soaked.

Today has been no bad, but finding a jubilee clip for a 6mm fuel hose has been a bloody nightmare, might have to resort to tie clips at this rate..

[andrewsmith]

so it'll be sniffles all round tomorrow
Jen halfords sell the fuel hose clips there £2 for 2 i think

[fenjer]

Nearest halfrauds is in Livingston I think...might pop in after work on evening. Struggling to fit the fuel pipe onto the join whilst holding up the full fuel tank and pliers anyway...need an extra hand. lol

[andrewsmith]

and I'm guessing Cupar is the nearest dealers
I'd give lance a PM see if he can help

[fenjer]

Already spoken to lance, he hasn't got time, and I dont have enough bikits!

[andrewsmith]

:lol:

I'm trying to think who's local to you now

[peterco]

Nearest halfrauds is in Livingston I think...might pop in after work on evening. Struggling to fit the fuel pipe onto the join whilst holding up the full fuel tank and pliers anyway...need an extra hand. lol

Halfords


Central retail Park Falkirk..

Springkerse Retail park Stirling..

[fenjer]

I dont think the Falkirk one is there anymore, and I'm closer to livingston if I'm at work than I am to stirling.

[andrewsmith]

I would have said Berlin as he's loitered around Edinburgh for a couple of years, but he's now the other side of the pond

[fenjer]

Ach, no worries, it'd be easy enough to get it on if I had a hand, my dad will be along tomorrow, see if I can bribe him into helping.

[andrewsmith]

the clips are fiddliy.

Its easier if the tanks propped. A 12" piece of wood on the headstock is stable enough

[fenjer]

hmmm, well, seeing as I cant get clips i'm having to resort to cable ties.

seriously, i asked the guy in the garage for a clip for a 6mm fuel pipe, he handed me a jubilee clip about 2" in diameter.

[andrewsmith]

Jen PM me your address i'll go nab you some on me lunch tomorrow as I work around the corner from halfords

[fenjer]

S'ok, I'll grab some after work. Thanks though. :)

Aww, the org are such a lovely bunch.

[andrewsmith]

I do find a mechanic giving you a jubilee clip quite funny tho!

other people have done it for me on here, so may aswell return the favour

[Bibio]

if all else fails then just wrap a piece of copper/steel wire round the pipe then twist the ends with a pair of pliers till tight. failing that then use a cable tie.

[Viney]

Woohoo, 1st in this morning

*Flick kettle on, sits down puts feet ont he table and reads the paper*

[andrewsmith]

ey up anyone here???

[Fruity-ya-ya]
