Another day wasted by recruitment companies, go here, go there ,with no guarantee of employment.

So the next one that rings me up promising work in a far flung part of the UK they can do one.

Sympathise with you, matey. It's an 1.5 hour drive just to get to the motorway for you so, yeah...must be pissing you off.

It's not only that Ro, when I arrive at the destination I'm fked about.
"Oh sorry but you need to see so and so at our other depot".
Or "HR is not here today can you come back tomorrow"
WTF I'd just driven over 200 miles at the promise of an interview from these recruitment agency people and no one knows nothing when I get there.
Petrol is not cheap it adds up after the last two weeks and pissed off with empty promises.

Rant over.

Don't loose faith, fella... just loose that idiot agency.

[Grandpad58]

Which one there are dozens.
I have never used these people before in my 40 years, it's always been of my own back or an employer contacting me, not these monkeys.

Wages are a day late due to the bank holiday. 5months I've worked there and nobody thought to warn me

[BigGingerBob]

I will need to add business milaege onto my car insurance for a job I am (hopefully!) starting soon.
I have recently moved to Hatfield from Torbay and so I decided to see how much car insurance differed from place to place... It's bloody doubled!! £320 cheaper in Devon!

Driving the Gotthardpass in August

I am absolutely st scared of heights

I cannot think of a set of circumstances that would induce me to travel on that whether as driver or passenger

There are parts of the Gravelly Hill Interchange which I struggle with

Nice sixty mile round trip this afternoon to see a client

Music provided by Metallica (first play of the Metallica album) and the Patti Smith Group's Easter album, good driving music both

I see a bend like that and want to go drifting round it... the height just adds awesomeness

Especially if you have a mate with a helo mounted camera

Leafy, the only thing drifting in my case would be me into unconsciousness

[leafspring]

I must admit all my drifting has been in a LWB Land Rover, wearing off road bias crossplies, on extremely wet/icy roundabouts at extremely low speeds

She just won't slide on the Michelin Radials

Weird crush.

Alia Shawkat.

Admittedly it would be like bumming a freckle.

Saw a M135i earlier....

What an entirely unremarkable car it looks.

No wonder the M clique don't want to let it in.....

Not that weird.

Quite cute.....

You could hold out a bag with 10 grand of used notes in it and say it's mine if I drive that bend and I still couldn't do it. I could not physically do it.

You are not alone br d, you are not alone, much more than that or a live threat to kill someone dear would probably be the only proposals that would do it The resultant recurring nightmares (I have two or three heights related ones a year now, much less than when I was younger) wouldn't be pleasant

[iva cosworth]

Not sure if my BiL uses the St Gotthard when driving to Italy.

I don't go through Switzerland on my usual route and don't fancy driving that rollercoaster....

[Grandpad58]

I feel a tad better now.
