Do you have an expanding reamer?
Don't set them off, Dicky, it's too early in the morning.
It's a perfectly legitimate question.
Perhaps, but by the time they've involved every variety of innuendo and Battert and Mrs Brassington we'll be here all day.
There are worse places.
Funny you asking that. We wondered if they were meant to be reamed but apparently not. Don't set them off, Dicky, it's too early in the morning.

A little bit of this and a little bit of that, nothing solid in any career path, the last job interview I had went alright apart from the fact I had a year gap in employment, which they didn't like, its now been 6 months again... 
Several people I know are in need of staff - desperate in fact - but not in your area. One has been looking for 3 months for a general mechanic to work on classic cars and only had one reply to the ads and that was someone retiring in 3 months.V6Pushfit said:

I'm not that fussed about travelling unless it's like 100 miles away from Birmingham... Hmm, my original career path I wanted when I was at school was a mechanic but I never really went ahead with starting to move towards it.
Change of plan. I was going to post some of the lyrics from Canned Heat's On the Road Again but viewed in isolation they're a bit pathetic. You would have read them and demanded I pull myself together.
Pulling myself together now.
I'm on the road again. Or I will be when I've finished my cup of tea.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Should perk things up a bit I'd have thought

Hello chap, what is your area? I'd be interested in a mechanics position.
They are in Suffolk. Very good bunch there and do Lotus/Jaguar/TVR etc classics. They are in desperate need of a decent all rounder but can't find one!If I needed a job I would go there like a shot as its well run and very long term.

Steppenwolf to energise the day. Marvellous. Most famously from the soundtrack of Easy Rider. I recommend the Easy Rider and Good Morning Vietnam CDs to young folk in need of a flavour of the times. Get your motor runnin'

A few weeks ago I delivered an X5 to a village five miles shy of Land's End. As it's a big old chunk I drove it there and came back on the train rather than use the truck. It was a beautiful day, I started early and stopped for a break just inside Cornwall. Normally I'm a tea man but that day I had a coffee and a croissant standing by the car in the sunshine. In my head I was en route to Le Mans. I have to tell you that was a really good feeling. I'm not going to Le Mans this year. No, today I'm going to Tamworth to fetch a poorly Mini we sold a while ago. But, hey, I'm in Tamworth Services having a coffee and a croissant so its not all bad.

To all going to Le Mans you are a bunch of lucky bds, wish I was coming with you, maybe next year? 
3000, yay go me
At this particular point I don't know wether I'm either excited or sds, wish I was coming with you, maybe next year? 3000, yay go me
t scared. Its my first return there after 14 years, having done 14 years on the trot before that. It's the first year where I won't be drinking and I'm driving. So Captain Carnage is to become Captain Citron Presse.
