[Rudy Tamasz]

Waiting for Easter. It's fasting time now, but it's really hard to find proper food with no meet in it in Virginia.

[gadjo_dilo]

But Rudy......
"Our''Easter is on April 12 th.
And what the hell are you doing in Virginia?
:confused:

[gadjo_dilo]

In the last time I have moments when I'm charged with electricity, esp. when I'm at work. I feel little shocks whenever I touch objects like the metallic window, the fridge, a plant that I touch when I get my papers from the printer and even my coworkers hands. Yesterday I touched the phone and the shock was stronger than ever and the phone did a weird noise. I even saw sparks when I touched the vacuum cleaner in a dark room.. First it was fun and I remembered an excellent comedy (https://youtu.be/-FRb1naNbIo but now I'm a bit scared.

[Tazio]

I want to be your lightning rod! :angel:

[Tazio]

"Our''Easter is on April 12 th.

That's my birthday!
Remember to remember your dreams! :confused: :kiss:

[gadjo_dilo]

Hey Donks....
It's not Easter yet. You have to fast.....

[airshifter]

Nobody HAS to fast....


My daughter is leaving for China in a couple days. As proud of her as I am, I admit that I'm probably more nervous than she is.

[anfield5]

Off up to the hospital tomorrow afternoon. Have a meeting with her boss at Subway today to try and broker a deal to get her back into a job when she is well enough.

Visited Alicia in hospital. Poor lass is in a state. She also told me that she has detached the retina in her right eye and will loose up to 60% of the sight in it.

The really sad thing is that she did the damage when her face hit the steering wheel. Her car had airbags in it that didn't deploy, if they had worked the way the should she would have walked away with bruising and some friction burns from the bag. The car had been serviced (including air bags) by Toyota only 2 months ago, so we are not too thrilled with Toyota right now and they have much explaining to do.

[steveaki13]

Thats really sad Anfield. Sorry to hear that. Not fair sometimes:(

[Rudy Tamasz]

But Rudy......
"Our''Easter is on April 12 th.

:confused:

Exactly. Two weeks to go. Isn't it a long time?

In Virginia I was getting ready to go you know where. Training and that kinda stuff. Right now I am in Dubai waiting for the plane. I'll send you my hugs from that place like I promised. ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

Rudy....Always the traveler.....:laugh:

Have a nice travel and enjoy the experience.
Good luck!

[steveaki13]

Had a nice meal out with some friends I have met over the last year in my employment with the mad woman last year. Including my new business partner.

Nice evening. A reminder of how lucky I am, despite things not always being easy. :)

[anfield5]

Been a bad couple of weeks. Firstly my friend Alicia has a horror car crash and destroys the right side of her face.

Now my head office has just informed me and two colleagues in Wanganui (180km south) that the government agency that funds our courses has had it's budget cut by out pathetic leadership and our programmes will not be repurchased for next year. Meaning come the beginning of May I will be joining the line of the unemployed I have been spending the last 6 1/2 years of my life helping. I guess there is a certain irony to that :) :(

[Storm]

Steak & kidney pie :facelick: :D

[gadjo_dilo]

Anfield, I'm really sorry......:s
Is it difficult to find a job in your hometown?

[Storm]

yeah lets hope things get better...life sure looks bleak sometimes :s

[schmenke]

Tough luck anfield. Hope things pick up soon.
Many job losses recently in my neck of the woods :(

[Rudy Tamasz]

I really hope things eventually get better for you, Anfield.

[steveaki13]

Blimey Anfield, so sorry to hear that. I hope you can find something quickly.

[D-Type]

Anfield, that's a bugger isn't it!

Having once been made redundant I can guess how you feel. Trust me, a job will come along if you keep looking - often from an unexpected quarter. In my case I put my details through to the 40th agency I had come across. They found me a job. On the first day the agency rang up to say they had gone belly up. I had a word with the new employer and they gave me the names of agencies they normally used and I simply switched agents. After 3 years doing short term contracts (6 weeks to a year) I landed a job a bus ride away and stayed 20 years.

Fatherly advice bit: No matter how tight your budget, set aside a sum for 'treats'. If you hit one of the inevitable low points, a bag of toffees or a beer without feeling guilty is a great morale booster.

[anfield5]

Thanks for the support my friends. To be honest I am slightly peeved, but we all known in this sector that our courses can be dropped by the government funding agencies at any time, so we live in a state of being semi-prepared for this sort of thing. I am far more worried about Alicia than my job. I will find something else, where as she has been told she will never see properly again, and the scars on her face will be visible for at least 6 years. So my petty job issues kind of fade into the background :)

[anfield5]

Anfield, I'm really sorry......:s
Is it difficult to find a job in your hometown?

At the moment yes, for the first time in a decade New Plymouth is struggling because the energy sector is not producing, thus has a knock on effect through the town. If I stay in New Plymouth (my preferred option) I wont find work in the areas I am currently working in. If I want to stay in this type of job, I will have to look to relocate.

That's very nice anfield. I like that you support Alicia.

It's what you do for friends :). Their wellbeing is always more important than my own

[Storm]

:up:


Mark, you need to fix the icons! It was a thumbs up to you anfield :)

[jens]

Sad to hear tough stories.

I have to say then my life is currently pretty fine compared to the setbacks others have suffered. But that's what life is - you never know, what might happen, and setbacks can happen all of a sudden!

[jens]

Also, New Plymouth is almost at the other side of the world compared to where I reside. So that's interesting. Wondering, how is life there.:)

[Jag_Warrior]

Today is the first proper day I've had off since Christmas break. "Proper", in that even though I have something to do, I don't feel rushed, pressured or stressed. Plus, it's an absolutely gorgeous day outside today. And after reading Anfield's posts and knowing that in an hour or so I'll be having dinner in a place where many/most would love to experience my worst day, as it's probably better than their best day... I feel blessed and fortunate, whatever is going on in my life.

Happy Easter to you all. And may each of you find something that makes you smile.

[anfield5]

I was born on the other side of the world in Liverpool, and that will always be my spiritual home, but New Plymouth is a great place to be. On the sea, with the world's most awesome mountain in the back garden. People are good (most of them) Climate is not too hot in summer (ave 24-26 celcius) winter isnt too cold. Cost of living is ok, but housing is stupidly expensive compared to the rest of the country. If it wasn't for my career issues, especially with my personal life looking up (pretty girl wise :)) life here would be perfect.

No one, especially me will begrudge you this Jag, it is good that you are enjoying your break. As far as I am concerned, life is fine. I have met a stunningly beautiful woman, and strangely through her aweful car accident we have become very close, and on the job front - I have done nothing to assist with my impending job loss, I have performed well within, or above the indicator marks we have set for us, so ho-hum. :)

[Storm]

Just got rejected by a grad school I had applied to.
Well it was expected considering the difficulty of getting in to my chosen field/degree but it still is a kick in the gut. any rejection is....I only have the rest of the year to try to get into any college/institute or I'll have to forget this and rebuild/restart my earlier career (which is even more difficult now having been out of the loop)

[schmenke]

Sorry to hear that Storm. Hope you find another college soon. What is it that you want to study?

[Rudy Tamasz]

I'm about to have a discussion with my travel office. For whatever reason, they decided to apply the option of the reimbursement of my actual expenses to my previous trip instead of the flat rate they normally use. In practical terms it means that normally I would get my per diem (pretty fat in this case) and use it the way I like. This time they would only reimburse what I actually spent, and what qualifies as necessary (meals and transportation). The difference is quite significant and I'm concerned...

[gadjo_dilo]

Sorry Rudy.....

Sorry Storm....

I'm such an idiot. I understood that Storm applied to be a teacher. :crazy:
In Rudy's case I understood nothing.

Maybe I'm too tired.

[schmenke]

Why should you be concerned Rudy? Either way you are reimbursed your expenses. The fact that your per-diem previously covered more than your expenses was just bonus. Per-diem is not considered income and you could be subject to taxation on the difference.

[Storm]

gadjo, I am trying to get back into school as a student..yeah I know weird at my advanced age ;)..
schmenke, it's Physics-Astronomy

[gadjo_dilo]

Can't you be accepted if you pay some taxes?

[Rudy Tamasz]

Why should you be concerned Rudy? Either way you are reimbursed your expenses. The fact that your per-diem previously covered more than your expenses was just bonus. Per-diem is not considered income and you could be subject to taxation on the difference.

Two things. I am not reimbursed all of my expenses. Just a part. Nobody told me the deal had changed. Had I known about it, I would have been spending more conservatively. E.g. I would have been using metro instead of taxi.

Second, I'm not a volunteer. I do my job, I get paid, I have a decent travel package. If they send me to an expensive city I need to have an acceptable standard of living.

What happened is not a disaster, though. It's still negotiable, and I might still get reimbursed. I'm just pretty sensittive when it comes to money.

[steveaki13]

Sorry to hear that Rudy and Storm. Wishing you both better luck.

Also sorry to hear you are having a bad time Gadjo.

[steveaki13]

I have so little time these days to be on the forum.

Kind of sad in a way, as I feel I am missing out.

Probably no one even notcied I am away. :(

[gadjo_dilo]

Probably no one even notcied I am away. :(
I admit I didn't. :laugh:

When putting in your expenses, don't forget the gratuities. You are always a generous tipper, aren't you?
And taxis - the driver pulled a knife on you when you asked for a receipt.
And at the same time quote your actual hours worked, including reading paperwork in the evening in your hotel room. If they won't pay demand time off in lieu - you'll find there's something like that in your conditions of contract. Is Belarus in the EU? Or was this assignment in the EU? If so the EU directives regarding maximum working hours apply.

[steveaki13]

I admit I didn't. :laugh:

Thanks :mad:

:D

[Storm]

I did, since you haven't posted in the football thread either since the clasico....
but like anfield says its best to be busy with work than have free time to think about your failures :s

No, Belarus is not in EU and will not be there in the foreseeable future. I actually work for a country, which is not in EU either. Now I physically work in a third country, and the per diem thing happened in yet another country. Quite complex, eh? ;)

I'll be alright, though. I negotiated it. They amended my paperwork and I will get my reimbursement.

I also should mention that I do a lot of things pro bono. Once I couldn't concentrate on an important document in my office because of an incessant wave of petty taskers. I did it in two sleepless nights at home with Miles Davies in my ears. I did the follow-up to that doc on the balcony of a hotel during my vacation having a monster hangover, because I did not want to miss a deadline. I am also a generous tipper. I worked as a waiter for while, and I have sympathy for other waiters. one has to have a really bad attitude to not receive tips from me.

Got the dreaded "Coming to discuss the way forward" email from out HR manager today. Translated into non-HR speak Due to government funding cutbacks my job is officially ending at the end of next month.

As previously stated (about a month ago) we knew this was coming, but facing unemployment in 5 weeks in the current job climate is not something I can really do - to old and experienced to live on a Government handout while trawling the streets for a menial job - Ho-Hum

[Storm]

sad to hear that...you might need to move to seek a similar job?

[anfield5]

True, but the problem with our half-baked government means the same thing is happening nation wide.

I am considering doing a business management degree, starting at the end of June - not too sure yet though.

[Rudy Tamasz]

I had a monster desire to get drunk. Now I am fighting a monster hangover.

[gadjo_dilo]

What have you drunk?

[steveaki13]

Orange juice..... :p

[Storm]

I had a tequila with a 7up, not very nice I have to say...

[gadjo_dilo]

And I had 2 beers while watching Eurovision

[Rudy Tamasz]

Last night there was a gathering of the lonely hearts club. We started with ultra-expensive bourbon and continued with vodka. Not very wise...

[gadjo_dilo]

But at least it worked

[Rudy Tamasz]

It sure did. Except, I spent the whole day of today mightily depressed and feeling sick. Now I'm going to sleep and I hope I will feel better tomorrow.

I have these moments about once a year and I hope this was my annual low and I will be going uphill from now on.

I get moments like that and I am generally am quite a happy person.

I try to focus on the wider world and look at all the people past and present getting on with their lives. All the animals and plants getting on with things and the sun shining on your face.

Look at the amazing world we live in and you can't help but be amazed and hopefully it will make you feel better.

Hope you find some peace and happiness :)

[Rudy Tamasz]

Thanks, Steve. I fully agree with you. During those moments, though, it's not about the world around. It's about me and some kind of a black hole that opens inside.

Oh well, I'd rather go to bed. Tomorrow will be tomorrow. Like I say in such cases, the life is long, the world is wide, the Lord is merciful, and something else will come my way.

[steveaki13]

I know what you mean Rudy.

Hope you feel better soon

[gadjo_dilo]

You're lucky Rudy if you feel like this only once a year. I'm always unhappy but not that bad. And it's very easy to change my mood.

[steveaki13]

Allergies do that to me this time of year, every year for the past 30 years or so. I'm not joking and I'm not saying that's what you're experiencing. But according to a doctor I saw a long time ago, some people do experience real emotional lows caused by seasonal factors (for some people, it's the onset of Winter). Since I now know what it is and what causes it, and I've come to expect it, it no longer bothers me as much.

I hope tomorrow is a better day for you though.

[gadjo_dilo]

Exactly!

Under 20 World Cup starts here in 3 days. New Plymouth has the honour of hosting Brazil, Nigeria, Hungary and North Korea. Can go to all 5 games (Brazil, North Korea is in Christchurch, plus a quarter final for around $100 - 50 quid)

[driveace]

And the news this morning is that 6 FIFA officials were arrested by Police
Just what do the Police know ,about the "Gifts" and "Brown Envelopes" ,"Free Holidays" ,and is the world now being awakened to the corruptness in this club of officials ?

[anfield5]

There are two different investigations involving this. One in Switzerland and one in the US. Hopefully those guilty will be weeded out and dealt with and FIFA can regain some credibility.

I was in your position back at the end of March. We had a meeting to tell us that the company was in trouble financially and they needed to lose people. They asked for staff to come forward if they wanted to take voluntary redundancy. I didn't put myself forward as the Design Manager (my boss) told me there was no way they would get rid of me. It was bad timing as I was due to go on holiday for 2 weeks at the beginning of April.

I came home to a letter telling me I was redundant! Two other designers were up too. They decided to keep the junior designer on because of his cheap salary and get rid of three senior staff. I was gutted for about a week but have ended up getting a job as a Design Engineer for a lot more money and only a few miles from home. Before I was commuting 40 miles each way so it shows things happen for a reason and usually work out!

I hope you get a good solution Anfield, all the best on that mate :)

Have been accepted onto a Business Degree course starting on the 20th of next month, so if no jobs come up I will be a student again for the next three years. Not too sure how I feel about this but it is better than being unemployed and is at least a productive use of my time. :D

I missed it too and found out the result accidentally on purpose lol. I doubt i'll bother watching it to be honest. I've only caught one race live this season and seen 3 or 4 highlights shows from the rest. Most of my catch up has been reading about it in the web. My interest has faded of late hence why I rarely visit these days... :)

[steveaki13]

Hey Henners. You ain't missed much.

Been average at very best. One of the dullest starts to an F1 season for many years. IMO

starts? we are heading for one of the dullest seasons ever, not even Hamilton throwing away the title would make it very interesting.

Gadjo, loyalty does not span lifetime, unless it's the loyalty to your country or your family. Employers come and go. My world revolves around my interests, not theirs. ;)

[gadjo_dilo]

Yeah....I'm probably the only fool who refused to move in another department where I could travel abroad and gain an extra bonus just because I thought I'd disappoint my ex boss who despite being a very difficult person, insisted in the past for my promotion.....:s

[gadjo_dilo]

Nothing on my mind at this moment. The sun is melting and flowing on earth. My brain is also melting at 37 C degrees in the shadow......:crazy:

[Rudy Tamasz]

Same here. 37C and no escape from the fortified compound. There are mountains on the horizon in every direction, but there is no reaching them.

[gadjo_dilo]

Rudy, you talk like a prisoner although I bet your fortress has a pool.
But the romantic in me would think of you as of the count of Monte Cristo :angel:

Because of the high level of humidity, polution and the hot asphalt in the city, the 37C in Book a Rest are felt by human body as if it were 60C. :s

[Rudy Tamasz]

Right, that's funny. Bar, pool, gym, coffee shop, but no freedom of movement. That's the deal that I've chosen. What can I do?

At least it's not humid, but there's a lot of dust in the air.

[gadjo_dilo]

If I had a pool I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. Guve me a pool and I'll be happy.

First day of my Management degree today. Even though I have a computer degree already and have worked etc, and I am quite mature,I have to admit I am as nervous as a kid changing schools :)

Just remember that everyone puts their trousers on one leg at a time. ;)

Trousers.... I knew I,d forgotten something

Memorable evening the other night. Saw Rush for the 4th time in 4 different decades ....



Aahhh, after buying the R30 dvd, I have always wanted to see them live...well that goes for dozens of other bands too

I think that I've come to the conclusion that:
Treaty of Versailles (1918) + Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia (1968) = The Economic Conditions Imposed by the Troika on Greece (2015)

When you have the Troika impose conditions, which are backed by countries which also have had austerity imposed on them (like Latvia and Ireland), then the conditions can't be great. The Greek Government now effectively has zero control over it's own Fiscal or Monetary Policy and is still expected to achieve something.

Basically Greece is cussed beyond all cussing cuss and is totally cussed.

That assumes that the Greek government ever had control of anything - something not supported by history.

A nice piece on Greece from about four years ago:

[Rollo]

It's "not appropriate" to talk about gun control in the wake of mass shootings... er...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/07/24/there-have-been-204-mass-shootings-and-204-days-in-2015-so-far/
There have been 204 mass shootings — and 204 days — in 2015 so far.

That's sorted then.

Ouch! I hope everything is OK.... I don't want anyone I know breaking bones!

[gadjo_dilo]

It's a broken finger at my left hand and it needs 3-4 weeks of immobilization. Also some trouble on a rib but the idiots didn't even bother to have a radiography although it hurts like hell even when I breathe.
Wonder how I'll get through this whith my responsibilities.

[steveaki13]

Oh Gadjo. So sorry to hear that. I know how horrid it is to break bones. However you have other responsibilities as you say, hope you get some good news.

[Storm]

Just saw this....really sorry to hear.. These things take their own sweet time to heal properly too, but take care and don't rush it. I broke my little finger on the left hand, sounds ridiculous but had to strap the last 2 fingers in place for 5 weeks, very awkward to do usual daily stuff with that on your hand. At least it was the left hand, are you a rightie too?

Same situation here. It`s difficult to wash myself, dress/undress, eat, etc.. Not to mention typing with just one hand. :s

[jens]

I don't know, how did that happen, but I don't understand anything at all any more. That's on my mind. Utterly confused. What should I do now, next? Where to go?

Umm?!?! :uhoh:

Go to a clairvoyant.

Melting at 37°C the day before yesterday.
Then 17°C yesterday, 16°C today.

Crazy weather......:s. :crazy:

[D-Type]

And the 16° feels so much colder after the 37° a couple of days ago.

Sorry to hear about the finger (and the rib) - both things you can't really immobilise

[gadjo_dilo]

And the 16° feels so much colder after the 37° a couple of days ago.

Sorry to hear about the finger (and the rib) - both things you can't really immobilise
Matter of fact the finger is immobilised in a thick half-arm long gypsum bandage. At 37C it made me sweat like a pig, at 16C it makes impossible wearing a warm jacket. :s

[Storm]

you need a jacket at 16deg? :|

[gadjo_dilo]

Generally not. Yesterday I was out in short sleeve T-shirt and felt like an alien. Everybody was wearing boots and autumn coats. :laugh:

But you must take into account that 16 was the max. temp and during night it's lower. If tonight I go out for a beer on a terrace I'd need some warm clothes. Maybe jacket wasn't the proper word. I meant a sweater with buttons on front or a blazer.

Now it's 12 am and 15°.

PS Haven't we had a thread about weather report? :p

Just in case some of you are wondering.

Been quiet on the forum lately because business is booming. :)

Happy to say that we are doing really well and everything is now sorted. We are fully booked with customers.

I am earning more than ever before and enjoying each and every day of work.

(Sorry I know its a tad self centred, but thought some may be interested to know how things were going)

I'm a bit disappointed. I was hoping you're quiet cos you're spending time with some nice girl who made you forget about the forum. :angel:

Just not what you were thinking of :kiss:

Why is reality so cruel? :s

For me is just boring. :s

Sorry Gadjo I did not mean to make you feel bad. :)

You didn't. I was joking a bit and I'm really happy you're doing well. You really deserve it.
But take care and don't work that much, you'll forget to live. :p :kiss:

Thats the trouble.

It is tough to find time sometimes.

[Storm]

Barca v Bilbao tonight, La Liga starts!

[D-Type]

On paper, Bilbao haven't a hope - but you never know

[Storm]

On paper they did not have any hope for the super cup and they won 5-1 aggregate :s
1-0, a tough match to begin, which isn't bad, plus no Neymar, Pique and Pedro (now). maybe this should go to the footie thread!

[steveaki13]

Good start to the season.

Bilbao are a really organised and committed side. Be interesting to see how they do. Barca continue to look a tad dozy this early in the season.

Should be in the footie thread I guess, but this talk about anything on your mind. ;)

[steveaki13]

Tipping it down with rain here today, so this gardener has a day off. :confused:

Yayyyyy!!!!!!!!!

Recently I have been online only twice a week, so whenever I log onto Internet, I don't understand anything at all, coz there is way too much information.

That's weird cos I think the forum is dead. A lot of people either left the forum or simply won't talk to us . :confused: . :s

Hi Gadjo. Afterall I did pop out a while.

How about a really bad joke.

A German Cowboy walks into a car showroom.

He says: Audi partner :rolleyes:

I'm too stupid to get it.:confused:

I was out to buy some pizza. Do you want a slice?

[jens]

No worries about that.

Pizza looks nice.

[Storm]

Hello folks, what's all that crap about staying away from the beer?

I would love a pizza + beer, haven't eaten a good pizza or any pizza in weeks. Right one is pepperoni? left looks some salami+mushrooms? lovely!

You can have my beer Storm :p

There's just one beer and it's MINE!

So how's the kitty this morning? Is she still alive? :p

[steveaki13]

Yes...

She was making lots of "Feed me" noise this morning. All fed and I have gone home now.

My friends get back later today.

[gadjo_dilo]

Can't believe that I offered bribe to a doctor and he accepted it without any hesitation. :confused:
Also can't believe that after I bribed him, he treated me like sh#t. :crazy:

Can`t believe that in good old absurdistani tradition I did a radiography on the first floor that couldn`t be sent to a computer on the third floor. After a few trips between the floors and a complete humiliation of yours truly, the doctor on the third floor decided that someone should get down to radiology and take a picture of my radiography with a smartphone. It happens in the 21st century in a top hospital of an EU country capital. :crazy:

[Storm]

:erm: even in our 3rd world we can take x-rays and see them on different floors, truly weird that gadjo.

infact most x-ray/sonography clinics which aren't inside hospitals can send your reports/images directly to your doctor or hospital before your consultation.

[gadjo_dilo]

It's not weird when you live in Absurdistan.
It could have been done but the usual disregard towards patients had won again.
Although I offered a "money attention" to both parts.
The worst thing is the manner you're treated, the way they talk to you as if you're a idiot who came to bother them.
My hand is still swollen and hurts like hell when I curve the last two fingers.

[gadjo_dilo]

Guess what, guys....
I started to read again this thread (from page one ) and from my point of view I think it's one of the best of the forum. I remembered the time when I was down and wanted to die and some of you were so sweet and supported me ( as well as some of you accused me of narcissism and being an attention seeker .:s ). Then I had a laugh with Jag Warrior's daughter-mother dating story, etc. etc. I'm at page 30 now.

[steveaki13]

You are welcome..... :D

I am glad I started it. What with this and whatever happened to, I have started a couple of decent thread.

I hate television so much that I was considering getting drunk, taking an ax and smashing my TV this weekend. Then I realized that I don't have an ax, I don't drink anymore and I wouldn't be home this weekend. But when I got home last night, I found this show called Granite Flats on my Roku box. It looked like a kids' show, set in the early 1960's. But it's not a kids' show. It features kids in the cast and it is family friendly, but it's also the best written, directed and acted television program I have seen in YEARS! It's something of a Cold War spy thriller set in a small town.

Watch it! Do what I did and binge watch it (Netflix or Roku). If you've lost faith in (American) television, this might save you from shopping for an ax and a bottle of Jack Daniels.

[Storm]

I just moved to a new country (will be here a year or more)
It's very difficult moving and setting up, especially with an over-enthusiastic 3 yr old in tow, but we are taking this up as a challenge :p:

Good luck on your new adventure.
It was a pleasure to wake up and play the word games with you or just simply talk.

I rarely post any more either. I've only watched 2 full F1 races this season and the rest have been highlights, sometimes catching them days after the race.

I'm not afraid to admit I got bored of F1 and have been focusing on family on Sunday's and other interests. I still follow to loosely through habit but the excitement has dwindled for me.

Nice to pop in though, hi guys and dolls. :)

I bought him in 2005 when I went to Scotland. Nessie.

I took him as a mascot in 2007 and 2008 when I also visited Scotland.

So when I decided to go back this year, I dug him out of the cupboard and he has sat on my car dashboard for the 560 mile (902 KM) journey. He also comes along on walks as a good luck mascot.

There you are. Here he would be called a "soft toy"

Home from Scotland. 1,468 miles (2,362 km) done in my old 2005 Ford Focus. Not bad.

[gadjo_dilo]

:eek: You're a fast driver.......F1 is waiting for you.:p
Anyway welcome back although I wish you had a longer holiday.

Bear hugs to Nessie!

[steveaki13]

That was that distance in total. Took me a bit over 7 hours to do the 400 miles from Edinburgh to home. Not bad.

Amazed my old car did not conk out. :D

Why do you wish I had a longer holiday? :p

[gadjo_dilo]

I know it was half of the distance. But I also know ( :devil: ) that you left Edinburgh quite late. In my country roads are crap and on the few highways there are speed restrictions, that's why I'm impressed.

I wish you stayed longer to relax and enjoy Nessie's company as you seemed to have a good time.

[Gregor-y]

How far north did you go?

Personally, I'd always like a longer holiday. Two weeks in Norway this month just wasn't enough!

[steveaki13]

I went up to the Highlands around Loch Ness and Kyle of Loch Alsh. It wasnt for very long although I treated the driving as part of it as its nice driving up there.

This was a short notice thing so was only for 5 days. Plan to go again for a longer period next time.

Wow thats a tough schedule. Hope its all going OK.

SO far so good, averaging in the mid 70's across the three papers, having an extremely poor tutor for Law makes it quite difficult. She marked my first test and gave me 68%, on reading through it I found another 10 marks she had not given me even though my answers contained all of the aspects of her 'model answer'. I don't complain much, but that sort of thing is quite annoying. :)
