Well, I've put the crate on the bay.

Get yourself a nice Mk2 Golf GTi. They're still out there at the moment, but the good ones are beginning to get a bit more expensive. I paid £350 for mine with no MOT or tax, but it's a 2 owner car (last since '91) with £4k worth of bills, does 35 mpg in town, is eligible for classic insurance, is reasonably quick, handles excellently now I've set up the camber / castor / toe and has excellent build quality without needing anything soft - touch. Mine even came with a Sony "active black panel" stereo with 10 disc auto changer.

So far all I've had to do to it apart from replace a couple of tired exhaust rubbers and set the wheel alignment was to re-wire the stereo properly.

I think they're the best thing you can buy for

Nah, I want something for =A3500-600, two mortgage payments, and some fun tweaking and tinkering. I wouldn't=20 be surprised if my spanners were starting to get rusty in the shed.=20 Haven't touched them in a year.

I thought fairly good, until I went for interview with the Carphone warehouse for their ADSL support.

Turns out I failed the technical competancy test, and but did OK at the interview. Support work was my first thought. But apparently, would have to come in as entry level and nobody wants entry level.

I happen to know that my speed and accuracy of typing, and lousy spelling would mean I would most likely be relegated to post room duties on minimum wage.

I know, but we're paying our lot 15 quid an hour!

Not sure if you mentioned it had electric windows enough. ; )

Not bad for first line - can be a soulless job though unless your considered

Fluffy dice?

Just pushing the the toys. Last thing I want is a stream of numpty questions of "Does it have X", when I listed it having X too.

Cheap air freshener. And my Estelle got a set of proper large fluffy dice as it's pressie when I passed my test.

Lol it's allowed in an Estelle!

Send us your email again, mine is valid. Can't find yours in all the zillions of old emails I kept. lytham would be a puh but I would do it. Cheadle (stockport) would be good, but Cheadle (staffordshire) would be a bit far.

I failed the interview for a department supervisor's position in retail that I had basically been merrily carrying out (minus the payrise - silly me) for over a year. I decided that the problem was with the interview system and not with me so I quit and vowed never to let it happen again.

I was slightly lucky to land a job with less resposibility, less stress and more money soon afterwards and never looked back, I'm never going to shun retail completely though, supermarkets are easy to get work in IME, and the jobs are very easy to walk out of.

Lol, Cheadle Stockport it is. I've mailed you direct.

Hmm, hasn't arrived yet. Hope my bloody webserver hasn't rejected it. I know it didn't end up in the junk mail becuase I just checked that. Some time spam assasin can be a little bit too ruthless.

Yeah, but old Skoda, large dice, new skoda small token dice freshener.

fluffy dice! in black too ah a man after my own taste (and yeah i have some hehe)
