Not about in January

[madhatter]

Hi everyone in Beds and Bucks, I hope you all had a great Christmas and a boozy start to the new Year! :D

I've just about managed to eat everything remaining in the house of a suitably high calorie content and drink everything containing alcohol, so a perfect start to 2006.

Other news is that I stuck two fingers up to my job of the last three years :thumbsdown: as I was getting close to "doing time" for beating several people to death with their own spine after I had torn it out through their throat. I start a new job on Monday, :thumbsup: which is going to require me spending week-days away from home whilst I visit the manufacturing sites based in the West Midlands, so I doubt I will be around much either in person or on the forum until February.

Best wishes to you all for the forthcoming year anyway, I have a box full of bits just waiting to do an open clutch conversion, so combined with the hi-level Sils, should allow people to hear me a-comin this year. :chuckle:

About bloody time, they were really winding you up! What's the new job then? You didn't hang around did ya?!

Hopefully see you end of Feb/March.

I'm going Ally Pally on 4th Feb with Windchaser and Bladerunner, so if you're about why don't you come along?

.......What's the new job then? You didn't hang around did ya......I'm going Ally Pally on 4th Feb with Windchaser and Bladerunner, so if you're about why don't you come along?

Like I said, I needed to go before I caused grevious bodily harm!:twak:

I'm still doing the Quality Management role, but am now responsible for the Test & Development Laboratory as well. I am working for a surface treatment company that specialises in the treatment of metal alloys for the aerospace and automotive markets. There are nine manufacturing sites in the group, hence I spent all last week in West Bromwich, will be in Tipton all this week and likely to be covering the plants in Telford, Birmingham etc the week after.

I'm really enjoying it so far and work is no longer the sickening pain that it was:thumbsup: . I'm giving Ally Pally a miss, as I did it last year and also the NEC, so nothing new for me to see. I will also be at my first camping bikers rally the weekend after and need the beer-tokens!:booze:

See Ya around in February/March

Thanks for the best wishes Paul, Chappers, Stuart! It was just a case of the right opportunity at the right time, hopefully your own good luck (Stuart) is just over the horizon. Anyway Stu, like you said, you can't be God-like Handsome and lucky as well!!!

I've done one week at the Tipton factory and one week at the West Bromwich factory. Next week I am visiting the three factories at Telford, Chelmsford and Birmingham, so all rather busy still.

Enjoying it all very much, but looking forward to getting back " darn sarf" in February and getting out on the Monster. I may well begin dropping round for coffee and sticky cakes to various people in Beds and Bucks then.
