Morning all, just got out of a statutory meeting with my bosses.............

Hope it went well Nick, btw what line of work are you in?

If anyone is interested in motor racing films this one looks interesting (only on Feb 21)

A story about the history of the original Nürburgring race circuit.

The circuit is open to the public I've done a lap and it was pretty scary (and I was only driving at road '+ a bit!' speeds........)

I work in the sales office here David - www.snows-commercials.co.uk.

And thank you

Hope it works out for you, Nick.
I think the best approach is to try & see it as being a glass half full rather than a glass half empty.
Try & look forward to the opportunity of being forced/encouraged into making some (potential) life changes rather than just drifting along as you were..... being forced into actually doing something you have always wanted to do? - Be it a new line of work, someplace new or even just try & get a job within easy commute (think how much you'd save if you could walk to work & be able to get rid of the daily driver!)


I was made redundant from a job oooh 14 years ago, I'd been in the job 5 or so years & my life (workwise) was what the French describe as:
"[I]métro, boulot, dodo[/I]" (Literal translation: subway, work, sleep informal meaning: same old routine, work work work)
We took the opportunity to move (to the Lake District, somewhere I'd always wanted to live). OK the pay was much less but we had a really enjoyable couple of years living a stress free life, so in that sense redundancy was a blessing.

Morning. Had a day off yesterday and thought I would tackle the squishy brakes. It, like any Alfa job you tackle, turned in to a nightmare, Ill write it up in 'Conaero's Spider' thread.

Morning. Alfa Brembo's in many bits strewn across the garage floor. Despite new seals and dust covers, they are seized again.
