PaRsOnIsPhErE Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well I know the topic of conversation has drifted off a bit from creating lists, but here's my little list. - Warm, clear sky day (rarity here in West Wales), can smash out some mileage on the mountain bikes, or even better get some work done on the car! - Performing magic (when it goes well and my performance just seems to have flow) - Hobgoblin, Doombar and Black Dragon. - Driving in the wilds of mid-wales on a warm sunny day, and just stopping to appreciate the gorgeous views. - That feeling late at night when it's dark, and you pack the car and start a long journey somewhere, knowing the roads are empty and it's just you, your music and a clear road ahead! - Chips and Cheese - Musicians: Bonobo, Dreadzone, Massive Attack, Bonobo, Clams Casino, Phaeleh, Bonobo. - Twin Town! and all the Bourne films. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be national shortage of commercial vehicle techs at the moment. Where my mate works, they've taken to using Australian techs on 2 year contracts. Under that Foreign Office scheme that where under the 40's Ozzies and Brits can work in each others countries for 2 years, without needing a separate work permit.聽 聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantt Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Not just commercial, car techs, pdi techs.
