LMAO I know!!!!!!!!

Evening folks if you have enjoyed reading my rebuild blog you might enjoy the next stage of my rambling drivel "My CV". This is something I started a while ago but didn't have the confidence to put out there if I am honest but after the response to the rebuild blog I figure what the hell I will see what folk think. So sit back grab a brew and see what you think as each entry is added then of course let me know either way best to be brutally honest you know! Posted by min200 Thu, January 15, 2015 07:50:39 My CV. Is a collection of the many colourful work positions I have held over my 41 years. I think you would struggle to find anyone else who has reinvented themselves as many times as I in the vain attempt to gain lawful employment! My CV’s have boarded on the completely fictional and have let’s say somewhat exaggerated my skill set in certain areas, normally the ones that are required for the role I am applying for. If it needed A levels I had them, excellent GCSE results...no problem. The only thing I have not had is a degree, I mean why would I want one? Have you seen the tools they kick out of University these days with a degree? They are ten a penny and now come in all colourful shapes and sizes such as the most coveted Degree in Popular music of the “noughties”...I mean what bloody use would that be to anyone? Nothing that’s what it’s just an excuse to have a three year piss up away from your parents chasing young women and hanging with your mates. Now don’t get me wrong because that is a bloody good plan but don’t insult the world by pretending it’s to gain a degree that’s not worth the paper it’s printed on. The government should re-class student loans for these mickey mouse degrees to the “Take Three years out to get wasted and laid then do some real work to pay it back grants”. There have been times that I have made my CV look so good that I have effectively forced myself out of the running after the first hurdle for being “over qualified” which just goes to prove a bit of bullshit can get you a long way in this world! I mean what sort of plank writes a fictional CV so good that he takes himself out of the running before the race has started? That dear reader would be me and I will go into greater detail as we plod along in the book. Stick on a suit for any office or management role or a pair of work boots with a high viz and you can talk your way into any job from labourer to site foreman. It really isn’t that hard when you think about it as long as you do a bit of research on the role before you go in for an interview you can sound very convincing. Adding to that you make sure you are being perceived as confident and comfortable in what your chosen “profession” is and be armed with a few questions relating to the role that requires the information that would be seen as knowledgeable. But all that sounds like the start to a self help novel of which this book is NOT going to be. It’s all going to be about me. About the way that I get bored really quickly with whatever I’m doing work wise. I know I have a short attention span because when I started writing this intro page I was 40 years old but I am now 41 so if each page takes this long I wont be done with it until I am 20 years past dead. Anyway best get on with it so lets start with what was an acceptable practice back in the eighties (that’s the 1980’s for you young ones yes you lot that are currently pissed at Uni passing this around because buying one copy between 5 of you saved some beer tokens, most of the population were alive in the last century) child labour. www.justturned40.co.uk

Nope she can file for divorce on differences BUT normally you have to have been separated for a couple of years or so it was 16 years ago when I got divorced so it could have changed a bit by now. My only word of advice would be to do it all through solicitors and the court. By all I mean money for the kids division of property and the divorce reasons/process. It's surprising how much is agreed between solicitors and saves airing your dirty laundry in court.

Thats great folks thank you very much!

Well folks my eldest daughter went for her CBT yesterday and is pretty useless with gears etc. Now she is a timid girl at teh best of times so I am thinking along with agreement from here that a rev and go scooter would be best to start her off with rather than a geared bike. This way I can build up her confidence on a bike in an off road setting to start with so she can sort out her balance etc. Now I have np problem doing this but my question is this... When she goes back for her CBT again and does it then hopefully passes on a rev and go will she be restricted to this sort of bike? She does want to eventually to ride a geared bike so would she need to take another CBT on one when she was ready to ride it?

Move more and eat a bit less chap it worked for me. Denied myself nothing just cut down on portion sizes and got out and about more Oh I was bloody massive as well before!

Happy New Year to you all!

It's moved onto Land Rover bits as well folk seem to be falling for it quite regularly as well.

Merry Christmas to you all as well!

Well done on the job!

Thanks folks much appreciated

OK then following on from the hairy arsed moment last week on the bike I have finally sourced another one. I was going to go into a bit of debt for one but seeing as our original plan was to save up over the 18 months - two years I decided to stick with that and just spend what I had saved so far. Now with a budget of £800 I managed to find another GSX600F in the same colour on the same year as mine! Its just been serviced and has a new pair of Avon boots on it so with a whole extra bike of spares sat on the driveway here I will be getting it on Sunday. Even though its a cheap hack I thought it best to do a quick HPI check on it but have never done this before so how do I go about it and do you folk have any recommendations please

Keep job hunting shows sheer determination of will

Seriously are you joking??? Grow a pair tell her exactly what you think then duck and cover!

Saw something similar a couple of weeks back. An expensive way to learn a basic lesson!

Hats off to the pair of twonks in the two seater Mercedes sports car who decided that looking to see if there was any traffic coming before pulling out of a petrol station across three lanes of traffic then stopping blocking the outside two due to the queue for the lights. How the hell I managed to stop the bike is a mystery to me because im pretty sure it wasn't supposed to go from 40 to zero in 15 feet. The back end started to slide but that wasn't a problem once I really had to lock on the front brakes bringing the back wheel off of the road. I surprised myself at the loudness and profanity of my language but not half as surprised as the pair of idiots in the Merc. The queue cleared as I was getting off of the bike to give the tits what for but they wheel span off in a bit of a rush... funny really seeing as they were dressed all "street" and "gangster". Really glad I overhauled the brakes in the summer!

Happy to be helped chap Thanks again!

It was in a block connector. The wire had moved back a bit causing it to arc and burn the connector a touch. We had to push the wire all the way back in and reconnect the block together and hey presto all sorted

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to acting_strange for his welcoming company, excellent knowledge and for fixing my headlights I have learnt a few new things today about my bikes electrics so have more of a sporting chance of fixing it at home in the future! Just goes to show this forum is spot on and the folks here are superb! I shall pass on the experience gained today to the next poor clueless bugger that comes along

Best be teaching myself how read these wiring diagrams properly I think!

I have checked bith of the bulbs again chap and they are fine. Still third times a charm!

I may take you up on that kind offer chap but im working until next weekend now apart form tomorrow which is already packed busy with family stuff!

I took the bulbs out and physically looked at the elements and they are fine. Relay???? I have to find a relay as well!!! lol Havnt had a chance to pick up a multimeter yet and it doesn't help that I am pants with electrics. Now how much would a new bike be.....

Separate fuses and the switch was cleaned up and put back together...still doesn't work lol Best go and buy a multimeter.

OK folks thanks I will start with the switch as the bulbs are both ok There's a hell of a lot goes through to that switch though I bet I bugger it up! lol
