Well I can't really put an old XF on my Avatar. At least not until the lacquer's been sorted. And the puma is special to me

Dunno. The tyre pressures are all over though!

Didn't even try to haggle. The definition of a good deal is when both parties walk(*) away happy

(*) Well I drove. He walked

I’m getting confused enough with the Mikey-Mark trio without you charging your avatar as well!

Did you feel the need to drive faster than everyone all the way home but simultaneously forget how to break and corner efficiently?

TBF you're always confused.

I found the most satisfaction by braking really hard and anything that looked like a corner. So hard, in fact, at one point I dropped my pipe.

Good Morning and it's Friday and Frosty here this morning so a lovely fire and coffee first.
Stay Safe all.

Andyk · Jan 14, 2022

Good morning all. Didn’t wake up until 6 …That’s a late one for me.

not a great day today as have consultations with the Union on redundancies on site. Hopefully we can find a different role for all effected.

CatmanV2 · Jan 14, 2022

Have a good one, all

Morning, all. TFIF.

Morning all Friday at last and hopefully last day of reconciliation with Finance prior to yearend, every year its the same they identify anomalies in the data and we have to investigate, diagnose, estimate the impact and provide a documented explanation. Almost every time it turns out to be user error somewhere in one of the systems and the overall impact is tiny but all about due diligence but the cost in payroll to carryout this work is always more than the actual discrepancy.

Heh ho soon be over for another year

2b1ask1 · Jan 14, 2022

Morning all, local job to do today including seeing the potential new yard /unit location later.

Have fun all…

Thought you were in distribution, how can they be any redundancies?

Ewan · Jan 14, 2022

Presumably too many people to distribute too little. And while redundancy is horrible, in the big picture, better to loose a few than see the whole business crumble by hanging on to people for too long. So don’t delay the inevitable, stop it from becoming inevitable. Harsh, I know.

MrPea · Jan 14, 2022

Hello everyone!

HapPea Friday! 'Tis a good day today because my godson and his family have just landed back here after 5 weeks away.
A few tasks today for work and a couple of customer meetings, but looking forward to a good weekend.

GeoffCapes · Jan 14, 2022

Morning all. Great start to the day, got the right tyres fitted on the Merc so that's good.
3 Work projects should close today so that's good, and another before the end of the month.

More info incoming on my 'little' car sales adventure, (will set up a thread on that shortly) and it's Friday and the sun is shining.

What's not so good is that my day started at 5am feeding Sophia as she had Alex up all night after she had her first lot of jabs yesterday.
Hopefully I will be able to stay awake for my call this afternoon.....

Greetings from a fairly sunny and hot Antigua.
On the tennis court at 10am with a hangover - great idea….
Left the 4200 at LHR T3 to test the battery for a week!
