I said do you mind, and his reply was "It's just a shite old scrapper" I replied, "Yeah suppose you are right" got out and slammed mine against his 5 times. I've only seen that look once, and it was a masterpiece. 6' 2" tall, 17stone and dressed all in black with big boots and spikey hair with Oakley wrap arrounds. And he was about 4' tall in his M&S crinkly shiny suit. -- Carl Robson Audio stream: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com:8000/samtest Homepage: http://www.bouncing-czechs.com

Umm, your footnote went awol, but I'm suspecting it was along the lines of "Yes, I know they're your HR dept's criteria not yours..."?

Shove it in the "maintenance pot", and run whatever the hell you want. It's worked for me in the past. Yes, mutterings were made about the CX (at 11yo & 170k), but it wasn't outright veto'd.

Unfortunately, due to the 'customer facing' nature of the job, the company do need to implement some kind of veto. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Ducati 750SS - Hongdou GY200 Alfa 75 TSpark - Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE |
