Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you find something soon. What's your line of work?

:thumbup Do anything within reason if it gets me a job.Ran 3 bandsaws for a bearing firm last, driven for national express and done forklift work went in the army from school.
I enjoyed driving for national express but i was up at 3.00am and not home until 5-6.00pm six days week,and it was 56 miles round trip on my blackbird to work,dont have a car.It was taking a big impact on my family,so looked for local job i could push bike too and better hours.
Found in at a local bearing firm,they trained me up for to run there bandsaws,but lost some big orders so was laid off before xmas after 5 months.
I sold my blackbird when i got my local job to buy my RSV1000R which was always on my wish list,i would not wont to put big miles on this and the other half does not wont me to travel far to work again.
Problem is polish taken town over no local jobs.:confused

You guys don't know you're born!!

I work in Croydon most of the time, the locals are so friendly, I love the way they are so courteous and polite. LOL

They always help old people across the road, although I can't figure out why they make them lay face down on the pavement before taking the handbags and wallets across the roads first???

Never see any murders, muggins, car theft or general loutishness at all. LOL

Hey everyone,
New here and I am a Fire Fighter.Machinist by trade but realized it makes a better side business than doing it and making all the money employed by someone to do it.
