Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
I preferred version 1! -
Not so bad in parts of Wales. Went to site once years ago in rural Powys and jokingly asked what traffoc was like in rush hour.
They told me avoid certain time because farmer in next village moves his sheep across the road to his other field some days.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Originally posted by doodab View PostWhat many people don't realise judging by the comments in that article (although it's quite well documented) is that dense fast moving traffic experiences chaotic shockwaves similar to a sonic boom. It travels in the opposite direction to the traffic and usually causes the flow to come to a halt. The point of reducing speed lmits is to prevent this happening, which reduces the overall journey time through a given busy stretch.
To put it simply, you just can't get that much traffic to flow at 70mph down that road. The above mentioned phenomena will prevent you from doing so.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Originally posted by BoredBloke View PostI don't know....the m60 is pretty shocking. When I was on my last role I had to commute between Rochdale and Warrington. I'd get to my car for about 6:45 to 7 am and it would take about 10 mins to get to the motorway. It was already queuing by then. This didn't seem to disperse until well after 10. Usually I'd drive into the middle of Manchester city centre and back out along the M602 rather than crawl round the M60 - even if it took as long as the M60 the fact that I was moving was a benefit - often it was quicker. Helps when you know the rat runs in Manchester though!Comment

Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View PostM60 Anti clockwise, M66 and M65: average speed of 70mph often hitting 90mph. This was at the peak of rush hour. Beat that.Comment

I always feel the biggest problem with cycling in London is not car drivers. Its the pedestrians.Comment
