Hi NickOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostHi EO
Thanks - it sounds as if the gig will be a bit intense, but in a good way. The timing is pretty good though, as I've got the better part of a couple of weeks to be looking in detail at some of the stuff they deal with.
Apparently it involves working with their R&D team, which seems to be dealing with some pretty cutting-edge stuff
Ah well - intense can be good as it helps stem the onset of complacency, or so I find.
Sounds interesting - do you know what the hours are? You need either to bee off the M42 by 7am or not on it til 9:30am, if you know what I mean...
No chance of any WFH?The squint, the cocked eye and clenched first are the cornerstones of all Merseyside communication from birth to graveComment

No details yet - the last guy got canned on Friday, the pimp posted the gig on Jobserve on Saturday morning. I had a chat with him this afternoon, but it was just a fairly detailed description of the company, the team, what they do - nothing about times, WFH, and so forth.Originally posted by EqualOpportunities View PostHi Nick

It doesn't actually involve the M42 - it's a quick dive down the A446 where it branches off at the M6-M42 junction. Still, that junction can get pretty chaotic
A few years ago I was at that junction heading for Bristol - in my rear-view mirror I saw a guy who wanted the M6 forget he was towing a caravan and smack it straight into the side of a BMW as he tried to switch lanes

It's just amazing how much stupidity one sees on the roads, especially when one does as many miles per year as I do. I am genuinely astonished that there aren't a greater number of serious accidents.
Do you think your current steed would be up to the job, or would you need to upgrade to a later model? Something like a '97 maybe

According to the VIN, this coming February will be twenty years since its date of manufacture (although it wasn't on the road until August). Still going strong

The friend I bought it from actually told me that as well - he reckoned talking nicely to it was the most effective way of ensuring it started on cold mornings
