Good luck Mark. I have to say I find your whole attitude to what must be a pretty stressful time amazing and your positive outlook on life in general is an inspiration.

Cheers dude, that was a nice thing to say, my glass is AWAYS half full. Just keep topping it up! :lol:

There will be a sad side to losing my job (if). I won't be able to take you wonderful Joyce (the boss) to Pilates each week as my car is a company car.

We could go two's up on the mountain bike, I'll run that one past her tomorrow 8) while scoffing that lemon cake.
(your mat Andrew, is being moved away from the cake)

OR I COULD?

Well. The Due to letter landed on the door mat today (Friday 6th Feb). :?
It read. :arrow: "Due to us being a bunch of morons and couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery, the due to letter will have to be delayed for another week, we will try to mess your lives around as much as is physically possible" :twisted:

So now I have named it 'Finger day'.

Friday
February
Firteenth

You know when you've been F'd

Plan 'B' for me. With only [color=#FF0000]4[/color] days :shock: to the big day I have started the ball rolling by putting my CV on Jobsite (yeah the one on tv), Just in case.

But a better job might come my way even if I don't go, it doesn't hurt looking. If I get a job in Bike+ I'll make sure you all get a massive discount :lol: .

Friday 13th was the due day.

It came and went with me calling them all day trying to find out any information. Delays after delays saying they would send out letters on the evening of the 13th, this then changed to we would find out more on Monday.

This then changed again to me finding a 'Due to adverse trading conditions and a global recession, the company has decided to reduce the number or people employed bla bla bla bla cow smell bla bla bla.......' letter on my doormat this morning, with all the other sh1t of my shoes.

So decided to to take the other half out with me on the CR (her first club run).

Lunch in the Vineyard at the bottom of Box Hill.. Then ....

We managed to catch you all up at the bottom of the Hill just turning into the Zig Zag and even managed to overtake most of you up the hill. Think in just under 3 minutes, Stats are as follows :- Av HR - 75, Av power 145BHP, Av speed - wow, Av Cadence - 0, 35mpg, aircon - on, radio - on, shouting encouregment to all in the ACC, done. It is a nice sight to see all the riders flying up and down various roads.

Had a little chat with lots of friendly faces at the top cafe, I then set off home but along the top road the car suddenly viered off the road out of control and before I knew what was happening I was in the Dauphin car park. Oh well, might as well go in and have a look while I'm here! Had a nice chinwag with Dave Fleming who wants me to go in with both of my bikes for few turbo sessions to get the set up right. The other half offered to pay for this.(Hmmmmmm bike number 4? :? )

Continued homeward bound enjoying the sights of the ACC in full flow. Well done to you all.

To sum up........

F**k the 'due to' letter and smile. :D

Got something to wipe the sh1t off with now though, sadly.
