further too my earlier post about being made redundant for the beginning of the New Year, I'm pleased (pleased ... no f*cking buzzing) to report I've just been offered a new job!
Leaving IT, and going back to what I did in the 80's
I'm pleased to announce I am the New Motorcycle Sales Executive for Chester Motorrad, the local BMW dealership. Wooo hoooo

The HR conversation went something like this:
'Shall we hire Steve? He is practically living here with that 'K' of his, might as well get some useful work out of him!'
'OK, but no staff discount on parts, don't want to bankrupt the dealership!'

lol ..... I think Williams Motorcycles will be sighing a huge sigh of relief
HR conversation probably also included "make him sign a non disclosure agreement..... that'll shut him up"

Did you have to declare your past history as a 'rabble rouser'?

Boxer be or not to be?
If to be, when what will you do about it?
Also, as ambassador of biking community, what is your stance on Road Tax abolishment?
if you expect of oppressed minority support in future policy making, have you made coalition with pig shagger Dave to discuss our community concerns?

One more, before the conference time restrictions, would leave me unanswered- WTF are you doing in the office, in this weather?

Mucho congrats Steve. Now, what sort of a deal can you do me on a System 6 helmet with Bluetooth?
Will you organise the delivery of the complete BMW north wales 2016 bike test fleet to Llangollen for our Welsh weekend participants to "evaluate"?
All the best,
Paul
You really need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the tape.
