When I had appendicitis I couldn't move or even sit up in bed for 2-3 days. I thought something was wrong but my mum thought i'd pulled a muscle and refused to phone the doctor. Eventually after about 5 days of having it I started feeling extremely nautious and I was sick about 40 times in an hour then eventually passed out. Next thing I remember was waking up in the middle of the night in hospital with a nurse sticking a painkiller up my arse. Not exactly pleasant!

Well just a random one really, what do all you guys do for a living?
I am a fire and security system service and commissioning engineer. Also I am a qualified electrician.
I'm serving my time as an electrician at the moment. When I'm done I'm hopefully going to do fire/warning alarm systems offshore.

The best option for you is to buy a mini or a car with a similar following (old fords and VW) with a little bit of work to do and just have a go at it. if you get stuck you can always find information online about the car and parts will come easily. Just remeber and start small you don't want to be replacing floor pans etc on your first go. get something with fairly little to do and then buy a haynes manual for the car you've bought.
you will learn about cars on the internet but you'll never get the practicle experience you need. half of working on a car is knowing a bit about it the other half is unseizing 30 year old nuts etc. it's no good knowing what part to replace if you can't get it off

Break off the chain and get the bike tonight, then pay the fine and ask for your bike back tommorow. Could be a nice earner.

I've been out of work for... well, too long now.
I now have my car back on the road, so I can finally go job hunting! Thing is, I have no idea what I want to do.
I was a car tyre fitter before, which was alright, but the place I worked at was overpriced and never busy! The hours were terrible and non-negotiable, so I left, was sick of it.
I don't have much experience in anything really, apart from tyre fitting, and I also worked in Halfords Bikehut part-time for 2 years.
I want to do something practical, not sitting at a computer all day (Do that enough as it is!)
I'm pretty stuck on ideas, so what do you do, and how did you get the job?
Did you need any training/experience when you started?
I'm going to have a drive around the local towns tomorrow and see if anything comes up...
By the sounds of things you should get an apprenticeship. I was in a similar situation but decided against a career in the motor trade because i thought i would have become bored of working on cars. so I went for an apprenticeship as an electrician/plumber and i'm now in my second year. it's quite a nice combination of the practical side - instalation, maintanence and craftmanship, Aswell as the less hands on part - Testing, inspection, regulations and problem solving. The money isn't great in the first year but after that it's ok. I've got evenings and weekends to work on cars and homers etc pay really well so they pay for most of my car parts/cars.

I'm in for saturday I think. Got football on sunday so won't be out then. Never been to cambusbarron yet so looking forward to it

I used a fein multimaster for mine to cut a rectangle rather than an oval out.
-
I really wish i'd made an appearance on saturday. I thought i'd only have to work for a couple of hours in the morning but no turned into an all day job
. still friday night at st nicks and sunday afternoon at montrose/bervie was a good laugh. Bring on the next one soon. Fort bill or something once the weathers better??

looks cool man. will be a fairly impressive demo move when you land it.
I've seen a bmx rider pull it before though and he landed on the backwheel brakeless and hopped up about a handlebar height ledge it was fairly impressive at the time but he was more interested in landing on the backwheel and carrying the manual off.
good luck

There may be no specialist's on monkey law in here but it is more than possible that there could be a pet monkey owner (if it is legal), a zoo keeper, a lawyer/solicitor (who's dealt with something similar before) or even someone who works for animal welfare on here. so why the flaming, if you don't know the answer can't you just assume that the person with the question does know how to google something and leave the topic? It's not that hard.

you sure it's not just the road surface? if it's only happening for 30 seconds every hour I very much doubt it's anything thats been mentioned above.

buckled wheel? to be honest if it's any of these things you should really feel the steering wheel vibrate alot more than the rest of the car.
take the wheels off and just check everything looks straight and tight, check the tyres for uneven wear and lay them on a flat surface to check they are not buckled.
I doubt it's the tracking but it's working checking all you have to do is hold the steering wheel striaght on a flat road and make sure the car doesn't move to the left or right.
if it's none of that then go and get your wheels balanced.

Would drugs be as fun if they were legalised though? I'm not that sure, I think possibly some of the fun would disappear especially with E's. I don't think drugs should be legalised because it's important that people understand the risks involved with taking them.
My personal experience with cannabis has put me off. After about 2 years of occasional use, I started to feel a little bit paranoid and felt like everything was eating away at me.

Nothing severe up here yet, it's really dry and there are loads of snow clouds so it won't be long no doubt. Providing i'm working indoors tommorow I cant wait, if not i'll be pissed off big time. still good fun in the car

if your just riding about for fun and your not worried about pace etc then just go with whatever feels right. you ideally want a setup for twisty, rooty and rocky sections and one for the big hits and drop offs but if you have both of these conditions on one run, which you will, then you can't really stop and change the set up. so you should find what feels right in all conditions set it like that and keep it so you get used to it.

Sounds cool. I'll definitely be out and about. I've got football then college night out on the 27th though so Saturday morning will be fun.
I'm shocked though. I haven't ridden like half those spots you just listed and there all within 20 Minutes of my house. What a slacker.
I better get some practice in haven't been out in ages.

I was well into it when I was younger then gave it up when I started trials. Teaches you valuable life lessons aswell as how to protect yourself which is pretty decent.
I'm all for people learning aslong as it's for the right reasons but the thugs who seem to have taken over the local club annoy me, i just wish they'd f**k off back to boxing or something.
Stick in though mate and just remember it's not all about the fighting the life skills and self control are equally important.

Well i've got a peice of shit vtr now and i had a 106 gti for about a month. I liked the gti felt like a proper little race car, handled well and was pretty quick this also meant it was a rattley, loud, tempremental, unreliable and expensive to run so it had to go. I got the vtr instead and so far i've gone through 3 wheels, 1 stub axle, 1 clutch release bearing, 1 lower arm and front discs. In the space of about 2 months so yeah it's gonna go aswell. i'm starting to properly hate french cars. although i think i'm about to invest in a 1.6 205 gti so hopefully that will change my mind again

Just turn up the pressure at the stopcock a little. That should stop it. Don't go nuts though or your get wet when you turn the tap on.
