White is always a good choice, but it sort of depends on the job. I think when I got one job I was at for 10 years, I walked in in a denim shirt and blue jeans, with long hair, asking about slide film. They asked if I wanted a job, after a discussion about films and processing, as someone had just quit.

This is not a job interview, Accy has given up on life now, including getting another job.

There is still hope that he might come round.

I admire your optimism.

I have won a small Bond, Premium Bond prize, £50 as it happens Excellent timing as I wanted to buy a potting bench. I have cobbled together some planks over an old chair, but that is not the correct working height.

Last night's date with Luca was good! A rather sinister ending but good. I will not say how Montalbano gave away a clue, in case @Reynard has not watched it yet.

@Reynard[/USER] has not watched it yet.

Was that "A Nest of Vipers", Wol?

If so, I watched it on Saturday night. That episode was one of the more unsettling ones, but still really good.

Wouldn't have minded having a go at Pasquano's breakfast... Loved that scene.

[QUOTE 4946279, member: 21629"]2 bicycles have been stolen from our back garden, Apollo and GT. Alas both mine and this puts me into a very difficult situation as I've got no bikes for local commuting and will need to walk long distances. Thieve is known but that won't help as he's homeless drug dealer.[/QUOTE]

Oh c**k... That's not good.

Had a good little score in a local charity shop this morning. Two hand-tinted copperplate engravings of Ely Cathedral, two limited edition Keith Hastings prints signed by the artist and three railway poster prints (repros) for a tenner, plus a first edition set of Winston Churchill's history of WW2 for three quid. Feel rather pleased with myself.

I can't decide what shirt to wear for my job centre interview. Yellow,pink,white,red and white..or maybe i should wear a t-shirt with a track top?

When i got there i remembered that it was an anxiety and depression seminar,not an interview i was attending. After about half an hour the session was cancelled, because half the group had left due to having panic attacks.


I wore the red and white shirt by the way.

Yes, it was. I thought that he knew who it was when Luca did not respond to her trying to kiss him.

You couldn't make it up

I'm wondering what has happened to @The Velvet Curtain , has @User14044 upset him so he's flounced or has @potsy reported him to @Hill Wimp for abuse. Has @User got him tied up somewhere or has he put me on his 'ignore' list.

[QUOTE 4946553, member: 21629"]It doesn't suck. It's vital for me to have a cheap bike for commuting.

23/05/2007 I've been hit by car while cycling. Flied over the bonnet, crushed windscreen with my head (helmet rules) and landed on the road. Didn't feel any pain due to shock. Been X-rayed from toes to head but it didn't show any fractures.
I lived 5 minutes by foot from hospital those days but it took me 45 minutes to get home - pain finally kicked in. Terrible pain. Hips or pelvis, that area of body.
Since then I cannot walk long distances because pain kicks in after a mile or so. Cycling is ok because pelvic bones don't get any body weight (or not enough) because of body position.[/QUOTE]
Any local bike co-ops or other such schemes?

Anything like that goes missing around here, and I call around to local pawn shops and let them know what's up. Then, when he goes in there to fence his goods for money, he'll wish the cops had caught him.
