  1. Not a technical genius. Just a very good social engineer. Plus 'tardy behaviour from OP.

     

    Never ever ever give out your password to anyone/anything....

     

    Always open online accounts for phones accounts that are yours.

     

    Did I mention

  2. a) I don't like fecking people over and I know there is an element of that in any contracting job -

    You only have to be a b*d if you are being treated like a C* and how people treat you is entirely down to your persona.

    Most of the time you work nice, sometimes you have to be Atilla the C*.

    You only have a functional contract when you get paid for the first months work, So be prepared to walk away.

    You get used to be lied too.

    I've had some fantastic bosses, agents, colleagues and jobs over the years and have had some real horrors. Just the way the cookie crumbles.

     

    B) I am a bit of a gobshite - I suffer the same disease... But it's better ooot than in. Some places it's cost my job. No regrets! Ever :teeth:

  3. I've been contracting for about 30 years.

    I've lived and worked in 12 countries during that time.

    Contracts have run for a couple of days to seven years in the South of France.

    It's not for everybody.

    If you like a stable home life with family and friends, it's definitely not for you.

    If you find it difficult to make new friends and acquaintances, you find it a very lonely existence.

    You have to look after your own arse, no excuses, it's all down to you!

    You have to better than anyone you work with... It's a very harsh cut throat world.

    You have to learn something new every day or you will become obsolete.

    You can be sacked in an instance and the contract you have isn't worth the paper it's written on.

     

    Personally I couldn't do a permie job. My brain would explode with boredom.

  4. Nope. Buy second hand frames wheels etc. Very few people ride downhill bikes hard.

    Most seem to be bought for 2 weeks holidays in the Alps and never ridden.

    Lots of cheap deals over the winter.

    BB size will depend on the bike.

    Once you know what kind of frame you have, check with the manufactures web site for the bottom bracket size.

     

    What kind of bike are you thinking about?

  5. I'd be up for that. :D

    Been snowboarding for 25 years, skied a good bit before that.

    Spent most of my time riding in France, Austria.

    Only really ride offpiste if I have a choice.

    Not keen on snow snakes or the mogul mice.

    I'm old and wrinkle, so I don't do much apres ski nowadays. :headhurt:

  6. Miltek... Only loud when you boot it.

    I went through the really stupidly loud exhaust stage. :headhurt: Loosened my fillings and gave me migraines.

    My boss could feel the rumble when I started my car about 1KM away.

    He's a bass guitarist in a speed metal band. A tribe not renown as having any kind of hearing ability.

    I like my car better now :D

  7. Spacers are the work of the devil....

    Being a geeky engineer I never under stood why people would put these on a car. 'Cos it looks good in not a suitable answer!

    I've replace two wheel bearings in the last year on my Infinti FX-35 'cos they had 25mm spacers. I now use them as Frisbee.
