I used to do a lot of SCUBA (fully paid up resort instructor) and then had a pretty bad bend (decompression sickness).
Basically, I was not going to be able to dive again, which was the only hobby I had had for about 8 years, so was looking for something else, equally as expensive, to fill the void.

Saw the book, bought it on impulse, and thought it looked a jolly good wheeze, so ordered some steel and got cracking. Spent plenty of money on nice toys, Myford lathe, portamig etc. and have learnt loads.

Problem is, I've now since been signed off fit to dive again, so the car is taking longer than planned, as diving does swallow money, especially when you take a housed Nikon D90 camera with you and always planning the next holiday

You have the exact same job as me

Although for the last four weeks I have been a temporary duty manager/key holder with the promise of a permanent job when one opens up. I'm on loan to the second Coventry store. At the end of the week this role disappears as the person I was covering is coming back.

This means that although I am employed by Halfords I actually have no where to go as my original store has no hours to give me anymore and this store has all the people it needs . I hope to rectify this in the next few days lol

I'm normally in 762 Coventry but in 425 at the moment. I think I was on the phone to Poole the other day, we may have spoken to each other
