Youd make a excellent Butler John.

I'll have a word with Lord Beaverbrook, see if he needs a good man.

Have you considered stunt driving????
You're a natural.

Take the money ,retrain,smile more.Quite easy really.

You still @home John?????
If so do it, no better chance.Mortgages,wives,kids etc limit the chance to do this.

A butler who does vehicle recovery-he has all the experience.

Oh and well done to Ovlov. sm4

Nice work with getting the job.

Things aint much easier down under. The mining companies are laying off, so you've got mechanics, FLT Drivers, Logistics Guys - all the things that I do, swarming into town with 10-15 yrs plus experience, whinging about how they' cant afford the repayments on their new V8 Falcons/Commodores and houses now the markets gone.......
I believe the reason why the wages were so good was to prepare them for the time when the wages WERE'NT so good!

Oz has escaped the worse of the recession, but in a few yrs its gonna be Mad Max part 4 over here, and I'm gonna be ready for it!

Rant over :)
