Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Spent the best part of two weeks prepping for an interview, read and re-read hundreds of pages of mind numbing info, ran through loads of different scenarios and examples and did everything I could before it.
And didn't get it, what's worse is nothing I prepared for came up at all. It felt like I'd gone into the wrong room for the interview.

That's sucks. It might not be so bad though and at least it's all out in the open.

Shame about your fronds to.

It's all good practice if nothing else. Things better pick up soon at my place or I'll be prepping for interviews to, it's okay the bosses saying I'll be the last one out of the door but that just means everyone else will be gone to. Which makes me feel even worse as some of them will never work again.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
This isn't a moan or a rant.Just a day of sadness as we lay another family member to rest..too many lately and it makes one ponder on one's own mortality.

Southern Rail must be the worse TOC there is as my brother and sister try to get to work and back this next 5 days.

They were good until the RMT started to act up. Glad I'm not reliant on them now.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Even when they are not on strike they were still pretty bad old boy according to my family as their trains arrived late and were packed to the rafters like sardines and commuters had to cope with sauna like heat temperatures as well and sadly this week looks like its going to be even worse for my family and other commuters as RMT and Southern Rail continue to act for themselves rather then the train commuters who sadly are the last thing they consider it seems.

You are very lucky old boy as yes being out of rush hour certainly helps but the closer you get to London you will find rush hour never stops.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
Got my scan yesterday now it's just a matter of waiting for the results to be sent to my GP. I do hope it will clarify the reason for the pain & the yellow coloured sickness I'm experiencing atm.
