Scrap that. My job trial went well. I'll be handing my notice in at VW on Wednesday. I'll be working for The Treat Kitchen Confectionery!

Volkswagen at Daybrook Kev

Off to trial a job on Monday to see if I like it and if I do, it's mine. Fingers crossed!

Also watched the Strictly introductory programme last night. Not watched the series for a few years now. Looks like it's going to be a good season!

Thanks Catfan. Hope you and Mrs C are well

Another long day at work here for me. Glad to be relaxing on the sofa with a cuppa now. Cold tonight. Heatings had to come on!

I do that with my nephews regularly Catfan!

Happy birthday Michael. Hope you've had a good one!

I only really use the site on my phone now. No real change on here using Google Chrome

Never been to Newstead Abbey. I'm planning a trip to Burghley House with a friend in the upcoming weeks. Anyone been?

Another stressful day at work today. Horrible to be stuck at work when the weather is so lovely! Hoping an internal transfer into a new role goes through smoothly at work. Currently at home (new home - not sure if I've told everyone that I've fled the nest, moved out and in with my partner) and just enjoyed a delicious steak dinner. Not looking forward to another early start tomorrow!

Didn't know you were there Waddo. Sad to have missed you!

I'll hopefully see a few of you there in around an hour. Lovely day outside to celebrate the life of an equally lovely man

I have managed to swap my days around at work and will be there on Wednesday.

I'm only just seeing this thread. Awful shock to hear the news of his passing. God bless him. Lovely man who introduced me to a lot of wonderful music. Always had time for a young in like me. Will be sadly missed. Please will someone inform me of funeral arrangements as I'd like to pay my respects.

Sorry I've not been very active on here as of late. I have been really busy with work and moving into a new home. Hope everyone is well

Up late for me tonight but not at work tomorrow as I'm attending a funeral. Not pleasant but a necessary evil. Off to sleep for me now. Hope everyone is well.

Reading through these I have to say, they've given me a right chuckle. Some very odd and peculiar sayings around that's for sure!

The only place I recollect a very strong tobacco smell from is from Imperial Tobacco when I worked at Audi. It was especially strong during the Summer months and I really liked the smell even though I'm not a smoker myself.

Only used Photoshop a handful of times and found very confusing and not very user friendly at all. The programmes Cliff Ton suggested are the ones I use. I run Pixlr from my phone to edit photos quickly to share on various social media sites, and used GIMP on my laptop previously. I find that for what I need to do with my photos, I don't really need anything to fancy so just stick to the bog standard Windows Photo Editor, alternatively, because my phone has such a high spec camera, I just play around with the contrast etc on that until I'm happy.

Kath - I was up late until around 2am I think unless it was later than I realised!

I do the same as you Margie and always bypass the 'games'

Glad I'm not the only one who hadn't heard of him Malcolm!

Certainly glad I don't use that car park. Never liked multi storey car parks so avoid them at all costs. Normally when I drive into town I park in the Victoria Centre Car Park (weekday evenings after 6pm it's virtually empty) or alternatively I park in a small car park just off Huntingdon Street, hidden gem that one!

Never really knew anything about this. Find this sort of thing fascinating though!
