For the last 19 months, I have been manager of a nursing home - when i went there it had a few problems....
LOL - understatement of the year!
it is now a nice little, nurse led unit - needs a major refurb and rebuild but, the care is highly regarded :)
I have been getting bored, and having gone through the debacle of Southern Cross folding, I was quite nervous of the future.
I am pleased to share with folks a phone call I received this morning, making a formal offer for a new job - and a new challenge
so, bars open :)
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Nice one, Pete. Having seen the way Southern Cross operate I'm not sad to see them suffering, but it's all the workers and patients I feel sorry for.
Sounds like a good start to 2012!
And I'll have a pint of Chateauneuf du Pape. Cheers!

Congratulations Pete, I'll have a pint with you.
I'm sure it is well deserved and hope it all works out well for you.

For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
