    Just sank into my armchair with a double shot of Scotch. All my troubles have gone away at last. I've revisited a few posts i've made during the day which made me chuckle. It's been a rough day at the office, i'll just leave it at that.

    He's only been here for all of 5 minutes & he's forward thinking already. I'm impressed & pleased to hear about the move.

    Yeah, i've told family back home about the bus lane & they can't get their heads around it. It's the single dumbest idea since the introduction of The Glider. It's obviously a mode of transport that nobody else wanted. For anybody interested look it up.

    It's cost effective & relatively simple to achieve but it's hardly going to save the planet, which is what has been requested from us.

    They're cutting back production as global sales have dipped. Competition in the small car sector is fierce & they're feeling the heat from newcomers & main rivals alike. I have heard but cannot verify that in the very near future they intend to produce LCV's only. I can only see this happening...

    They could & should be doing a lot more. The longer we spend naval gazing on the subject of Brexit, the longer it'll take to secure deals with our European partners. Without them we'll die, plain & simple.

    The issues are complex so i don't really want to go into them right now. What i will say is this is a joint venture (which is common in this particular sector nowadays) which will produce multiple products which will go into a number of different vehicles. So there are a number of difficulties...

    It just gets better. Just received an update regarding the car. The work won't be completed until the 9th now due to the increased backlog. When pressed they couldn't give a definitive answer as to why it will take so long or even if it would be ready to collect on that date. The world's gone...

    I'm involved in the automotive sector which let's be frank, has faced many difficulties when it comes to manufacturing within the UK. Investment is there but it always feels like we're late to the party somehow. That being said £25M has been invested in new technologies which should see us...

    If we're at the forefront then why does it always feel like we're lagging well behind?

    I finally got around to dropping my car off at the repair centre. The backlog for repairs has gotten well out of hand. Anyhow i was offered a mid-size runaround which i refused. Instead i decided to use the public transport on offer. What a mistake that was. Niall ought to know this well. I...

    Our failures to innovate & adapt to global changes have proven to be extremely costly. We're all too often far too late to the party.

    We need to create the right framework in order to create better jobs in order to help these kids with future career choices. Instead of turning our backs on our industries we ought to be backing them, much like the French do. Successive governments have failed us in this regard.

    I had a female student declare we were breaching her human rights because we asked her to put her phone away whilst working. She didn't last the week. That's just the tip of the iceberg.

    A lot of them are disillusioned. They've completed their schooling, received good grades & want their day in the sun. They don't want to work long hours. They don't want to work shifts. They don't want to get their hands dirty. They only care for the easy option. Their expectations aren't...
