The piaggio mp3 LT 250 and 400 are wide enough to be classed as tricycles 
Wouldl look like such a douchebag on one though

Looks like Laura's got an interview next week

Sat in traffic this morning in 1st but with the clutch in my car decided to start sounding like a tractor. Put in nuetral and it got worse, started driving again and it got a bit better then suddenly stopped.
Any ideas?
release bearing? my old corsa b did this AFTER I had the clutch replaced

I'll see what I can find Alun 
Mike, just an admin job 2.5 days a week. 18k starting though (pro rata) 
So means working 2.5 days a week 9-5 she'll earn the same as she would at the nursery doing 7.30-6 for 40 hours a week

Hope she gets it Joe seems decent money for the hours!
Admins at our place are on £13k - £14k doing 40hr weeks!
Neo, 100miles a day on a 125 might get a bit tedious!
I currently do 60mile round trip should go to about 30miles when I move would then consider a bike!
Would a bike reduce your commute time through traffic?!
That's what tempts myself, could save 30mins sitting at 0-5mph!

I actually can't believe it's that much. I was on £18k until the start of this year doing a fuck load more than admin
Think it's time I started looking for a new job TBH

Some days yes. The A12 has a habit of becomming a car park, lately there have been a lot of accidents so the road goes from 2 to 1 lane a lot (maybe 3 out of 10 journeys a week)
I can imagine it would become tedious, but I rarely see 70 nowadays on the drive home because its stop start, tend to just sit at 55/60 and it takes me the same amount of time which is depressing Why have a fun car when I can only enjoy it once a week or so

+1 on that, I did my full bike test a few months before my car test and my driving instructor was always saying about how my observation was good and did roundabouts really well etc. I own roundabouts tbh

chain is gold
and pedals are white
