Well, the plan for becoming a bus driver has progressed one stage further. I have an interview with Travel West Midlands. Typically, it’s on my birthday (5th August for anyone who might have forgotten 😉 I have to be there for 8.30am.

Well, I don’t know how that’s happened. I could have sworn I had made more posts recently. I haven’t been working the past two weeks, I registered with the agency but no work yet. It feels weird not going to work every day like I have been for the past year. I do find it… Read More »

It will be even easier in future, now that I’ve backed up the database. Annoying, anyway. Some people obviously don’t have anything better to do with their time.… Read More »

I’m a bit scared. The last time I drove a car on the road was in April 1998. That’s over 5 years ago. On 12th July I have to drive one of these: !http://www.ford-van.com/images/lwb-transit.jpg! from Winchester to Nottingham to Reading to Winchester.
