Totally off topic post but being as lil bruv dos`nt have a PC and we (my
family) seem to get nothing but bad news I thought it`d make a change to
post some good news :-)

The past few years my bruv ( the ace welder and builder of Go-ped Mk 11) has
been unable to work, being a single parent since the "bitch from Hell" left
him with both the kids and debts to floor a small African country, and has
found it hard to make ends meet.

No savings, nada.

The kids are great and now they`re at school leaving age he started looking
for work.
First job application, I printed out a CV for him and he got to the
interview. Local firm and an hour and a half later he`s got the job :-)
Result!
Checked the Irish Lotto results this morning and he`s won £250.
This means more than it sounds.

He dos`nt have to sell his pride and joy, Honda V45 Sabre, can get it taxed
( I was lending him the money, it`s his only transport), and he bought me
some beer :-))))

No-one deserves it more than him.

I like the piccies of Go-Ped II on your website, but hate the constant
pestering to download CoolPage!

Kewl, here's hoping he's hitting some good times and the bad ones are all
behind him.

<AOL on both counts>

In fact, Petel's website is one of the more interesting ukrm home pages.
I *love* the old pictures of his Dad.
