penguins and argies, they are surveying off the coast with a repainted warship apparently. about to kick off again, lol.

nah don't think i'll get that job, another one to add to the list, applying for about three a week for the past year, had 5 interviews in the last 6 weeks and thats been it, gettin pretty pissed off now, over qualified for a trainee position and under qualified for anything more senior, stuck in the middle.

just need to keep applying and see what happenms.

we did a route in the car last year which I thought would have been pretty canny on the bike.. up to Nairn, then a roundabout way to Grangetown on Spey and down by the side of the Cairngorms.

We also went up on the bikes the year before and went to John O groats, and I have the pic under the signpost to prove it ! lol
thats a great road i am up for that :lol:

I'll be there as well as it is only 30 miles south for me I will probably be there (pub) on Fri night as well.
As for a run on the sat/sun the loop down Loch Ness side, Invermoriston, Dornie, Lochcarron, Garve, Strathpeffer, Dingwall, Inverness is good or Ullpool and back is also not too bad.
Mind you if an over exuberant night is spent in the pub on fri/sat night a run the next day is not always the best idea.

Cheers

been plenty of ads on the tv and radio the past few month about this, as a non smoker it doesn't bother me one way or another, but to wake up in the morning and still smell of smoke from the night before is pretty manky, a good few of my friends smoke and they do it responsibly, they don't light up when we are all eating and respect other people by thier actions.

with the budget putting more money on fags again and this ban which will be nationwide soon i guess the government is finally trying to eliminate a habit which for most people is more or less unnessessary, no one needs to smoke, its just a habit they picked up and can't give up, i know peoples freedom is being undermined by telling them what to do, but if they hadn't started in the first place and the national health service was more efficient and didn't have to be overloaded with cancer and lung complaint patients due to smoking then everything would be rosey.

for a cigarette company that is raking in millions from smokers this is going to be a big hit in their pocket, so i'd imagine they will be trying to do anything in their power to keep smokers smoking.

nothing makes me more mad than seeing kids hanging about outside schools smoking, they aren't old enough to know what they are doing, as an adult you are supposed to be responsible enough to take stock of your own actions, but kids need to be nurtured and taught right from wrong, and not follow fads and fashions, be free thinking enough to make thier own minds up.

i don't really know what i'm trying to say here, just a rant, you can't tell people not to do something, that just makes a minority want to do it all the more, this subject and the subject of peoples freedom to do what they want is a huge can of worms, what are they going to tell us we can't do next, drink alcohol, which falls into the same catagory as smoking, its unessessary, but plenty of people do it and enjoy it, just there are some that do it to excess, and fill hospital beds as a consequence, everyone is different, and have different tolerance levels, some smoke, some drink, some do both, but to tell them they can't is wrong.
