Right now, we don't have a choice. You don't seem to be threatened with loss of job. You're just pee'd off you're not getting a pay rise. IF (and it's a big IF) I still have a job come Thursday and they say there is no money for pay rises this year then I'll be happy as I will still have a job. Yes, I could find something else pretty easily, but I'm happy where I am and doing what I do. What do you bring to the table, what value do you add to your employer and what makes you think you are deserving of a pay rise? If you just expect one every year then methinks you are going to be sadly disappointed.

I'd agree with those who said you should be thankful you have a job right now and quit whinging about getting a payrise. I got notification yesterday that a "period of consultation is to take place" to cut 10% of my immediate team and that's coming from a company who is very strong position in the market, despite the downturn. I *think* I'm okay as I'm the only person in Scotland who does what I do for my employers, but nothing is guaranteed. I'll find out by Thursday if I still have a job. You don't seem to have that threat hanging over you so you should be thankful you're not in the position of uncertainty so many of us have been put in, through no fault of our own, and quit p****** and moaning.

I saw the topic title on the front page and didn't even have to click on the link to know who posted the topic. Stalker

Out of date list supplied. Now corrected.

I am advised that there will be a "much-enhanced" one-hour programme broadcast on Eurosport following each outdoor round. It won't be live like the Indoors, but the logistics would make that impossible so it's understandable. Further details to follow.

I'm sure there will be an official announcement in due course, but I've asked for clarification as I've not heard anything either on this.

Banchory (presume you mean Craiglash?) will fall under BAMCC and Bigfoot is usually pretty good at getting results on TC. Now some photos go along with those results would be nice...

At least the exchange rate is more in your favour this year. Should help Noel when he has to post your bail

Not relating to Monts or bikes, but an analogy of how things are going. I bought some Spanish-made oak doors last August for a kitchen revamp. Visited supplier on Monday to see if they were still available to put elsewhere in house and price increase was ridiculous. Guy said it wasn't down to them, or even the Spanish and the Pound/Euro exchange rate, but the fact they deal in dollars and the pound has gone totally tits-up against the dollar. Montesa are owned by Honda and Honda like most globals deal in dollars. I know working for a Yank corporation based in the UK our prices are jumping big time soon due to the poor exchange rate.

No apology necessary I'll move it if it gets too far off-topic, but it's interesting and gotta love those old motors. Where can we find out more about these events? Never even heard of them

Although TC is bikes, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be keen to see pics of these cars

He's a resident of Spain so possibly not. He's also showing in the championship standings which he and Dougie haven't done previously when they've competed.

She was off like a rat up a drainpipe with my old Canon 10D yesterday at Kinlochleven and had a blast. Must admit this is pretty bloody good for a total newbie to DSLR's & Trials in general. Shame I only have one flashgun or it might have made the DL G2F Press release...

Altogether now "Step we gaily, on we go..."

This Forum has been in place from day one, before any of the mainstream manufacturers made their four-stroke announcements. Yes, maybe it's time to lose it

What?

Ah yes. The year every Scotsman became an honorary Cameroonian!

You object to

No. It's a TLA.

I went for B. Good choice BTW, it's a bit hard to cheat on your wife when you marry her one night and then commit suicide the very next day!

For those who have absolutely no idea what Mr Totalshell is on about! I've had the SSDT Beta prep sheets for a while, but it's a bit too early to be putting them on the front page. Here they are in PDF Format: SSDT_help_sheet_2009_EVO_.pdf SSDT_help_sheet__2009_Rev_3_.pdf They'll go up on the front page a bit nearer the time. Note that these have been extensively amended, tidied and re-formatted by me from the orginals received from Beta UK. They are, therefore, copyright of Trials Central and must not be published in this format on other websites.
