    Thanks Shanes, guess I won't bother watching it now ! This kinda counts as a SPOILER.

    Had a run up through Tintwistle, stopped at a roadside café for a brew and a bacon egg and spam bap (don't ask about the spam as a mate got the bap and brew, biggest slice of spam I have ever seen, lol ) ,on to Sheffield, Chesterfield (clay cross for a brew). Matlock, Buxton then down the cat & Fiddle to home, around 120 miles. Cool first thing at Tintwistle but warmed up a bit later. Good to be out but to much traffic about. (Sunday drivers )....

    Took my mate to our local bikers cafe for breakfast (in a manly way ahem). Anyway only two other people are there, one an instructor and the other his student. My mate starts nattering away to them both and then I notice the bloke doing his CBT is none other than Steve McLaren (ex England manager). My big dopey mate after five minutes of chatting says to Steve "do I know you coz you look familiar, have you ever been in prison". It took four hours before I stopped laughing.....

    He's got a point though, could have been done for impersonating a manager, obtaining financial benefit by deception.

    Oh, and crimes against the English language as well, for sure.

    Finally some days off, although I spent most of it asleep having finished at 5am this morning. Went for a drink in a pub garden with the better half this evening :)

    Went for my IAM exam today.
    Didn't get a 'first' (aka aced it) but got a fairly respectable pass :)

    Well done :) I remember doing my exam in a freezing (literally) November. It was good fun though and all very worthwhile.

    This wasn't today (it was actually a while ago) but that's probably a good thing as I am going to have to be very careful about what I say and avoid specifics!

    A while ago my colleagues and I executed a drugs warrant for an address where the male living there was suspected of dealing drugs. After letting ourselves in ;) we had an excellent result. Not only were drugs recovered and other items of naughtiness (no, I don't mean a top shelf magazine) - but there was another result that made me very happy, being a biker.

    In this male's lock-up at the address was a couple of years old Yamaha R1, which later turned out to be a stolen motorcycle. After the forensics lot had done their business, I was a very happy chap when I wheeled it out, waiting for it to be recovered. Bless my colleagues, they also said that I should get the privilege being a motorcyclist myself.

    Hopefully, some biker, somewhere, will be seeing their beloved again :D

    Cheers Sossige
    My examiner was from the MET and was a really nice guy.
    He saw I was wired on coffee/nerves (+not much sleep) and blethered a way until I was a bit more settled :)

    He gave me the choice of knowing the result before or after the debrief I chose after and the one section I though I messed up he said I did alright, so I kinda new then that I'd passed :)
