Gidday from Richard

[VKV80]

Hi all

I'm one of those people with a mental block when it comes to writing about themselves.

I first joined in 2008, then got busy with other stuff and fell by the wayside before joining again late last year

Name: Richard
Location: Stafford
D.O.B: 11 September, 1956 - makes me 53 now, (going on about 19 at heart, if not in body :rolleyes:)
Occupation: Civil engineer. Starting a new job with Leighton Contractors on 29 March. On holidays for three weeks - so Vicky the VK is making progress again. :p
Marital status: Doing it again!
MSN Address: What's so special about an MSN Address? :confused: You can get me on bear.richard@gmail.com. If there's something special about MSN let me know and I'll set one up. (Remember: I'm from the age before mobile phones and internet!!::eek: Be gentle with me)

I'll see if I can post some details and pics of Vicky in the Members Rides forum.

Anyway, good to be back and looking forward to some more cruises

Cheers
Richard

yeh it was good to see it come along, i was managing traffic control out there (might sound easy but taking care of 30 people, 7 construction sites and various road conditions that had to be planned on a daily basis it was a major headache lol), from the first core sampling ( and the endless tram tracks that where hit despite what city council records say lol ) but after 8 months of 13 - 16hr shifts 6 days a week i had enough and said blah seeya lol

No, i wouldn't have said managing traffic control on that one was easy. LOL.

The 13-16 hour shifts 6 days a week would do me in too. I wouldn't have lasted anywhere near 8 months. :D
