There are some absolute GEMS on this forum!!

That's right, guys.

We have some first class guys on this forum....gentlemen, whom I would be more than proud to call my true friends....guys whom I've never set eyes on in my life....guys whom I can never forget!!

One of them came so close to offering me a cash loan (in case I was really desperate because of my present jobless state), which of course I very politely and thankfully declined.

One of them has gone out of his way to send my Resumé to his couterpart company here in Auckland so they could see if I could fit somewhere into their organization.

Without taking any names, this just goes to show the calibre of people we have here. I am extremely proud of these two chaps in particular....as well as the others who have conveyed their good wishes to me.....either by way of PM or by way of e-mails.

TRF would have to be the best internet site on earth.

So for heaven's sake, guys, let's stop all the bicker-backer of what's been happening these last few days and carry on with just being good friends and having the time of our lives.

Think we could do just that?

Cheers and good wishes to all - JJ

As a new guy, I didn't know about your job hunt. Best of luck with that JJ, I know the job market today is the worse (on a world wide basis) that I've known in my lifetime.

JJ,
Great comments. I visit a few hobby related forums for , , , , and to learn from the vast collective knowledge.
It's important to be positive and ADD rather than subtract from the conversation.
So fare warning, say the wrong thing on cycling forums and they'll rip you a new one!

Enough! There are ladies present and this is a family oriented forum. Of high moral standards!





























Now, did that sound convincing or what?
