I do have a bit of good news though, as of 07:00 today, the recruitment hotline for Avon and Somerset Police opened, allowing multitudes of muppets like myself massacre that number until we got the wondrous sound of a human voice on the other end instead of the dreaded ‘call busy’ tone. I managed to get through, have an application pack coming through and hopefully have a chance at getting one of the highly prized 64 possible slots available.

Mustn’t get too excited though, I’m fighting against 1099 other people for 64 places, I do hope that I get one of them, this is a career that I would love to whole-heartedly pursue.

I need  to calm down and get some sleep soon. Goodnight all, speak soon.

I think for the next one I’m going to get a better microphone though, this one is appalling and I sound like I have a cold. Anyway, it should be good as an experiment. I’m not sure how often I’m going to do one, but as it stands it may only be a bi-monthly until I can:

A) Get a new microphone

B) Be bothered to research topics (and finally):

C) Be bothered to record it and keep posting as well.

In the words of Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson: “How hard could it be?”

New… What’s new… I don’t really want to talk much this week on here because I’m finding it hard enough to talk about stuff on the podcast… I think I’ll leave new stuff for that. Just so I have stuff to actually talk about.

Cheers for now,

Martin

Sooo what have I been up to? Lots and not a lot at the same time is technically the right answer. I’ve been working on a site for a band (Call-To-Arms) you may have read my post which mentioned them back many moons ago, still got loads more to do on that. Well, I have the gallery to fill, which is annoying and time consuming but ultimately rewarding when you see the finished product. Working on my own site, doing little bits and peices here and there, work-work as well, currently on the half-term so we have loads of stuff to keep us busy, mine is an equiptment audit which feels like it will take into next month to do.

Meh, better get back to it I suppose…

You can stop being smug now… This is just a quick on to say that there will be a few graphical changes around here, i’m going to try and keep a continuous theme going throughout. Also www.pillowmint.co.uk ’s forum is up and semi-running and accepting members, so if you wish to join and have a quick chat/read then be my guest.

Anyway, gotta dash now.

ALSO NEW:

1. A new forum – still being constructed.

2. New graphics – there are still some issues to be ironed out.

I think I’m gonna take a few nights to sort these things out and get it all nice-looking and ready for public consumption…
