[bignick]

Good luck finding a Mr Smith.

Nick

[Standingtall]

Welcome back also. I was watching that Mr & Mrs Smith movie a couple of days ago. hmmmmmm

[LovinTheSurf]

just had a phonecall off a job agency.. im skint, and DESPERATE for money - but i just CANT fone them back :'(

this is ridiculous!!

[bignick]

What have you got to lose by phoning the agency back, they will either take you on or they wont.
You could be kicking yourself by not doing it.

I know its easy for me to say that, but the worse that can happen is they arent interested and you have lost nothing in doing it.

BTW, how bad is your stutter.

[Standingtall]

My friend phone them back, because you will find a way if your desperate enough. I sense your full of enthusiasm and energy. That is how I do it, if it needs to get done, i'll do it. Couple days ago, I needed to fill out paper work for a P/O, and I couldn't say "Material" and services, so I switch them around and still couldn't say "Material". The point is I got it done and the meeting room I rented got their money. We are here to offer you support. Good luck.

[LovinTheSurf]

you're right :) My stutter isnt 'that' bad. its obvious I *have* it, but only usually for the first minute or so until i calm down and my heartbeat re-regulates itself!

i will ring them back tomorrow morning.. i will i will :determined:

Great stuff. I understand what you are going through, when you call to clear up a debt, you are the one doing most of the talking. Good luck on that next call. The force is strong with this one.

[bignick]

LTS,

Come on, update please on your agency phone call.

Nick

[LovinTheSurf]

i rang them.... the guy wasnt there he's off on annual leave. have to ring them back tomorow - arghh!!!!!!!!

[bignick]

Oh shit, after all that build up and then deflated that he is on annual leave.
Good luck for tomorrow.

[LovinTheSurf]

i really dont understand wht the phone is such a problem for me! I'm fine in nearly any other sitution dammit! :lol:

[Standingtall]

I use to have the same problem. The funny thing is, people can't see you, so I make all the funny faces and if I have to pace the room as far as the cord can reach. Now, I can pick up the phone without thinking and just talk. Good Luck, and thanks for keeping us upto date. Really appreciate it. Remember, use the force, use the force.

[Standingtall]

Just imagine the person on the other end of the phone is . . . Hey, wait a moment . . . The person on the other end of the phone is if you are talking with Eugene!!!

(Standingtallwhiletalkingonthephonewearingnothingb utcowboyboots)
Don't forget the cowboy hat. I will feel without it.

I have not heard that in a long while, so next time when I answer the phone and if someone is giggling, then I know it is Elliott.

[bignick]

Come on LTS, update please on your phone call to the agency.

We are waiting.

[Standingtall]

Come on LTS, update please on your phone call to the agency.

We are waiting.
Yeah, we want to hear another success story.

[bignick]

Come on Lovingthesurf,

We are waiting to know.

Nick

[cherokeeprinces]

[coreyg]

[cherokeeprinces]

You are doing it right just explain who you are and what you want people to know so they can get to know you and help you get started on here

[LovinTheSurf]

holaaaa all

Didnt ring the agency, went for a surf instead. Decided theres better things to do in life than worry about work and money :cool: .

Another bonus of being employed by your parents in holidays is that you dont have to work elsewhere if you dont want to :D :D :p

[coreyg]

my name is corey and i have a sister who stutters and i would like to get some info on how i can help her shes trying her best but it doesnt seem to help if anyone can help i would truly be grateful thank you

You live an very interesting life. If you don't mind me asking, where do you surf? where do you call home? I heard that Jolene Blalock is a surfer too. I got this picture in my head what a surfer looks like and does. I got to stop watching Charlie Angels, Full Throttle.

Hi CoreyG, welcome aboard. It doesn't matter, but you could have introduce yourself at the introduction forum. Enjoy your stay, look around, don't be afraid to ask questions, you can print stuff and I'm sure you will recieve lots of good advice. There are a few olders guys who have a wicked sense of humor, Great guys.

[LovinTheSurf]

Interesting life?? :eek: you really think so???

Ummm I'm at Uni in Aberystwyth, but when I'm home (living with parents) I live in Abergavenny, South Wales.

I surf several spots in Aberystwyth, Ive surfed down in Cornwall this summer and also in Devon.. In fact, Im hoping to go down there next weekend as theres a nice bit of swell rolling in from Thursday onwards :cool: . i was hoping to head down to the Gower/Porthcawl today but had to load a lorry in work this morning so didnt get time after...

When im at home I work for my parents tyre disposal company, which i also hepled to set up (shameless plug coming on.. go to www.southwalesrubber.com for more details), but am registered with the agency for the occasional extra day shift/temp work here and there.

What does a surfer look like? depends whether theyre a bonafide hardcore surfer (like moi :D ) or a summertime kook. Spend any day at a beach break and you can tell the difference ;)

Ummm what else can I say.. ah yeah - i also show jump; and have done since I was about 9. am now nearing 22 so thats how many years??? far too long i think.

anyway, thats officially my longest post on any forum??

Wow, thanks for sharing. you do have a very interesting life. I have a family friend that lives in Devon, and she didn't say anything about live near the sea.

I see the movies of California US, so I have this picture in my head. I almost have a natural tan. hehehehe but it does fade somewhat during the winter months, but as soon as I get some sun.

Show jumping, you must be a very good rider. We have a stable just down from where I work and do a lot of shows there. I got an brother who has many horses and a few ponies. My girls love riding and I will have to get them horses later.

Many thanks for sharing. I will look up your home town on Google earth. Peace.

[Standingtall]

LTS, I didn't know you were a female. Wow, you have my upmost respect and now, "i'm not worthy, I'm not worthy". I use to be able to chug a pitcher of beer, but not today. Your awesome!!!!!!

Okay, so I need to get an online source, nothing straight from the computer.

[Standingtall]

I use http://www.villagephotos.com/ (www.villagephotos.com). I've been with their service for over two years now. There is a free service and a "for-charge" service . . . I, of course, do the free one.

Check it out.

Peace,

Elliott
Thanks, I will check it out. I guess I know why I can't post pics. I have been trying straight from the computer.

It is a cool you. You could be one of the guys, no silly little drink, when you could chug a whole pitcher of ale.

[Standingtall]

Awesome pics LTS.

Now I have to try.

Let's see if it works for me . . .

This was a few of years ago when I was still a captain and before I gained all the weight that I just recently shedded.
And the look, 'go ahead make fun of my stutter'.

[cherokeeprinces]

[cherokeeprinces]

lets put it this way elliott remind me not to be in range when you get really pissed lol

[Standingtall]

I do look mean don't I . . . And I'm an expert shooter as well . . ."Go ahead, make my day!!!" :cool:
Yeah, me too, I don't want to be in range for any reason. I'm an excellent shot too, hunting use to be my passion. Your the serious, no nonsense type, Mr. Clint Eastwood, "go ahead PUNK, Make my day". look.

[LovinTheSurf]

[Standingtall]

Elliott, someone else is impressed. Women just love that uniform. Cool!

[cherokeeprinces]

[Standingtall]

OMG, I'm going to have nightmares for sure. Bad case of camel toe too.

[LovinTheSurf]

So, once you leave the army, and become a civvy again, what job are you gonna do where you wear a uniform?

Any ideas out there? I bet there are a few :D

He's gonna come and be my own personal slave :p and he can wear that uniform alllllll day.

He also probably thinks Im joking ;)

[cherokeeprinces]

I bet you will be lol

[Standingtall]

I'm on the next plane out!!!! :D
aaaawwwwwwwwww, I want an uniform too, but not the elvis one. When you get to the UK, look up Nick.

[bignick]

aaaawwwwwwwwww, I want an uniform too, but not the elvis one. When you get to the UK, look up Nick.

Why is my name being mentioned. Just because I dressed as a pimp at a christmas party doesnt mean anything....

[bignick]

LTS,

I havent heard from Elliott today, just think he might be flying into Cardiff airport and knocking on your door like the scene in an officer and a gentleman, he is the real Richard gere and you are the attractive bit of totty at work where he walks in, sweeps you off your feet and takes you away to paradise.
