On one hand its nice to know that people trust you enough to put you forward for example - the panel that represents staff interests in a restructure , but sometimes I’m simply not the appropriate person , because of my own thought and views .
I try to always look at the big picture , which sometimes is as I say - simply not appropriate in certain scenarios , this one included , and this is mainly because my own angle is from staff as a whole in our organisation , and not just my own section.
Hence my input could be counter productive so I passed on that particular honour
Advice on buying Harleys – well that’s a whole lot easier as I was requested to help The Police with their inquiries on this particular one – today :).
It can be a strange experience training in a Police facility as I do , but what you must realise is all Police officers must be careful who they associate with , and any what I will call- unfriendliness - is usually because of that , so I tend to keep myself to myself so to speak - hence when I’m approached out of the blue , it tends to take me a back :).
I don’t advertise the fact I’ve got a Harley in the real world , as I can’t be bothered with the majority of idiots who own them now a days , so I was a little surprised this officer knew I did , although with hindsight this is The Police were talking about – here :)
He almost apologetically said he had a Sportster - which is an entry level bike , and is looked on with scorn by the “johnny come lately” - Harley riders , according to my information, although it seems the majority of them have actually owned one.
Now I personally missed this stage out , and bought a big twin with a flame paint job and 18 inch ape hanger handlebars , so can - I suppose I can quiet legitimately –
“ piss on the underlings heads “ - so to speak :) , but I said “nice bike” straight away to him - instead , thus opening up the conversation , to the fact he wanted to trade up to a bigger Harley .
Errrr………. can I point out the fact that he was naked in a changing room at the time, surrounded by other guys in various states of undress - I’m at the sports centre – remember :) .
I just thought I’d pull that one out of the hat: - to make sure your all still awake :)
