Shocked:
Young GROWLER cub jnr has got an interview next week with one of the largest public transport operators in the UK...and with many thanks to a glowing reference from one of his current line managers, who I have rung and personally thanked.
He isn't automatically guaranteed a job, naturally, but he's in with a pretty damned good shout it seems.
I'm a very proud owld Bear with him, regardless of the outcome.
So nice to hear glowing testaments about your nippers ey? angel1
So good to receive good news for a change too amongst all the other current crap that's going on around here....including possibly some very serious trouble with my eldest that I've disturbingly been just made aware of. eeek: eeek: eeek:

:thumbsup: to him, and to you too

I've done nowt, and take NO credit whatsoever.
HE used his initiative and did all the ground work himself, without any help whatsoever, going into the new depot in Chester, and asking for an application form without even knowing if their were any vacancies...which there weren't at the time.
he filled it in carfefully, and hand delivered it.
They were gobsmaked apparently when he told them he'd already got his PCV and with 12 months experience under his belt.
I don't like crowing about my cubs, but he really has made me a aproud owld Bear tbqh, which is more than can be said for elder brother who is sadly going to be hitting the fan with copius amounts of deep deep shit some time very soon I fear.
Deep joy and deep despair all at the same time.
No wonder I'm a confuzzled and happy miserable knackered owld sod. confused:

Oh Growler, happy100 happy100 The joy of kids eh? You bring them up more or less the same and they turn out so differently. Some virtual strength is winging it's way to you . xx

You are one of a number that played your part in shaping him into the person he is, that's where credit is due. I was also referring to you thanking his manager, thanks go a long way with me, both receiving and giving

I am with JOM on this one. Having made a few phone calls myself and having suggested to various children that a phone call might be a good idea, or any other way of communicating long distance. The rearing of the cubs is a given IMO. :thumbsup:

Well done Cub Jnr.
Growler - do you fancy taking in a stray 16 year old vixen? She has a nasty bite and needs some house training rubschin:

Wot she said
Actually, probably 'thirded' would better instead, as if I say 'wot she said' that strictly means seconded again, which wouldn't be right.
Well done anyway my old bear rug. :thumbsup:
I think I need a nap. redface:
