  • Good luck with your new life outside this forum. It's very clearly the best thing and obviously ready to move on which has to be good. All the very best.

    Max i dont want to hijack this thread but just want to say quickly not to give up on the taxi-ing. It can take 16 weeks to get the crb back.

    Before you give up hope alltogether you can check online the progress of your CRB check (I suspect it will be stuck at the last satge as this is the one that takes ages!!!)

    If it is then give them a ring and explain your situation, they were very helpfull when I kept [STRIKE]pestering[/STRIKE] checking my status.

    Just google CRB check online, that gives you all the contact details.

  • You, you're such a big star to me
    You're everything I wanna be
    But you're stuck in a hole and I want you to get out
    I don't know what there is to see
    But I know it's time for you to leave
    We're all just pushing along
    Trying to figure it out, out, out.

    All your anticipation pulls you down
    When you can have it all, you can have it all.

    So come on, so come on, get it on
    Don't know what you're waiting for
    Your time is coming don't be late, hey hey
    So come on
    See the light on your face
    Let it shine
    Just let it shine
    Let it shine.

    Stop being so hard on yourself
    It's not good for your health
    I know that you can change
    So clear your head and come round
    You only have to open your eyes
    You might just get a big surprise
    And it may feel good and you might want to smile, smile, smile.

    Don't you let your demons pull you down
    'Cause you can have it all, you can have it all.

    Hey let me know you
    You're all that matters to me
    Hey let me show you
    You're all that matters to me.

    Hey let me love you
    You're all that matters to me
    Hey so come on yeah
    Shine all your light over me.


    Shine - Take That -

    ENOUGH SAID

    Everyone has their song - this is mine - and I share it with you.
    Take care, Phil and go shine
