The Dog. Now that this is all up and running (good work to all concerned), i will start putting the word out and see whats available out there. I have a couple of people keeping their eye open at tracks in Ireland and i will check the situation on the pups i mentioned a few weeks ago. Will...

Have had a bad month :( and it looks like i will have to wait till payday - 24th. If i can pay any sooner i certainly will.

All seems about right to me. One addition though.... i think we need to put in what happens if a member wants 'out' of the syndicate. In this case i would suggest that said member can try to sell their share for whatever they can get for it. Also there maybe provision for the syndicate to buy...

Me please :thumbsup: If im not already on the list.

Sorry but i have to disagree. Seeing your family for an hour or so after they get in from work/school before you have to leave for your (later starting) night shift would never replace getting to spend a whole evening with them. In my opinion like.

With regards to the question of 'what is a commute?' When it comes to London i have personally always considered it to be anything outside of the M25. Just a personal view.

Fair point.:thumbsup: i base it on the seventy or so London Firefighters i know, and their work colleagues. And the Union meetings i attend. I obviously dont have exact figures of how many commute but of those i know i would say around 70-80% commute in from counties like sussex. In the past...

believe me, most commute.

Nope, Crawley, Horley, Horsham, Chichester, Worthing and Bognor are Full time Shoreham, East Grinstead and Haywards Heath are day crewed.

You are absolutely right! we are not forced into it. We do go into it with our eyes wide open but this dispute is not about trying to change anything we subscribed to when we joined up. Its about opposing changes being imposed on us that will seriously affect our home lives. As i said earlier...

Do you work in central London? That is the issue here, the vast majority of London Firefighters commute from places like Sussex. They are being told to do a 12 hour day shift, on top of their commute. That is 2 days a week they dont get to see their kids etc. whereas they could before

Where did i imply they got paid? and why is that relevant? As you mention it though.... Several Lifeboat crew happen to also be firefighters.

wow! what a lot of moronic out of date views in this thread. Especially from someone who is supposedly Working Class Pride? You may think you are in the know.... Maybe you were 20 years ago but things have moved on a lot since then. For a start most firefighters work 2 days, 2nights, 4 off -...

Man on Fire - Denzel Washington well worth a watch.

Not seen this on here... sorry if it has been. West Sussex answer to the Newport Parody song? I found it amusing. give it a good minute and a half it gets better as it goes on.

I should be available for a meet pretty much whenever. Just need a week or so notice. So either 21st or 28th is good for me. If an account is set up i am ready to transfer money. Would suggest full share amount and a months bills up front.

The puppy i mentioned earlier in this thread has now had two races at harlow and has won them both! He ran wide and stayed on both times, indicating he is well suited to Hove.

Just back from the track. Prawnsarnies, J2 BHA and i had a good chat about things. Looks like we can get this up and running now. Some of the things we discussed and some suggestions - Need to appoint a leader of the syndicate - Unanimously agreed that if he is willing to do it - this should be...

How about meeting up by the main bar? I'll be wearing a Blue/Brown checked shirt. Im six two and will be with my wife who is short and has blonde hair. Have sent my number to Seagulltonian, J2BHA and prawn sarnies as they have said they will be there. Anyone else?

Genuinely sorry to hear that. Hope things work out for you :thumbsup:
