Where from?

Look at them dry ass beans

Isle of Man ;)

Isle of Man ;) so close...

Just the hue from the sunrise in the before shot!

I was going to include ‘largest yacht by volume’ in anticipation of this comment. So there you go...

Not sure if you’re joking but ‘MY’ stands for Motor Yacht....

It’s a Victorian lawn roller, it flattens the lawn. It came with our house when we bought it and we think it’s ace!

I was nearly on r/powerwashinggore yesterday, I can’t let anyone down

www.marinetraffic.com - take a look!

Apologies, left hand job and right hand filming.

Improvements to be made!

Continued;

It was alleged in the 80’s that a local rider was struggling with flu near the end of practice week and hadn’t yet qualified , his father a former racer himself apparently put on his sons leathers and helmet in the van and strolled out onto the grid and qualified the bike and son to start the race

Not cheating but certainly using the rule book to its nth degree the first female winner on the tt course Carolyn Sells’s bike had the airbox converted to hold additional fuel and she was able to complete full race distance without stopping for fuel – she won

There have been many cases where riders have “accidentally” gone out with a transponder not only on the bike but also an additional one in their pocket – we have an audio signal whenever a transponder goes over the finish line so when we get 2 beeps but can only see one bike we guess things aren’t as they should be. When that additional transponder is for a different rider the prospect of it being accidental reduces!

The course is maintained differently to take account of its different use.

As a racetrack. No cat's eyes or metal studs in centre of road, minimum centre lining always with high grip paint, removable traffic posts where needed, always consulted on developments and changes, and constantly inspected by race officials for maintenance issues.

The highways agency also allow us to mark bends etc with black and white kerbing and white gutter lines to emphasise bends.

Many many many ! 600 engines in 400 classes (Google Geoff McMullen- big ban)

Certain TT winners running remapped engines on a switch to indicators.

Some guys carrying 2 transponders in their leathers trying to qualify bikes they are struggling to get around.

We had two guys swap leathers and bikes in an effort to qualify. Marshals radioed in rider X crashe's at governors bridge when in fact rider X was stood in front of me. Rider Y (his mate) was on his ass down the road.

Illegal exhausts, Illegal cams, The list is long!

Really nice in real life and had a meteoric rise in not only racing but within the media and may have struggled to deal with the attention!

Each competitior must have an international road race license, they must show recent high level racing experience, all machines and clothing are examined for conformity and safety. All racers must qualify during a week of practice racing in order to take part in the actual races.

The course is continuously assessed each year for high risk areas where incidents become more likely.

There are two;

One is providing the ability for everyone who wants to come and watch the races being able to.

The second is coming to terms with and justifying that I/we organise an event that caries a huge amount of potential risk for injury and fatality.

Don’t forget to book early!! Look up home stays (locals are incredibly welcoming) or you could camp. Douglas is the best place to stay whilst you’re here it’s where the grandstand is and some of the best spots to watch the race. Hope you get over!

Hey man, what an incredibly interesting offer/opportunity!

We haven't scheduled to go to Japan on the trip we are doing but I have been saying for years I would love to travel to Japan!!

Could you outline exactly a bit more about how it would work? Feel free to message me.

Is it a company ? Will I be working only for a roof and food? What is the part of Japan called?

Please feel free to message me on here and we can email! I wouldn't want to miss this opportunity possibly in the future !

Biology

So would I urinate ?

Im very fortunate, happy and healthy so all is good!

Any advice I can give is more likely regurgitated and admittedly plagiarised from some TED talk, entrepreneur or other shit I've watched so forgive me, but a few tips;

I get what I deserve in life, good or bad. My story about teaching my director BJJ is a good one and some might say "you were lucky though" but no, I was passionate, engaging and the opportunity was there and I 'won' as such. You never know who you're stood next to in Starbucks or serving currently at your job, so be the fucking best person you can all the time, the opportunities are out there. On the other hand I may have missed an even BIGGER opportunity when I was rude to someone on the tube or wasn't in the mood to chat to that person at the airport.

Remove tacit complicity out of your life (!!!) - I started at this company when I was 21, I was basically a teenager, and one of my directors sat me down on my first day and said "I don't care how old you are, don't take shit from anyone" and I'll always remember that. Tacit complicity is hearing or seeing something you completely disagree with and you say nothing or speak up which implies that you agree with or don't disagree enough to open your fucking mouth and say something. If it's bullshit, it's bullshit and you should say something. I remain the youngest employee at my company by around 15-20 years but I have the respect of people because I speak my mind, don't take shit regardless of who you are but I also listen very well (I'm a nice guy too).

Be a good communicator - I am a person who can walk into any room and start a conversation with someone, no matter their age, job, salary or background. I know my audience and can communicate well with people. I understand this is hard for some people but it's an incredibly important skill to get anywhere in life.

Know what you want - I was offered a job at a very interesting company three hours after my interview with them and I called them and said 'no thank you' because I wanted to work where I do now. I gambled that the opportunity would pay off and it did.

Those are a couple of nuggets I really live by, hope you can have some success using them. All the best man!

I'm pretty good (tight) with my money and saved through 3 years of university but mainly saved whilst working at my current job. So I have probably have saved for the last 4 years.

I intend to travel smart and live within my means, we are traveling in South East Asia for 3 months so won't spend much in that time. So I can forecast which parts of the world I will be spending more money and where I will be living like a king. I will not be traveling in luxury, it will be hostels, couch surfing etc. Traveling that way honestly for the experience rather than saving money.

After this 'big' trip, I think my girlfriend and I will likely really like somewhere on our trip and look to go back for work. I don't imagine at 23 we are both looking to settle anytime soon but we would love to work/live in Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand. Neither of us have much commitment (debts, mortgages, careers etc) so we are still looking for adventure and cool experience whilst we're young.

I actually studied cognitive psychology at university and I quickly realised at university that my degree wasn't worth the paper it is printed on. So I graduated knowing what I wanted and what I didn't want, I knew I was an enthusiastic, passionate and hardworking 20 year old who could be successful at whatever I did. I also train BJJ and whilst teaching some new guys in the class I was inadvertently teaching techniques to the director of the company i work for. He loved my energy, ability to communicate and saw that I was an asset to a team and wanted to give me a chance. So introduced me to industry I never knew existed. Since then I seized the opportunity, was the first individual to take part in a graduate trainee position at the company, traveled with work to see clients around the world and in the last 12 months lead a project that has introduced somewhat groundbreaking tech into the superyacht industry.

Luckily, I have the best parents and they actually did some traveling when they were younger. So they encouraged me to do it and told me that a career can wait.

Terrible at baseball.

I knew it was time because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I know at 23 I have an entire lifetime ahead of me to build a career, follow a business venture and generally find what I'm passionate about BUT I am not sure when I can do this sort of trip again!

I'm looking forward to traveling the Philippines and Fiji!

I don't think it's a waste of time no
