Today we say goodbye to our machine shop assistant Les Lord. Les (59)first worked at Instanta in the 1990's but was sadly a victim of the economic downturn and made redundant. He then went on to suffer more bad luck in contracting leukaemia from which, we are pleased to say , he made a full recovery. When things picked up we were delighted to welcome Les back and he has been with us since 1999. Keen on sports, Les is a Nottingham Forest fan and still an excellent table tennis player after being Nottinghamshire Junior Champion during his youth. Les has a son and daughter plus four grandchildren (all boys)so we are sure that he will find plenty to keep him occupied during his retirement which has unfortunately come early due to back problems. We hope to see him on our nights out to the Greyhounds (we need his tips) and welcome him to our Christmas lunch. Good luck Les.
Good luck also goes to sheet metal worker Gary Rodwell who is celebrating his engagement to girlfriend Faye tomorrow evening at Southport FC after a whirlwind romance. Plenty of Instanta people will be joining them on Saturday and we wish the happy couple all the very best.
Here's a song especially for Lauren.
No winners of yesterday's competition yet. It's still running but today you will have to order one of the correct models and quote "this is what the lads were making on Thursday" because they don't hang about and they're making something else today.
Betting on Big Brother going very well with a minimum of £315 winnings now as long as Stu is evicted tonight (and I am sure he will be). May get to £400 if I can lay a few of the others before they get evicted. Had a good start to the football season with £55 win on the Man City game last night and £28 on the Liverpool match. Tonight everything is on Bayern Munich with a view to laying off.
