There are recruiters who are still receiving 100s of CVs within an hour of posting a job on jobserve.com so it's a VERY competitive market and I have very niche skills in one area. I've branched into a more generic area but that also means I'm competing with a lot more people, despite the increase in available roles, and it's difficult to demonstrate experience to recruiters who know nothing of what they speak ...

The irony is the market in Australia is strong...

That aside, we've reached a new year and I sincerely doubt anyone has performed muppetry of the order required to take the Ducati Sporting Club 2009 Muppet of the Year title off me. But I'm wondering who the current DSC Muppet is? I know for a fact that some club members have crashed on track days since my spectacular effort in June last year so don't be shy, come claim your prestigious title!

It's a bit sad to see there are more 'bots' online than DSC members...

Could be me for My crash at Mallory on Dec 3rd while testing tyre grip levels
I blame it on the pressure I was under

Oi! Bugger off! That only made my effort untouchable in 2009

Skids is the current DSC Muppet until someone with a more recent track day off claims it.

I owe you £5 for The Ashes too, goddamn it. You'll have to wait for that one til I see you!

You're as sharp as a bowling ball aren't you Yes Dec 3 was in 09. You'll note that it was after my rearrangement of your bike and therefore constitutes a mad grab of the DSC Muppet Award. It does not, however, take my DSC Muppet of 2009 award.

You with me?
