    Dog tired, couldn't sleep last night, was fitful and broken, laying in bad dreading the alarm going off, could literally crawl back into bed and sleep for a day.

    That is all.

    :(
  • Worked all bank holiday so now got two days off, sun is shining birds are tweeting so setting off for Dalby forest very soon :)

    morning all

    News round up - Great week, moved house (in under 12hours incl. unpacking), back at work

    but in more important news they have stopped the great bacon swindle at work - you no longer make your own sarnie and pay seperately. This means that a standard sarnie contains 2 rashers, i managed to get 4 in there and still pay for 2, not anymore!

    this is bad news!!
  • stuck indoors again today waiting for my parts to arrive then hopefully back to France either later today or tomorrow
    I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    Mornin' ya'll.

    I've had a fantastic break off, sadly I am back in the thick of it and suffering from the cba's.

    No pig related foods have been consumed, but some tea has. I'm starving. Fecking diets :(
    It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

    Goood Morning!

    Another day off for me, but I was rudely awoken by a message from work letting me know staff training was on :(

    But for now, I shall continue chilling!

    Back at work after 11 days off :(

    Good ride in this morning though, hopefully good ride home. Gazing longingly at a Garmin Edge 705 and realising that I can't afford one.

    WOO!

    Day an a half of work left before (a very well earned) 10 days off.

    Also just ordered a new upgraded damper for the forks on the Edison. Should hopefully arrive on Thurs, ready to be tested out on Fri.

    No bacon stuffs for me either. I have a pack sitting in my refridgerator awaiting fryage and consumption, however, some sort of appetite fail has meant that I have struggled to even nom 2 slices of toast so far today?!!!

    Oh well will hopefully be well enough for bacons when I get home from my client visit this afternoon...need to eat, need my strength, man number 1 is coming over this evening!

    Good Afternoon Freaks!

    Well, getting up this morning was a shock to the system. :shock:

    I am officially sick and tired of this stupidly strong wind. Major headwind on the ride into work, average speed is well down. Granted the ride home will be easier, but I'd rather a 'gentle' breeze than gale force 10.

    No bacons either, trying to lose a few lbs.

    Work's very busy, so not much opportunity for slacking ATM.

    Laters...

    Afternoon MissBint.. :D

    Greetings maggots... :twisted:

    Today's drive into work was a nightmare, resulting in a 3 hour plus drive into the orifice..

    The highlight of the journey was a rolling roadblock and the police had a truck pulled over on the M25, when the driver opened the trailer door in the presence of the police there were dozens of (middle eastern) illegals in it. I couldn't believe my eyes and can only assume they'd pulled the truck on the motorway to prevent anyone from making a run for it.
    It was surreal, like the stuff you see on Border Patrol on the telly..

    Today is full of fail as I have a meeting in Walsall tomorrow so it's back to Stoke tonight which means I spent over 7 hours today on the road.. *note to self, check the calendar as I could have worked from home today* /fail

    Having a lovely time here on the white Isle but No1 Has caught chicken pox and it looks doubtful she'll be able to fly! So as I speak a bit of the lingo I've been nominated to stay and look after her until she is allowed to fly???

    make sure that during the group reflection time you sit with your plums out and make everyone aware that they are not going to suck them selves, everytime it is your turn to speak.

    work experiance was pretty good. did postage all day as they couldn't send anything out during the 4 day weekend so we were playing catch-up. got it all done so i'll be doing some stuff in the workshop tommorow. also the 8 mile ride there and back each day should keep me fit

    on a side note i seem to have lost £20 out of my wallet. now i can't remember when i last saw it but i defenintly had it before cannock on sunday but i haven't checked my wallet since. now either some tw@ stole it at cannock or my dad took it without notice to put in my bank or to borrow it but he usually tells me that sort of thing. i'm a bit annoyed because for me thats nearly a whole week of work for nothing :(

    Snowed under at work so it's gonna be 12-13 hour days for the rest of the week and probably no riding :(
