morning

Woken as 6 by son no 1 jumping on me and saying I love you. Loverly but not what i wanted after a night on the ale.

Not sure what today holds, hopefully more fun than studying, but got a feeling it won't

    Morning fucksticks.

    Today is Fathers Day, I have had my bacons in bed, opened assorted chocolate treats, a new giant (size, not bike brand) tea mug, and a cuddly minion.

    Will be off out for a ride in a bit.

    Laters.

    Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers out there.

    At least this year it doesn't consist of me making special dinners and shit because "it's Fathers Day" and No 1 daughter CBA.

    So today I will be doing homework, cooking and gardening. Yip yip...

    Love n hugs

    A decent lie in and a cup of tea in bed for Fathers Day so far. Gunning for a good pub lunch out in the country somewhere, but not before a bit of slobbing as wifey & junior have gone out to the shop this am :)

    Great day so far, walked the mutt with the kids, cooked breakfast and then opened presents. How did they know to get me a T shirt with bacon printed on the front?

    Other half's still in bed, but off out somewhere later. Maybe Clacton or Frinton but the tugs are pulling the rain in again.....
    Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

    Morning, I'm at work and having no kids I get to buy myself not fathers day gifts whenever I want. To be fair I deserve that much for doing the world a service not having an army of mini gazlars! Just consumed a lovely Starbucks and I shall return for another in circa 1 hour.

    Later today I shall take my 60 this year father his gift of drum and bass and hard house music. Oddly the man that brought me up to like Dire Straits at the age of 56 decided what he really liked musically was what his generation refer to as "bang bang" music! It's a weird situation really. He's a middle aged company manager with conservative fashion sense and a sensible rep mobile driving round with Justice and Infected Mushroom blaring out whereas I'm a 31 year old sk8er wannabe (but not as much as that tool on the thing with Dermot O'leary last night, you know the pirate freak punching well above his weight with the Katie Perry wannabe. You know the show, it hap Geri Halliwell on with her norks hanging out of a dress only designed to hold Cat Deeleys tiny nub ends, mind you you still would despite her ironing board chest and lembit face) anyway year, 31 year old dressed as early mcfly driving round in a pimpmobile listening to the Archers and the afternoon play.

    Very different indeed

    Greetings Maggots,

    The offspring called me this morning from the other side of the planet to wish me happy fathers' day. Cool..
    Today I am sorting my study out, four bikes, one desk, 6 computers, two chairs, a home gym and three toolboxes make for organised chaos.
    Something has to be done.. so today is the day..

    How do y'all!

    Today I gave the old man some Lizquorice Allsorts and a card. I'm no fan of Father's Day really. Commercialised cr@p. Hopefully one day I'll be a dad though, so I can change my opinion ;)

    No much plans for today. I asked in Leisure Lakes yesterday if they sold a headset tool, and they looked blankly at me and scratched their heads a bit, before saying "No. We can probably order you one in though" :roll:

    Pay day on Friday. I'm scarily broke at the moment :(

    'noon

    I've just got back from a 2 mile walk, first proper walk since having The Boot. Yay.

    As at least Gazlar is interested; the date went well yesterday, and he finally got the courage up to give me a kiss. Only took 3.5 dates!! :lol:

    I've just had copious quantities of scrambled egg with ham and brown sauce, and having a little sit down with a big cup o' tea before making 4 nut chocolate brownies for my friends that are out on the 58 mile Great Nottingham Bike Ride today (which I was supposed to be on :(
    Then it's off to a local drinking establishment to meet the cyclists and hand out brownies.
    Not a bad day in all really for a crip.

    Kitty I hope it went well!!

    Kisses

    Think someone broke into my house and drugged me last night as i woke up with a banging head this afternoon + an empty beer fridge :( At one time going to the pubs and ending the night in a club was the normal saturday night routien where as now it seems to be staying in watching the golf with cans FML

    Anyway gave my dad his card and told him i've got him tickets for Paul Scholes testamonial match in august then made him a bacon related breakfast so he seems happy enough, i may let him take me to the pub later for a few pints to repay me for being an awesome son. I have to go see my brother later as it's his birthday tomorrow which i feel is quite inconsiderate having a birthday when i need to order a pressure suit :evil:

    One of my friends did that today, he said it was quite fun but just a little windy. I think another is going for the 75 miler

    Afternoon cruddites, How is everyone. I've managed to get out and find some new rooty singletrack to play on whilst on my bike this morning. Nearly sent myself over the bars on one section. Saved it, just. Now to go and do a bit of food shopping (bacons and cake) then sit down to a beer and watch some BSB highlights later on.

    Today we're cooking shepherds pie (made with real shepherds), better than cottage pie. I always find the bricks a little too crunchy. We're also making the base for a spag bol, or it make become a lasagne. Yet to decide. Not arsed either. Just been right royally pissed off by a visitor.

    I am having a day of utter and complete MEH today. Can't be bothered to do anything.
    Yesterday, it seemed a good idea to ride Coedy's Red Bull trail, and the MBR in one go, today, it strikes me that is may have been rather a silly thing to do :?

    Just started downloading 127 top watch later. In the meantime, I'm off out to buy tools, maybe.

    Went for a ride, stumbled across a load of old abandoned tracks in one of the plantations so set about raking them out. Some of them are awesomes, some are not. Still got a load of work to do on some of the higher up ones so hoping to pop back later in the week with a saw.

    I have however been eaten to death by midges.
