Morning bumders

Just off lambing. Fecking knackered from yesterday still. 1 more day until Friday, although I get the feeling I'll be working right through the weekend...

    Mornin' lowlifes

    Last wroking day of the week, but sadly no Bacons for Clank this morning as it looks like actually having to graft will get in the way. Never mind, there will be other Bacons oppotunities.

    Bank holiday will hopefully feature some gentle bike action some place or another, depending on the weather. As I'll SWMBO to entertain, she might not appreciate a tour of the trails of the Midlands in the p*****g rain! :lol:

    Ahh, caffiene o'clock, on the dot - one of the better times of day! Have a good day y'all.

    Owards! To coffee! Then welding. So, so much welding......

    Bit colder here at the loch, but not enough to stop the normal running/canoeing and walking.

    Did an Easter egg hunt with the kids yesterday, 3 miles and 1,000 ft of climbing - they loved it and went out like a light last night

    The community centre/bar is open tonight, so it would be rude not to support them by necking a load of ale there

    Heh. There may be no Bacons, but maybe I'll have a salad instead - Crudcatcher style salad

    Work safe. ......unless your boss is a complete jerk.

    Morning all!
    Last day finally upon us. Came to work in 'dress down' clothes, just realised got a meeting with the Dean of the school in a bit. Oops.
    Today I will be trying to find soemthing to wear tomorrow night, and probably buying oil for my chain, otherwise my bike will probably give up tomorrow in the Peaks. Will also be buying flights to Morzine for July...

    The Fit Northerner called last night to say he's coming to Morzine too....errr, scary! We've only had 1 date! :shock:

    And on that bombshell

    Morning all,

    I'm off to work in a bit, even though I'm supposed to be off for 2 weeks. What a crock!

    Once I'm back I will be cleaning the car ready to put it up for sale and then no doubt I'll be doing more jobs around the house. I swear I work harder when I'm on leave than when I'm in work.

    Morning Jizz Moppers,

    Trying to avoid jobs this morning until it's time to head out to get some supplies. Junior gets dropped off at one of her mates this afternoon so I might try to get a cheeky bike ride in later. Apart from that, sweet FA really!

    Morning ar$eburgers!

    Sang in a concert last night, ended up making £15.50 8) who said the music industry didn't make money....

    Today, not much on. Got the day off work, and I'm just planning on chillaxing really. Really nice weather though, so may change my mind in a little while. Busy weekend ahead of me, so nothing too much today.

    Laters!

    bob crow certainly is a character! but aslef have lost touch with their members over the last decade

    we have about 76 drivers, with 6 of us being in the rmt, the rest aslef and those are the ones who are most vocal about their union yet they pay double subs

    maybe, just maybe, its cool to be uncool :wink:

    not quite, just a test ride, off to bitton with a friend, no muddy trails on this occasion. think the bike's gonna need a serious service before that but not in my finance for this quarter.

    Just sorted mine, new bearings seals, tyres and so on, still need to look and the chain line. really hurting the wallet. but have to plan for the cam belt jobby on the car too OUCH.

    Otherwise looking forward to some rides this weekend even though it looks damn cold.
