Morning bumders

Grand National today, that's about all I know. Considering I potentially am going to end up being a horse vet I'm very uselesss.

Anyway, lambing continues today, shouldn't be too bad, will hopefully get a couple of hours off this afternoon.

    Morning Tagnuts,

    Great day out at Cwmcarn yesterday, the downhill started to hang together a bit better and I managed to do a few of the bits I'd been cocking up before. At least the sun was out all day as when I got there on Thurs evening it was torrential rain and hailstones! Have a nice set of cuts 'n' bruises from a couple of comedy dismounts and I can't move my left thumb which could be a problem :)

    Time for Dad's taxi work soon :|

    Morning members,

    FA Cup semi final day today. Hope I can find a decent stream on the interweb to watch it on coz I ain't paying to watch it on ESPN.

    Apart from that nothing much planned.

    glad you had a good day mate, sorry we didn't get to meet up. let us know when you're up next and we'll sort something out. we might even persuade gazlar to leave cardiff and get out for a ride :lol:

    well, i've got another cold. i've been doing really well after i started taking supplements and hadn't been ill for about 4 months, now i've had 2 colds in 3 weeks, it's just going around in circles in the office. i think i'll have a few days off next week to break the cycle :D

    a day of running around doing errands today and then tomorrow if i feel up to it a ride of my new favourite route 8)

    have a good day bumders
  • Boycotting it from now on due to animal welfair issues.

    Horses are for racing, glue, hunting foxes and beastiality movies. If they're not fit to do any of the above, a bolt to the head is the only option.

    Morning homos.

    Off out with the kids in a bit I reckon. Park, beach, icecream, and if they don't behave, ditch with heads backwards.

    laters.

    morning geeks,

    got a right ropey nag in the works sweepstakes, will probably end up in a ditch with its head backwards without me doing anything!

    looks like a lovely day, so we have bacons, starbucks and stuff on the cards today, maybe a quickie if i can catch her unawares!

    Morning turdburglars!
    Beautiful day here today. I don't have my bike with me though, typical. I gave my friend a bike I bought her, she's over the moon, so I think I have the right to introducing her to rohypnol now.
    Today I have another concert, and rehearsals during the afternoon, and tomorrow, I've planned my own concert, which will be fun. Nothing like a bit of last minute preperation 8)

    No betting for me, I waste my money on enough rubbish thanks.

    Laters!

    Thanks Kev, did you really go out riding on Thurs evening? Just edited my post above about the conditions - when I arrived round your neck of the woods about 6.45 the rain was so heavy I couldn't do more than 30 on the A467 without aquaplaning and the hills had started to turn white with the hailstones. Will let you know next time I'm over and we can see if we can get Gaz out to prove that he rides a bike :D

    PS: ended up in The Otter on Thurs evening and had 2 main courses for the price of one. Good pub for greedy feckers :P

    Biggest problem is that the 5 knuckle shuffle will now be the 4 knuckle shuffle.

    Vegie bacon!? What's the point when you have real bits of pig next to it?
    I'm in Black Pudding county, Mmmm might have some later!

    yeah but you use the good hand for your obvious whilst sticking the extended thumb of your other up your necessary.

    voila, abseilling or "pokey bumwank" as it is known in some parts of the world.

    She should have been sorting breakfast.

    Current wife is veggie and a decent whipping has ensured she only serves meat based meals to me & the kids

    i do all of the cooking at home as i like my food to taste nice.

    shes actually a good cook and she will cook meat for me even though she is a hippy but i dont like her too as she is a hippy and shouldnt have to. id probably fel different about it i she refused to cook it but she doesnt, so i dont.

    yeah we went out about 5.30, we were up on top of the mountain on open moorland when the hail kicked in and there was fork lightning all around us...that was interesting :lol: but we missed the worst of the weather, it didn't rain much and the hail didn't last too long

    ive got a mate called seabass, havent seen him for a while but did happen across him by chance when i was camping in wales last year, was quite a suprise. the mrs always thinks im making up these people as we always see engineers when ever we go out and about, strange eh!!

    anyway, speaking to seabass earlier he says he's had a good breakfast and is gonna dig out blind this afternoon so i would say a couple of quid on him will be a good bet.
  • Your mate finished 3rd.

    Do me a favour and put a bolt in him next time you see him.

    and No, that's not a euphemism.

    He doesn't have a good bolt in him.
