IT'S FRIIIDDAAAYYYY!!!! This doens't actually mean much for me as I'll just be revising over most of the weekend but still, I'll give myself a little time off. It also means that the fresher mongs will finish their lectures and most of them will bugger off home to revise leaving the building nice and peaceful to revise in.

Other than revision not really sure what I'll be doing, I doubt it'll be exciting though.

What are you mongs up to today?

    Bonjour Maggots,

    Watched Promethiius last night in 3D.. Can't say too much about the plot as it's not overly clever and this would reveal too much. It's more of a visual spectacle than a thought provoker with an ending that reeks of a sequel..

    Up and about early today as we dropped the other half's daughter off at the station to take a train to her holiday destination
    Stopped at the bakery @ 07h00 and picked up some freshly baked croissants for breakfast which I am devouring with a cup of Tetley's tea.
    It's 07h30 now and noisy as f**k as the dustbin trucks collect the garbage from the restaurants behind the apartment, the street sweeper trucks clean the street in front of the apartment and the couriers deliver items to the shops all around the apartment.
    It quietens off at about 8, when I will crawl back into bed and have a fight with the alarm's snooze button...

    Not much on the cards today I am pleased to say.

    Enjoy your day

    Very tired this morning as No2 was being sick again last night, although wifey was dealing with it, she does make sure no one in our road can sleep either :roll:
    Network problems this morning so cant check emails but can get on the internet :)

    A day of sorting issues await, then onwards to the weekend!

    Coffeeeeeeeee awaits!

    Morning Losers!
    Yesterday was quite a good day at work, I was quite busy, but not crazy busy, so the day flew by. Today could be the same, but I'm hoping to get out early if possible, depends if someone coming in to see me is on time :roll:

    Anywho, back to drinking some proper, Yorkshire, tea ;)

    Laters!

    where by you moving to then (said in my thickest welsh accent :lol: )

    morning all,

    got the bike built last night and took it for a spin, feels good but i think i need some wider bars and the headset has a bit of play in it, so back to the shop it goes for them to sort out (cos they fitted it)

    nothing much on today, an early finish and then take my son to cwmcarn to watch the downhillers 8)

    i may have a cooked breakfast as it's fry-day after all

    Bits inbetween will be full of no fun

    Morning all.

    Quiet day in work and lots on my mind. My girlfriend is training to be a teacher and got a job yesterday. WooHoo :D
    Only trouble is is that it's in Minehead and there are no job options there for me and I don't want to spend most of my day commuting. Coupled with the fact i have a secure and well paid job in Cardiff.
    So my head is well and truely in the shed today as i have a lot to think about and really don't know what to do. :cry:

    Morning Wuckfits.

    Last day before the commencement of an eight day weekend. Three days of pushing pedals already scheduled including a patriotic Jubliee 60m, a day at Swinley, and a blast down to Brighton to admire the views of big breasted bikini clad belles eating bacon.

    No amount of wank will spoil today. :)

    Morning Dangleberries,

    I spent the day at the Bath and West show yesterday on a trade stand. I must have caught the sun though because my face is red as a baboons arse today. :oops:

    Between Harassing Joe public I did get to try on this beaut though.

    Bring it on, you are dealing with the king, you didn't know I'd been touching your hair the last half hour did you........I'm like the wind. This is why I'm always at the back of a pack of mountain bikers, i'm a follower.

    Morning Scuttlers

    EBay seller has got back to me, the reason my frame has a british traking number is that its been shipped to their warehouse in the uk, so I dont have to pay customs, sounds dodgy, but the tracking number is working in royal mail parcels so you know what, it could be plausible.

    Today is the first of ten off, off for drinks, karaoke and a drag act tonight for Mrs G's Sisters birthday which should be fun, then follow that up with the jubilee weekend and a few days camping somewhere, this will result in a very chilled Gazlar.

    After that the real miles for the kaiser challenge begin, a week of earlies gives me chance to spin the legs and a long weekend up at the Lawmans means some trail riding can be munched.

    Anyway, back off to lurk in undergrowth

    She's secondary teaching History. I'm really happy for her as she's worked her ass off just feeling a bit headshot as I don't want to leave a good job and not have anything to go to
