Mehning Losers!

I bled all the radiators last night, but my boiler doesn't have a tap to refill the pressure, so I figured it must do it automatically. What I now think is that it refills when it next fires up. Which was 4:18 this morning I can tell you. I thought the damn thing had fallen through the floorboards!

Today, more of moreness.

Later, maybe a film or GTA

Laters!

    TKM - what the hell is your boiler doing on at that time!

    Meh

    Late night with the football last night but great service (steak rather than prawn sandwich) and met an old Trafford star of the 70's - but as I don't support them I have no idea who it was.

    Later was meant to be cycling at Llandegla but as I've ended up at a branch that has been buggered so maybe a local smocal ride

    Right better get going

    Morning bumders

    Busy day ahead, got a morning with some actors doing difficult/retarded client scenarios and consultations, should be a laugh, I've got the super special spaz of our year in my group so she will provide plenty of entertainment. Then hockey later, studying this evening.

    Housemates are currently upset about me getting up before 6 this morning, and even more upset that I've had the audacity to turn the heating on for an hour or so as it's rather nippy, despite the fact they had the heating running all yesterday evening because they were chilly. It seems if I want to get up in the morning and I'm cold then it's my own fault and I have to accept it. I've told them where to go and what they can do when they get there, I don't think they'll bother me again.

    Anyway, onwards to tea, bacon, muffins and possibly the best morning of entertainment I've had in a while.

    That's quite a temperature change since yesterday.

    Bike failed its MOT due to worn brake pads. :cry: They still work fine as far as I'm concerned but there is not enough of them left. :roll: So bike is now in the workshop being seen to.

    Third day in charge and coping well. Got a busy day ahead and a lot of headless chickens to steer through the day.

    Later......

    Well I get up at 5:30, so I give the house an hours blast before I get up.

    It's my other bike. My big boy's toy Kawasaki 600.

    All it means is that there will have to be careful fund management if there are to be any shiny new things next month.

    Morning farkfaces,

    Day off for me. Had a lie in to prevent me nailing the £4 buffet breakfast at the carvery round the corner. I think my forks have arrived back from being fixed under warranty. Couldn't be arsed getting up to answer the door so have a package left next door.

    All I need to achieve today is a new chain, guide and cassette to start building the 456.

    We haven't switched ours on yet as we just use the log burner at night - wife hasn't worked out that it isn't much cheaper

    Boooooo....

    Forks retrieved, note from Sram saying they've replaced the air can so now working fine. I was worried they would find nothing wrong and I would have to blame my moaning on the ccc2cc on me just being a big girl. I was still reasonably fast(out of control) on the descents though, so I feel suitably manly.

    Bridezilla still hasn't repaid me the bills I covered for her for the wedding, nearly two months ago now. Starting to get a little annoyed now. Considering charging interest.

    Work is busy. Gym later for a spin class. And then home to answer questions on the housemates parents new house as they are staying with us and I gave them a load of contract papers this morning before I left. Funtimes!

    My house holds absolutely no heat, so it gets damn cold. I'm a slow mover in the mornings, so I like my tea and frosties and taking my time reading th'interwebs

    Some cockmuncher threw an egg at my windshield and I've just taken it off with kitchen towel :evil:

    Honestly, if I find the kids that did it, they'll discover what happened to Maddie!

    Evening Gimboids,

    For some bizarre reason the forum has slapped an IP ban on my work IP address so couldn't log in at work for the few days. Hopefully Mr. Louse has now fixed it - will find out tomorrow when I try to log in at work. In the meantime I survived a trip to Frogsville and far too much work. It's all fun round here...

    Evenin' window lickers

    Some scrote has just pedalled past me on my previous Anthem 29er. Moral dilemma: do I call CID before or after breaking out the d-locks and pickaxe handles?
    How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

    Restrain yourself, find out where he lives, we'll meet up for a ride somewhere convenient. Like his living room.

    Just to clarify, no internet warrior nonsense. If someone nicked my bike I'd smash their farking face in, so this is thoroughly justified.

    It's a 29'er, sounds like the scrote got what he deserved :wink:

    I'd be tempted to do a bit of 'citizens justice' but best to find out where they live, call CID and if no joy, then go back to the 'Pulp Fiction basement' option.
