    For fun on public roads you want a car that is lively at low speeds keeping your attention. i.e. rwd.

    Yep, a Porker 944. Heaps of fun. Although:

    Clean it. Wax it. Drive it. Fix it. Clean it. Wax it, drive it...

    Started on the malts to watch the Vuelta highlights.
    Forgot to stop until midnight. Not really looking forward to today's pedal. Easy cafe run I think.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Aaalreet. It's Friday, I'm square. I'm at home. I have had a steak, rare bavette, coleslaw (vinegar not mayonnaise), a couple of fried eggs. Now finishing the wine. A bourgeuil, nowt fancy. 30 mins in the fridge, very drinkable.
    In other news, offered a job to potential minion, who accepted. Marvellous. I can now shift the shittier half of my immense to-do list on to her to-do list. Super.

    Yay - sh1t trickles downwards and credit trickles upwards as they say :)

    Salmon on the go over here courtesy of Stressbag, with some plonk chilling in the fridge. Will eat out this weekend as its Stropteens' birthday on Monday.

    She seems much cleverer than me. With her brains and my gob, we could go far.

    Do you know what? I couldn't tell you, but I'm going to say not. My boss said she looked like a vegetarian, but he liked her despite that. If she gets the job done, and that means I don't have to worry about that side of my responsibilities, I don't care if she has 3 heads.

    I saw another candidate today who was a joke, despite a big 4 background. I asked a question, and she would launch into a response which only tangentially touched what I had asked, but included everything she wanted to say. I literally switched off and let her witter on. I couldn't even be bothered to ask what she was on about, or tear strips of her. I cut it short after 30 mins.

    Judging by Hoppy's magnanimity, I think he's already got feelings for she minion and may feel protective., so I guess that one will be dodged.
    Add the relief of subordinating the mundane and the excitement of his very own minion, who's also female, it's quite a cocktail.

    I had a female minion once. She was about 4 foot nothing and as fiery as the depths of hell. Never again.

    Subordinating the mundane. Marvellous. I like that. I should arrange for that to be on my tombstone.

    She's tall, blonde, skinny, and very clever, but a bit reserved, which may need some work. I had a minion or two before, both female. It's not new, but this one is proper bright. I may have dug my own grave unless I can keep up.

    Oh no, I didn't mean to sound down. If you manage to subordinate the mundane, you're doing ok!

    I'd have to come to sw Scotland, or you'd have to come to sw London. Or we could meet half way. Which is where? Tamworth? My geography is hazy.

    Actually, looking at a map, it's around Manchester.

    Surely you're going to head into Jockland at some point for a holiday. If you have never been to the highlands, then you should go.

    Manchester is sh1t.
    Durham is not that far away from the middle. That's pretty. It's the last vestige of civilisation before you get to Jockland - it's got a cricket ground.

    Oh ffs you 2, get a room at Lancaster Holiday Inn, just off J34 M6.

    I don't think he's my type but as he is our resident BB gastronome, I would be relishing a food and wine fest to end all food and wine fests (as long as I can get me toof fixed, itsh really f*ckin shore).
    What's in Lancaster?

    Anyhoo - I see that the NHS has won their case for Avastin. It's still a fookin injection though.
    How you doing with yours?

    Lunch with wine in the sun. Chill in the sun. With ice cream. :wink: Then Michelin quality dinner and large quantities of fine wine at budget cost. Why is good wine so expensive in the UK?

    watching it now and think that it proves beyond all doubt that steel drums are a much under used instrument in film soundtracks.

    Sipping on a rather cheap Champagne bought by in laws for us to celebrate moving in/finishing house some time ago.
    However, it's surprisingly good. Comte De Senneval.

    Prost !
    Now get the image of middle aged men in string vests doing selfies in front of mirrors out of your head and choke down that fizz.
