Morning Losers!

I'm knackered this morning. Could have done with an extra 3 hours sleep I recon.
Today, more of the same, planning, typing etc. The time's flying by, but at the moment, I CBA.

Tonight, probably more of the same really.

Laters!

    busy day of travel without enough work today. Currently sat in our Crewe branch waiting for a quick meeting, then hopping onto the train to London village for a 2hr meeting (not a chance it will be just 2hrs though).

    Hopefully catch up with Stevo666 for a quick beer before heading home - then some study on the train

    Ugh, still got manful but with slight hangover for added comfort. Work avoidance is the plan for today, more catalogue writing so I can hide sounds like a plan.
    How come you're in the smoke Mr H? That's way out your area. Enjoy the drink, I'm sure you will.

    Hello scuttlers

    See yesterday for today's details although without the promise of bike bling arriving as I picked all that up yesterday.

    And no promise of an episode of Hinterland when I get home either. Was interesting that the first episode of that was filmed at one of the hotels we stayed at on the c2c and there was a body buried there. If heard rumour that lawman was trying to bury a stiff in miss notaxs grassy patch but he got caught by the fuzz

    Morning felchers,

    Rather new here, so trying to pick up on all the in jokes!

    Today will involve lots of coffee, Uni lectures shortly, some transcribing of notes and then a belated birthday meal/drinks with friends!

    The in jokes are easy, it's general debauchery and darkNess with added waylander is everyone's beehatch as the weakest member of the group

    Also every new member has to pay me £341 protection money

    No joking around here, it's all true :shock:

    Today has started off on the phone with Chain Reaction Cycles trying to sort out the problem with an order I placed earlier in the month, upshot is that there is no record of our conversation last week saying they would send out the missing parts, this means they are now only about to send them so probably no bike again this weekend :evil:

    On a more positive note the sun is out and it's nearly the weekend :)

    Good bits:

    I booked my first proper bike race yesterday

    Bad bits:

    I have bronchitis, haven't been on the bike for 2 weeks, and am struggling to get more than a few hours sleep at night.

    Can bring our old (I mean classic) stock if it's of any use?

    I'm a bit slow on the uptake and it took me a while to work out what was going on. I blame the beer/manflu combination.

    Send me a list at some point. I'll pm you my work email as it's far too dull for here. Forgot to say enjoy the meeting, although I doubt that will be as good as the drink.

    In the words of GTs mum - "Yay, new meat!" Well actually just, "Yay, meat!"

    Today is meh, drawing up a repair design for a rail bridge in London that is about to fall down. Gunna check out all the new sh1t at Chicksands this weekend so just looking forward to that. Started watching arrested development last night, so funny.

    Not in a way I understand :wink:

    Posts might not have been 'removed' but they are no longer there.

    What does "just someone was owned" mean.

    Please enlighten me oh mighty one :wink:
