Morning Losers!

I've got the inkling that I'm about to get a cold, which is bad news as I'm in a concert on Friday :?

Today, I actually have no plans for after work! Wooo Last night I managed to get my bike jump started, but when I turned it off, it wouldn't start again. Will probably try to get that sorted, or may just call out the breakdown service.

Laters!

    Morning Ditch Diggers,

    Man flu episode nearly over but trains are up the spout so I'm stood on a train going nowhere fast. Out for a free dinner tonight where h-like quantities of wine will be on offer so things aren't looking too bad :)

    morning all,

    interview went well yesterday. I think (hope) that I got it. a quite hefty pay rise and a crew cab van as well - I'm pushing for a t5 :wink:

    other than that, tired as well as my boy thinks it's ok not to sleep!

    I think I'm going to get some bacon

    laters :D

    that's what I was hoping would happen to me, but I may get this new job and can't afford to wait around just in case they renew the contract :lol:

    Morning all,
    Well done for yesterday Kev, hope the offer lands in your lap soon. Are we taking bets on what Mr H is going to do once he's finished his sig? I suspect having a drink may feature prominently.
    Not feeling too bad today in spite of last nights ales. Back seems to be recovering, beer definitely seems to have helped in that department. Nice wobble through the park in the sunshine this morning, if the weather holds up I'll go for lunch with the Mrs later.
    Until then tea and bourbons.

    You could take her up the Oxo Tower. Stevo and I could join you if you ask us nicely.

    That sounds like a euphemism that I'm sure Matthew H doesn't want you involved in!

    I thought it might be worth asking. After all, if you don't ask you don't get.

    True, bagsy first though.

    I haven't thought this through, Matt may want first dibs. Is there a posh restaurant called The Spit Roast?

    Like I said I clearly haven't thought this through so Stevo would have to wait, or we'd need a super-sub.
