First Fryday of the Year Thread

arran77

Made it through the first week so the obligatory fried pig baguette will be consumed soon

Bit of colouring in and counting to do this morning and then I'm off after lunch to the mortgage advisor.

It is friday and Arran is once again quick off the mark. At least a new year isn't a new you.

Bet you love all the hoops of buying the new house. Sorted out the interim bit yet?

Think I will have chicken rather than pig.

Hooray, 30 minutes to dead piggy time. Not much else to report other than I'm very glad it's Friday.

I preferred the other Friday in 2015 so far.

Haven't really got into the details of what kitchen, bathrooms, flooring etc yet. I'm just glad we'll have a garage for all by bike stuff plus somewhere for a beat up old armchair for me to escape to

The interim will involve moving back to my Mum's but there is at least a Granny Annexe we could use there as the last Grandparent died almost 20 years ago!

ps - i'm new round these parts, is it ok to join in from time to time? i'm not easily offended, self deprecating and pretty sarcastic with a penchant for being slightly irritating!

Only slightly irritating? You're going to have to work on that.

I need something to aim for, don't want to get complacent

Happy birthday

The first thing to remember here is to forget all manners so no need to ask if you can join in, just do it

veronese68

Oh yeah, happy birthday Mr Bass. Forgot my manners.

Edit.

The bloomin rain :roll:

Tomorrow snow in this ere parts. As it is currently 11 deg c, that's going to be a bit if a shock.
Tried T47's anti lurgy recipe. The Turmeric made my nose yellow, the ginger gave me heartburn and the lemon is making my belly churn. It obviously works, I am in so much discomfort, I have forgotten about the cold I have.

Laters.

I'm finding that gin and bitter lemon is a good decongestant.

In related news, did anyone see that Abu Hamza has been sentenced to life in jail in the US today? I think I'll buy this natty little accessory to remember him by.

Thought this was just a free pour job?

I admire how the gentleman above introduced himself rather than just joined in. Looks like we may have someone with manners after all.

Correct.
I just wish to remain comfortable in the Chesterfield thanks.
The manners won't last.

Thank god!

I can honestly say I've never worked so hard the first week back after the Christmas break. Bloody awful week!

I'm proper depressed now ... Will it continue this way every week, all year?

Help!!!!!!!!!

You're in the wrong place - this is the venue for Britains best shirkers.

Just back from the pub, was there waiting with all your drinks and cakes but none of you were there.

Wrong pub. You owe us all one, plus another for the inconvenience.

PS:- I was quite comfortable but stupid smoking laws denied me the cuban cigar to make it perfect.Oh, and the company. I made do with a few ladies so don't worry.
