    Afternoon ditch dwellers,
    Not a bad day down here, shame I had to spoil it by coming to work. Dead pig was eaten for lunch and I'll soon be going to meet the Mrs in the pub, just need to stay awake a little bit longer.
    Roll on the weekend.

    Evening tw@s,

    Got some bottles readied for some wine, did some other minor stuff and saw the Cobblers got humped 6-0. Time for another new manager.

    Off out for foods and boozes now but would rather an early night!

    One night off the booze was enough, the 8.2% ABV cider was just too tempting :) Staying in after having done far too many jobs today. Could do with a bit more sleep though, despite not doing the exercise I was planning.

    Only 8.2%? Here in deepest Somerset we'd call that a standing up cider. You should try one of our falling down ciders.

    Morning ditch dwellers,
    Lazy morning after knackering my glass back yesterday fitting lights at an awkward angle. The lights aren't an awkward angle, the fitting was. Couple of minor jobs to be done then out later.
    Had a call from the lad. He's having a great time has been island hopping in Fiji and is going swimming with sharks tomorrow. I may be just a bit jealous. He's sharing with some ex RAF type that's more than a little partial to rum so has been helping him get through plenty of that.

    Tell him to be careful, those ex RAF types drink a lot, not as much as Tlw but a lot!

    Afternoon lords of the ghey,

    Cleaned out the chickens coop this morning and warned them that they better start laying eggs as free loaders will not be tolerated.
    Visit to the shops this afternoon, cannot wait!

    Morning young poetic types and old gits,

    Young mtb chap, couple of things, you gotta start the thread with what day it is as us old gits have no clue and any pictures of your mum?

    Building staircase type structures today................for the chickens.............fml!

    In other news party planning for November took a twist yesterday when an old chum and his mrs responded to their invite that was sent in Feb, now saying they can come. This means that there aren't enough beds to go round! I may end up sharing with the pigs! But what about the smell? They won't mind! I'm here all week!

    Now, I'm pretty sure today is Chewsday but I may be more confused tomorrow as I'm out for beer and curry tonight so tomorrow my head will fell like Thursday. But the curry will make it Windsday. Where the bloody hell is that wannabe office Dibble to keep us on the straight and narrow. Has he got a life or is he in a ditch? I suspect the latter, I reckon he knew too much and Gazlar got to him.
    Far too busy a start to the day for my liking. Had someone waiting for me when I arrived which was a shock to the system. Lots of people bothering me since then.
    I've been looking through your old posts BG and I can't see any invites from February, did you forget to post ours? What's the occasion?
    Welcome poetic youngling.

    Wedding anniversary?

    On the way home to dog sit while Stropteen goes to some evening event about A level choices with Stressbag hovering close by and stressing :roll:

    That said, got a 2 day tax conference tomorrow and Thursday with a dinner at the Natural History Museum tomorrow evening. Its free food for 2 days if nothing else...

    How inconvenient. Can't they have these things a bit earlier?

    Good day tw@s,

    Finally built the chicken staircase and now the baskets don't want to use it, think I'll be booting em up it.

    Fish n chips for tea but don't have any brown sauce, not good.

    Toodles.

    They must sell brown sauce in France, surely? If mot, go on strike.

    Day at a tax conference today. Beats working but I'm so knackered for some reason that I against their fancy evening out and am headed home for cider and snoozing. But not before grabbing some wine on the way out :)

    Evening bumders,

    Apparently something happened in the kick ball the other night and people round here have been a bit grumpy about it, I'm pretending that's what I'm grumpy about too, rather than the weather, which is abysmal. I don't think the Welsh have a word for sunshine. I also have a cold which isn't helping on the grumpy side of things.

    Afternoon tarts,
    Was far busier than I had any right to be yesterday which is not at all good. Survived the 6th form choices evening at least and my arrival at the pub was only slightly delayed. This does mean I have the traditional Thursday mild hangover for the second day running which has confused my body clock no end. Quite looking forward to a quiet night in after 3 nights in the pub. I'm nearly as old as bg and can't stand the pace any more.

    Evening young pups,

    Woodworking shizzle, helping put a cover on a pool and cleaning out the pigs have featured in my day.

    Now sausage, mash and a bucket of vin rouge!

    You need to smuggle loads from England.

    Evening Mongs,

    Not bad today as it was day 2 of the tax conference so I pedalled in and treated myself to a full english at the hotel brekkie. Checked in on the minions on the way back to make sure the minions were behaving. Now at home and a bit knackered, getting ready for Friday.
