    Evening mongs,
    Bg now that you’ve retired are you working harder than you ever have before?
    Bit of a weird day, not sure why. Too much going on I think. Off to the ‘rents shortly to help them with some stuff. Trying to get on top of a few bits before the old man starts chemo on Friday. Might have a beer when i get back.

    I know we insult each other but that's taking things a bit too far...which reminds me, need to check flights to the Pyrenees :) Been non stop today so it's cider o'clock while I keep man eye on the footy.

    Right, finish working from home for the day so time for a bit of a doss. Managed to fit in trip to docs, dentist and the shop in between so not bad overall.

    I fancy a cider as Thursday is the new Friday :)

    Evening lifters of the shirts,
    Quite a busy day, all went well with the old man this morning which means they will start poisoning him in the morning. Then catching up with everything at work before sloping off. Going to have a beer tonight. Looking forward to starting the beer advent calendar tomorrow.

    Evening Knuckle Shufflers,

    The sleep debt has caught up with me so I pushed off early and am now add-in to my five a day with some organic cider. Must be good for you, right? Anyhow, no Dads taxi service tomorrow morning so we're all sleeping in :)

    Is there anybody out there...?

    Quiet in here isn't it. Always lively on a Sunday evening eh, when we're all looking forward to work in the morning :) Well, apart from bg...

    No, I was hiding.

    Afternoon bush whackers,
    Monday is too much like hard work for my liking. Actually, it's not that hard I've just been sat here abusing people by phone, email or in person. I just resent having to get up early in the morning. Bg probably works far harder than I do, come to that so do most people.
    I'm guessing nobody has found the body of officer Mule yet.
    Just over half an hour to go and I can clear off home.

    Kicking Mule - last logged in 30 September. He's definitely in some sort of ditch, either real or metaphorical (I like long words :) ).

    Quite a long Monday for me as well by how knackered I feel. Still no bike action as the shoulder is a bit farked so I'm having to run instead for now :oops: May start writing a few Christmas cards the evening, although none of you lot are on my list!

    Afternoon futt buckers,
    A fairly dull day in the office with a few customers bothering me. Nothing too strenuous thankfully. Soon be time to bugger off home and have a beer.

    Thankfully I've never met bg :D

    Longish day, started well with free full English at a breakfast tax seminar, but went downhill from there, although another freebie beckons tomorrow morning :) I ran out of motivation mid afternoon and started upping my delegation, then gave up and am headed home.

    I did have to check it as it was buried too far in the back of my tiny mind, our office smartarse* uses it every now and then. Made for a nice bit of alliteration too.

    You lot wish you'd had the chance to meet me.

    Anyhoo, evening tw@s, apologies for my recent absence but I've been grafting, getting sh1tfaced and grafting in that order. And my ipad forgot my password!

    Mate I haven't seen for twenty odd years visited with his mrs last weekend, boy they can drink.

    Renovation project has taken some decent steps in the right direction, to facilitate this progress i have had my face in a cement mixer non-stop with a good amount of cement ending lodged up my pretty little button nose!

    Right I'm off.

    Excuse excuses :)

    So when do we get an invite to the bg13 'Bates' Motel?

    Long day but free brekky and lunch were included so not all bad. Unfortunately need to go running tonight to burn off this morning's full English as the knackered shoulder is still giving me jip and keeping me off the bike !

    How did UPS manage to deliver a parcel into my locked back conservatory this afternoon?
    Who is Mr/Mrs Jones is that signed for it?

    Maybe I've got invisible squatters.

    Did you get bladdered and leave it unlocked?

    Evening Mongs and motel owners,

    Been out for a week earned cider or two after work, tomorrow's poets day thankfully as I'm knackered but still have loads to do.

    Tfif twunts,

    Been busier than a very busy thing, knackered now! Foods and boozes inbound and I've just had a lovely hot shower, anyone else dry their more personal areas on their Mrs' towel? Just me?

    Looking forward to hearing about your day of drudgery!

    Much drudgery here,
    Worse than that I'm still here although I'm supposed to finish half an hour ago. The others all had feeble excuses so I'm building up my hours to slope off early next week. Now got 6 Music playing loudly which is upsetting the youngsters in retail. Just had SLF playing Suspect Device and they really didn't understand it. Going to the pub straight from here to drink beer then I'll be riding home and trying to stay in a straight line. Doing jobs tomorrow then going to a mate's 50th bash at a posh restaurant on Sunday. He's really old.

    He he, I left work before you :D

    And I was late in as the trains were fubarred this morning. Quite. Alot of dull tax stuff today but I delegated enough to the minions to escape early. Just a bit of Dads taxi, sitting though a musical 'performance' then food and cider. May have to write a few Christmas cards though, what a drag.
