    Morning bumders

    Today is involving lambing meh. Last night on call was quiet, presumably as everyone is snowed in. I tried to get the day off work too but as I live next door they weren't buying it.

    The rest of the day will involve looking at houses online as I've decided that I might buy one before I start the PhD as a mortgage will be cheaper than renting it seems and means I can do what the hell I want and have a bedroom full of bikes without worrying about pissing off a landlord.

    Is that a reference to what the attendees do or what they're like?

    It'll be mainly hunt members enjoying the fruits of their season and a few klingons like myself. All getting rather smashed.

    There'll be a few there worthy of the rhyming slang.

    It's rhyming slang for at least one of the attendees.

    Bleedin' eck! Got interrupted by a customer and by the time I finished my post bg had said the same thing.
    Hoping to get sent home soon as it's pretty quiet in here, still supposed to be going to a gig tonight but the trains out of Waterloo are stopping at 8 and the EPO is stressing. Might be easier to go for the quiet life option and live to misbehave another day.

    S'up, wanklings.

    I tried riding a bike today. It didn't go well.

    Fresh snow is surprisingly grippy but the wind has created drifts that are impossible to get through.Gave up after an hour and came home where I have since done nothing but hanging around.

    I’d have gone but there’s a lot to be said for a quiet life. Then to top it off I had my old dear stressing as my sister is coming in on the Eurostar tonight. So I’m driving to St Pancras later as I don’t want my folks stressing with everything else that’s going on.

    Bet that was a fun drive.

    At least its mostly melted here now and back to normal apart from crowds in the supermarket like it was bleedin Christmas. May do some exercise later :shock:

    Got off lightly last night, sister checked tfl and realised Northern line was fine so only had to go to South Wimbledon.
    Fairly lazy day today, just had my ears lowered as it’s a bit warmer out. Dinner for a frind’s 50th tonight, could get messy.

    Alright bumders.

    Today involved riding into Snowdonia and hunting for the biggest icicle I could find. Winner was about 12ft, which is slightly shorter than my knob.

    Is that all you got?

    Morning bukakists,

    Had the hunt banquet yesterday which involved lots of boozes, was in bed for seven and not feeling too grim this AM. Not much planned today other than keeping an eye on the telly box.

    Ive been a busy boy. Been clearing out the kitchen and taking stuff to the dump ready for the new kitchen going in starting Tuesday. Looks like we might have to have a few take aways this week :)

    Find any bodies under there?

    We get our skip tomorrow for the old kitchen to go into. May lob a couple of dead hookers in the bottom and they'll get recycled. Apart from that busy day, only just escaped from meetings. I think I'll have a drink when I get home :)

    Evening aris bandits,
    Fairly busy but dull day has been had, still finding screw ups from when I was off week before last, which is irritating to say the least. Quiet night tonight as I’m out the rest of the week.
    Glad it’s a bit warmer, we didn’t have much snow at all. Certainly not enough for proper dicking about in, just enough for fucktards to crash cars on though.

    Ditto but no Aga.

    The hound was getting a bit unsettled with all the drilling and banging while our old kitchen gets ripped out so Strifey took him out and I get some peace. Trying to do loads of work at the same time but not easy. Have been amusing myself d1cking around with car configurators but then saw the geological timescales for orders to be fulfilled on some cars - bummer.

    Morning mercedes/bmw/audi walkers,

    More rubble moving today, no dead hookers found yet but there'll be a fair old hole should anyone need to get rid of some!

    Morning shirkers from home and retiree,
    I'm in the office and trying to avoid work, unsuccessfully unfortunately. A bloke that lives down the road from me has just turned up asking for me and wanting to buy stuff, I might have to kill him to death if he makes a habit of it. No works at our place thankfully, but does mean I have nowhere to bury this bloke. Might have to go to Bromley.

    Plenty room in the skip - we got a 6 cu yard job and am now thinking of what else we can chuck in, especially now the local 'caravan club' has been round and taken the metal stuff off our hands.

    Man down!

    Evening, skip scabs.

    I have been struck down by the lurgy. Can’t be TB as I haven’t snogged a badger for yonks. Hoping it’s not Zika Virus as I have heard that can be a bit of a nuisance.
    If I don’t recover MrsJBA might be after a space in one of those skips.

    Evening the physically and quite possibly mentally sick,

    Long day here, up early to get the pigs in the trailer and down the abattoir then down the village hall for drinks and crepes with all the oldies.
    Now watching shyte while having a decent drink.

    Toodles.

    Evening Jizz Moppers,

    Long day. I survived the big board presentation unscathed but had to deal with lots of retards. New kitchen now installed at home but the oven isn't working yet so we had to get another take away tonight :)

    Drinking tea out of one side of my mouth due to going to the dentist

    Today is working from home, later might be some training as I’m racing at the weekend. Would rather go to the pub

    Morning ditch diggers,
    Quite sunny out, bit blowy though. Thankfully we don't have a new oven as I managed to fix ours when it died. At least I think this is a good thing, the EPO thinks I cheated her out of a new oven.
    I managed to ride a bicycle today, I know it's frowned upon, as per the old saying it seems you don't forget how to. Traditional Thursday mild hangover was blown away by the effort I reckon. I'm going to a pub later, pubs are good. I'm not doing any training because I'm lazy and I like beer. Until then more tea is required, then coffee.

    Evening cnuts,

    So today digger bloke dug a trench, i slapped my massive hose into it and he filled it in. Simples.
    Feeling quite battered now so a large beer and an early night is on the cards.

    Tomorrow digger bloke is clearing a huge pile of rubble, hopefully finding nothing incriminating below it.

    Mentally busy day at work although I did manage to attend an 'International Wimminz Day' event, just for research purposes obviously. Hopefully Strifey has put all the crap back in the new kitchen so we're not living in a total mess and has now figured out how to use her new oven.
