    Morning, frottagers and cottagers.

    Still heroically battling the lurgy. I tried to drown it with a couple of bottles of vino collapso last night but that just seems to have been converted to snot and is now rapidly exiting my body.

    I don't know what that 'International' Womens Day malarkey was all about. There were 3 women in my house last night but none of them were foreign. Just my wife, daughter and MiL. I was hoping for a couple of Scandinavians and a Spaniard. Bah!

    Good day bums of the der,

    Digger blokey got shot of a reyt pile of rubble which got dumped around the perimeter of our grounds, it looks like a decent sized barrier so I'm thinking i can get the mexicans to pay for it right?

    In other news it's a weekend of rugby and beer which is a bg win.

    We're being right on at work with this. I'm doing my part by volunteering to be a mentor for a young up and coming professional girl , which apparently involves having breakfast with her and giving her advice. Cant really see a downside :)

    Apart from that, mentally busy day and off out for a curry tonight.

    Evening twunts,
    Quite a busy day in work but as it’s POETS day I slipped off at 2:30 to go to a pub. Bit of a strange one as we were taking a mate out for a drink that’s pretty comprehensively cattled. The oncologists wrote him off so he’s just on happy pills now. Well, happy pills and beer today. Now sat at home waiting for the EPO to get back with pizza.

    We all know what that means.

    Afternoon wood walkers,
    Monday rolls around again, always comes to soon. Not much going on, beer and curry with branch managers tomorrow. Might slope off early if they try to talk shop.

    Depends if it's his own wood or somebody else's.

    Evening gimps,

    Had to cancel my Wednesday night out so managed to sneak a couple of drinks tonight :) Now planning to be back on the bike last week of March or first week of April latest - something to look forward to apart from booze and socialising.

    Evening spunk bubbles,
    Who knows what works of genius may have been lost whilst the forum keeled over?
    Very glad I don’t have a 260 mole drive, especially not to the frozen wastelands of the north when there’s a cold snap inbound. Quiet night in for me after a couple of nights out and a couple of heavy nights coming up. Roll on Fryday.

    260 miles driven - in record time. Now drinking and relaxing. The joys of a well stocked booze cabinet and no trouble n strife to frown at me :)

    Morning ditch diggers,
    Thank fook it's Fryday. Usual trip to the cafe has been put in doubt, but we might be going to a pub instead so it's not all bad. The other option is getting pizza in which is not as good. Later is pub with the Mrs, that is good.
    Good luck with the house hunting and shizzle Bird.

    Made it back from the frozen North before it started snowing.

    This morning I had a good lie in and made bacon sarnies for brekky using a whole pack of bacon :) Washed down with a big mug of tea. That kinda set me up for the day. Just a pity the A1 is so ferkin boring.

    Hola, wing nuts.

    I am recovering from whatever chemical agent tried to kill me and am now in that lovely 'coughing til your face turns blue' phase.

    I intended to attempt a bike ride this morning but when I peeked through the curtains it was snowing so I rolled over and went back to sleep. The extra hour in bed was very welcome.
    I have half an eye on the rugby while piggy meat is being transformed in to a sandwich filling. I shall then settle down to an afternoon of rugby and boozes.

    Afternoon scratters,

    Been chained to a cement mixer all day, on the upside, progress has occurred and i have missed the rugby the downside is that I'm battered, in dire need of foods and boozes, in fact double boozes will help!

    More graft tomorrow.

    Bit snowy here but went for a run anyway, after getting new tyres on the car to get the thing through its MOT. Dinner now on the go and considering cracking the wine open now as Ive earned it :)

    Morning fetishists,
    Cold out with white stuff so hibernation seems to be in order. But lunch at the ‘rents is calling. Get fed then come back and hide I reckon.

    Jobs and admin today, just as well is its a bit crap outside.

    Stropteen just got offered a place at a really good sixth form, so good news. The current one isn't too shabby but this one is even better (both grammars). She just need to work her ariss off now and get the grades.
