    Yoohoo, sweeties.

    Day off today. The Boy was 18 yesterday so I am taking him out for lunch and wander around some shops this afternoon. Just waiting for him to surface and see what state he is in...

    You already know the answer to that and so do we :)

    Busy day doing more sorting and turfing out at the 'rents house. Just been for a run along the beach and now relaxing with some chilled tramp fuel before sticking some junk food in the microwave and settling on the sofa to scratch my nuts and watch crap tv.

    Evening Absentees,

    Got back down South last night and it was tropical compared to up North. Just waiting for the rain and cold to come back in time for our hols in Devon next month. In the meantime, have done a few jobs today and am trying to forget about work tomorrow.

    I guess it'd be a bit like this?

    Good day

    They had one of those at the airshow Stevo though no pilot as he had run away!

    Properly hot here today, almost as hot as the front of my trousers and if you need to know how hot that is ask your WAGs!

    Some minor faffing has occurred though I've successfully avoided anything resembling graft! Will see how the afternoon work avoidance goes!

    So French air show, but Italian pilot? :)

    It was just a tad warm on the way home. I'm sitting in the man cave trying to stop sweating like one of bg's temporary pets before I have a shower. The cider is in the freezer to compensate. Tomorrow is free booze an dinner after work :)

    Would the Italian pilot have anything to do with V68?

    Evening Stevo,

    Hope you've had a good day in work.

    Bit warm here but graft has been done, shifting rubbish, fitting windows etc! Also experienced some of V68s mate FishFish epic bants! I may never get over it!

    Haven’t bothered posting as my days have been delightfully dull, I’ve been lounging, drinking, eating and lazing. But not necessarily in that order. Saw several wild boar, ate a few as well. Drive back was dull, especially the French bit, France is just big and in the way if you want to get to Italy.
    Better get stuff sorted ready for reality tomorrow.

    Pilot’s nowt to do with me, only ones I know are British.
    I really should resist feeding the fishy troll but he’s so full of it I can’t help myself at times. Imagine what he’d be like if he ever met one of his own species in real life.

    Evening inhabitants of runners up and rescuees of WW2 :)

    The auditors kept us very well lubricated so thanks to the boring squad. On the way home now where Stressbag will no doubt find a reason to moan. I may have to dig a dungeon.

    Good morning geezers.

    Been having a few too many early ones recently. This morning should be the last. The plan is to go for my first long ride of the summer and try out my newly refreshed Chucker. With any luck ill stumble across Stevo The Swines mum wondering the forest as usual :wink:

    Also, why is the forum so much less lively than it used to be?

    Hello, givers and receivers of swollen goods.

    It's been a busy couple of weeks for this cruder. My old man is in hospital 120 miles away so I have trudged up and down there a few times, The Boy had his 18th last week and a party on Saturday that resulted in some mess in the house, a lot of which was from one lad's stomach!
    In amongst that I have still had to come to work! It's a bloomin' disgrace.

    At a RAF base today where there are big planes, some of which are serviceable, some of which aren't.

    V68 - keep up the good work feeding the fishy troll. It's always entertaining.
    I would like to see Rowan404 come in here for some 'banter'. He has posted some threads that are just begging to have the p1ss ripped out of him.

    The traditional questions need to be asked:
    1. Who the fark are you?
    2. How's your Mum? (If I didn't ask somebody else would) :wink:

    Most of the weirdos left apart from a quick invasion earlier this year. It's just us boring barstewards left now, although now you're back it might liven up again :)

    Afternoon tw@s, weirdos, walkers and fishfish,

    Usual story here, it's redders, I've diyed, gite guests coming tomorrow so I have to get a panic on to match hers, pool cleaned and later the pool will be tested. This evening i shall catch up on how the lycra clad idiots have got on crashing around the French countryside and a glarse of hay clarse vino will be shoved down my fat gob!

    It's tropical here so we've gone to the pub to cool down. I even asked for ice in my cider :oops:

    Did you also order a side of bum fun?

    Evening chums of the double fish, and possibly the double fist!

    Proper hot here, not slightly warm like you lot have it!

    Up early to trim the weeds growing through the grass and to give the pool a quick hoover out of all the detritus and dead hookers that i forgot to bury!

    Now is curry and manly ice free beer!

    Morning, craphats and ghey cider drinkers.

    Fancy being called a past it alcoholic, Stevo 666! I thought you were still firmly in the game.

    I got stung on the index finger by a wasp on Wednesday evening and it is now all swollen and sore (the finger, not the wasp. The wasp is a tiny smear on the brewery patio). I keep knocking it on things and it is annoying me.

    Off to West Wales this evening to see the old man in hospital and was hoping to get a couple of hours on a beach with the family tomorrow but it is now forecast for heavy rain! The first chance we have had to get to the beach and the weather breaks. Bah!

    bg13 - I thought you had built the raised flower beds to hide the hookers under. You are getting forgetful in your old age.

    I think I'm losing the plot, actually I'm not so sure I had it. I'm sure I posted on here on Wednesday moaning about being back at work and with various other bits of vitally important information.
    Hope the old man is ok JBA, shame about the weather. It hasn't rained here yet but undoubtedly will as I took the mudguards off my communter, CX, ghey, general purpose bike. Hawaiian shirt day at work today, it shows how truly boring people around here are as hardly anyone has bothered. Maybe it's because they realise they wouldn't look as cool as me. Because a 50 year old bloke in a blue shirt with pink flamingos on it is as cool as it sounds.
    Very glad it's Fryday and POETS day, I'm bunking of early and going to meet the Mrs in the pub later. Roll on the weekend.

    I think he was referring to bg :) But if it stay this hot I'm having more 'roadie cider' this evening to rehadrate after I've pedalled home.

    I'm resurrecting my MTB habit next week for the first time since I had my arm stitched back on. Headed down to Bedgebury Forest to do the loop down there with a mate. Apparently it's more of a pink run than a red run.

    In other news i HAVE to go,and watch some Mamma Mia film thing next week, I'd rather sh1t in my hands and clap but I may go the same way as the rooster if I don't!

    Evening lucky Pierre and other degenerates,
    Had what started as a good day meeting some friends for a bite to eat and a walk on Wimbledon Common. Went to see the ‘rents and unfortunately the old man isn’t doing so well at the moment. This means the old dear is worrying and more potty than usual. Should be alright, asked my uncle to go and visit, he was a GP so knows a bit more than the rest of us. Spoke to them about alternative therapies that may alleviate the symptoms, they said they wouldn’t know where to go. Had to tell them to leave it to me. Fingers crossed all goes well.

    Evening Haddock Molesters,

    Just watching an Avengers film to pass the time after doing way too many jobs today. Bring back the Saturday night footy!

    Hope you can help your old man out V.

    Soggy day here so I've been sorting through my MTB kit ready for Wednesday which is going to be my first outing on knobbly tyres since last October. Kinda looking forward to it, though not sure that my dodgy shoulder is :)
