    Very. Bit of a sleeper as well as its the wagon version.

    Afternoon peeps, another busy day on the corporate hamster wheel. Need to spend a bit of time on the phone with the car dealer later this afternoon to pin down the spec in writing and get a delivery date, but it beats working.

    Already got the price, there are a couple of non-cost options to make sure they include that you couldn't specify on 'Carwow' for some reason. And the delivery slot.

    bg's a lumberjack and he's okay...

    Less mad in the office today as the idiots have taken a breather from asking stoopid questions, but they'll be back. Car spec stuff now sorted and just waiting to hear about a build date, fingers crossed it will be a Christmas pressie to myself.

    Hey! I resemble that remark.

    I am indeed proper tired. I have woken up every morning this week between 3.00 and 4.00am and then only half-slept until the alarm goes off. This is making me irritable and I may murderise to death any twonk that asks me stupid questions today.

    Morning cheap and underpowered ones,
    Feeling a bit rough after beer and curry last night, there are ominous rumblings. Not a good day for those sharing an office with me.
    Lad is coming down for the night as he wants his bike up in Brum, sounds like he's been having a good time at any rate. Today being Wednesday I will of course have to go to the pub later. Until then I will humour myself by upsetting my colleagues in as many ways as possible.

    Bon soir peeegs,

    Helped fit a bathroom suite and the worlds heaviest shower tray today. All went well! So the renovation project just needs electricity, a septic tank and a kitchen to become habitable, this is pleasing.

    Glarse of cheap wine now.

    Bit of a **** of a day until about lunchtime - then it all calmed down a bit. Bloody car dealers have given me a delivery date of 31 December for the new mota so will miss hooning around over the Xmas hols unless they pull their finger out. Bummer.

    Shoot timing with the car Stevo

    In a hotel, so not only a shoot sleep but harder to get rid of the dead hooker

    I've asked them to try to make it a bit earlier but they can't commit to anything other than delivering by quarter end. Car business seems to be full of dodgy f*****s :)

    Morning ends of bells,
    Bit weary this morning, rode a curly barred bicycle round a field and up and down some banks last night. It was quite good fun but wider tyres and bouncy forks would have made it a lot more comfortable. I already knew entering a CX race was a stupid idea and last night confirmed it. Today will be lots of tea drinking and consumption of fried pig based products to aid recovery. Might have to go to Gloucester over the weekend, the EPO's brother is expected to shuffle off imminently which is not very good. At least I'm not expected to look after this old person and I know my suit fits.

    Morning, piggy meat scoffers.

    I was in early this morning so popped over to the work canteen for some dead pig. It's the first time I have breakfasted there for about 2 years. It's also the last time I will partake of breakfast there for another two years. It was shite.

    Just leave the body outside next door's room thereby removing all suspicion from yourself. Easy.

    Stevo - you'll just have to book a few more days off work in the New Year for some hoonigan fun.

    bg13 - did you remember to install the webcam when the bathroom suite was going in?

    Thought did occur to me JBA. I've got 3 days to carry over but the week between Xmas and New Year would have been great as I was planning to rock up to family/in-laws places for the obligatory Xmas get togethers with the exhaust set to 'anti-social' and rattle their windows out of the frames :)

    Afternoon twastards,

    Been busier than a one armed brickie in Baghdad! Made curry and bahjees for scoff tonight, got another coat of paint on the door and have filled another hole! Now watching Northampton getting a lesson in the rugby!

    Onwards to boozes and currys!

    Had a massive full English slap up brekkie in Beckenham with a couple of mates this morning so I'm only just starting to get peckish again. Luckily I've got Mrs. 666 beavering away in the kitchen to sort that one out. Wine is in the fridge awaiting consumption and I'm now enjoying listening to the Manure vs Newcastle footy match :)

    Bah!

    After a day of dad’s taxi duties in the rain I got away to watch The Dragons v Blues. Was hoping for a win but my hopes were dashed. Seriously considering demanding a refund on my season ticket. :(

    Very broken after yesterday’s ultra marathon, the cider last night numbed the pain but it’s now returned.

    We are all going to the beach today despite me never wanting to go on one again after yesterday. Hope to get in the car at a reasonable time as I want to go to the local and it’s a ferkin long drive
