Moaning all,
Also tired from not getting enough kip, was battling Apple software until late trying to get my new (to me) phone set up. Having failed I also left my old phone at home so at least I won't get any calls on the mobile. Being Fryday I will be off to the cafe to eat my weight in dead pig before clearing off at 4.30 to meet the EPO in a pub. Up early tomorrow to go and have a gander at Southampton Uni with the lad. Then up to Brackley on Sunday so he can start his work experience at for a certain F1 team, unfortunately won't get into Silverstone. But still, he's a jammy git.

Bg, have you ever considered some carefully placed advertising aimed at a soon to be unemployed man with a penchant for pig fuckin'? You could charge him a fortune if you gave him free access to real live pork.

Morning,

Big order of pulled pig has been made hopefully being delivered later to enjoy. Being Friday even less work then normal is planned. Cold I had last weeks just lingering and isn't pleasant meant to be riding to St Albans tomorrow but not sure I'll be up for that . May instead start pulling the car apart ready for the new stereo.

An can someone sort these stupid adverts out, bottom three are all Chris Evans related it hurts my calm.

Morning buttnuggets,

Today I am being dragged shopping. Unfortunately I'm all out of excuses as to why I can't go.

She's working this evening and going out with the work lot afterwards so at least I can do some bike fettling in peace and quiet.

I've been ordered to make American style pancakes for breakfast so must be off to blag my way through that.

Ciao for now

I don't know if he'll be out of a job by then. How quick is the handover from one PM to the next? You'd think it should take some time. Well, as far as we know he only has experience of porking dead porkers so you may still be able to sell it to him. Less chance of being bitten could be considered an advantage.

Evening pond life. Just finished of my cider stash so I shall have to amuse myself somehow. Unfortanately I've been told we are going to Bluewater tomorrow. Joy.

Far too early for a Saturday'. What's that all about?

Rain forecast all day. That's it. I'm doing nothing.

lincolndave

Does anyone know when British summertime starts?, I am fed up with all of this rain

Besides that hope you all have a good weekend

tlw1

feeling below par after too much ale last night, it turns out that a very early lunch and not having dinner till gone eleven may have an impact - still had a giggle with some local pals and managed to get some plans for the house drawn up.

Today is the electrician sorting the old school room which will be expensive, once he is settled then off visiting my grandparents in Manchester, which means I will miss the kids singing in a local fate

Later is out for a belated anniversary night out with the wife - so drinks, meal, drinks, seeing Mark Watson, drinks

bg13

Foods had, pigs fed, holes to dig, boozes to drink!

Busy day

Morning plebs,

Sorting the girlfriend's bike last night but something just isn't right. Start googling part codes (mostly my dirty old bits,) trying to figure out what's going wrong. 3x10 chairing, brand new 3x10 shifters, 3x10 front mech, 10sp long cage rear mech, all looking fine.

Count the cogs on the cassette. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,shit.

Brilliant.

Morning Losers!

Stayed up late last night playing Settlers of Catan. If you've not played it, do so. It's great, especially asking everyone around them if they have wood, or offering them your wood in exchange for something. Sadly it meant getting home at 1:30am and then being woken by the rents at 7:30. Nice.

Today, I'm off for a walk this afternoon with my dog walking friend, though the dog is off to the kennels for a fortnight whilst my friend flies off to America. It's going to rain. I'm going to get wet. Maybe a slight change of plans is in order.

Laters!

I read that as goat and wondered why you'd want an anchor for a goat.

Anyway, afternoon lickers of windows,
Today I will be mostly driving.
That is all.

sunday

Don't feel too bad considering the ale that was enjoyed last night, mark Watson was really good and then went to see a band play - all in all a good night

Today is a decent run to collect the car then loads of house jobs as I tidy up from the electrician yesterday and prepare for the plumbers next week

I'm sure we will visit the pub at some point

Morning ladies,

Yesterday i had to stop digging holes as it was too hot and had to cool off in the swimming pool, today looks similar though i have a bbq and the football to look forward to.

Is this the French type of hole where you fill them in again afterwards?

Got the joys of a trip to Bluewater to get Stropteen kitted up for her trip to Slovakia on Tuesday. Me and the hound will have to wander round outside as neither of us is that keen on shopping. Well have to get them to bring us out some bacon sarnies.

Morning losers,

Got woken up at 4am by a very drunk woman. She woke me up to ask my advice as to whether she should check to see if she'd locked the front door as she couldn't remember. I was as helpful as you would expect.

She's still suffering, too many sambucas it seems. I'm driving up to see my dad for lunch so at least I don't have to deal with her moaning for long! By the time I get back to watch the football she'll be at work.

I know, I'm a catch!

M9DBO

Fixed the sealant around bathroom window. Washed the dog. 10 mile ride up around ringstone reservoir, 886 ft of accent. Not happy with my route back as I didn't pick the right route to pay me back enough.

Beer in hand.

Mrs Dbo has almost finished the beef.

...and relax.

Monday

Mehning Losers!

It's been a nice weekend, just not long enough (the usual). My dog-walking friend has gone to America for 2 weeks, so I now have time to do other stuff. As it turns out, my retard minion is also away for just shy of 2 weeks (he's coming back on a Friday, even though he has holiday left.... he's such a retard!) so it should be a nice time!

After work, I'll be doing my exercises, going for a big shop then chillin the fark out.

Laters!

tlw1

Starting the day working from home to get through the usual conference calls, then set the plumbers off on where to put radiators etc, then down to sunny Birmingham for a meeting

Later is unknown as we don't know what state the house will be!

oodboo

Morning,
Got home late last night and only got about four hours kip last night. Undecided as to my transport for the commute, the bike would help wake me up but it's damp out there.

Morning,

Interesting weekend doing some alleged "singletrack", by that I think he meant just diving through brambles and nettles. Thankfully I went long sleeves unlike my mate whos puffed up a treat.

Anywho, Monday 4 day week for me so by my give 100% each week working I can easily run at 20% all week as the weeks now 1/5 shorter.
Waiting for some cabinet with a KVM to trundle down from Leicester on the back of a wagon drawn by a three legged Donkey no doubt so people no longer need to walk 200M to see an IT bod.
Later will be helmet inspection as I did nut a beefy branch yesterday, knocked me off so never know.

Morning all,
Bit tired after the weekend. Delivered the boy for his work experience last night. He rang to say he'd had a look around the works, to say he was excited would be an understatement. I'm more than a bit jealous to be honest. Not much going on around here I hope, I could do with a rest to be honest.
