    I dunno, some of my old girlfriends were pretty tight and that wasn't a problem.

    At least the rain has stopped here. just after I took the hound for a walk. Sleep deficit is now largely corrected and a coffee is in front of me so the revival is going well.

    Exercise may figure later.

    Mehhhhning Losers!

    I'm knackered. I'm beginning to like my early nights on a school night, it makes getting up that little bit easier. It's not helped that I decided to turn the thermostat down on Friday as I wasn't here for the weekend, and I only remembered this morning as it's just too 'warm' for the heating to kick in.

    Roll on 4pm!

    Laters!

    Did someone say gravel bikes? Mines 1x10 and faster than yours...

    Evening homos,
    Day of napping done, unfortunately I was in a primary school where they don't know me, they got a laugh out of it though.
    Same again tomorrow.

    Gravel bikes are roadie bikes in disguise - don't be fooled.

    Evening rubberneckers,

    Today we had the first day in the newly revamped office complete with smaller desks in our area and more people packed in. They kind of forgot that the rest of the office still has the larger desks so guess where quite a few of us were working. This hot desking malarky is great :P

    Apart from that I need to get back to the 'burbs and be bored watching junior pls in some crappy concert. Yawn.

    Morning Losers!

    The new minion is getting off to a good start, and isn't retarded! He'd been set a starter password of 'happiness' but it wasn't working. I asked him how he was spelling it and he responded with "Well I'm spelling it correctly, maybe they didn't" :lol: He's gone up in my estimations.

    So today I need to solder. I really need to...

    Tonight I'm off over to Bury to watch them take on Wimbledon. I imagine we'll lose.

    Laters!

    Morning tools,
    I'm sure I posted in here on Sunday, must have still been pissed. More working from home looking at huge spread sheets and adding to them or correcting bits. Very dull. Managed to ride my bike this morning to pick up a headset press. Carried on for a bit of a ride so managed a ride before work. I don't have a gravel bike, it predates the term, as Stevo says it's a roadie in disguise. At least it can stop and isn't scared of mud.
    More tea...

    Evening,
    Ruled into work after lunch. Left two hours later and now sacked it off for a couple of weeks. They're lucky to have me.

    Train in, ride back so not too bad. Work in between was tedious for a number of reasons that I wont bore people with but a cold cider is now deserved. Mind you one of the old boys in accounting is sulking over the office remix and has camped himself on his own in the far corner of the office, claiming he needed to be near a window to get his vitamin D - in October :)

    Morning Losers!

    Well Bury lost. Again. That was a great trip over the Pennines.

    Today, I need to try and figure out how I can rebuild a computer that I was meant to do yesterday, with nobody noticing I forgot.

    Wish I had some booze. The hound is playing up and being a pest so I can't settle to a decent doss. At least tomorrow is booze and grub night!

    Thursday
    Morning Losers!

    Today is the day I spend building a computer. Let's hope it goes smoothly, as I don't fancy seeing the faces of the people upstairs if I don't get this finished today.

    I need an early night tonight. I'm knackered today.

    Sh!t. That's bad news, Schmako. :(

    Where are you located? Local crudders will hopefully keep an eye and ear out for you.

    Good luck getting info or the bikes back.

    Live the outskirts of Edinburgh, Bilston, Midlothian.

    Fingers crossed they turn up, at least they didn't get the crappy hybrid which was in the kitchen!

    Tis a pretty horrible feeling though.

    That's a real bummer Schmako, hope they catch the feckers and dish out some medieval justice.

    Work was pretty boring but I'm out for a beer then some free food courtesy of a pressie I got for my last birthday. Thursday is the new Friday!
