saturday
Yeah, weekend
It's the eldest rugrats birthday on Tuesday, so we are having his party today
14 eleven yr olds running round in the woods, zip wire and rope swing built - so should be fun
Let's just hope the current wife's family leave when the the kids do0 -
Morning guests of the fritzl,
Had boozes and pizza down the pub last night and a decent shot of brandy when i got back so not feeling the love this a.m, but we power on, animals fed, bottom feeder being fed and a day of unknown is about to begin, might sneak a quick trip back to bed for forty winks.

Morning Losers!
Bit of a headache today, but nothing serious. Half a bottle of wine and a beer seems to have had little effect! The Vietnamese food was delicious though. I had whiskey shaking beef with noodles. Nom nom nom!
Today, I'm off to see Bury v Millwall, let's hope we can finally win a game, or at least keep all 11 players on the pitch!
After that, I'm off to a surprise 60th for someone. That'll be interesting!

Still feeling knackered despite a decent sleep. Have managed a few bits and pieces but am now hound sitting while following the footy and enjoying a bit of peace while Strifey and Stropteen are out

Today is tidy up the party mess and take the eldest rugrat shopping to spend his birthday money
Obviously watch the gp which I expect to disappoint and be a bit boring
Later is pub0 -
Morning queefers,
Up for the animals and then back for a lie in, drove last night so no booze though i did get a taste of some fizzy cognac that one of the local distilleries produce, very nice!
Off out for lunch at some chums so bottom feeder can transport me home, with that in mind and it's nearly booze o clock I'm out of here!

Back on the bike tomorrow for the first time in weeks - better not fall off! Busy week ahead, can't say I'm massively looking forward to it..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Afternoon turdburglars,
Reasonably lazy day, wasted a bit of time fixing up an old BMX for an old boy to give to his grandson. I didn't tell him it's a worthless POS made of anvils although I was tempted. I did tell him the Rust on the rims wasn't all that bad as it would give the brakes something to grip.
Another day working from home tomorrow, last week of that before returning to the office full time.0 -
Monday Morning Meh
Morning Losers!
I'm up and showered first thing rather than have my breakfast as I need to be leaving the house earlier than normal to return a load of equipment I borrowed over the weekend. Meh. Getting home at midnight was not my best move!
Today, I have to survive work. I may have to take a few people down in order to accomplish this. I hate people.
After work, shopping and then a nice quiet night in with a movie and wrapping.

Evenin Mongs,
Mixed day. Pedalled tomwork for the first time in 4 weeks and the ribs held together. Office hotties were looking hot. Work was really irritating - especially the French!

Tuesday
Morning Losers!
Another day, another dollar. I need more dollars, well, less of them and more of the pounds. I hate Christmas time, because I enjoy getting people things, however my bank manager does not appreciate my generosity.
Something has happened in my brain, as for the first time ever, I've bought a Christmas tree. Granted, it's only 2ft tall, but I don't normally have any decorations at all. I'm changing. I don't like it.

eldest rugrats actual birthday today
so we have been up for a while and listening to him play his new electronic keyboard - so lucky
Working from home so we can have breakfast together, but found out that the wife is too, so arguments on who works from either the warm part or away from the builders.
later is the local pub with my parents as that is honestly what he wanted to do for his birthday0 -
I hope he got some headphones for his birthday.TLW1 wrote:...listening to him play his new electronic keyboard - so lucky
Morning shufflers,
Another day of working from home, looks cold out there so happy to be in here for now. Have to take the girl to school soon so a bit of dicking about in traffic, other than that not a tremendous amount happening. Might have to go and slap the crazy lady next door if she keeps screaming at her kids. I won't, but it's a nice thought. I wonder if I can dig a nice ditch in Richmond Park...0 -
Morning peeeg doggs,
Standard blah here but a bit cooler, had to break the ice on the animals water!
Just got the fire going in the living room which is nic for the bottom feeder, unfortunately i will be outside moving bee hives and doing menial shizzle, this afternoon I'm out to pick up some items purchased from a sales and wants site, one item is from a lady who is also selling a vintage tractor! Wonder if she'll reduce the price for me!
Onwards to stuff

Morning Nork supports
I bought Stevo a 2ft Christmas tree. I then cut it off so that there was a 1 inch stump and then planted in some mud and embellished it with a well placed pebble so that it reminds him of bike park Wales/broken ribs. So it's a Christmas stump. It'll save him time, money and effort decorating the thing which is right up his street.
In the meantime, i'll need headphones if I can't find a solution to my mate's RST Gila Plus shocks that have locked and won't go back to spongy mode. Yes. I know they are old hat cheap sh1t but some people are even tighter than Stevo.

Glad you said 'over' rather than 'up'.
Quite aware of that. Still need a solution to the faux Rock Shox conundrum (bar binning them).seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Half-way House Wednesday
Morning Losers!
Went and visited my dog-walking friend, who is currently learning to drive. She went to have her theory test last night, only to get there and find out her instructor had given her the wrong date, and it should have been last Tuesday. There was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Today, I work, then get home and chill out. I need an early night.

Bit of a cack day made better by free food and drink. The payback was having to listen to stuff on tax and Brexit and talk to accountants They say there's no such thing as a free dinner?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

Thursday
Morning Losers!
Work feels a lot more stressful since I got my new line manager. It sucks. I'm not sure what's in store for me today, but there's definitely plenty to be getting on with! I cba to do any of it though.
After work, I need to wrap presents, as they're just sat around the place bothering me.

Ola
Just back from two weeks chasing lions and leopards* with a Pentax in Namibia and South Africa.
Fat and sluggish as a peeg from no exercise apart from eating.
Who turned out the sun and what is this icy stuff?
*not a euphemism0 -
Been working from home today after spending 90 minutes in the dentists chair this morning. Fortunately no pain or post visit dribbling involved, just cost.

F*cking fantastic. Did you go Dude surfing?
Finally Fridayyyyyy!
Morning Losers!
TFI Friday! A long, busy week comes to an end at 4pm today. Best thing is, that's when my week long holiday starts! Woooo!
Today I will basically try and sort everything so that nobody feels the need to contact me next week. Then over to Bury for the usual shenanigans.
