    Manic day in the office, tired now. Trip to Denmark this weekend looks like it's off, but not sure yet.

I'd rather not go as I suspect it will be boring as fark, flogging oil at a classic car show is not my idea of fun. Add a day of traveling and waiting around at either end and it's definitely best avoided. Danish girl's are cute though so might not be all bad.
    Apparently they get cuter as you get older :)

    Do you want me to cover for you?

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    It's snowing! WTF!? It's the middle of sodding March, and I open my curtains to see snow. F*** you Mother Nature. F*** you.

    So today, I'll hopefully meet with my boss and get a few more things added into our capital spend this year. There's a part of me that's really stopped caring, I don't like thinking of long-term goals as I really want to leave. It doesn't help that I can't get another job though!

    I'll go for a run tonight, then an early night as I'm knackered!

    Laters!

    Tired after a late night with my Aussie mate at his dad's wake after party - then a shoot sleep as I ended up in a ferkin single bed in a house with the heating set to max

    So I need today over but it isn't going that fast

    Evening terds,

    Been up to Poitiers today to visit a chum in hospital, rained all the way there and back! The rest of the day was playing with drains, one of which was blocked!

    That's all i got

    Balls to this - only just about to leave the office. Problems in far away places to deal with but kind of expected. But the good news is that there are plans afoot to merge another part of the business into ours which will mean my minion count will go up again :twisted:

    Off home shortly for a cold cider.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    My workplace was very kind and gave everyone free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud, meaning we can download it to 2 machines at home. Hello Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, Dreamweaver and other good shizzle!

    Today I have to pretend I'm busy again. Funny that I was busier when doing work for external clients than internal ones! Internal work far too slow for my liking. If you want it, I'll do it now, but if I email you the answer within the hour, at least send a courtesy "Thanks" email, not leave it 3 months and say "Could you do it this way?" :roll:

    Laters!

    Morning packers of fudge,
    Busy day in the office after being out yesterday. Good day at Brum Uni was had, it has consistently surprised us in a good way and exceeded expectations, it's now his number one choice. Bit knackered today though, good job I'm bunking off early then. Today being Wednesday I will of course be going to the pub, this is good. Denmark trip has indeed been cancelled, this is also good.

    I needed my cold cider last night as I didn't get home till gone 8.30 as the trains were Fubarred - had to try 3 stations before I got one :evil:

    Now trying to get my massive financial restructure approved so its fingers crossed time for the rest of today. I may need more cider when I get home...

    Evening gimpoids,

    Just had a wee snifter and getting into the last disc of breaking bad.

    bg13 You're in for a treat!

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    Hopefully none of you were admiring Westminster yesterday. There's definitely advantages to living in a small town, though working near a rather prominent building isn't good.

    Today, I will be busy again, but it's been quite good busy recently.

    I'm having pie for tea. All is good.

    Laters!

    I wasn't too far from where the action was yesterday but no worries, chances of getting caught by something like that are too bloody small to worry about.

    Just out getting fitted for a new suit. Hopefully I haven't turned into a fat fark since I got the last one so they can use my old measurements! And on the plus side, its a freebie 8)

    Very true. I was just asked by an Italian customer what was happening in London. I told him it was all carrying on as usual as it makes no difference in the day to day life of the city. Pointed out that a lot of Londoners had grown up with the IRA bombing so really weren't phased by that kind of thing.
    Reasonably busy day in the office for me, nothing too exciting. Usual silly questions, just had to talk someone through printing some instructions on out website. I am not IT support. Feeling so unfit from lack of riding and being unwell that I'm getting even lazier. Really should try to pedal something rather than just peddling sh!te.

    Evening butt sniffers,

    Busy Bg today, bit of shopping, bit of driving, bit of getting everything ready for the pigs return from the butchers tomorrow, will have a few days of packing and processing, going to be hard work but there'll be a lot of bacons for me.

    Take care all you targets!

    Finally Friday!!!!!!

    Morning Losers!

    I've a busy start to the morning today, and a busy end to the day too, but I'm not bothered by that. I get to go home early, and that's good.
    I'm not looking forward to this evening though. I'm off to a night at Bury FC, where some guest speakers are coming in, and there are cheap drinks and food. Not too bad, but I'm going with my Mum and my crazy Aunt :roll: My old mans being put into the care home for a week, so my Mum's letting her hair down. Why do I have to be there!?

    Laters!

    TKM - is your aunt GTs mum?

    Morning

    Working from home as I've got loads on, so I'm about to attempt my first run since Sunday and the start of man flu

    Later is the first BBQ of the year at friends and the beginning of the wife's birthday weekend - so bank balance and liver will suffer

    Well that was a bit of a cack day torturing numbers, not helped by sloppy work from the advisers. Got there in the end.

    Now playing Dad's taxi before tucking into food and cider. Tomorrow is loads of jobs and a bit of shopping for stuff I need for a change!

    Evening chumps,

    Tkm- Breaking Bad final disc was awesome.

    Got the pigs back from the butchers, 330kgs took some transporting! Been packing and freezing all day. Making sausages all day tomorrow.
    Early night now as mrs13 and I are fatigued.

    As you are at France does that not make you fatty gay if you are tired bg?
    Busy but short day in the office followed by the pub. Good way to start the weekend.

    TLW1 - Nope, no relation that I know of. I hope!

    bg13 - There's an alternate ending (made by fans) that you should look up, arguably, it's better! Also, I'm damn, DAMN jealous of you right now!

    Morning Losers!

    Well last nights do at Bury FC was pretty dull, mainly because it took me so long to get there (thanks M62) that I wasn't drinking. Ah well.

    Today is a beautiful day, so I'm going to go for a walk before going to a wedding and then the football, then Nando's and then a play.

    Laters!

    Afternoon Mongs,

    Productive day here, including procuring large amounts of booze and washing the communter which after nearly 4 months without a wash was dirtier than my old Aussie girlfriend :)

    Now resting in Costa Bromley after buying myself some clothes. Got a jacket in M&S knocked down to £35, then went and blew the savings on and pair of 501''s. Easy come, easy go. Later will be upping cider in front of the telly as Stressbag and Stropteen are both out tonight 8)

    Afternoon you lazy gimboids,

    a fair bit of coffee has been sunk to make up for losing an hour in the sack last night. Also had to fart around with the fish pond pump this morning, which had stopped due a stone stuck in the pump 'propeller' thingy. Not sure I CBA to do much else today as it Sunday so am diligently ignoring my passport application form for the time being.

    Pedalling tomorrow...

    Evening wonkers,

    Lots of jiggery porkery going on here today, got the three pork pies out of there pots and set about the sausages, seven and a half kilos of cumberland and five kilos of curry ones. Curry ones tasted good but more spices required next time! Got herb and chorizo flavoured ones to make tomorrow.

    In other news it must be beer o clock.

    Toodles.

    Better get on with it.

    Laters!

    Evening Gits,

    Good day today. Had a decent pedal in and out and with nomairbrake mudguards I was setting records :) Got my big restructure approved by the board just in time for my annual appraisal with the CFO which then went rather well 8)

    Knackered now.
