    Working from the kitchen table, in shorts and T-shirt and boiling thanks to the sun steaming through the windows and the Aga

    Got the sparkie coming today ready for the plasterwork on Saturday - so obviously he won't show up

    Later is a run if the legs feel better

    Hola germs,

    You use power tools to make pork based products?
    Busy day here, pesky customers keep bothering me. But tomorrow is my Fryday so it's not all bad. Tonight is beer and curry as it's Wednesday and a mate's birthday.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    Glad it all went well Stevo. Take your time getting back into normality, no point rushing it.

    Today, retard minion is back, and I get to listen to him telling me about his special day out :roll: I'm so excited.

    Roll on 4pm, where I'm escaping and going for a ride. Then after that I'm playing Doom and Fifa17

    Laters!
    I'm back down South after wrapping things up this morning. Normal will be resumed tomorrow with work again - think I'll pedal in to shed some lard. And I'll get back to being an annoying t1t on here sharpish :P

    Thursdaaaaay!

    Morning Losers!

    Work is shoot at the moment, everyone's quite stressed and finding problems, where the truth is they're not reading the criteria properly. All the answers are in front of them, they're just too blind to see it :roll:

    Some good news yesterday, I'm through to the final stage of interviews for the job I'm applying for. I booked it for my birthday, today I will see if I can get the day off, or whether this cough is going to get a little worse.

    Laters!

    It's my weekend in another 145 minutes if that helps.
    Today has been rather busy interspersed with trips to the khazi due to the curry last night. Just been for lunch with the EPO. Tomorrow is the final meeting with the psychotherapist for our daughter as she thinks she is well enough now not to need her. This is good, hopefully it stays that way. Then getting a train to Guildford with a mate and riding back along the River Wey with a few pub stops for refreshment. Should get back in time to hit the Kingston beer festival, could get messy.

    Cure them with bacon (geddit?). Or tell them f off outside and eat grass.

    Evening Gimps,

    Best of luck with the rest of this epic interview process TKM.

    First day back in the office for a wek and it was actually good to be there! Add to that a decent pedal the and back and not a bad day overall. May.support whoever is playing Man U tonight.

    It's Frydayyyyy!

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday! It's been a long week!
    I was cultured and went to the Bridgewater Hall last night, I do like a bit of Bach.

    Today I will fight through the day and try to not kill the retard minion. I feel I've finally found things he can't do and talk at the same time, so I need to find more of these things.

    This weekend I'm off to Bury and staying with my dog-walking friend. She's taking me out tomorrow night, but not telling me where. If I don't report in on Monday, know that I'm probably in a ditch somewhere. She'd make a great crudder.

    Laters!

    Evening all,
    Good day today. About 30 miles of tow path pedalling fuelled by beer. Dumped the bikes and went to the local beer festival. Might cancel tomorrow.

    First post of the day...must be a good day.

    Normality restored for now. Been for supplies, got some stuff from Argos and now waiting to play taxi service for the two serious shoppers in the family. Gives me a bit of peace in the meantime :)

    Now then absentees,

    Been a busy Bg, done touristy stuff, gardeny stuff, diy stuff and have smashed loads of foods and boozes down myself. Was in the local bar last night under the pretence of having a quiet drink and some foods, how was imto know the rugby would be on the telly box!
    Now it's time for more rugby of the northern flavour, I'll put up with it but where the flip is Eddie Waring?

    Morning Losers!

    A cracking weekend means I'm not looking forward to today at all. My dog-walking friend ended up taking me out for a curry in Manchester and then we went to the Bridgewater Hall for a concert. It was all very middle class, but I loved it.

    Today, I carry on with the joys of work. I was contemplating going for a big ride after work (preparing for the latest CrudCatcherChallenge however having seen the weather forecast, I think I'll just go shopping and then relax for the evening.

    Laters!

    Evening gimps,

    Cracking day of weather here, repaired the ride on mower, push mower, cleaned the pool and surrounds, the list goes on.

    Will be in the pool tomorrow as it's in the mid twenties again.

    Woke up and didn't even know what say it was! Oh dear. Pedalled in, did Loads of work and sorted a few things out on the parent front. Now supping wine and enjoying the latest Chelski win :)

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    Yesterday was pretty grim weather, so I got stuff done that I needed to, though not enough for me to relax completely.

    Today, my car is going in for it's service and MOT. Sadly, I have to take it to Bradford and take a hire car. They'd better not give me a mini or something like that!

    After work, I'm heading over to Bury for pizza night with my dog-walking friend.

    Laters!

    There's nothing mini about the new Minis TKM, they're huge in comparison to the little bastard I spent the weekend fixing. They are great fun, but horrible to work on. Still, front suspension now rebuilt so it's not riding on the bumpstops the whole time. Hands are covered in cuts and bruises now. Been stupidly busy at work again as two people are off, this is not supposed to happen but somehow it does. I know why and some things will never change. Problem with seasonal business I guess, too many people in winter and not enough in spring/summer.
    Haven't drunk beer for over 24 hours and I think I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. Imagine what TLW will feel like if he ever sobers up. :shock:

    Had free coffee and cheese n bacon filled croissants this morning courtesey of some recruitment consultants who want my business for another minion replacement project. Now headed out to an American 'restaurant' down in Covent Garden for more free food n drink. Not too much real work in between. Been a good day all in all :)

    I did some work- shoved my arm up a sheep, shoved my arm in cow, shot a couple of cows and rode my bike for a couple of hours today. I also did my weekly leg shave. Beat that bitches.

    I know, someone should sue them on the trade description act as they're bigger than many other cars!

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    I was given a Reno Twingo or whatever they're called. It was vile. I'll never be buying one of them! I should have just caught the train as the garage was next to the station, would have cost me about £9 return and would have been quicker. The car cost me £12.95 to insure, £6 to park and £11 in fuel! :roll:

    After this annoyance, today I'm just doing normal day stuff, and I really really need to get out on the bike this evening.

    Laters!

    Got a chicken with a poorly leg, don't suppose you want to shove an arm up that?

    With your experience in shoving body parts where they are not wanted I'd have thought you were eminently qualified.
