    Aah, so TKM lives on. But is exhausted and has a sore aris'. I was right about that knocking shop. Well done, look forward to hearing more tales of woe.
    Morning 'tards,
    Bit grey round here. Off to a small classic car show locally that we sponsor in a little while. Then off to my folks to get fed like I haven't eaten for a month.

    Back to Work Monday

    Meeeeeeeehhhhhh Morning Losers!

    I feel terrible. I seem to have a knot at the top of my stomach, I think I've pulled my diaphragm or something as breathing in hurts. Today I feel a bit ill. Scotland has actually broken me!

    So today I have to go through the task of getting back into the swing of things. I'm not looking forward to it.

    Laters!

    Good to have TKM back to attend to the morning posts. The burden of responsibility was a bit much for me.
    Sounds like the knocking shop has seriously injured him and he's managed to pull something other than a sweaty skank.

    They must be broken as they've all disappeared...

    Pedalled in but in the train back as I need to get back sharpish to take the dog out before w the carpet. The girls have gone out and left him. Busy day torturing numbers and minions but a cold cider awaits when I get back :)

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    I was gutted this morning to realise it's only Tuesday! That sucks.

    Today I really need to get my ar$e in gear and start doing something. I've lost all motivation, but it will help the time pass, and that should help get me going.
    After work, my dog-walking friend is back from her weekend away so I might be off to see her, I might just end up falling asleep here. We'll see.

    Laters!

    Bonjour b1tches,

    Quick social at the local market this morning and got a new wheel for my mower so a little lighter in the wallet area but a bit more smilier in the facial area. As it's now raining (first time in a couple of months) the grass will be rising quicker than Tkm when he finally meets up with his DWF.

    Afternoon all,
    Busy day in the office and trying to sort out a defibrillator the company has bought. I really need to make time to read the instructions as it will probably be me that's tasked with electrocuting someone. Plenty of time to forget how to use it before it might be needed. Off out for beer and curry tonight with some of the management from work, hopefully we won't be talking about work too much.

    Evening Ballbags,

    Had to bail out of riding home as it was lashing down and and I only had shorts and a t shirt. So left the bike at work and lived to pedal another day. Mind you so bloody busy with random shit landing on my desk In was knackered by time I finished work.

    Now feeling quite lazy but have to go to the shop for stuff. Ho hum.

    Wednesday

    I really CBA with work. I've got lots to do, but I'm doing none of it, and instead, I just play games on the internet all day. I'll probably get caught out soon, I just don't care.
    Motorbiking in today will be fun, I can hear the rain on the window. I already know my 'waterproofs' will fail, so I'm wearing some old clothes and will get changed at work.

    Roll on 4pm!

    Laters!

    Ey up workers,

    Wet and horrible here today so the trip out to a chums barby will be interesting. Foods and boozes ahoy though! Hoping the bottom feeder will offer to drive!

    Evening Mongs,

    Had a good free lunch with some advisors washed down with some nice French plonk. That saw me through till about 3pm :) The minions did a sterling job holding the fort while I was out so am taking them on a booze cruise down the Thames in a couple of weeks.

    Thursday

    I got far too wet yesterday riding to and from work for it to be funny. Today looks a little lighter rain, but I can't say I'm looking forward to the commute.

    Work began to get a bit interesting yesterday as I started doing the things I'm meant to be doing. It was rather half-ar$ed though, so I'm not breaking any records here.

    Laters!

    Morning all,
    Manic day yesterday was finished with more beer and curry, just what I needed. Not feeling too bad this morning, probably as eating got in the way of drinking time. Hoping for a quieter day today as yesterday was manic. The boy has his last A level today, the harder of the physics papers apparently. Hopefully all will go well. Then he's out on the lash and I'm not expecting to see him until Saturday night, that's only because we have been invited to a do at his girlfriend's parents place. I'm looking forward to a quiet night in tonight, must be getting old.
    Right, now to get someone to make me a cup of tea to wash a couple of cookies down.

    It's Fridayyyy Beeaches!

    Morning Losers!

    TFI Friday! This week feels like it's gone on forever! I shouldn't complain though as my good minion is going off on holiday for a fortnight as of the end of today, and I'm left with retard minion! :|

    Today I have to write up a meeting I held yesterday, then try and finish a game I've been playing about a little square trying to find a pineapple. Yep, I've no idea either.

    Must have been a good gig last night as I forgot to post about it :)

    I'm a bit tired but no hangover and not deaf so that's a decent result. The band was good too, good call by a mate who said I would like them. Now headed home to chill. Hopefully.

    Saturday
    Morning Losers!

    Not often I have a Friday night off, but it was great, I got stuff done and relaxed.

    Today, I was planning on going for a ride, I still might if I can get going. If not, I'll give the bike a very well deserved service, as the C2C2C Challenge was probably made a little more difficult as the shock and forks didn't really do anything, and neither did the Reverb seatpost. Oops.

    Other than that, today will be a chilling day.

    Laters!

    Happy anniversary Mr. 68

    Decent day, rounded off by Thai take away and cider :) My big delivery of punk and 80s CDs arrived from Amazon as well so I have some banging sound tracks to keep me entertained on the long slog up North tomorrow evening. On the downside, I have to do jury service in Croydon soon...

    Sunday

    Morning Losers!

    Didn't get out on the bike yesterday, but did get a lot of stuff done that I've been meaning to do. Today is slightly different day for me as my usual evening plans have been changed, so I'll be back home from about 4pm. I'll not know what to do with myself!

    Happy anniversary Veronese!

    Morning gimps,

    Bon anniversaire mr 68 and the very lucky mrs 68,

    Bon voyage stevo and let us know what tunes have been making your ears bleed!

    Had a lot of stormy weather out here which means the flakey wifi keeps delivering bother, spoke to the providers who told me we should change suppliers!!

    In other news more diy and gardening until foods and boozes later.

    Setting off a bit later form a clear evening run. Just sheltering from the sun (and jobs) for now.

    I Really Hate Mondays!

    Meh Morning Losers!

    After a really nice weekend, the last thing on my mind is going back to work with just retard minion for company for the next fortnight :roll: I swear they may be a head backwards in a ditch somewhere soon.

    Hopefully my mobile number will move across to the new sim card today, meaning I don't have to go around with two phones. Playing my old games is quite good fun though.

    Laters!

    Cheers for the anniversary wishes chaps,
    Yesterday was a bit of a struggle, got in at about 3am having been drinking like a teenager. Had to pretend I wasn't dying to death with a hangover. Bought a car though so the Mrs is happy, unfortunately nothing exciting. Need to try and catch up on sleep now.

    Strong choices young un,

    Afternoon twunts,

    Been shopping at Poitiers today, went to a massive supermarket where mrs 13 informed me she was off looking for a sarong, taking her to the camping section and showing her the tents wasn't my greatest move ever!

    In other news a week of barbys, booze, diy and pool time await.

    Got through most of them CDs after 10 hours in the car in the last 24 hrs. Managed to flog some of my folks furniture, charities took some and the rest will go in a skip when I've finished with it.

    Knackered now and work tomorrow. Wonderful.

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    Well after one day with retard minion, I honestly don't know how I'm going to cope with another nine of them alone with him. I may have to rewire the soldering iron so he 'has an accident'.

    Today I really need to get my ar$e in gear and do something. I'm bored of being bored. There's loads to do, it's just if I rush it, then I'll have nothing to do in a few weeks time, except then I'll not be able to find anything, and retard minion will be the death of me.

    Ah well. Roll on 4pm!

    Laters!

    So so day at work, not helped by being knackered from yesterdays Northern project. On the way out later to drop.off some furniture I've flogged and collect Stropteen from her trip to Brum. The gratitude for Dads taxi picking her up might be too much fir me to take :roll:

    Tomorrow is a much needed pedal.

    Seriously, only Wednesday!?

    Morning Losers!

    This week is dragging! Retard minion is getting me close to the edge of quitting or murder, it's a fine line.

    After battling through today, I then need to come home, do the washing up and then head over to Bury for another meeting. I can't wait.

    Afternoon cleft cleavers,
    I thought I'd posted in here yesterday, but it would appear not. Time flies when you're having fun. Another busy day of being bothered by customers, some of them seem to think I'm nice to them because I like them. Not much going on other than that. Sorting stuff out for the new motor in between being bothered. Need to go and pick it up on Saturday, might pedal over there but it's a fair schlep on nasty roads. Today being Wednesday I will of course be heading to a pub.

    Evening Rubberneckers,

    Long-ish day with pedalling at either end means I'm a bit knackered. In between I've been telling our head office to sod off (some people call it negotiation). My in box might be quite interesting when I get up tomorrow morning :)
