    F**k yeah it was a good day. Might be a bit of a shock to some people that I'm actually riding a bike :P 20 deg and so sunny I had to put sun cream on :) Spent most of the day mucking around the black runs and got rid of a few gremlins on the tricky bits.

    Now in sunny Redcar with a cold cider...

    Neck area mainly. And head when waiting for the van. Doesn't take much for me to burn, I'm a bit of a sun dodger.

    Up North for one day only, offloading some furniture and sorting a few bits and pieces on the house /visiting my old dear. Then a long slog South with some of my new CDs cranked up on the stereo.

    Hola wierdos, holidaymakers, injured and plod,

    Been out for lunch, could have stayed there all day but had to come back for a beer a snooze.

    Evening dung diggers,
    Quite an energetic day today, went into town for some provisions and had a bit of a walk. Bit of a storm blew over so had some interesting sound effects but hardly any rain. Sun is shining again now and normal service has been resumed. Quite a dent has been made in what we bought, need to buy more.
    Nearly collected a wild boar driving home last night. Would have been really tasty on a barbecue.

    Wednesday

    Morning Losers!

    The internet in my house wouldn't work yesterday morning, hence no post from me. I'm back now though.

    I've now done all that is required of me at work, I even helped my boss write a job advert for me, which was weird, like writing your own epitaph! Still, this means I now have the excuse to do sod all around the place (this is different from normal, it's just allowed!)

    After work, I have to shoot off to Bury as I've stupidly organised a meeting :roll:

    Laters!

    I got a message from a recruiter the other week and realised it was a mate's job that they were trying to fill as he was just about to leave. If his pay is the same as what they're offering it's a bit crap :) There must be some p1ss take potential here I think.

    Bad day at work dealing with an idiot bank who've just cost us £200k. I think revenge will be the order of the day. In the meantime I need to bunk off and get myself a cold cider.

    Evening all,
    Glorious day here of lounging with bits of eating and drinking every now and then. Just been lounging by the pool and about to go in search of food. I could get used to this.

    Point noted V.

    I'll be sure to turn up the gloating to max when I go away next month and you're in the office with 11 months before your next holiday :wink:

    I've been there! It's twinned with Bury :)

    Thursday
    Morning Losers!

    Today is the penultimate day, though there won't be anyone in tomorrow as it's graduation day, so I have a sneaky suspicion that my leaving present and stuff will be presented today. Time will tell.

    After work I have to get home and I have about 45 minutes to get the house ready for some photos to be taken. It's not too bad, I just need to smarten a few things up.

    Laters!

    Twinned with Bury? Suppose there were some similarities, it was wet and miserable, couldn't understand anyone and was happy to get out of there safely!

    Morning trannys,

    A say of garden for this clown, weeding, pulling up some spuds and weeding. How much fun does that sound?

    Evening Gimboids,

    Been out for a swift couple so all is well with the world for now. Hopefully there's some dinner in the oven rather than in the dog when I get home. May pedal tomorrow to shift some lard!

    PS TKM did you het a pressie and a sarcy leaving card?

    LAST DAY AT THE CURRENT WORK FRIDAYYYYYYYY

    Morning Losers!

    TFI my last day at this god-forsaken place, and Friday!

    I'm catching the dreaded Public Transport into work today, as after it we're off out for a few jars. It's graduation day, so everyone will be up at the town hall, the college will be a ghost town. As a result, I'm taking my time today, and not bothered if I'm late.

    Around 4pm, we'll walk up to the Town Hall and meet everyone in the pub behind it, that's when the fun starts. I need to leave around 11pm though as my train isn't long after, and to be honest, I just want to get home and not have to visit Leeds again for as long as I can.

    Laters!

    Enjoy the beers TKM, won't be long before you're in the boozers to break up the fighting!

    Morning lovers of the d1ck,

    Looks like the rain has farked off for the forseeable future this means the veggie garden will get some attention and I'm not referring to the mrs veggie garden before you start!

    Other than that we have to totally clean the house and change all the beds in the space of a couple of hours tomorrow so it'll only be a couple of bottles of wine tonight instead of the usual couple of bottles!

    Let's hope that TKP doesn't end up in a ditch before he's even started with the filth :)

    Work hasn't been too bad but I only just realised people are disappearing the skiving gits! My legs are still aching from pedalling in and I have to set off back soon. Maybe if I focus on the cold cider in the fridge it'll help me get back quicker.

    Feeling a little worse for wear this morning, but I think I'll survive.

    I'm officially unemployed. Until Monday.

    I think I'll just bum around for the day. Awesomes.

    Good point.

    I shall miss the stories about the The Retard Minion, although given who he's working for next week there could be some other retard related honour in the pipeline :)

    Coffee at Costas for now to give me the energy to do jobs and book stuff up for the Florida leg of our US trip next month.

    And as is often the way if TKM doesn't meet any retard minions in his new job then he must be him!

    Morning turnip munchers,

    Day of loafing here with some minor gardening lobbed in for good measure.

    Plans changed, dinner out in sarlat has ended up doing the obligatory kayak down the river. The genius part is it finishes where the gite is, so...... Now enjoying the first beer of the day

    What day is it now? I turned down the gloating as I am fully relaxed and the days are kind of merging in a bit of a haze. Today as with many others consists of a combination of coffee, bar, pool, beer, restaurant, wine, lounging and generally relaxing. Any days this week I cba to post just mix up the above.
    Enjoy your last day on the right side of the law TKM, good luck for tomorrow.

    New Job Monday!

    Morning Losers!

    My weekend of relaxing (for a change ;) ) was great! I'm now ready for the new challenges. Nobody worry, I'm sure I'll meet plenty of retards. I might not be working with them (I really hope not, the application procedure should have whittled them out!) but I'll meet plenty, so I'll keep you posted.

    I'll finish my breakfast and then head out. I'm quite nervous now, but excited. I'll update you all later.

    Laters!

    You sure? :wink:

    Morning fudge nudgers,

    Call from my boss last night to tell me she's leaving in a few weeks. Her replacement is not somebody that I particularly want to work so change may be on the cards once Christmas is out of the way.

    Unless I win the lottery then I'll die from a coke/hookers/lime/string combo overdose.

    Good luck in the new job Mr Mule, just keep away from Gaz's patio. Nothing to see there.

    'Sup bitches.

    Found out over the weekend that I've accidentally got a new job in Aberystwyth once summer is over and I've left this ****hole. This pleases the GF as it was her plan A and my plan B. Unfortunately my plan A involved being a bit of a vagrant for a year, riding my bike, doing the odd bit of locum work and then racing the great divide next summer. Seem like I'll have to postpone that idea bit longer.

    Today will involve a morning of meh at work and then an afternoon of bikes, the highlight of the day will be an evening of beer.
