    Morning twunts,

    Good luck Tkm, remember to point the taser in the right direction!

    Another day of keeping out of our guests way, they seem happy reaxing by the pool so it's all easy.

    Once the fire breathing monster wakes it's weeding the veggies and collecting a fridge that someone is lobbing out........tough life.

    This is very true :twisted:

    Tuesday

    Morning Losers!

    First day was basic 'getting to know you' stuff and answering questions. I think this is the same for a couple of days. Got my uniform, I have to start wearing from now, though can't wear it anywhere except inside the training area, which makes life a bit awkward.

    Better get a move on!

    Laters!

    So with Tkm bringing the PC to the CC has anyone got anything they want to confess? Or is anything put on this forum inadmissible in court?

    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.

    Wednesday!

    Morning Losers!

    Yesterday I got issued with my Pocket Note Book and explained the dos and don'ts of how to use it. I'll be honest, I didn't realise it was so important! It was good though that the instructors played us a clip from Hot Fuzz as an example :lol:

    Today we have a new instructor in, I hope he's good too.

    After work, I have some people coming round to view the house, so I need to make it look presentable... oh dear.

    Laters!

    I'm just south of Derby at the moment, can't wait to get away now.

    Anyway, today will involve meh and sitting around waiting for more meh to happen, then an evening of on call which knowing my luck will involve not sleeping much.

    Morning ladies,

    Blinkin fridge/freezer packed up on our guests, fortunately we had one on standby so hoping that it works ok.

    Other than that it's gardening and painting of fences.

    At least you haven't been sacked yet TKP :)

    We have visitors from the Kingdom of Far Far Away over again this week so we need to take them out tonight and entertain them (read: buy drinks), but at least it'll be free!

    Thursday

    Morning Losers!

    I've still not be sacked yet, though the actual learning side of things has started now, and I spent yesterday learning/reading about Human Rights and Victims/Witnesses and Intimidation. It's all fascinating stuff, I have to admit, I'm loving it and wishing I'd done this years ago!

    After work today, I'm taking my dog-walking friend out for a meal in our favourite pub.

    Greetings all,
    Not been posting much as I'm mostly doing sweet FA. Holiday also drawing to a close, off for a posh meal tonight so I've had to put long trousers on, eurgh. Got to get new tyres fitted tomorrow as got a flat and a couple of them are pretty knackered anyway. Deep joy. Good to see stroppy bird posting again.

    Evening Mongs,

    Friday

    Morning Losers!

    It's been a really fast week, but yesterday went on forever! We had to endure sale pitch after sale pitch "Life savings" this and "We're not a bank!" that :roll: It got tedius very quickly. I signed up for nothing. Got some free pens though.

    The meal was awesome. Steak sandwich :mrgreen:

    Today, once I've finished work, I need to tidy the house as there are 2 viewings happening. Joy.

    Laters!

    Morning Losers!

    Only one of the viewings turned up last night, and it turns out they live about 10 doors down from me, but they loved it, so looks like I might not have to put up with any more viewings! I still haven't heard anything from the house I've applied for though, I'll contact them today.

    I'll pack a few things away this morning and generally chill out, then this afternoon I'm over to Gigg Lane for the first game of the season!

    After that, an evening of relaxing and revision.

    Laters!

    Morning shirkers and the homeless,

    Done the watering and now sat outside have a lazy breakfast. Sun is out so it's rather pleasant. Mrs is trying to get me to sort stuff but I'm successfully resisting at the moment!

    Ended up doing my race, legs were crap, only working at about 80% according to the power ranger. Decided to attack on the first lap for banter and ended up being off in a break of three. Settled for third as I'm not chasing points and just amazed I wasn't dropped.

    It's Sunday you frikkin worms,

    Watering, pool clean, veg plot weeding and chicken coop cleaned. None of the previous phrases are euphemisms would you believe?

    Now watching the fit burds on the athletics and ignoring the men!

    I prefer to think of today as the intro to my last week in the office till mid September due to a fortunate coincidence of holidays and jury service :) The only slight snag os the 5 days of work before then...

    Monday

    Morning Losers!

    I didn't have enough sleep last night, I can tell by A) it was nearly midnight when I went to bed, and B) I'm absolutely farked right now.
    Good weekend has been had though, I'm looking forward to week 2 in the new job, I think things begin to slowly start picking up speed. We'll see.

    Laters!

    Afternoon cockfags,

    Can't imagine plod training is too difficult, if the truncheon doesn't work, use the taser, if the taser fails get the shooter out.

    Monging around in the garden again, trying to keep the chickens off the tomatoes.

    Nearly had an early bottle of wine but decided to save it for later.

    Toodles.

    I reckon TKM will end up starring in the remake of 'Hot Fuzz' :D

    Woke up this morning, no idea what day it was or where I was then realised I was due to pedal to work - ho hum. But only 5 days left in the office before the hols start so starting to get a bit demob. Now to pedal home and see what's on the table for dinner...
