a smidge hungover, yesterday began with cafe, progressed rapidly to breakfast and bubbly, then curry and more bubbly, rounded off with a few glasses of port

today, work from home, etc., not quite the same

a the sound lyric again, one of the most underrated bands of all time, 30+ years since i saw them, played 'missiles' and 'new dark age', still gave me goosebumps

fat daddy

late getting up ..... rubbish at the gym ...... slow cycle to work .............. Turns out if you don't have rest days, your body just enforces them anyway !

Morning folks,
I think my cousin's neighbour when we were kids was in the Sound. We just thought he was a bit of a weirdo. A bit tired as I was out past my bed time last night watching the Kaiser Chiefs, old stuff was good but new stuff was more average. Contrary to predictions there was no riot and it was all quite civilised. Nice ride in this morning, thankfully the park was open. Bit of fun watching a large stag chasing a female round and round a 5 bar gate, I kept well clear for a while. Now listening to 6 Music on headphones as they are spending the day as if it were 1979, some good stuff on the playlist. Cafe later for dead pig.

Is that you back on the mend?

Talking of which, we haven't heard much moaning and groaning from Wheelspinner recently. Is he on the mend too?
Pity, cos then I knew at least 2 people slower than me and that might change.

I had better get off my aris and out pedalling. Still recovering after yesterday's farquer of a day. Weekend is set to be wet and wild so I had better make the most of it.

Laters.

Always lapping the person on the sofa pinno.

Seems everyone is doing ok.

Need to go get a mortgage sharpish with the possible sharp inflation rise, which means I need to price up a new heating system and wiring on a 1930's cottage/house thing.Such fun, anyone got ball park figures?

Pub tonight, crudding tomorrow, lycra Sunday

Today it's 14th October 1979 on 6 Music all day today> Currently playing Tusk by Fleetwood Mac. This is going to be a great Friday.

I had just started secondary school so it's my era.

Currently working on some work.

Breakfast was some cardboard and no pigs were in any chance of danger during its production.

Home to some painting later.

If an old git is someone a few months older than you,then yes

Assuming the 68 in your name is referring to your birth year.

My older brothers always claimed that 78 - 81 was THE golden age of British pop.

uh the 00's are the golden age of pop

Indeed, hence the wink. I'm one myself. I'd probably agree with your brothers, I was just a fraction too young at the time to fully appreciate the music I like the most now.

Add me to that list I'm terribly slow.

Boring day thus far though im keeping a banana close to hand incase of escaped primates from the safari park. ordered some shredded pig for lunch which should be good.
No manager today either his nominated cover doesn't actually care what happens so its minimal work all round today, less after lunch no doubt

Nah still here and still cr@p. Physio taped my back again this week, and for reasons unknown my skin has taken a dislike to the stuff big time. Usually ok with it for a day or two at least, but not this week.

Been doing some house maintenance stuff again. Nice to be ticking some of the long overdue jobs off the list at least.

I read it and assumed I was one of the usual suspects.

Lots to do at work, not helped by feeling a bit fuzzy round the edges and the fact that they are ripping our section of the office to bits to squeeze more desks in so we've had to hot desk nearby. Judging by what I'm seeing we are going to start appreciating what call centre operatives fee like at some time early next week

But will have a decent early ride home as soon as I've finished the essentials.

Stevo next week as the reality may be more extreme than he realizes. :shock:

I hadn't thought of that. Phew, that's a relief.

Seems like other are putting themselves up for being the slowest. Any other takers?

My list was:

3rd last: Pinno/HD tied unless there's a gradient above 1%in which case he's farqed.
2nd last: Oxoman
Last: Wheelspinner.

@Flaneur. Have a look at the PPP thread before start insulting my couch.

Wheelspinner

It's a fair cop.

The 90's are completely dead to me since Jarvis Cocker started telling us to put peaches on our pizza.

:shock: That's significantly worse than putting chorizo in paella, regardless of how you pronounce any of it. Presumably this is in a supermarket advert when he tries to make food sound sexy.

And on the fifth day, around 4pm the Lord said "let there be beer!"



Which may be somewhat slightly related to Pinnos statement above.
