Morning

Absolutely hissing down and blowing a hoolie so unfortunately in the car for me. Sucks.

POET day today so gonna skidaddle as quick as I can, get home, get mech set up and do some weights. Then chores, taking Bambina to scouts etc etc etc.

Bottled the wobble in this morning at the mere hint of rain. A day of work avoidance beckons followed by drinks this evening. Happy Friday everyone

Morning. Very soggy this morning, sadly forgot I've got to do CPR course at work this morning for a few hours. So I shall be pummeling a gender neutral dummy into oblivion later. Wish I could do it using eldest son who's full of himself at the minute.

Back to life, back to reality...on the train headed for the office to discover what's been going on during my 4 weeks out. What's the worst that can happen?

On the plus side, as my internment - sorry jury service - has finished I'm off to Bike Park Wales on Monday. Yay 8)

Nice ride in the rain this morning .... although the 1st signs of wet soggy brown leaves has started to appear ... wont be long before the roads are a skid pan of sludge :eeeeeek:

working from home, don't fancy going out in the rain.

How is the weather in Wales looking Stevo?

Oxo living his dream. . .

Remember to turn its head so it doesn't vom on you after each breath, put your hand over its forehead so it doesn't nut you when you first check for breathing/AVPU and to put its feet up as the very first thing. Separates you from the amateurs.

Feet? When I did it we only had a head and torso. I did point out that I thought she was probably dead anyway as the trauma that resulted in the loss of limbs and pelvis would have been quite severe.

Morning folks,
Ears are ringing this morning. Following on from the thread title of yesterday I went full rock n roll and went to a gig to get down wiv da kids, it was very loud. I was supposed to have been going out with some friends but one had forgotten it was his wedding anniversary so that was cancelled, thought a quiet night in would do me good. Then the lad told me about the gig and it seemed like a good idea. I need more tea, somebody go and make me a cuppa. The coffee machine is on and warming nicely. Later will be a trip to the cafe to eat dead pig and later still will be a visit to the pub with the Mrs. Until then customer avoidance, if they manage to get hold of me I will have to upset them. Only upset two so far.
Onwards and upwards...

Ferkin 'fun' run next w.end means sleeping shite as I'm winding myself up, not training due to tight hamstrings and now manflu - then to top it all off not drinking

And work has gone manic so may miss my new disposable road bike delivery

<adopt geeky tired voice> reduction of hypovolaemia to the heart and circulatory system - essentially get the bodies' fluids back where it needs it and not at the feet.

Perfect thing is for feet to be above the heart, but if you can grab a chair or large bag just slam it under their feet. Dwarves are also useful for this purpose as well.

Even if they are no longer attached? I'd have thought still being attached is desirable.
I think my ears are bleeding.

Matthewfalle

You may say that but a guy I know was serving in Northern Ireland during the Troubles and radioed in to say that the guys they were looking for had been found and were dead.

Boss man said back that they weren't quall'd to call it and to do CPR until the Doc arrived - dude was an infanteer, not med.

Back and forth it went - "they're dead" "you can't call it" etc.

Doc turned up - guy was doing rescue breaths, mucked was on the chest as required.

Only glitch was the had was a good 15 feet from the body. Doc agreed that maybe dude could call this one .....

Attachment will only lead to disappointment.

If ears are bleeding then plug with cheese a la Cacofonix.

Camembert does the job nicely.

<Adopt geeky void again>

No longer nelly the elephant or staying alive due to increased compressions per minute - nelly on acid or bee gees on coke: all slightly faster.

My word I'm a dullard.......

Civvie ambo reckon they are dark. Oh no, welcome to the cave of darkness.

Friend was chugging along in his helicopter in Afghan off to meet some other blokes. Radio man was listening in on local bad men and heard them say "the doctor is coming. Shoot the doctor"

Matey felt that it may not be a great day at work that day .........

Matthewfalle

On a brighter note, 3 of the 4 front mechs that I needed to sort have gone well. Last one is being an arse.

Before I go put it across the web, anyone here interested in an Ultegra 6800 groupset or an S works carbon seat post?

Is an almost literal description of my working environment. For different reasons, at least no-one is shooting at me or wandering round with severed heads. Grumpy today as have a full weekend in the darkness, and the compensatory day off on Monday will be filled with finding some shoes that don't have holes in, and finding out why my 6 month old square taper BB has fallen apart already. And I've only had 1 cup of coffee, no cake and no biscuits.

Hope y'all are faring better.

Wheelspinner

Finished the wall cladding work we've been doing all week. Will be a pleasure to dismantle the scaffolding and platform on the weekend.

Another job off the list, and one of the tougher ones at that.

the rain it pissetheth

contemplating going cafe soggio, not sure i can bear more gmc whining, excel, and powerpoint without extra caffeine, pining for spanish choc biccies as well, sigh

step83

Afternoon fellow aquatic beings. Currently running on zero sleep owning to the mother being rushed back in to hospital. Many coffees being drunk many insults being given. Today is going to be a slog.

Its also hammering it down an theres a leak somewhere I can hear

Matthewfalle

Absoloutely horrendous here - wind, rain, the full lot.

This is grim. Going to go home in a bit - might go past mate's bike shop as I can't be bothered to mess around with front mech.

Light showers for Monday which is pretty good for Wales and not enough rain to stop play.

We'll have one last weather check this evening to make sure the forecast hasn't changed to torrential rain then Thunderbirds are go.
