Later could be a play on the new bike, but it should be avoid the pub after a couple of night of enjoying it

Good morning land lubbin' sons of scurvey infested washer women

Today I be scouring the oceans searching for the lost souls of Davey Jones' locker upon the mighty ship Madone if the foul weather doesn't curtail it.

Ahaarrrr me hearties. The usual Tuesday of rum, sodomy and the lash for me and me crew of maggot infested scum.

seanoconn

Mornin' all. Day off work t' do some work. Movin' in 2 weeks so better start packin' all me loot. 'ave a good day all arrrrrr.

haydenm

Arrrr me hearties. I can't be arsed with this. Feed me a few pints and I talk like that anyway.

Stunning morning out, 8 degrees or so but blue sky. Currently locked in debate for a new laptop, I've been using a 6 year old hand me down for the last 3 years despite me being one of two in the company who can use the performance hungry mapping software. That and the fact they have spent £25k on security and video conferencing rubbish. Unfortunately I hadn't realised all laptops are exorbitantly expensive and the people making the decisions don't really know much about computers (neither do I but I have googled the specs for Arcgis). Fun

Felt like a pirate out in the ocean this morning with all the fog on the ride into work.
Time to put the winter lights back on the bike.

Yarr.

Arrrr, bollox ye bilge rats!
Shite start to the day after not sleeping well, poxy car wouldn't start. I mean, avast there be no wind and the sails be limper than old Pugwash. I think I'll have to keel haul some of the land lubbers round these parts if they don't bring me more rum.

Poxy thing will be in the garage where I can't see it. In any event that can't use as much energy as the wife when she's in 'pointless criticism' mode :roll:

Makes sense - it is an EU initiative according to that link

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Have just been sailing the seven oceans on ye good ship Madone and am back to make some adjustments to the rudder and oars mechanisms - I did pass several lesser steel clad vessels on the way so am mildly content that the few doubloons I did invest in her have been spent wisely.

I may have some weevils and rum now as well.

Are Klingons pirates?

It would appear HD's children have duct-taped Dad's mouth shut, and tied his hands up. The post above is from Siri on his iPhone doing the voice-to-text thing.

it's a good idea in principle, and if the uk government had wanted to block it or do it differently, it could have

blaming the eu is simply the strategy that pretty much every uk government has taken to deflect attention and blame from its own incompetence and corruption - ministers and senior civil servants won't get all those nice directorships and consultancies if they upset the applecart

as with everything else in the uk's absurdly privatised energy business it just represents another way to hoover up the tax payers' money and transfer it to the government's chums, who will then return the favour with said directorships, consultancies, etc.

at least pirates are honest about it

arrrrrr

T'noon, joyus day as they've closed the M1 by me again, this time for some suspicious looking package under a bridge so now everything near by is on hyper alert for more bags/packages.
Parental unit F is currently in hospital moaning via email (why was I stupid enough to give her a tablet!!) how crap it is.

Anyway agree with sungod on the privatised energy providers, some silly amounts of pennies get backhanded around, but I work in a Spanish bank so technically I'm a Spanish Pirate! arrrrrr etc I need a hat with overly large feathers sticking out the top I think for today.

Moved onto Smells Like Teen Spirit.

May get the grog out soon to start a proper party.

Is that allowed at 1:30 on a Tuesday afternoon?

Yep. As long as you can still see to pick up the kids later.

It's over the yard arm so yes, it's perfectly acceptable.

Same in an airport, once you're through security the yard arm has been passed somewhere in the world.

Right - in the words of a 21 years ago me when Born Slippy was released: 'kin mad one: get on it.

Shouting, mega, mega, white thing
Mega, mega, white thing

Shouting, lager, lager, lager, lager

I've been properly earwormed, without even hearing the song.
