Morning folks,
Cold but quite nice out down here as well. Drove in to work as I still have man flu which is very dull. The EPO keeps telling me to go to the doc's but it's only a cold and it will sort itself out in time regardless. Catching up on the stuff that other people didn't do last week, after that I will revert to full on shirking as is traditional.0 -
Went to Arran this weekend, cracking weather which was a nice surprise after last week. Dragged the GF up a mountain, GF is no longer my GF (in a good way). Very happy all round, two days later and my phone has just stopped buzzing. Obviously I put it on strava first...
Bit of ice on the car this morning but put the heater on and went for a quick walk in the woods with the dog to enjoy the sunshine. Very un-British bit of positivity but today is perfect, can't beat cold and crisp!0 -
Nippy out there.
Took Porker for a spin last night,
Battery was a little flat so charged it previously for ooh, not long enough.
But it started and I went to get fuel. Then it didn't start. Then I got a taxi home and back again, replete with jump leads. Started first flick.
As i'm heading out on what was a beautiful (full) moon lit night, some bloke is flashing his headlights at me through a 50 zone.
Bloke behind me is determined to show that his Nissoyotafraudvw clonewagon can easily keep up with a Porker and is tailgating me until the 50 ends and a short section of duel carriageway starts. He overtakes at silly speed. Too interested in one up man ship to notice what's going on.
Then a blue light appears behind me. They go past me and pull Nissoyotafraudvw clonewagon driver.
Now that I knew the cops were occupied...
Severe lack of narration and tales from Tabbies by Sungod. It's a poor show. I'll be having words with him.
Meanwhile it's silly jobs time.

Congrats! Have you set a date?
Cheers! Nope not yet, I quite like the idea of May time (so our anniversaries have a good chance of nice weather) but apparently next May is way too soon, would give us time to save if we left it til 2020. That said, if we went for Autumn it would give us an excuse to go away somewhere nice rather than Scottish island trips... It can't be March because I like to go away cycling then and she would murder me if I took the bike
She is off to get the ring resized today, more than a little bit excited0 -

You mean you left her up there and the police and parents are now non stop calling?
Back had coffee and food, not sure if yogurt is classed as food but it fills a hole.
Pinno, hot start issue? Could be some silly earth lead etc0 -

'In a good way' is quite perspective dependant I guess! Reading it back it does sound like I murdered her...
Edit: although if I had I probably wouldn't have put the hike on strava0 -
Congrats HM. Regarding the date can I recommend something memorable. We went for the 1st of July as I thought being the 1st of the month I was more likely to remember it.
Drop off went well thanks H³. We dumped his stuff in his room then went for a pub lunch before leaving him to it. Quite a coincidence that his cousin walked into the pub while we were eating, he has a tendency to bump into her in random places. Just had a message from him, he was out until 4am with all the other people from his block in the halls. Seems quite happy.0 -

Good plan. I was initially planning to propose on New Year's Day as that is her Birthday, to get all our important life events in one place, a wedding on the 1st of the 1st may be really expensive and no one would turn up though...Veronese68 wrote:Drop off went well thanks H³.

I'm jealous of your son, a very exciting time. Which city?0 -

Congratulations.
I told her she would get arrested for showing off her ring, and reply 'hur hur hur ring' every time she mentions it. Not sure we will make it to next week, let alone setting a date...

Well done Hayden; remember marriage isn't a word, it's a sentence
First day in a long while for jacket and full finger gloves while pedalling in. It's made me hungry as well so now stuffing my face with double rations.
Stropteen turns 17 today so I'll only be able to call her that for another 3 years. Happy birthday also to 'mini' V68 who passes that milestone today. Looks like were having a slap up take away tonight to celebrate (Stropteen's request).
In other good news, the police have called back to say they are following up with 'one individual' next door regardless of the fact they have to vacate by the end of the month. aka druggy chav, so looks like all the reporting of dope smoking paid off
We've also lined up the council waste enforcement lot to drop by on Thursday morning when the contents of the chavs rubbish bags will most likely be strewn across the verge/road after the foxes have their midnight party - I helpfully gave them the contact details of the s***bag managing agent in case they need to issue a fine to him as a goodbye present "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered."

Birmingham, I'm led to believe it's not as bad as my London-centric self imagines it to be. The main thing is he's having fun.HaydenM wrote:I'm jealous of your son, a very exciting time. Which city?
Happy birthday to Stropteen. How much will the insurance be for her on your new motor? 0 -

I have only been to the done up bit in the centre so I couldn't say. I bet it's a good place to go to uni though, lots of bars0 -
Happy engagement and happy birthdays to offsprings
As I’ve drowned in ale all weekend and exercised the manflu has returned0 -
Congratulations HM.
Just had jab-in-the-eye #15 of a series stretching back almost 2 years. Asked doc if season ticket is a better option, to much hilarity. Yeah, fun 'til the anaesthetic wears off and any iodine traces left there get to work.
Need to get back on the wheels. Have a sportive booked with daughter #2 at end of October, done nothing for near 5 weeks. Wonder if all the high altitude Andean hiking past 3 weeks will mean mega improvements...?0 -
Afternoon all, need to up my bottom bracket game a bit, so will endeavour to post here more often (I bet you are all delighted by that news)
currently struggling with motivation at work, i'm looking for other jobs so hard to get excited about the current one.
Second interview on Wednesday for a much better job role, for more money (says more about my current salary than the new one i'm afraid!) much nearer to home (can actually start commuting by bike again!) so fingers crossed!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -

I went to Birmingham uni and am still midlands based may years on so can't be that bad!www.conjunctivitis.com - a site for sore eyes0 -
Probably about the same as on a hotel in Syria. Luckily she doesn't want to learn right now - win. If she does I'll probably buy her some tiny shitbox 1 litre Japanese hatchback.Veronese68 wrote:

The Mrs asked our daughter if she'd like to learn to drive a few years back, she replied that she'd rather have a motorbike.Stevo 666 wrote:

Already done. It takes forever and costs lots of money, too much hassle really. All I really want to do is buy a ducatti and pose...0 -

Had worse injuries riding a bicycle.
