    Obviously, MF has been p1ssing these Honorary Police off!

    That would be quite an achievement from Wales, but then the MFs do seem quite adept at upsetting a few on here so who knows :D

    And the MFs are everywhere, apparently you're never 100 m away from one.

    I've heard of the long arm of the law, but he's not in Wales. He lives in Jersey. He's a Falle not a Jones.

    Is Falle Islandspeak for Smith or Jones?
    Something else I've learnt today. The other one was that Elton John and Tim Rice did backing vocals on Lily the Pink and Jack Bruce played bass.

    It's a Jersey born and bred name. There are quite a few names particular to the Island- Pallot Le Sueur, De Carteret, Falle etc

    Missed off Dodger there. V particular.

    Well the rain eased just as we started today so didn't get wet at all. Tick, result.

    Hazel escaped my attention, though lots of others went coppicing. I was part of a small subgroup of pyros, mega burning brash bonfire sesh where a hedge laying team had been at work earlier in the week, they had reduced and laid a very overgrown stretch with much hawthorn and blackthorn. And today was in lovely location on the ridge with cracking views over The Valley. So all good.

    Cold beer beckons. Deserved, again.

    Yeah, the Dodgers are locally called 1.1k residents. ie bringing their money into the island away from the nasty UK tax man.
  • Afternoon workers scroungers and slackers. Kids positive Monday, wife Wednesday and me last night. Spent the whole week filling in pizz poor forms for track and trace gravy train, ffs, never ending. No wonder no one answers the phone to them.
    Anyway hoping to spin it out to a 10day weekend.

    new minion not worked out or different position?

    if you can get a bump that'll be nice..... new toy or two 😁😁😁

    New minion (the one I mentioned a while back) is getting a promotion and we've brought in a grad recruit to fill her shoes. One other in the department has moved on as she got a biggish money offer from a bank so we're replacing her and I've had clearance to expand my evil tax avoidance empire by 2 more (which is almost done now). All change...

    Will have my review with the boss in a few weeks when I will drop a very handy salary survey and ask that he closes the gap or else I might have to stop fending off the headhunters :)

    Jersey speed limit is 40mph (even an Aygo can do this), but there are loads of 15-20-30mph. Green lanes (country lanes) are 15mph limit, so 10%+2= 3.5mph, it could still work. So about 18.5mph and you could get booked.

    15mph - some people can run faster than that. Someone tell Hoppy to move there right now :p

    Just been busted for speeding by the Po Po.

    3.5 mph over the limit through an empty country road.

    Even the bambini laughed at him but fair play, he's only doing his job on a cold rainy morning.

    In the Argo? 😳
    Must have been downhill with a tailwind.

    Nope - 3 year warranty and El Panzero isn't 3 for another few weeks :smile: In any event it'd be chicken feed compared to the time and money you spend on your upturned skips on wheels.

    Fair play to them but at least it gives them an aspiration to work towards.
