Good Morning protien swallowers.

Today I am doing mostly nothing! For I am upon holiday.

Took the shock off the back yesterday, out of curiosity and to grease it. totally put it back on wrong :oops: on the first attempt. Might index gears at some point.

    You people fail with morning threads!

    Morning losers!
    Having actually had some sleep, and just woken up, I have a day of work ahead of me. Whoop-de-do.
    Hopefully the brakes Gazlar has sent will arrive today, so a bit of fettling tonight could be on the cards.

    Laters!

    Mornin' Penguin theives

    The start of another whirlwind week in Clanksville. It starts with a meeting, and will undoubtedly end with a meeting. There are several meetings in between, also. I may (and there is the slightest chance, here) actually get some work done in between.

    Out of work, I will spend time sorting the house and sourcing a repalcement transfer box for the car, as the current encumbent has developed the 'death rattle'. Also trying to re-arrange finances so I can start saving for that Trek Fuel I think I deserve.

    What a heady, rock 'n' roll lifestyle I lead, eh?

    Onwards! To coffee, m**********rs! Yeah.

    Another day at the coal face. Meant to be a day off but needed to be in for a few bits, pain in the ar3e as I need to be in Birmingham for 17:00 - got a feeling I am going to be late. To add to the fun the wife took the sat nav out of my car a couple of weeks ago & therefore I am fubared for getting to a hotel somewhere near the mailbox :evil:

    Mornin Chutney Ferrets!

    Bleurgh, monday, can already feel loathing and general hatred towards work this morning and i have barely opened my eyes! My water is telling me it is not going to be a good day, ho hum :(

    Still, once the working day is complete i should get home to find a nice shiny new headunit for my car waiting for me, yay :) May also sneak a ride in this evening, as it was a complete MTB fail of a weekend :(

    Onwards (etc).....

    morning all,

    my son has chicken pox so the weekend was spent mostly cleaning up sick and making sure he's OK as the gf went out with her parents for most of the weekend. i did get out to the pub to watch the heineken cup final though :D

    no bike riding as i sold my HT friday and i'm in the process of buying the bits to build a new one that will hopefully be complete by next weekend 8)

    ah well, after about 4 hours sleep i'm off to get a big can of monster and some bacons

    Morning bumders

    Great time at Empire of Dirt yesterdays. Those riders are fecking amazing. Anyways uni meh today, got a couple of lectures about my next presentation, then the rest of the day will probably be spent with my tutor group while they faff around for ages over stupid insignificant details and ignore my attempts to actually get some work done. This is the massive problem with going to a uni full of womens, it's drives you fucking mental :roll:

    Gym this evening, then TV, more revision and crap. Also trying to find cheap bike insurance for next year.

    Morning Scuttlers,

    First day back at work today, still, week and half and I'm off for a week again, then another week back them a week off.

    Started taking apart Bender last night to turn Bender into Amy, ironically while I was watching a futurama where they all changed bodies.....weird

    Got to sort out the house this week as Mrs Gs sister and bloke have split up, but as neither have anywhere else to go they are just moving into separate rooms, although this means I get the front room back from being his nerd computer room as his PC can go in his bedroom now.

    Hopefully he'll move out soon and I'll be like man about the house

    Morning Ditch Diggers,

    Need more sleep and have developed a few post downhilingl aches but got off remarkably lightly compared to the damage I usually inflict on myself as I actually avoided stacking it yesterday :shock: Need to sort out the bike and maybe order some new brake pads, then its more job hunting fun. Might go for a swim if I'm feeling like it later: but priority now is a massive cup of coffee.

    Bonjour Maggots,

    A day of laziness once again.. what shall I do? No idea... missus is at work and I am left to my own devices.
    Not so hot out today, but I am sure the sun will shine later on in the day
    Today will be spent playing Angry Birds Rio and generally trying to make sense of French TV.. so many channels all in the wrong language..

    Full of the joys of monday this morning. Workmeh followed by yoga today. Then I've got to do something about the mess in my house as I don't seem to have managed to tidy up or do the washing up for about a week.
    Busy week this week, but the highlight is payday tomorrow, coinciding with the sale on CRC. Might treat myself to some things....maybe.

    Morning mongs

    Today I do not ache at all after cycling 120 miles yesterday. I do however seem to be incredibly alert which for Monday morning is never a good thing.

    Wife is not very well though, keeps passing out and can't stay awake, so I'm having to take time off this week to look after little one and little two.

    They arrived! Wiggle have a lot to live up to, as the bag of Haribo that came from Gazlar's order is HUGE! (A bit like my obvious).

    Definitely buying from him more often ;) Cheers matey!

    I hope it was a sealed bag. I'd not trust anything I got from Gaz to not be laced with roofies.

    Fark. I hope its nothing serious. Healing vibes.

    Up for 2 hours during the night for the little boo no.1 to have a midnight feast so running on a lack of sleep. That was until we just had a big department meeting of much imporance in the council chanbers. Council chambers = nap time so I am now feeling a little refreshed and ready to do some work.

    I call my wang my haribo, so if shes been eating that she is definately going to be ill

    EH_Rob, thanks for letting me off, fortunately it was Aldi Coleslaw and not my own, which is creamier, Mr Mule also held me to ransom on the Haribo, which was a dealbreaker if I didn't send it

    The Haribo (Not Gazlars obvious!) has been consumed, mainly by me. The minion was allowed some.

    It was indeed the dealbreaker. I asked for an hour with Maddie, but Gaz wouldn't give in, so I opted for Haribo.

    Not eating any Wang or haribo, but the Nurse gave her something and then took some fluids, still no change but worried she's becoming a lesbicon! (but still worried as blood test results won't come back til Thursday)
