Today I am off to Pretoria of all places... to a motorcycle parts manufacturer and distributor.. seeing as I have a 2012 Yamaha R1 on my wish list and a ZXR750 stuck in mate's garage in Bristol, this may just tempt me get my bike shipped over or foolishly spend money on a new bike..
Other news, IBM approached me yesterday in regards to a position of Technical Services Manager I applied for in late 2012. Hmm.. Big Blue.. I wonder... I will be seeing them next week..
Morning Losers!
Still have the cold, thankfully it's not developed into ManFlu, it's just irritating. Nothing much going on at the moment, it's all quiet on the Western front. Which I'm ok with, so long as this can last until Friday, when I then have a week off.
Laters!
It takes as much courage to have tried and failed as it does to have tried and succeeded.

Late finish today, and I may not get a chance to stock up on bacons - it depends on when everyone I'm expecting arrives. But a dish of fried treats would go down nicely about now!
Onwards! To caffiene! And dreams of fried piggymeats!
How would I write my own epitaph? With a crayon - I'm not allowed anything I can sharpen to a sustainable point.

start of a short week, had yesterday off due to migraine from painting & monday off due to erm "transport disruption"
so today will be lots of catching up & maybe a jobhunt at lunch, as basically ive been told to go above & beyond out of contracted hours to keep my below average pay
morning felchers,
a little equation to start the day
early finish today at 13:30+ mini monkeys all at school/ grandparents untill 15:30= time out on bike
this pleases me
pity those who don't drink, the way they feel when they wake is the best they will feel all day
Bl**dy aweful day, was meant to be my first proper ride in a while as I've had a nasty viral infection, now the ruddy gov'nor wants us at work until 6 due to the visit of the holding companies outgoing and incoming Chairmen....DAMMIT!
Mehning Feckers!
Sold the HT last night, so now i can concentrate on other things like buying cars
Few meetings at work today which will disrupt my car buying time :roll: but other than that got a lot of work done yesterday, which free's me up for the rest of the week.
I think the wife may of tried passing me her lergie last night, I will have to MTFU to get through it, luckily its only Lady flu which is weaker.
May get out on one of the bikes later, lights are charged just in case?
Onwards to more coffee and Bacons substitute - Bacons.

Ahh, you're getting caught with them, too. Oh, the hilarity. :roll:
On the plus side, we only get them for about an hour!

Productive afternoon yesterday saw me get most of the accommodation for cc2cc booked up, including bacons of the mornings. I was then woke by Mrs Gazlars sister having a loud phone convo on the landing with her phone on speakerphone to manchild mk II, wasn't happy.
I'm now having coffee before going to treherbert.
Oh and started Watching the excellent Series Campus on DVD last night, a kind of green wing at in a uni, I'm sure Sara Pascoe's character is based on or very own foxc.

I started watching that but didn't get all the way through, due to forgetting when it was on! Funny though.
Can't remember which character you're talking about...

Yup, the big knobs arrive at about 4:30, our normal wenting time, so we have to all stay and pretend to be working hard for their benefit.....
Afternoon! I slept, for 9 hours Happy me, this means I have energy to entertain the man later! I am cooking pie too! Nom nom nom.
Giggitty!
Minion hasn't come in today, she has a migraine apparently. I read this as she's out somewhere doing something else. I had to make my own tea, which is most displeasing.
Productive day so far, considering.

Woke up at 0530 by some clown in a snow plough i thought the world was ending! he must have been struggling with the half an inch of slush........twunt!
Possible move back to the eastern side of the country kiboshed as well today but on the up side my turbo trainer has turned up and mrs 13 and i are booking another ski trip for late feb am now a very happy bunny!
Slept well and Hen Party planning today instead of working. Just come up with the amazing idea of having the whole do at the Isle of Wight festival. This seems to be going down well with some but not all. If they don't like they don't have to come is my view.
Wonder how much slush will be in Cardiff on my return tonight? Probably enough to make it annoying. Have to see if my car still goes as I havent moved or started it in weeks and need it for Friday.
Sarcasm: Because punching someone in the face is illegal.
Just come up with the amazing idea of having the hole done at the Isle of Wight festival. This entails going down on some but not all. "If they don't like they don't have to come" is my view.

Cardiff is mostly slush today. I can sympathise with the Hen do thing, I've been trying to arrange my mate's which is a pain in the arris as he wants final say on everything, firstly I suggested a festival, then I found us a great weekend away with 4x track, total wipeout course, high ropes and mountyain boarding or canoeing, staying in camping sheds in devon for 80 notes for the weekend with a lively club life nearby, that was too expensive so now he wants to go to Birmingham for 2 hours go karting, 75 quid each then Brum prices on the pints afterwards.
This is why I'm never geting married

I have been full of CBA today, work was meh. Got home, did the ironing, more on the Mk 22 Spitfire, got the Barry White ready for tomorrow afternoon, broke my airbike lights. Two interview offers, both in London, came through about half an hour ago.
Ordered 2 pairs of jeans, tshirts and a shirt in the Howies sale. Need to order some new lights but might just wait till later in the year and make do with the 4 501b's.
Joined the not so local bike club so I'm now a TROG.
Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.

Damn good bakery. Stumbled across it by chance but now go out of my way to go there.
Nothing too exciting to report. This will be the second day in a row that I have actual work to do and then a meeting to attend this afternoon.
All this work and no cake in sight. Tea by itself it is then.
Later......

Grumpy today due to my ongoing 3am-wake-up-for-an-hour.
Not much else to report, work sucks, but the end is in sight.
