Morning Losers!

There was talk on facebook about sh1t this place is now. They're right. Everyone pull your shizzle together!

Today, I'm going to try and fly to work, then come home and replace my motorbike battery. That's about as exciting as it gets.

Laters!

    Yep pretty poor forum and the BB is similar

    Today is a corporate shoot day, talking mostly about printer contracts (just for you Stevo)

    Later will probably be a run

    No wind here, but I'm thinking my flight back to blighty could be delayed (Flies out at about 11:35 from the UK and due in at 7:20 tomorrow!)....time will tell!

    Quiet day here, no-one about!

    Have a good one all!

    windy as fook here today. my boys trampoline had blown over the fence but was luckily still caught by one of it's legs otherwise it would have landed smack bang on top of my car causing quite a bit of damage I reckon!

    other than that it's skiving and waiting to go for a ride later with northern monkey.

    so are we all emigrating to fb then?

    I think one of the reasons i dont come on here so often is because theres no mobile site, as i spend 90% of my working life out and about, so zooming in on posts is soo annoying. FB is easier, and there's more boobs.

    I never liked this forum on a mobile, so only ever go on when I'm with a computer.

    The problem with FB, is it's FB.

    Morning all,
    Only a bit blowy down here, I stiffened up against it in case I accidentally got blown off.
    I suppose if everybody complaining this place is shite on FB were complaining on here it might be better, problem being this place is shite. But then again so is FB. I try to avoid getting too much in the way of boobage on my FB feed because I still try to maintain the illusion that I'm some sort of responsible adult at times.
    I was too busy yesterday and didn't manage to get any biscuits. Fortunately the wife realised how much trouble I was in and stuck a pack of Jammy Dodgers in my bag this morning. That should get me through until lunchtime when I can replenish my stocks properly. Until then tea and the aforementioned.

    :-) Thank you. I knew there was something in there but I'm obviously unwell and struggled to make that sound even remotely smutty. I was thinking along the lines of a ring with a sticky red centre but it didn't quite work.

    Afternoon fools and horses. I'm off for a ride this afternoon. Heard it might be windy, should be refreshing.
    I love horses, best of all the animals. I love horses, they're my friends.

    In the NW of Scotland we regularly get wind speeds above 90mph, so hurricane force. We're used to it. The wind sometimes sets of car alarms. It doesn't stop anything around here, and people don't complain. B*tch over.

    I just asked the cute Polish girl in the office if she wanted a jammie ring, she politely declined then wondered why all the blokes were laughing.

    Evening Mongs, I laughed in the face of wind and pedalled in today. Quite good fun actually, keeps you on your toes near buses and lorries :) Hookers and blow will feature tomorrow as i'm out on the town.

    OK, if you're already talking to them there's no need for me to be match maker - I take it 'the bigger picture' means a discount? :wink:

    I'll leave you to have fun with salesmen. I probably haven't got a good reason to stick my nose in anyway - usually only get involved where it's cross border/multi-country stuff.

    Just because you have to pay £6.40 to get in doesn't make it an international border :)
