RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Just had an email from Liverpool to say that a certain DJM J94 Austerity has arrived. Management was already notified in advance that this one was coming so I shouldn't be in (too much) trouble this time. Bob, look at my latin moto, it sums the permanent situation of most husbands up very well. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie It was translated for me one night in the Ratty Arms at Ravenglass during a working party weekend. One f the party was a Cambridge classics MA and wrote it out on a beermat for me. Unfortunately Pete is no longer with us, but at least his education was put to good use. Jamie 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Good afternoon everyone. The day started out warm and sunny but by lunch the skies had darkened and were threatening rain, which arrived at lunchtime. Today my travels took me to Monton, where we have 2 sites, Warburton tunnel, (we have a gas pipeline which runs in its own tunnel under the Manchester Ship Canal, a lovely place to work NOT!), luckily my work today was on the surface, Cadishead, where I had lunch and then finally on to Trafford Park. I clocked up a grand total of 28 miles, an unusually low figure for me and one where there was no motorway mileage for a change, it'll be something similar for me tomorrow too. After the Trafford Park job I managed to get home early and had a cuppa with Mrs W. This evening will hopefully despite the rain, see me swimming in the quays. Back later. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombe Barton Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Two dogs to vets - both with the after effects of something picked up on the beach last week. The effects are best described using the Bristol Scale. The timing is every two hours, day and night. Antibiotics and bland food, which fortunately they like. Kerry is treating the antibiotics as sweeties, but with Sandy it's a different matter. Currently after a walk during the latter half of which the heavens opened, two damp dogs are drying off, one in my seat and one on the caravan sofa. Apparently summer was yesterday.

lightengine Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Apparently summer was yesterday. Beautiful day here in sunny Teignmouth today. It started raining around 11am and hasnt stopped yet. Lots of entertainment on the Den as it is Teignmouth Regatta week. I doubt that it will be well attended, especially the pavement drawing. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Still knackered, and it was a busy day at work too, with a staff member off unexpectedly just to put a cherry on top. Such is life. I'm supposed to be retired...... Mrs H currently pressure jetting the cars, not sure why she felt the need to do so tonight but I'm keeping a low profile and cooking dinner! Of course working in Peel my car gets a lot of seagull umbala on it. I don't care, I have no interest in cars they are just tools to me, but it must be something about being seen by friends or something! The tide flooded camper would be ruined here, we have a high tidal rise and fall. I hope they wash all the salt out from all the nooks and crannies, or it will be scrap soon enough. A friend once bought a land rover that he discovered afterwards had been flooded in the sea, it dissolved in front of his eyes almost. A BAAAD buy!

DDolfelin Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Creative use of the African sourced language, Neil. Umbala is useful to remember every time we need to refer to seagull carp. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mikes rail Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 1, 2016 Never ceases to amaze me how good an aim the seagulls have around here always seem to hit the car, and if you park anyware on the front in Peel they stand on the bonnet and stare you out in the hope of food 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had visitations from bl00dy seagulls; I swear they eat a diet based around Evostick - I found Tar remover the best to remove their unwanted "presents". :yes: Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Peel seagulls are notorious, even by Manx standards. 'Manx Eagles'. As we have extended our premises we now park on the other side of the building, and for a while it seemed to be eagle free, but they have worked it out and my car was covered. Bl@@dy things. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Barry O Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Yorkshire played badly and lost .. on Yorkshire Day. Her indoors was a runner up and a winner.. so two signed and frame certificates and two bits of glass or perspex. Well done to her indoors she does deserve the recognition. Sleep well!

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted August 1, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 1, 2016 Good evening everyone. I think the rain put a lot of swimming tonight, as there wasn't many in the water. Can't think why a bit of water falling down from the sky would put people off, you're swimming in the stuff when all's said and done! I also got my monies worth tonight, I was the last one out of the water, I was also a bit quicker than last week too, completing a mile in 47:32. Anyway, I'm bucking follocksed so I'm off to bed. Goodnight all. 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
