  1. Thought I heard the Plod Copter coming our way here in 36E and when I looked it was actually two Apache (is it?) Attack Copters loaded with weapons stuff. Must be some local scrotes doing mischief if that's what we are using now!

      The only 'musician' I've been 'taught' by was Gary Dunn (Dainties); he is a superb guitarist but probably pulled the rest of his hair out when he saw me turn up for the workshop! Nice bloke though and still teaching in Sunderland.

      Oh yes Debs. Cromptonnut - I am that worker and I don't spend all day leaning on a broom I can assure you!!

  21. Went into work to find very turse note from manager complaining that staff had said the place was cold. I found that some tw*t had turned off all the rads. Someone had also been climbing the walls in the bogs to switch off the hand dryer switches. I really do give up as these are supposed to be professional adults.

      Captain, sorry to hear that.

      I just need to reassure you all that the 'old boiler' in this discussion is being pampered tenderly but seems to have a fault in the (nervous) system and has lost control of certain vital functions.

  25. It doesn't have to be like this - all we have to do is make sure we keep talking.

      Well spotted Chris; I found a tape of Floyd under the seat in my motor and played it this morning, hence the (in my opinion) great quote.
