      Mmm, I don't like the sound of that. Always look busy.

  3. Back at 'work' with nothing to do. Contract bid in Nov has been lost, the grim reaper approacheth.

      Sorry to hear that, best of luck whatever comes.

  4. Slightly more relevant than the Mayan calander running out of numbers, the Winter Solstice has just passed, (at 11:12 GMT) it is now officially Yule, the Holly King is vanquished and the Oak King is reborn. Light begins to return to the northern hemisphere. The party starts here!!

      Wassail to you, and your apple tree!

  5. Bored out of my mind waiting for the phone to ring or an email to arrive. And when I get home it will be flat out exteme parenting until 11:00pm

  6. Why do paper manufacturers use such poncey names. It seems I need 'chamois' aka beige.

      I still say that Games Workshop had the right idea here - who can forget such classics as Skull White, Bile Yellow and, a personal favourite of mine, Snot Green!

      I was just thinking about this the other night and could only recall the FUNEM-SVFM easy bits!

  8. Can't belive I need a 50 lever frame for Stourhampton North.

  9. I think'Morris Minor' is a statement of class. Minor means younger, smaller or less significant. If you had a Morris Minor you knew your place, you knew you wern't good enough for a proper Morris.

      There are performance upgrades too, so you could look as though you knew your place, but with the capacity to beat your betters with a big stick!

      Do you mean the MGB engine shoe-horned under the bonnet type conversion?

  10. No work today so I spent the day reading up on thw Woodhead line on the web. I have never felt so angry about a closure as this one.

      Not even the GC London extension?

  11. 3 emails from anonymous. Interestingly there is no entry about J for Justice on BBC, ITV, Reuters or Wiki, surely its newsworthy if several forums were hacked as well as this one.

      I`m feeling left out; even the spammers don`t write to me! :-)

  17. Basil DeFarmer, a man in shining armour, Fought against injustice with his sword held high, And all his enemies, used to tremble at he knees, Whenever they heard his battle cry, "Avast ye varlets !"

  18. Is thinking of starting an old-folks home. My parents and the M.I.L. announced their intention to sell-up on the same day.

    1. Horsetan

      Would this home be a bit like St. Clabberts in "Father Ted"?

  23. Then one night, in desperation, the young man breaks away. He buys a gun, steals a car, He tries to run but he don't get far. From Handsworth.
