What are you doing today??

My Shona is starting secondary school tomorrow and I don't like it! Time is moving waaay too fast

Never mind Dermot, have a second lot of kids once you have got disappointed with the first lot as they reach their later teen years like I did. Disappointment twice then.   On the plus side both Jack and Freddie are employed this week, Jack is on a bin round, bloody good job but sadly not employed direct with the Council, Freddie is selling double glazing door to door in Peterborough, waste of fecking time. 
My old mans a dustman, wears a dustmans cap, he wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a........ Now I always wondered what cor blimey trousers were, I know now, hyperdermic syringe proof. 

He tells me there are NO foreigners on the bin rounds. Jeez, bit like the dockers then innit!

I was fitting stereo in camper van today, four speakers, two in the front and two in the back. The stereo bits a bit superfluous though as I can only hear with my right ear.   Anyway, I was listening to Radio 2 and discovered some interesting information. We always put £ sign in front of prices,,,,,,£3.59, my value. But I have noticed the Spanish tend to put € sign after amount,,,3.59€. So I have now got it on good authority that they are doing it wrong. The sign ONLY goes after the amount if its an abrieviation, ie 123,895pts. Or for us English 32ozs in 2lbs....

Educational forum this!!

I was driving Freddies littel learner car yesterday and had an accident, Now for months on end I have been driving me Merc about just looking for a handy impact to write it off, nowt. Overtakking this geezer and he changes lane just as I'm abreast of him, bang, pushes me up onto the grass verge but I manage to control it (raining), look in mirror and see his car spinning in road and bits flying off   What was it? Nissan 4 wheel drive jobby. Skoda Fabia 1 Nissan X-Trail 0   I do believe that my rear plastic hub cab burst his off side front tyre. Sadly the hub cap will never be the same but apart from that some minor scratches, his however probably a write-off. Silly boy.

I blame the BBC, Radio 2. Can you get that in Ireland?

Went to Skegness yesterday and put complete new fuel line on boat, bled the diesel through but battery was not strong enough to start it anyway. No electric anywhere near mooring so I had to struggle 200m across long grass holding fecking heavy battery. Its been on charge all day @8amp but still not fully charged, thats how big the fecker is! May go back tomorrow to give it a go. Fecking boat hasnt moved since last October,   and summers nearly over......

We're nipping up to Argos to buy a baby walker thingy for Brodie...

Should have taken it off the LT and started it, then swop back.

What's a LT then?

Vince's Campervan innit.

Oh!

Two flat batteries now and still not starting. Just to make it worse they have locked the gate to the sailing club far car park where my boat is cos its a 'construction site' and more than the silly feckers jobs worth to let me use it. KENT. Now I have to use the public/bird watchers car park. Strange because the solitary fisherman can use it but then again if he is used to going to sea in that old tub a six foot steel fence, only possible hazard installed by construction site themselves aint gonna bother him is it? I am now utilising a sack barrow for transporting batterys! LT wont be taxed until Sept 1st either. Today I managed to short out the starter relay and break the throttle cable just to add to my woes. 

Have you tried tow starting it...

bump start it Vince, I am over soon I will get behind the wheel you push.

Just had some friends around for the evening. Got a box of that Corona Light beer ( well it was a euro cheaper than the normal stuff). Doesn't taste anywhere near as nice but after 5 or 6 bottles , its not too bad.

get to bed...

Light beer is for lightweights, anything under 5%vol is pointless.

...

Was it a good day then Minty? (Apart from Man U getting beat!)

Yip, sweating alcohol at the mo, just as well it wasn't the normal two day stint...

Bought a 4k smart tv today. I'm going to give SKY the boot so it should pay for itself in the first year. Freeview HD and Freesat HD installed in the TV.

Now I know I am thick stupid and old but I used to be able to put photos on if I was using IE. Has something changed? Sure there used to be an oak tree I clicked on but thats disappeared. Dermot can seem to manage it and hes fecking Irish ffs. Go on Cam, remind me how it works...............
