My mate worked it out, bike had been found the day after it was stolen...

Also the way the bike had been stored it had allowed water to get in to the engine and it had rusted/seized up, he decided due to the storage and repair costs it wasn't worth retrieving from the compound...

Think I'd have been having a bit of an argument with Mr Plod...

Luckily they had it at the police station. Saved £170.

Cheapest so far is £79 each but its 6am........    Fingers crossed the Thomson ones will come down for that date although you can go this week for £69........ Or we could go somewhere civilised like Madeira even cheaper. 

Are all women as thick as mine? Apparently Patsys passport ran out in September.    Fortunately I didnt book the flight yet. Also she works next to the passport office in Peterborough so enough time I guess.

Answer, Yes...

Some years back when I lived in Scotland I met this woman, after going out for a few months we decide to go on holiday, booked a last minute deal about a fortnight before the departure date, few days to go pre the flight she digs out her passport, it's expired...


Back then you couldn't do this pre book appointment last minute thing with the passport office, you had to just go and queue, oh, passport office in Scotland's in Glasgow, we lived Edinburgh,,, so both us take an extra day off work (I'm the driver) and off we head to Glasgow, got to passport office pretty early, I just park up in a side street nearby with a view of just moving the car if a parking warden turns up,,, four hours later she arrives back, no passport,,, she'd stood in the queue, gets to the counter, her paperworks all checked and found to be ok,,, then she's told to come back tomorrow to pick it up,,, she explains predicament were in that this is Thursday and we fly Saturday and that we live in Edinburgh,,, Come back tomorrow...
So that's what we had to do...

So again women and passports, Yes, got the t-shirt...

Dont forget important things like wedding anniversary though do they? Bought a new combo microwave from AO.com last week, guaranteed delivery Monday and they text you what time its getting here. Got a text, sorry we dont have your delivery yet, still in Stoke. Just been tracking it, yesterday it made it to Birmingham and this morning to Peterborough. I live in hope.
Going to Wallsall and Northampton later, could have picked the fecker up eh?

Oooh, just got a text. Herbert will be delivering at 11.15 to 12.15.    I shall get the sack barrow ready for it round the front. Bin men are late too.....

Rain damage just around the new back door i had fitted, wallpaper hanging off and stains down the inside,, pointless ringing the knobs that did the job,

Back door, stains, knobs,,, is some sort of secret code...

 I forgot how vicious you lot are 

Went to Muckhart Inn for lunch, same place we had our Christmas dinner.

Janet made me a sandwich I dont have money to eat out   

Just had a customer round to pay for a car he got last year , He's been in hospital nut ward because he takes Wizz and its messed his head up, Well he was ranting about all sorts, I said just pay me what you have and bugger off before i end up on the same ward , dont worry he said i will pay you some more when i get it, I know i have the spare key and if you dont you will be on the bus

I'm going out to Cumbernauld in my own time to see if I can get permission from someone who won't answer letters to replace a decayed telephone pole in his property. He's not with BT so I can't even get his phone number to give him a call. Twat! He works all week too so he's never in when I visit and to cap it all, he has security gates with camera so we can't even get in!

Can you not just put a pole up outside and re route all the cables, then the old pole is down to him,
Bypass the Kent so to speak

No, if we move the pole then the existing cables/wires won't reach and would have to be renewed and transferred over. Twice the time and the expense. No matter! I got him in and gave him my famous withering look and he says we can go ahead!

Stopped off at M&S on the way back and got a nice set of pans by using a voucher we got for Christmas. Oh, and we went into the cafe for a coffee and a bacon roll. "It's in the fridge", she says. So it was...seems they just reheat them somehow. It was surprisingly nice! Either that or I was really hungry!

I have an overwhelming urge to chainsaw a full street of them poles

Today Mathew I'm preparing myself,,, it's the Pool Knockout Cup final tonight, were playing the other team from the local in it,,, match has got to be played in an independent pub so no team has a home advantage! so we're up at the Derby about ten minutes up the road,,, so back to my training,,,  "ANNIE, you got another can of beer from the fridge"...
