RMweb Premium AndyB Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2015 bliss, i can sleep in my own bed tonight instead of the cab floor of 70804 (which is surprisingly comfy!) my train tonight has been cancelled big jim, as a junior civil servant I used to pull 30-hour shifts about twice a week for a few weeks at a time, catching an hour or two of sleep about 5 in the morning on the office floor. They supposedly had a "hard lying" allowance. A perfect name for it as the floor was made of concrete. I never actually saw the allowance, but it was a nice concept. Enjoy your mattress, sounds like you deserve it. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have just opened a bottle of Delirium Tremens beer. Very good if one is thirsty! I will only be having one though. Dinner is "on hold" as Aditi was delayed as the power-fold mirrors on her Fiesta wouldn't unfold. I suggested reading the manual but she had already tried that. Someone passing by told her that her Mum had the same car and there wasn't a manual override. I said there must be and started looking on Google. She rang home to say that a nice man at AA tech support told her what to do! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelintrev Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Evening all, posted a few more holiday snaps tonight. For Xmas I was given a number of bottles of non - alcoholic sparkling wine ( ghastly stuff), so my house girl who can be very inventive in the kitchen decided it might make a "Red Wine" sauce to go with chicken - it didnt....well a least it was edible - and with mash potato to soak some of it up...rest of the bottle went down the drain! Ok bed time, sleep tight, mind the bugs dont bite, pleasant dreams, Trev. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Two large glasses of Bushmills has had a very theraputic effect after the double trauma of shopping at Boundary Mills followed by IKEA, plus the transit along the M6/M54. Even as I write this, I can feel the urge for a smaller nightcap of same beckoning. I say this as, I have to finish the Bushmills prior to starting on the Glenfiddich that DD and Son in Law got me for Christmas. They got it for me because they liked the box (Bless). Lots of low flying helicopters around tonight: Obviously Shawbury has started a night flying phase for the trainees. Some would complain...................Having been grateful for quite a bit of helicopter support during my military career, including a ride as a casualty on a medivac flight, all they get from me is a wave or a thumbs up. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Have two and you will be trembling!!! Very nice though That would have required a trip to the garage/train playing area to replenish the fridge! I needed not to be brain numb as I may have had to sort out the Fiesta mirrors but they are fine now. Obviously they needed to be back in Essex! 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 8, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2015 Two large glasses of Bushmills has had a very theraputic effect ...When Matthew went to Malta for his alleged geography meeting he was asked to bring along something alcoholic from the UK so he took a bottle of Bushmills. Apparently it was a popular choice. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lightengine Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Postman did well today. Came after 12.30 and left 4 items. Only 2 for us, the other 2 were for a woman with a different name to us who lives in a completely different address. I have complained several times already about receiving wrong mail or a neighbour having to bring our mail round. So in a fit of pique I decided action was needed. I carefully placed a sticky label on both items, so that the delivery address could be seen and then wrote 'delivered by a blind postman to (and put our address)'. Lets see if we get any more wronguns. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluebottle Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Spent most of the day sorting out old photos, and thought I'd share this one. Mater (on right) and friend puttin' on the style, circa 1955. We lived on a South Yorks NCB estate then, alongside other Scots, Welsh, Irish, Geordies, etc, a lively place where people knew how to make their own entertainment. Mater's duo had their own little song and dance act, which was a general favourite at Hogmanay - particularly their hilarious sand dance, with Pater accompanying them on the moothie. The Christmas highlight for me was the arrival of Santa Claus with toys for the smaller bairns - a short, wiry, dark-complexioned man from the South Welsh Valleys whose lack of stature he more than made up for with a booming voice - "WHAT D'YOU WANT FOR CHRISTMAS THEN, BOYO?" Happy days. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckymucklebackit Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Morning all - been awake since 3am, now up and made a cup of tea. The wind is so high that you cannot possibly sleep for the noise it is making. Not looking forward to the journey to work as it is not supposed to settle down until later this morning.

Smiffy2 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wotcha. Up early after an early night, flu still with me... Just how long does this take to go away? Julie in the shop today, so I'm planning to spend it modelling. Supposed to go to political briefings Saturday and Sunday, but I think I'll let the others tell me about it when they get back! Have a good day, all, special sympathy for those using London Bridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
