trisonic Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Good Luck, Mick!!! And Tony, you'd better not be readying to tell all that your family actually, really, owns Vancouver Island (due to something to do with a Great Aunt and Edward VII)......................... Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Pete. I don't know if any property is involved but it does involve money, inheritance as in "does anyone have any information about" adverts in the newspaper, and why my mother's birth certificate had a big hole in it!

sixoh8sixoh Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Awake very early this morning, so I'm going to go into work early. Need to leave at 2 anyway for Round 2 of ear syringing... Not entirely sure how awake I'll be by lunchtime...! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2011 Morning all. Weather forecast says 30° today, possibly followed by thunder beginning during the night. I think I'll begin reading up on some material for one of the two essays I am planning to write over the break. Cheers everyone... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 1:19am in Gotham. It's 79f (26C). Stepped outside for a ciggy and it is blowing hard but it's giving no relief like wind from an open oven door. Yesterday was our 17th Anniversary. When we got married it was 106f (41C) so this is usually the hottest week of the year. Have a good day everyone. Best, Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major items of "the list" sorted yesterday so it's off to the London Transport Museum and other places for a day of jolly japes. Have a good one all.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2011 Morning all. It is a bit cooler here today. I don't seem to have anything planned for today. Happy anniversary, Pete. Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDolfelin Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Belated Anniversary wishes, Pete. It seems most of ERs have some sort of checkered history - most we'll never hear about. I'm no exception. There was this gunman in Mombasa ... There was the first four I hit for the First XI which nearly killed a fellow named Martyn ... There was the outdoor show that ended up with several million pounds worth of RVs in a ditch ... There was the time I used to employ dancing girls ... When I was very small I was hit by a bus - at a bus stop ... ... and there's more - a lot more. Wait for the book Gordon suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Morning All, I am always amazed what a fascinating collection of people are here on Early Risers. I don't think I have such an exciting checkered history! However, having said that, I am sure that I could think of a few interesting events from my past. Popped up to visit some relations in Kent yesterday. My cousins wife was telling me about the local big cat sightings - she has even managed to photograph it. No doubt about it, I've seen a photo of a large black cat which is roaming the wilds of Kent Don't worry Dominik - I won't forget which side of the road is the correct one, when I have to go back to driving on the wrong side Have a good day everyone...

RMweb Gold SouthernRegionSteam Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2011 Morning all, Yesterday I made good progress on the challenge entry at last, I just need to finalise where everything is going. I am enjoying the challenge though, even if at times it can be a bit frustrating! The weather seems to be somewhat overcast but mild, could really do with some sun though - it being July! Congratulations on the anniversary Pete! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2011 Happy anniversary, Pete! This day's turning out to be stinking hot... There is a bit of wind, but I feel like this just drives the heat around rather than providing any cooling. I don't envy people who need to work in the open in this kind of weather, such as the numerous PW crews currently engaged in repair work which had been scheduled for the vacation period.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2011 I'm a boring old fart that has no checkered history, has never done anything exciting..... or had anything exciting done to me. But I'm happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

trisonic Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks, Guys! I checked with my best man and he still has the same pair of snakeskin boots he wore 17 years ago...........cheapskate.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2011 Afternoon All Happy anniversary Pete. What's happening here - not a lot...and apart from being done for driving a car with no tax, I've not had a very remarkable past.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ooops. I forgot the 3 points on my licence in 1988. Does that count? I was helping my MiL with her search for car insurance recently and she had to admit to me that she currently had points for speeding! I must adit I was mildly amused as she always comments on others (not mine of course!) speeding habits. Is having 3 points what "Moral Turpitude" means on the US visa application?

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks, Guys! I checked with my best man and he still has the same pair of snakeskin boots he wore 17 years ago...........cheapskate. If he still wears them he may not be able to leave or enter the EU now though!

trisonic Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Let's let him find out............. 3 points on your license, weeeeeelll, you get to polish Sarah Palin's shoes, for a bit - It's like admiting you were a member of the CP.......

Guest Max Stafford Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I got sacked from a job for throwing lit bangers out the back of a moving van at 5am... And I got three points for speeding on a motorway once! Rock 'n' roll or what? Dave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted July 12, 2011 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2011 I only got a fine for exceeding parking time, many years ago – though this had, in fact, been due to an appointment at a physician's having taken much more time than I had thought. It's clouding up rather ominously over here and there have been advance warnings for possible heavy thunderstorms for the evening and night. Let's see how this turns out...

trisonic Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've had two speeding tickets in the 'States, one in North Carolina, one in New Jersey - both for doing 80mph in a 45mph zone. Both times the relative State Troopers chopped down my speed to 50 mph which was nice of them (because I was so pleasant, I can only assume). Btw over here your Insurer gets notified automatically or any points. How? I dunno but they do. I've never been done for speeding in the UK - even though I once overtook a parked "Jam Sandwich" (that ages it, right) on the M11 at 135mph under heavy braking - must have been their coffee break.
