Went equipped this morning to rescue a chain anchor from a local property that had sold recently,a white flagged was waved at me when i presented my weapons of choice, On the way back home a little teaser for you as i pass this place quite a bit.....can you name the man that left in a hurry back in the day from the property gate post sign
5kg of salt Peter and a schematic of the palace of Westminster. .. top tip.... dry the ingredients very slowly....
Frankfurt-Almere-Amsterdam, good productive day with the help of the Mrs big time help to be honest, 3 floors in Frankfurt carrying bags of books and god knows what up the stairs I was fucked, ibis budget in south Amsterdam now supping Heineken after our little wander round dam, 12 midday out of here then down to Calais up to London to drop a mirror then up t north unless I find more work which I’m now looking for in hotel reception....living t dream
Yesterday........ greenlaning in the bad lands north of the Humber. Second proper ride out on my bike since fitting new valves and rings, so nice to have some compression again. The day was cut a bit short when my mate picked up a puncture near Fridaythorpe, the two inch nail in his tyre gradually grew in length with every telling of the story, last I heard it was a pitchfork that one of the local villagers had thrown at him......... His tyre slime plus some tyre weld got him going again for an hour or so but, we had to eventually call the day at Malton and head for home. One of the other guys asked if I was coming with them, I said "no, I said I`d go with my mate, make sure he gets home, he`d do the same for me if I had any problems." He laughed and said "you`d better hurry up then, your mates just fucked off and left you." Fecking so called mates!!! Took us two and a half hours and another tin of tyre weld to get home. Rode all the way back in torrential rain, that was grim I can tell you. My "water proof" gear finally gave up the fight 10 miles from home, I arrived back frozen and sat in a puddle, not of my own making I must add. Always sympathetic, my girlfriend found it all so very bloody hilarious. All in all, a brilliant day, good mates, good lanes, a good laugh and my old bike generally started first kick.
Every cloud has a silver lining. My wife forgot mouth wash for our Spring holiday. I've found that neat Malibu makes for a suitable alternative. No spitting, I had three "cleanings " before breakfast and two since.....
Well today the builder has sorted the telephone connections so we now have a landline. So that’s good. Benson for Beds finally delivered our new bed this morning, so this evening we started to build the bed. However half the plastic fittings (yes half!] that connect the bed slats to the frame were broken and so we now can’t finish the build. I’m more than a tad pissed off given that Bensons messed up delivery twice, and I only managed to get them to improve the “re-planned” delivery when I threatened to call their CEO. Not happy!
I’ve only just realised, the stupid sign’s been printed with the word ‘and’ twice . Dont people check these things before making them ? Don’t purchasers check them before buying them
