Waking up to the rain hammering on the windows, snuggled under a warm duvet, in the knowledge that Mrs_CS and Teenage Mutant have to go out and Iâve got the day offâŚ
When youâe had about 8 hours sleep in 3 days
The wife arranges the Xmas karaoke night.
So you wear your Xmas jumper get on stage and absolutely nail Driving Home for Xmas and bring the house downâŚ
On a night where every other singer is John Legend/Bonnie Tyler/ Journey/John Bon Jovi etc and are actual professional singers.
Damn who needs drugs/booze⌠the accolade of an audience when you know you canâ actually sing but something just "happened
Wow
So was a bit worried about the traffic this morning. Wasnât doing the normal run. I had a meeting at 10:30am in Poole, so swerved the A35 and Christchurch in general. Didnât bother following the satnav - just followed the road signs, once to my peril. For some reason, there are a couple of roundabouts that you have to go straight over, but the signs point you to the first exit. Perhaps zey are confusing ze Germans Confused the fuck out of me as the country lane I had to u-turn on looked like it was heading nowhere but a cowâs arse.
However, I got there eventually, and my keen(ish) sense of navigation brings me in on the road that skirts the lake.
It was not unlike OutRun.
minus the red ferrari convertible and leggy blonde passenger?
Yes! Science proves that men having a cold is worse than whatever women moan about, like childbirth and shit.
Of course itâs worse than child birth.
Ask yourself how many times you have heard a man say âwouldnât it be nice to have another cold?â
Not everyday sadly but today I got half of my retention bonus.
Have some respect @pap , thatâs the Holes Bay that is, itâs not a lake!!
Did you notice the reduced 50mph speed limit around the bay? That was because twats in their Subaru Imprezzas (are they still a fashion item) decided to leave the road on more than one occasion. Obviously the gently curving roads are too much for an Imprezza doing 100mph!!
We get 2 payments a year. One colleague resigned last week, another today. I donât think my manager could cope if I did. Though I am applying for another job. Ahhh donât tell him.
Fresh bread. home cooked ham. yummy cheese. home made pickled onions.
Umm I will have some form of cooked pig today
Working offshore in a Muslim country its on a par with alcohol and drugs in the things searched for when you fly to the unit

I didnât know whether to put this in the little anoyances of every day life or here, But as it somedays has a happy ending it ended up here.
Whilst out sunbathing at lunchtime listening to music that could be anywhere from 1960âs through 2015,
The sun is shining, feeling nice and relaxed a piece of music comes on which brings back a pleasent memory and an immediate erection rises.
Its annoying because you have to roll over which crushes everything. as having a boner on the bridge wing is not a normally an accepted thing when there are 150 men onboard and no women.
Happy ending will happen after I get back to my single man cabin.
I think that story belongs in the Too Much Information thread @philippinesaint , donât you have any Handie men on board??
we have Mechanics, Electricians, Instrument techs but no Handie men
Discovering your notice period is 1 month and not the 2 you thought. Now just to find a new job.
Iâm Job Hunting too! Iâm feeling the Muster Of The Vultures in my current position! No-oneâs said anything yet, but I think theyâre starting to realise that I havenât done any work for like 3 months. God knows how they found out! Iâve been so careful! Hiding complaints, shirking responsibility, shredding important documents etc.
I actually had an interview on Friday for New Job. It was shameful how convincing I was. âOh yes, Iâm a very hard worker! First to arrive in morning, last to leave at night! Never off sick!â It all sounded so plausible! Thereâs something seriously wrong with me. If I put half as much effort into working as I do into pretending Iâm working, I would probably be President or something.
They didnât suspect a thing though. Fkn Mugs! Iâm expecting an offer any moment now to join their exciting company & help with their ambitious growth plans. Poor bastards
