What are you doing today ??

[D41]

Obviously I wouldn't front kick a child in the chest,

Why not??.....I would. I'd drop-kick that little mother**ker then punt him down to the food court like fecking Malcolm MacDonald.....hell, they're gonna end up there anyway....I'd be doing a public service, saving the little bastard from walking for 50ft or so.

I know the type...
"Mum, when is Dad coming home??"
"When he get's off the oil rig, love".
"Yeah, but he's been there for 12 years, and I'm only 6??"

[Kwacky]

Saw a client this morning then said I would work from home.

But some idiot in IT has revoked my remote access credentials.

So currently waiting for a call back.

Haven't eating Koala, think they are protected, but I have eaten kangaroo, emu, snake and crocodile. There's a famous pizza at a local pub called 'Coat of Arms' cause its got kangaroo and emu on it.

I'd have all that over a Spotted Dick

[Blade]

I had a mixed grill when in Australia and I think it had Skippy, croc, emu and other local delicacies I can't remeber.

Day off, but nothing exciting though national grid / gas are making a mess of my street and many around here, digging up and installing new gas pipes. For some reason which I have no idea why, except some bull that the meters have to be moved from inside my house to outside - health and safety? Which means they will be running new pipe in my house and I have no control or choice in matter, and tuning the gas off... I.e my heating and hot water.....
Why the f@$# do they choose Dec to start these works ?

[Itchy]

Yesterday (didn't post then as I was knackered) I went to a beach party at the beach house of the Qatari Minister of Defence.

Free food, time on the beach, jetskiing, more free food, free beers...
I neglected to go on a Camel ride, and due to the inordinate amount of Americans there I ran out of time to go on the quad bikes.

But still, got my feet wet in another waterway of the world and tried jetskiing for the first time.
(Awesome, by the way!)


Also tried Camel meat for the first time. Not something I be rushing to do again. Like lamb, but really fatty/greasy.

[Kwacky]

Hobbling around like an old man.

Lower back DOMs is uncomfortable.

So much for being here at 8am !!!!!!! I have taken a day off for this crap and they are not even here yet......

[Kwacky]

Not me but my lad was awarded his blue belt last night in Taekwondo.

I'm very proud of him. He's stuck at it and really enjoys it now.

[Frankie]

Too much driving, I was in Coleshill again this morning then over to Coventry and Daventry, got in and dozed off lol....
Bloody roads are getting more and more full of selfish people

[Deegee]

Drove from Essex to Yeovil and back and had to tell the customer his own guy screwed the job up. It seems you can't trust someone to pass on a simple message without them trying to look like a hero and screwing it up, all fun and giggles until they get the bill......

P.S. Re selfish drivers - almost got stuffed into the centre Armco by a truck driver yesterday - just because I happened to be alongside him and didn't jam my brakes on as soon as he put his indicator on to pull out. It's gotten a lot worse in 18months imho.

[StMarks]

I suspect it hasn't got substantially worse over the last 18 months, but perhaps 18 months absence from the constantly increasing melee exaggerates the effect.
Pleased that you managed to avoid that, would have made a very nasty snarl up.

[Deegee]

It's not just the increased aggression and lack of patience, it's all the extra speed cameras on the motorways and more frequent snarl ups, it's the far higher amount of roadworks (and cameras), maybe I have been away from the crush, but I'm sure it's worse than it was. I'll just get on with it the same as everyone else I suppose.

[duke63]

The biggest problem on UK roads is there is just too much traffic.

[kiwikrasher]

Trying to knock myself out it seems

Was racing up a flight of stairs in the machinery space of the accommodation rig alongside of us and head first (wearing a hardhat luckily) into a beam above me. Was the weirdest feeling, like I had grabbed hold of an electric fence, shooting pain down both arms and greyed out for a sec, barely managed to stop myself tumbling back down about 3 m of stairwell. Intensely painful pins and needles in my hands for about 2 hrs afterwards. Went straight to the medic who did ops on me for concussion and after some drugs I crashed out on the gurney for a couple of hours. Got released back to work but restricted to my office, not allowed on plant for the rest of the day. Still got pins and needles in my hands but nowhere near as bad as it was. Feel wiped out thou' like I didn't sleep last night. Neck, shoulders and back are pretty sore and tight now.

Just hope I come right by tomorrow or it's a chance they send me home, and I don't have 2 weeks of sick leave up my sleeve!

[Frankie]

I was about to say, "oh yes" looking to get home for Christmas..lol.. Then got to your last line. Get well soon mate, I hope it was just the after shock of the bang on the noggin and all is well today
