Not looking forward to the week ahead

Get one of these jim that should sort the problem out..

Reece? Isn't he illiterate?

Jimbuna · 03-20-17, 07:45 AM

The boy is coming around at about 17:00 so we can celebrate the Christmas Day he wasn't able to with being at sea.

Five minutes ago he rang his mam (12:35) and asked "What would you and dad like for christmas?"

Had one for years, just too lazy to use it at the present.

Plasterer is coming to skim a couple of ceilings on Wednesday so I'm reckoning on an eighteen hour stint with the steamer tomorrow

This i have to see..

Plasterer is due 08:30 tomorrow so he can answer the door when the Black Buck Vulcan lands because I'll be taking the boss lady to work.

He has to earn his money in the Buna household.

My 7 year old 40" Samsung went out today (I use it for everything TV, Xbox, PC and vga notebook too) ... I pushed everything you could push, I clicked the remote control, I changed the batteries and then I changed the power cord, but still no power. Then I tried a heavy duty power cord I had for a pressure cooker and wham it came on with that silly little ring tone tune.

Boy was I happy so I just ordered a 32" no brand name TV for a back up just in case it happens again. Very hard to find a new TV with VGA now days.

Now I can use it for a security monitor too

The house is a veritable mess with artex everywhere and plaster has yet to be applied.

The dog is sulking in the conservatory despite the fact there are treats and water available and the heating is on (still not warm here in the UK).

The diecast models have arrived so it's not all doom and gloom....that can wait until the wife returns from work and has to clear up the mess!!

Aktungbby · 03-23-17, 12:45 PM

Rough night in Jericho! No sooner had i finished my In & Out burger and a vodka gimlet....I got summoned to San Francisco to do a security job!!!

Right in the middle of the US vs Puerto Rico World baseball final game featuring Brandon Crawford and Angel Pagan: both of the SF Giants! US won 8-0!

A nasty accident involving both directions on I-80 shut down everything for an added hour of commute-backed up for ten miles at least!. The job turned out to be an ATM new-install with carpenters. Eight hours total... down from some that take 20 hours. This carpenter was good. Someone allegedly reported 'unusual activity' at the bank (in the notorious Sunnydale district-hookers, drunks, and homeless ) So around midnight, sudden-like: a SWAT team of SF's finest shows up: 4 squad cars: 8 gendarmes: one armed with an M-16 even!

I was polite and asked if their body cameras were turned on... "So I could die gloriously". (they weren't.

) They all looked like overeager kids to me; indeed one was on his first night as a probation-trainee. Nice to be used for practice!

Mollified after seeing real sawdust on the sidewalk (street-smarts 101: bad guys don't do sawdust

) they turned their attention to a homeless sleeper on the sidewalk up the block, and departed w/o further ado. I got home by 03:30; made the coffee for spouse; crashed; and then up again at 08:00 to let in the house-keeper.

Good thing old guys don't need much sleep.....EDIT: my boss just called to apologize; he was unaware it was a lengthy install; usually reserved for construction-site guards (who R cheaper.)

After a nice week of false Spring it's snowing again.

Reports coming in from BBC Look North a middle age man wearing a baseball cap bolted out his front door faster than a fart being expelled from a hippo seconds before his wife turned up.

Quite night at work and was able to get out early just as well my pain levels are not good. Friday looks like it may be a later one just hope i can hold up.

Cost me a Chinese takeaway, the poor lass was knackered after clearing up.

Hope your lot improves.

What no beer?..Oh wait it was not a curry.

Keep the wife happy for a quiet life.

Late end and thats a rap now rest up to lower my pain levels. Off to see the GP in two weeks time, so much to the government saying waiting times are down. Well if they think waiting near on four weeks is alright i suggest they re-check their claims.
