A good run on the cross trainer each morning has meant that I can fit into my trousers again!! WooHoo! Just need to keep this up and there are murmurs of the "Return of the Six Pack" which was to be disputed as insulation is more important!

One who forgives an affront fosters friendship, but one who dwells on disputes will alienate a friend.

Last nights Thunder storm. Couple of proper sky splitters as well.

Sat in the pub the other night reminiscing over the 'good ol' days' and being reminded of a one of the best office pranks I've seen.

Bloke went on three weeks annual leave. In his absence his work mate sprinkled cress seed in his keyboard and diligently sprayed it with water every other day until, when the victim returned, his keyboard was totally covered in a green carpet of cress.

Genius.

I've just run one at our Romanian office. Their connection cost about £30 a month.

When I were a lad I had a summer job at IBMs big site at North Harbour in Portsmouth over the summer break in 2003 (my Mum and Dad were both life long IBMers).

I remember being amazed that the Internet there was more than 1.5 Mbps. :D

Dropped an invoice off at the other side of town and took the pup (well, 20 weeks old now) in the van so I could take him for a walk afterwards.
The good part? Driving home after the walk and he's on the double passenger seat next to me fairly sleepy and every once in a while just nuzzling my arm. It's the little things that make a day

I'm sitting here giggling mostly!! I'm also a bit grumpy as my coffee machine has worked out how to make the coffee bit unscrew - messy and annoying!!

But, I got chatted up last night! I generally don't notice if a guy is chatting me up - I figure he is just chatting/being friendly/being nice. I've been told often that I've missed someone chatting me up :roll:

Anyway - yesterday I picked up an order from a food depot in the valley and the guy that was sorting it and I were chatting. And they have loads of out of date frozen food, so I was being offered lots of 'spare' food (I need a bigger freezer!!). The conversation got a bit smutty when sausages were mentioned but he seemed to get embarrassed so we moved on to other silly stuff, less smutty

He messaged me last night with some info I'd asked for and we spent the night chatting on messenger.


Was a bit weird that he thought "I would chew guys like him for breakfast" :o :o :o Not sure what that means or why he would think that :lol: :lol: But hey - dinner date on! :lol: :lol:
