Turns out the aggressive little shit with a deliberately too-loud ipod sat across from me on the train, with his feet on the seat next to me didn't have a ticket after all and just got a 20 quid fine.

Am liking the new 'revenue enforcers' on this line.

Fabulous. Have fun.

We had a night away at the Leeds/Bradford airport Travelodge last weekend.

That's where I wanted to go

We had loads of fun thanks

The deep frozen car is not bu**ered. Phew.

Why might it be buttered?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #2980 on:** 30 November, 2010, 03:28:57 pm »

Or even bummered. There are some funny people around, mind.

clarion · « **Reply #2981 on:** 30 November, 2010, 03:40:38 pm »

Could have been buntered

His motor-car is expecting a ten-bob postal order next week?

I passed my driving test with a perfect score.

Getting back behind the wheel after almost two years has been an interesting experience, though having to take the tests again (licence expired) is one experience I'd rather not repeat.

Valiant · « **Reply #2984 on:** 30 November, 2010, 05:44:38 pm »

Well done. Now how are you with driving big vans full of audio kit?

Andrij · « **Reply #2985 on:** 30 November, 2010, 05:49:13 pm »

As long as I'm driving on the RIGHT side of the road, no problem.

Must get around to picking up a UK licence one of these days...

Well done!

Snow closes work. Back to bed

Argos are selling a Hygena dining table set for £107, inc. P&P, that was on sale for £250 and is the same - more or less - as a set that IKEA sell for £250. Just snapped a set up, but am wondering why it was reduced so much.

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #2989 on:** 02 December, 2010, 03:23:11 pm »

It's got a leg missing?

I haz a job interview on Monday - its only a six week contract but it will tie me over Xmas and New Year. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I got a Bonus today, for the first time ever in my entire career.

I would have been better if I got it back in February along with everyone else, but for various complicated financial reasons some of us didn't, and it's taken a certain amount of moaning and prodding to actually get it, but yay, extra dosh, just in time for Christmas.

woollypigs · « **Reply #2995 on:** 03 December, 2010, 09:36:17 pm »

n+1 ?

He's only just acquired a red bike!

woollypigs · « **Reply #2997 on:** 03 December, 2010, 09:46:33 pm »

There is many more colours out there

Jurek · « **Reply #2998 on:** 03 December, 2010, 09:47:52 pm »

True

Have you been out on the red one yet, Tim?

TimO · « **Reply #2999 on:** 03 December, 2010, 09:54:24 pm »

Actually the red bike was a preemptive n+1 based on getting the bonus.

The snowpocalypse has buggered up all my plans to actually get out on it, although I have all the red bits now.
