Eye bort the dvd with the first 3 series onnit.

Went off to Backcrackers today expecting W to have gone off to Soto0n re her iPad.
Got home, she was still there. She'd rang to confirm the appt to be told. "No, no record of this, we'll ring Soton, no, they know nothing of this, we'll ring to rearrange at 3 p.m.."
So she made a formal complaint.
Anyways I eventually switched on MY pooter to find an email from them confirming. Sent at 9:45 this a.m. so AFTER I had left anyway.
So she read this too late to be able to go.
BUT we could use Apple's website to rearrange the appt for Friday and leave a strong message about it all.
What a bunch of incompetents?
Why couldn't the burd this a.m. rearrange it, if we could later?
Mad!
Anyway she won all the stuff she wanted at the auction so she is off to pick it up. God does she spend money on jewellery!
If I spent the same on cars I wouldn't be on here cos I wouldn't need help!

When I couldn't get one in France I made one out of a bit of rubber toob, a razor blade and a fat nail.
It works a treat!!!
Otherwise you could always just catch the spurts of fluid in a rag, or a jam jar, but you'd need the wife to help you!!!

Right you are mate, an extra few on your account.

Afternoon folks.

Well not much got done today, We had planned on going out to a nice fancy restaurant as its Ms birthday but as it wasnt sunny enough we wouldnt have been able to sit out on the terrace overlooking the port, so we have postponed it till the next bright sunny day.

So I just stacked the porch with some more wood.
Off to make some coleslaw in a minute to have with roast chick and salad.

Been watching some U-Tube's and my son is a long-term weight-trainer so I know what to avoid.
I used to have a whole lifting cage in my garage with a 100k Lat-Stack on it too. Those were the days.
