As an aside, what defines a geek? On a scale of geekiness how bad were you a geek and you owning a Supe, are you trying compensate for a severe lack of a chin.

I met up with some childhood friends and was shocked to see how everybody aged. Half are divorced, suffering illnesses like parkinsons, alzheimers, gout. All except for me. I've discovered the font of everlasting youth.

I haven't been in the work groove for the last 20 months and now I'm on garden leave. I pop into the office to see if my German boss has anything for me to do and if not I leg it home and ponce around in the Supe, then the motorbike, then go off for a 35 mile pedal and later a 9 mile run. Bored ... I can't wait til I get made redundent. 4 more weeks. Big fat cheque. YIPPPEEE!!

Go back and check the road markings on the roundabout and any signs for anything which may override Highway Code. Just outside of Gloucester at the C & G offices, Barnwood, there’s a great roundabout with 3 lanes heading into it. The LH lane is for 1st exit and straight on. The centre lane is for straight on only 2nd exit and the RH lane is for the 3rd exit etc. There’s dings every week where cars in the centre lane sweep across the LH lane traffic to leave on the 1st exit and take out the cars going straight on. It’s a nightmare.

The witness has to be independent so his passengers statement will amount to nothing. However I do agree Rob. There is an element of you at fault. You knew he was there. You should've been in the outside left lane if you were going to leave the roundabout and the other guy should have been on the inside. You have to drive defensively and assume everybody is an idiot. You don't say whether he was indicating to continue round the roundabout. If he wasn't, say so on your statement. Sorry mate I think this is going to be one of those long drawn out ones.

Do you get a staff discount?

I reckon they should get all these paedo kiddie fiddlers and put them into a special law enforcement unit to combat juvenile crime. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] The juvenile crime rate would drop faster than the UK gross domestic product. Gary Glitters gang is definitely one gang they won't want to be in. Then maybe one morning I wouldn't have to nail up my front fence panels.[GRIN][/GRIN]

Yep it was her who had a dump and then carried on to win the London marathon. Joggers trots as it's known. Nasty!

Didn't you hear, there's credit crunch going on. Everybody leaves it to the last minute/seconds on ebay.

I dare you to screech to a halt, leap out and take a few happy snappies, jump back in and storm off. You wouldn't get 100 yrds from either roundabout before MI5 get missile lock on yer.

An imposter!!![sHOCK][/sHOCK]

That's cos I'm busy trying to kill myself on my Triumph Speed Triple. [sHOCK][/sHOCK] Yeah I need to get some more seat time in the Supe.

What a plonker just twigged!! LOL!! That is clever.

BIG LOL!![GRIN][/GRIN] That ugly dipstick is ME!!! It was taken on a charity run back in Feb. Sadly for me I almost died from heat exhaustion.

Flat felt roof. They only last for about 10 years. But you can bodge a temporary repair until you get the job done properly. Go to Wickes or B & Q. Buy a sheet of the roofing felt and a big can of roofing bitumen. Wait for a nice dry day. Slap on the bitumen and then nail on the sheet. It'll do for a while. In the mean time get a quote for a proper job.

Is there going to be a calendar with your mug leering out of the orifice window?

We do have a PC projector up for grabs but it's still being used until end of Sept like most of the other stuff. Stay tuned. LOL!! Done all that. It's a luvverly day today. This morning I was thinking about you lot as I was zipping around Cotswold in the Supe. Is it time to go home yet?

With 6 passengers the Mondeo would have handled like a pig going round all those bends. Very sad for all concerned.

I was behind bars eating a foam Noddy toy. I can remember the taste. Flipping through the family album there's a picture of me about 3 holding onto a half eaten Noddy. Big Ears was nowhere to be seen.

We had all this surplus office furniture, projectors, PCs, IT stuff, etc rescued before they demolished the factory... So I've been selling it on classifieds and ebay. We made £400 and last week invited as many of the old redundant work force to the local Harvester for a subsidised nosh up. 27 people showed up and the total bill was £265. LOL!! Still got loads to sell off.

Yep I get paid £££££ for just 2 hrs a day, 5 days a week for the next 3 months. BORED!! I've polished the Supe until it hurts to look. I've refurbished the wheels. £50 worth of primer, paint, lacquer and 3 days of man power. Quite amazed at the result considering it was £300 to get them done 'properly.' I've registered with zillions of job agencies but everybody wants me to start now and not in Oct 2008. It's a hard life but somebody's got to do it.

We had this Egyptian tennis coach who thought he was He-Man. More like She-Woman. Whatever somebody did he always had to be a weight heavier/a peg lower/pace faster. And did we all know it. Each rep was announced with a GRUNT!!! One day, he was on the free weights lifting the barbell from arms length upto shoulder height. Something must've possessed him cos he started loading it big time. Everybody is watching from the corner of the eyes as he CLANGS and GRUNTS the weights on upwards. Then there's this muffled 'Ooooohh!' and the sound of crashing barbell. The tennis coach is seen clutching his back and holding the railing. Amazingly he picks up the barbell and tries another rep!! 'AAAAARRRGHHHH!!!!!' Gritting his teeth he hobbles off, sweat rolling down his face with each step. Never saw him again.

Bored bored bored. The company I work for is closing down its UK operations and transferring to Germany. This was announced 18 months ago. I was kept on with a few other to transfer projects, info, answer the phone etc until end of Sept 2008. The work has now dried up and there's bugger all left to do. So I've been given garden leave. I pop into the office at 7 am, read a few emails, do whatever needs doing and then go home at 9 am. Believe me after 4 weeks I'm bored stupid cos this weather is rubbish for doing anything!

Lucky bat! Would she have served an eviction notice to the bat if it was hiding in her knickers?

Well you don't need to take it for walkies or have problems with fleas but don't expect it to fetch a stick.
