I'd caught and overtaken another cyclist on my way to work (I'm on the knockabout bike with lots of clobber in the panniers). He caught me again while I was stopped at the next junction and we had a brief chat culminating with:

Other rider: Do you club ride?

Me: (wondering where this is going) Err, no.

O.R.: You really ought to. Mid Shropshire Wheelers would love to see you!

Me:

We've always said that if you had a light carbon bike then you would be up there with Bradley Wiggins!!

We've always said that if you had a light carbon bike then you would be up there with Bradley Wiggins!!

I don't think I'd go that far. I might manage to keep up with Rob though.

Conversation with my 5 year old daughter

5yo. Daddy?
Me. Yes
5yo. Did you know a triangle has 3 sides?
Me. Yea
5yo. And if you cut a square corner to corner you get 2 triangles?
5yo. Really?
5yo. Yea and if you cut them again you get 2 more triangles
Me. Wow.
5yo. Daddy..
Me. Yes...
5yo. Did you know a hexagon has 6 sides?
Me . Yea.. do you know how many sides an octagon has?
5yo. Eight!
Me. Brilliant. Would you like to be a mathematician when you grow up or an engineer like daddy?
5yo. No daddy I said I wanted to be a ballerina! You never listen to me...

What my wife actually said this morning:

'Dance is an expressive art'.


What my brain heard:

'Dad expressed a fart'.

Mrs Colly went for a shower earlier. Grandson Joshua (2yr 9months) accompanied her to the bathroom and sat chatting while she undressed and had a shower.
You're naked nanny

Yes

You are beautiful.....

Thank you Joshua

....like a hippopotamus.

Err

My company is splitting it's operations, some will stay at the old site, some will be moving to a new circa £20 million site...I'm going to the new site
As a result there will be duplication of some management and staffing, some have already effectively started the process, such as technical where there are now two managers.
Manager 1 the other day...
' Are you staying with us Colin ?'
'No, I'm going good to the new site'
His reaction was a wistful grimace...
'I'll take that as a compliment then '

Today, his equal at the new site saw me...
'Ah Colin, I see you're joining us at....'
'Yep, looking forward to it'
'Good, I'm really really pleased you're coming over'
' Well, It seems you're not the only one interested in where I'm ending up '

I'd like to think it's my wit charm and good looks ....but it's more likely to be the fact I get things done, I might moan and winge but once it's given to me (rightfully)...it will be done.

This morning

The cleaner: you didn't have a holiday last year did you?
Me: yes, August
The cleaner: oh right, were are you going?
Me: no, we went away last year
The cleaner: are you going somewhere nice?
Me: well, yes

She really is hard work at times

A visit to the dentist today, for an appointment I've been waiting 6 weeks for, to replace a filling and piece of broken tooth.

Dentist puts the local anaesthetic into my gum and sits me up for 5 mins whilst it does its stuff.

Dentist-: How is that feeling. It should tingle and then go rubbery.

Me:- Well it's starting to tingle and numb, but doesn't feel that numb yet.

Dentist:- We'll give it a go, just shout if it hurts.

(Starts drilling)

Me:- aaagghhhh (as I almost hit the roof with pain)

Dentist:- that's a little sensitive still then!!

Me:- errr, YES!!

(Add's some more anaesthetic)

Dentist:- how does that feel now.

Me:- not a whole lot different, maybe a bit number.

Dentist:- we've got the majority out, just a little more to go and so we'll give it another try.

(Starts drilling)

Me:- ok for a few seconds and then aaggghhh as he hits the sensitive spot again!!

Dentist:- That's done now, just the amalgam to go in.

Me:-

Thanks goodness I don't have a fear of the dentist and an appointment tomorrow morning to replace a filling and piece of broken tooth!

Oh crap - I do and I do ...

(The past 3 treatments have been pain-free so I hope he continues the good work in the morning!)

Annoyingly I've had 4 fillings in the last two years. Only one due to decay I'm pleased to report. One was a replacement for one that I had done years ago and had a small gap in it, one where I had brushed so hard I had scraped some enammel of the tooth and the last a chipped tooth.

None of which I had anaestetic for. It was offered if I wanted but assured I wouldn't need it. I manned up and said if I don't need it I won't have it.

The death grip I had on the side of the chair whilst drilling at first was white nuckle stuff.

No probs though, didn't feel a thing.

@Salty seadog - you're a much braver man than me, I'd need a barrel load of lignocaine, but the dentist thing has been covered in this thread now so let's get back on-topic with some off-topic daily dialogue ... thanks, Shaun

With just the briefest of mentions of dentistry ...

My stepdaughter had a dental check-up in Todmorden at 10:15 and was due to do some voluntary work in the town at 12:00 so she was going to have time to kill in between. I said that I would treat us both to veggie breakfasts at the local Wetherspoons and met her outside the pub at 10:45.

ColinJ: I did something really stupid when I got up this morning ...

Stepsprog: Oh, what was that?

CJ: I'd had another very late night. I couldn't get to sleep until about 04:00 and then woke up several times. I ended up getting up at 09:00 feeling exhausted.

SS: You poor thing! So what did you do that was stupid?

CJ: I felt really groggy but I remembered that I was coming out to meet you. Unfortunately, I forgot that it was to have a late breakfast with you so I started making a big bowl of porridge!

SS: Ha ha - so you have already had your brekkie?

CJ: No, I remembered in time. I was looking forward to this so I'll eat the porridge tomorrow morning!

Client. I've just had 3 weeks off in Australia and I feel great. Did Sydney harbour bridge and all that..

Me. It's been pretty miserable and wet here, glad you had a great time.

Rita (nurse), pass me a long sharp, pointy painful probe...
