Mine are all on electronic/digital. Seems to make it easier for them.

This employer would manage to mess that up.

You too huh? I got a right load of snark from my former employers last time I called about this, apparently it was my fault that the requested payslip didn't arrive...

They don't blame me (at least not yet) but every time I remind them it's the same answer - "Oh you haven't got it? (surprised voice) OK, give us 2 minutes and we will email it to you." Every fekin time.

I also have to remind them to pay my wages. "Oh but we paid you it yesterday! ... Oh we didn't? Really? Oh sorry" blah blah blah. At least I got it next day.

In case anybody has been wondering where @classic33 's avatar has got to over the Christmas period, I discovered yesterday that he's been modelling for a Bristol brewery...

I found it !
Picnic over !
It was in a box of cat food sachets !

Picnic? Pacnic?

Obviously.

I've lost the front piece of my leather saddle !

I didn't want to ask earlier to avoid unnecessary suffering, but how exactly do you lose the front of a saddle? This isn't a poor attempt at humour, I'm genuinely confused.

In other saddle news, my brooks flyer has arrived. Happiness reigns.

Next question: is it wise to put it on the bike ready for a hopefully 100k ride on Wednesday? On the one hand I don't have a Brooks shaped backside, but on the other my last saddle broke in way faster as soon as I started making longer rides. It's also pretty cold right now, so the leather will be harder, but then I'll warm it up as I ride...

Hmm...

Well, of course it was!
Fragrant MrsP and I have been to Oxford today, I needed some Scotch Magic Tape, which I purchased from Ryman’s.

I sat down to read the newspaper an hour ago and ended up having an afternoon nap.

And now you can't find the newspaper.

I'm wondering where is the last place I'd look so that I can look there first !

Is it in the bath?

 

[LeetleGreyCells]

I’ve lost count of the number of shops we’ve been in.

The current one seems to be a clothes shop.

They all seem to look alike after a while.

Had a lovely sunny winters day for once! It won't stay dry for long if this winter is anything to go by!

Hair bobbles, headbands, fluffy pom-poms, fake rings, Minnie Mouse compacts... is there no end to this madness?
