the recovery

[Speicher]

Have you noticed that the Body Shop does not sell any bodies? I prefer birdie soap, as you could guess - Dove Soap.

Is this your last weekend of working Monday to Friday?

Working Monday t Friday???????

IF you mean turning up five times a week then say so, but don't expect the guy to actually do anything.

Quote from SBGG. 'I don't mind coming in five days a week, but the eight hour wait to go home is killing me!'

it was like one of my holidays but not, so i will call it a business trip.

... so full expense account too ?

i went with the 9 point stag antlers as the two bull horns are a bit so last millennium.

Surely 2 bull horns would be a bit too loud - even for an SBGGAG ?

today i broke the garage doors*, a lift, the entry sliding door like you get to go on the tube see photo.


the ones we have are glass, when i try to go through them in the wheel chair a siren goes off and i have to sit there until one of the building operations technicians ** has a look at me on the cctv and manually opens them from the office.

today's half hour holiday, was on the fist floor vomit green wing. how they are not bilious on there i do not know some very nice lumpy jumper people were very helpful opening doors for me and moving the storage containers out of the way*** i snagged three chocolate digestives; the hungry puppy dog look , looking wistfully at the goody's and long silence works every time. people feel they have to fill the silence, if you can arrange# this to happen, at the team stash.

i am waiting for a rough idea on how much it would be to have my motorbike converted to a trike, it is a 1150 bmw so not the lightest of bikes, if it is not economic to have it done i will have to get a ickle 650cc or even a smaller one not exactly my stile.



*they did work until i approached with my key fob thing in the car window, they went half way up and stuck, i tried threatening them with a sound thrashing if they did not open and hitting them with my crutch but they just sat there, until i reversed away and they came all the way back down.

**the longer your job name the lower your pay.
***they had just moved in, so there was no possible way they could have been warned about me

#match speed of wheel chair to intersect with your target so you cut off there progress along side there teams cake/bun/biscuit supply

Glad to see you weren't wasting your time. No riding for me today, I'm taking Lady Byegad to Whitby for Luncheon and then Great Ayton for a Suggits Ice Cream.

 

[markg0vbr]

i believe the Goth weekend is not far off you could hang around for that. long leather coat and platform soled biker boots with black eye liner would just be your stile.

there will be rock brought around on your return i take it? a bag of humbugs for me please, i save them up until Christmas to throw at people in the office when they start saying things like gosh int it festive, i do like the dark nights!

the NHS wheelchair is still conspicuous by its absence; one can get a voucher to go to the local suppler to get one but when i asked about this i was told they had run out of money, i told them i had run out of legs and could i have a IOU to give them off next years budget, the silence was profound and deep.

mean while back in the office all the managers are spending what is left of there budgets before the new tax year, so all the things we needed all year but couldn't have, we can now have. the wheelchair was brought up but the best offer i got was a old skate board found in the yard last week.

No Goths today, we had great day, the weather was positively balmy, you'd have felt right at home Mark. The lunch was very acceptable and we had a lovely ice-cream. They've put a temporary bridge in between the two halves of the pier after they found the one I've been using for 60 years is unsafe. Maybe we can get our SBGG to test it to destruction, all we need is a stormy day and a nice high tide so he falls into the water and not onto the nasty hard rocks under it. Or maybe we should have a vote on the last bit?

 

[markg0vbr]

humbug and lard sir.

the far end of the pier should be left separated so people how suffer from sea sickness can go on a cruse.

i made the call that has put me on the path of converting my motorbike to a trike i have not committed to it as i have to sort out the spec and hopefully see some examples.

 

[markg0vbr]

the sun is out and so am i no work today.

Not counting the weather, no change then, another normal day.

 

[Speicher]

Enjoy the sunshine

i was very tempted to don the mankeeny but as i have not had my spring trim yet it would look like i was ridding with a sheepskin rug stuck to my chest

i went to asda first outing with my blue badge* even though the car park was not full most of the blue badge bays were taken up by the scum of the universe chavs, grrrrr. there is a sign on the wall for giving out £60 fines but they never enforce it. i got a spot as some one was coming out, i did complain at c/s but got the brush off.
*it was like a ikle holiday and very exciting going shopping all by my self now one telling me stop-it and behave

 

[Speicher]

I could tell you to "stop it and behave!" but it would depend wot you were/are doing.

Did you remember the tricky things like your favourite biskits? Not to mention the butter that you like rather than the one every one else likes. I suggest you procure a biskit tin for yourself. No one need then know about your biskit supply (in your bedroom).

I would know about it, and so would Byegad, but I venture to suggest that I may not have a plan to find your secret biskits.

 

[markg0vbr]

i got some reduced plums but no biscuits i forgot and no one reminded me, your rubbish you lot.

and some washing powder so good it cleans your clothes just rubbing them on the box and there was a pretty flower on the front. all the tins were facing the wrong way on the shelves you could not read what was in re daily salt fat ect so spent some time turning them around, i made a smile face with bean tins on the end of a pallet of bags of rice.
got a old lady to pass me some things of the shelves of one isle then put them back when she had gone, as i did not want them but it was a bit of exercise and entertainment for her and i think she got a kick out helping me, i am good like that.
a proper day out and productive, the most fun i have had on a day out in a long time, as the police let me off with a warning and the manager refused to press charges, he says i can go in again and to let them know when i am setting off as every time i go in he will have some of the very nice people who work there go around with me as a sort of entourage and may film it for there staff training fast track thingy.


i came home via the bike shop to talk trike, if i had a big supply of money i could have the front end done as a tadpole tilting trike, but as i don't it will have to be a delta rigid axle with two shock absorbers. a snap on rack for if i go to any of the biker rallys to put the wheel chair on; as they never have a lot of chairs in the entertainment tent and i like to be relaxed while i have my ration of two tins of warm possibly beer.
a good tip is take a stainless steel* tankard and have it on a chain to your belt as the weekend progresses, if you are a drinker and don't mind mixing them, random people will start topping it up for you.

*if in any of the European gatherings with a "healthy " former soviet block contingent please replace with enameld mug as the tend to bring there diy vodka in there petrol tanks and may sent stainless black.
