Would you translate that for me please

I read that as he was doing a chick in Manchester.

Good morning from London, just heading off for the journey back to Poole. Son has underfloor heating in the bathroom, it's quite pleasant, I can see the attraction of heating that way, if your feet are toasty your body tends to feel warmer.
Had a great time visiting family, we're already planning a visit to Brum in February to catch up with more siblings.

Well that's ok then, although you have to be careful if she is a Manc.

True - I think I lost a job in Manchester
They commented that one of the advantages would be working in an office that looked out onto Old Trafford
I replied that that was brilliant and maybe I could get a tax discount for missionary work

They didn;t laugh the way I was hoping!

A job where a fringe benefit was football related would be the job I'd very quickly decline.

Only 306 days until it's Haloween!

You seem to have somehow got football mixed up with Man United

He has somehow managed to go from the frozen North to living in the South
and missed out the bits in the middle

you can't expect much in the way of knowledge of civilised behaviour really

Chatting to 8yo granddaughter over Christmas, didn't realise that she'd been with mummy to Stonehenge for the winter equinox. Evidently there were thousands there, shuttle buses running ( and a lot of people drumming ). Avebury is closer and a lot more open.

One of our group was not riding yesterday. His wife suffered a mild stroke on Christmas day. Her speech is fine and no other major problems were diagnosed.
The general consensus of those on the ride was that if Libby was tucked up safely in hospital why wasn't he on the ride!

Seriously?
