  1. From that I assume you are looking for something to do next year (ha)
  2. Got to the office at 7:00, got the wheels on industry going, bragged about superior water basting equipment on Nottstalgia, met with insurance people at 9:00, customer at 11:00, walked 9 holes, sun shining, birds singing (saw a huge hawk), screwed up a par 3 and a par 5, shot a 41 at 15:00, grilled some Mahi Mahi fillets while sampling a little red french number I found at Costco at the weekend at 18:00, at wife’s instance watched an episode of Cold Feet on Britbox at 21:00, went to bed at 22:30 slept like a log.
  3. One of our sites were broken into last week. It always amazes me what mess they make and what risks these people go to to steal so little. I mean how much can you get for nicked coffee?
  4. Serious for a minute, just in case you didn’t know, that Peoples College has an old boys association. I got in touch with them a couple of weeks ago and they posted my info on the web site. I just Google Peoples College Old Boys
  5. In fact it might not be wise to stay for the pint after the acquisition
  6. English was not the common language either, at least not Nottingham english
  7. There was the girls school behind the Cathedral opposite our school. They didn’t want anything to do with us though!
  8. Katy Was he also one of the ones who took pleasure in beating up the first former and burning their caps in the tree stump?
  9. There was a couple (don’t remember their names) down the Woodborough Rd that weren't to healthy either.
  10. Well, we’ve got a Turboblaster
  11. He must be a good guy. Was he in the same class as Bill Brindley I was there from 61 to 65 when it closed Funny how you ended up over here too
  12. Just up the road from my school on College St
  13. Its not the size its how you use it
  14. Some one told me that the Beacon pub on Aspley Lane was where they all would hang out before starting a weekend - I don’t think I ever heard of it and I lived near the bottom of Aspley Lane. When at the Dungeon we would get a door pass and go to the Salutation
  15. OK yours is truck mounted but ours (is bigger - so there) injects grit and max’s out at 40,000 psi. We can cut glass, internal airplane parts, disposable nappies, cream cakes and take paint off the bottoms of supertankers and aircraft carriers. Using the Husky they (not us) reduced the weight if the mirror on the back of the Huddle telescope by 75% without affecting its structural strength
  16. When you say pigs, are you talking hogs? Have they got up to you yet? I agree about the biting insects. Here in the USA you can get some nasty bites of some tiny little things, Brown Recluse, for example. I aways use a tissue to pick em up after I kill - just to be sure.
  17. New York has cockroaches and is a great place to work and visit - not so good to live. Skeg on the other hand used to be something else. My Aunt had a caravan at Ingomills? and i would crash there in the morning after all nighters, better than the beach or the cop shop. Could hear the loud speakers at Butlins.
  18. Having spent my youth at sea, I personally don’t have problem with insects as long as they don’t bite. Its the screaming when a spider or cockroach is seen and jumping on chairs I can’t stand
  19. We have cockroaches that are, no kidding, 2 inches long. We have to have the house sprayed every 3 months and even then they come into the house after the rain. It takes some serious violence to kill em
  20. Houston had a big flood last year and when we lived there in the early 90’s. You should have seen some of the wild life that came to our houses to escape. Snakes, snapping turtles and the scariest rats you’ve ever seen. Google Nutria - imagine hall a dozen of them running at you!
  21. Ian I don’t know enough about guitars or what a basement job is. For me what I’m trying to do is to only work 3 days a week - that hasn’t worked out too well in the sense that I end up working 5 days a week. But I get home about 3 pm, have enough time in the summer to get 9 holes in, ride my bike and / or drink a bunch, fall asleep, get up early and do it all again. Save the weekends for the wife and I’m not in her hair all week. If I keel over a year or 2 earlier than i should so what
  22. I was about to say, nothing wrong with Mexican babes, then opened the web site.
