By way of an experiment

[Old Greg]

that's good that.
how many babies are the OG ?

Two girls, one just 4 and one 16 months.

Some of the old time contractors sneer at me for being part time rather than staying away all week. But they know I'm right.

No. It's because you're a twat, but if you'd like to believe it's because you're part time than that's OK with us.

You daft bugger.

You daft bugger.

Stop it both of you.

You are doing the right thing. My eldest turned 8 yesterday.

It seems like yesterday I could sit him on the palm of my hand.

picked up me new car today.

I was fiddling about with the controls on the wheel, when the engine started


if I had been in gear, I would have ploughed through the garage door.


maybe I am getting too old. I used to like it in the olden days, when the engine started when you fckng wanted it to fckng start

I had the opposite problem today. My car's got one of those transponder things where you keep it in your bag, and it's meant to allow you to unlock the doors just by touching them and start the engine by pushing a button. Not today, though. It picked the day I was trying to secure a gig to play up and have a flat battery.

It left me standing there with my house keys, lappy, etc, like an eejit touching the door and trying to get it to unlock. In the end, I had to put my stuff on the floor, and use the physical key that's provided as backup, which was located at the bottom of my bag.

It was at that juncture I realised that I'd somehow lost my house keys. Cue 15 minutes of looking for them and re-tracing my steps (both of them) since I'd last clapped eyes on the bloody things. I eventually spotted them in the grassy verge next to the car, where they'd slipped as I was trying to dig out my car key.

Why is it when you really need to be on time that sh1t always happens? Still, at least I got the gig. In fact, there's a lesson in that; I've been mildly late for about four gigs in total, and got them all. I'm sure a psychologist could provide some rational explanation as to why being late (but not too late) works as a technique for getting clients to warm to you.

You sound female, and blonde. Am I right?

I'm good you know.

that's stupid.
You would need to conduct a controlled experiment that included arriving early, arriving on time and arriving mildly late.
you would probbly have to invent a further category of arriving mildly on time.
By the time you had conducted the experiment you would be old grey and saggy. And that's without taking all the counfounding variables into effect.
I mean the experiment, not you becoming old grey and saggy


anyway, you may like it, but I dont like my engine being started by fiddling with my button
