    Apologies, I was a bit of a tit last night, not even three pints - can't use the spiked excuse cos I saw them all poured! Dodgy sausage?

    Had loads more in Brussels last week and managed to post reasonably nicely!

      Why not just take a slab of Special Brew and drink it at the bus stop with them?

        I was due to be on the bench next week, but it looks like The Agents have other plans. Do they get Xmas bonus or something

            The bendibuses were brought in instead of the Trams, WorstBus said they'd be cheaper and work better. They don't. We call 'em 'Purple Slugs'....

            Think we're still getting the Trolleybus system tho I think...
            London got rid of the bendibuses, cos they were a traffic nightmare, think they sold them to some bus company near Leeds.
            Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

                I wanted to get back to Zurich, but that is not happening at the moment.

Also need some testers from Halifax to make sure the system works end-to-end. Doing UAT today, pen testing tomorrow with some strangers from Rodley and volume testing on my brothers stag do next week.
                  Does that pub on the canal at Rodley still do a decent pint of Tetley's?


                  P.S. How are the treacle mines doing?

                    Tetleys! Carlsberg closed that down years ago... I believe they brew something in Northampton* which masquerades as the same thing. It isn't though.

                    * - i'll admit it might be some other place in the general geographic region of 'down south'.

                      1. Got up at 9:30 - late for me normally up at 6:30 weekdays...

                      2. tulip, shower, no shave, going stubbly, read a book while dumping...

                      3. Watched Jeremy Kyle - some impressively poor teeth on show this morning

                      4. Watching some old UK Border Force eps on 'puter to cheer myself up after the Abu Qatada thing.

                      5. Grilling a full pack of Turkey Rashers for late brekky.

                      Later I shall;

                      6. Take the new bendibus (free wifi onboard!) to Leeds City centre to meet an ex-colleague (not benched) and visit the German Market and gorge on Helles and Käserwurst....

                      7. Retire to sports bar to watch England

                      8. Bendibus home the worse for wear...

                      9. Catch up with Corrie!

                      Perfect, not ready for any work yet....

                      I'd ask for timestamps for each event, but you tosspot probably don't have to bother with such arcane concepts as time.

                      After nearly 8 months of grafting with but a week off, I am MUNDO jealous. But I got a flight booked on the 27th, leaving on a jetplane, may not be back in Blighty for 3 months, so f**cking there!!
