I might go to York and see the Flying Scotsman, than meet my mate for a beer or two, then just go home...

I visited wifey cousin - together with his boss and his Nicaraguan bint (she was hot but obvious fake boobs) for dinner - cousin is supervising fitting scrubbers to cruise ships - didn't ask what they were scrubbing - may have been CO2, Sulfur or floors or summat - but the boss had a heavy Welsh accent so was difficult to converse with in a beach bar with a live band playing in the backgroundOriginally posted by Troll View PostJust wasted a few hours trying to find a bar in septicland showing the Ruggers, gave up and went back to the pool. Mulling over a job offer - best rate ever + expenses - will start off 5 days on site, reducing to 3 with 2 days wfh but it's ooop north where they eat babies so may stay put closer to London. Just about to drive to the coast for dinner with wives cousin - who introduced us 30 odd years ago Sunday may go and shoot some guns at a range, rest of the time watching the Trump rollercoaster gather momentum
Living the dream
Went to the range and shot :
one of these

One of these - the 5.56 mm round impressed - didn't like the stock length though

& my favorite - will be good for when the zombies come

First day back in Laaaandon and back ache has returned - may be laptop + books in knapsack on one shoulder not helping

These dudes from northern countries have a habit of planning everything, even the weekends.
At the weekends it's last minute plans. Enjoy life...
Have a nice and lovely weekend.
