Peggy's Mundane Thread

'Calpol' is the preferred term nowadays, Iggy.

Watching a poster making a pillock of themselves! 
It is quite entertaining.

Try taking him for a good gallop in the afternoon, tire him out.

That does sound rather heartless.

Dual livered!! You might be onto something there, Knecht. In a pipe-smoking, chin rubbing moment - I wonder if you could double up you organs? You know, 4 lungs to make you run better, play a wind insturment better? Have sex for longer? 4 arms? hell, 6 arms? 2 arses? ......................Nurse.

Meeeeh, I'm going for a run before it starts pissing down for the day, and then I'm doing feck all all day. Because I can!

Recovering from throwing up all night thanks to the lurgy my step children brought with them from Leeds. Northern bugs are evidently tougher....

Good man, Pete. Actually, I have been out for my run already this morning so now the day is mine, and because some tw@t on here is pissing me right off, I'm going for a walk with my doggy and my new camera to clear my head of anger and frustration - I will be nice and calm time I get back. 

Then, I'm going to take a bus ride, yes a bus ride (god knows how long since I have been on a bus - do you pay the inspector still?) into the city and visit the library to get material to peruse over, re historic Plymouth. I may even pop next door to the museum because a friend of mine recommended an exhibition by a local contemporary photographer that sounds very interesting.

How are you going to fill your day, Pete? I Hope what ever you do it's enjoyable.


PS: I think the Cap'n Morgan's Spice Rum is going to get it tonight.

They certainly speak funnier!  Hope you feel better soon MB.

Will spend much of the day playing Railroad Tycoon II, which allows me to run any trains I like anywhere in the world.

For a while this afternoon I was the only person in the office, which is very unusual (but then it is half term). There I was, head down, working away ... and all the lights went out. Apparently I'm supposed to move every so often, otherwise the sensors think there's nobody there.

So, you were asleep?

Surprisingly not, no.

Had me head down working out some complicated sums and stuff, innit.

I was once told by a teacher of when those were installed in their primary school toilets. The system had to be changed in the infants as they had so many littluns sat quietly on the toilet who were terrified when the lights went out.

I once had a senior manager do a test emergency call to about 20 people. She insisted on knowing where I was. When I said I was busy and couldn't tell her she got angry and told me that if I refused I would be given a disciplinary warning.

I told her that I was in the toilet having a 'poo'.

All I heard was a 'click' and a lot of laughing from the others on the phone.

The emergency test did not go ahead that day.

Every time I saw her after that she always blushed and I never did an emergency drill with her in charge. It was always someone else in my role!  

Mmmmmm .... Somerset goats cheese going a bit over - so eaten fairly straight from the fridge to take the edge off the bite - with crackers and a glass of French chardonnay (which went vary well with the earlier bream, which I had a money-off coupon for). Ansum.

Reminiscing with my daughter about Halloween nights gone by and recalling the time we knocked on Mickey Evans door and all he could rustle up was a black banana and a bruised apple

Used the park and ride today. My bus pass - which only costs £40 a month and lets me go everywhere - is valid on it.

Which reminds me: yesterday I was chatting to a neighbour at the bus stop when I saw my bus in the distance and started fishing around in my bag for said bus pass, which I produced with a sigh of relief (and a minor flourish). A stranger, also standing at the bus stop, informed me that it was 'a bit early'. It was only after I'd got onto the bus (and shown my pass to the driver, and sat down) that I realised that stranger wasn't talking about the bus being a bit early, but informing me that it was a bit early to use a retired person's bus pass.

Cheeky melt. You'd have thought the work clothes and briefcasey thing would have given it away.

Clearly you are at work far too early to see all of the senior people with their briefcasey things catching buses all over the City. The place is awash with them after 9.30am. Busy people following retirement.

Saw Luke McCormick in Morrisons this afternoon.

You can save a lot in there.

PIR operated lights have caused some serious issues in electrical power distribution rooms where engineers working on switchgear unseen by the detector have been plunged into darkness working on live systems. There are new fittings which cleverly dim from full power to a safety light level over 5 minutes and staying there for another five minutes giving time for said engineer to do the waving hand dance.

Quiet day off before tomorrow's excitement. All dayer taking in egg chasing
