Another MoT failure Sad This time it's the old Skoda. One of the rear tyres was starting to come apart but only on the inside where you can't see it! Tread-wise it was actually pretty good. My MoT place also does tyres so could fit a new one and retest straight away which was nice.

Totally unbidden the mechanic wheeled the faulty tyre into the waiting room to show me the state of it so next time someone says "this tyre is perished" I won't take the advice so likely lightly Smile

Been outdoors for the last three days doing ‘stuff’.
Now in the warm and just finished a very tasty lamb chop dinner.

Warm and satisfied Pepperami is warm and satisfied Thumbs Up

Transported some heavy posts I cut to size from skip salvage on my designated allotment bicycle, so I could support my raspberry canes with wire.

Bike looks like an absolute wreck, but works fine Laughing

Electricity progress has been made to the ‘Pepperami Shed Of Bike Death’
The Cable from the ring main in the house to the shed has been buried and is ready for connection.
The trench is filled in.
And as a bonus, I’m getting lights put up in the garage at a very good price.

I love pissing the two dickheads off in work, petty stuff, but it's fun. Things like sending the lift up to another floor when I come in so that it takes them a few minutes longer to get out of work, leaving sarcastic notes in the handover to show them up for the Tarts that they are.

Geared oiled yesterday because the hours and hours of video statements with the police are finally completed. Now I just have to wait a bit until the police make arrests, do the interviews and then they speak with the crown prosecution service about how to proceed.

Bounce!

Most of it was 'can you show me on this doll when the bad man Nobby touched you'?

Jealous. Can't get a sparkie to come out and do mine for love or anything else. I think it's too easy a job for them to bother, I want the certification tho to avoid any issues if insurance has to get involved in the future

Legend has it, they both met up with cable ties and duct tape a few streets away from the Aaronses house, with the intent to kidnap and extort him to return the funds to those gullible investors. However Aaronses had bought off the local feds, and they tipped him off.

Cansa knocked on the front door, borg went around the back (as we had all suspected he would), but when Aaronses answered wearing his mother's clothes, with a kitchen knife truck taped to his hand, Cansa (sensibly) ran off, leaving borg standing alone and unprepared in the kitchen. Borg, not wanting to get stabbed, had no choice but to hide in the pantry and formulate plans c and d, knowing their original fallback rendezvous point had been compromised.

Two days later, his phone signal went dead, presumably through lack of charging. Cansa by now had been caught by the feds, upon hearing his scouse accent they stereotyped him as a criminal, and put him in the chokey on made up charges.

TSK tried to plea bargain his sentence down, but they denied he had ever been arrested, they shut her down on the spot and threatened to investigate her offshore antics. Ste had to photoshop her a new passport in order to get her out of the country, the photo was taken from his search history, so you can only imagine the shock on the face of the airport staff.

Borg is still MIA, we believe he's camouflaged himself as a wholesale Batchelor's instant soup bulk pack, airsoft cocked and ready to unload in the Aaronses face, if he ever opens the pantry door.

Borg is completely unaware of Coronavirus, he's unmasked, unvaxxed and will readily die for the rights of BCF investors. One day he may return, but he'll never be able to speak about any of it, as those who are 'tactical' cannot reveal techniques, or even unleash tiny hints of their methods for fear of bringing down society with this deadly information.

Or so legend says...

Today, still wanted by the Feds, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the B&C-Team.

Now officially on my hols. Ate a pizza and a whole bottle of prosecco to myself and moved onto the pale ale in the fridge... not enjoying the latter so much as apparently it was brewed in a "carbon negative brewery" Puke

My new-boss-to-be emailed a bunch of people to tell them I was starting in January.

It's like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Even though H.R. haven't got their shit together to send me the contract, in his head, I'm definitely going to be there after Christmas.

I need to get over this Imposter Syndrome shite Cool

Made a "winter garden" today. Or in other words, I've arranged some plants so that I can see them through the kitchen window, and inside the kitchen too. But this time of year can be a bit grim, specially once Xmas is over and the lights come down, and I got a few house plants too.

It is not much but I like it. Trip to the garden centre yesterday to buy a few more plants Thumbs Up

yeah, I get that a lot, it's why I'm self-employed I think

I once ran a dept. where everyone but me had a degree, I left school with 2 grade C GCSE's

The things I am good at I am good at, but before I do them I worry I'm not.. Then when I'm doing it, I'm pretty awesome, then when I've finished, I go home and worry I didn't do it right.
