Today

[throdgrain]

Today Im at work, as is usual on a saturday.
However, instead of an army of mechanics and sales staff, there is me, and one mechanic, who went on his stag night last night, and is incapable of speech at the moment.
The shop where I work is empty, and in the field opposite there is a steam rally. Here is a picture.

Here

There is so much smoke I cant see the fucking road.
I wont scare away the customers though, because there arnt any
Happy days ...

 

[Deebs]

Hahaha.

Quality.

What do you do on a normal day?

 

[throdgrain]

Sell bikes hopefully mate

Damn the smoke has got even worse now, stinks too. When you think the whole country smelt like this a 100 years ago..

 

[TdC]

arrrrr laddie, have ye perchance dem new-fangled steam-powered bicycles?

 

[throdgrain]

Ive just realised its the Brands Hatch World Superbike round this weekend too, fs

 

[TdC]

oh dear better make it a loooong lunch break then! offer the stag-night mech a pint and watch him turn chartreuse

 

[throdgrain]

Ooo no, no lunch break mate, this aint europe , we dont shut for lunch.
im just HERE, on me todd, ALL day

 

[TdC]

no lunch!! that's just nasty

 

[Chilly]

no, he gets lunch, but he has to eat it off a petrol tank while hes cleaning it. Not like the useless, lazy, ***** we call the french who close at every opportunity, especially when it might actually be busy.

I went to a steam fair once when I was but a tot, and I don't remember any smell other than that of the cow crap I'd stood in, because a farmer's field is a highly logical location for a steam fair...

 

[Mazling]

Hang on, I thought throddy *was* french ... ?

me -> coat -> far away

 

[throdgrain]

no, he gets lunch, but he has to eat it off a petrol tank while hes cleaning it. Not like the useless, lazy, ***** we call the french who close at every opportunity, especially when it might actually be busy.

LMAO, I know, the French cafes who shut for lunch... wtf is all that about??

Mazling, you been listening to Trem too much

 

[TdC]

just to console you all, I'm at work too. 9:00 to 19:00 today. and you know what? of the 30 odd coffeemachines in this building only one is working, and it's nine floors below me in the security lodge :/

I have lunch with me though heehee

 

[Will]

I got a mortgage today. I'm scared I'm getting all grown up. :/

 

[throdgrain]

Piece of piss Will, much cheaper than renting too

 

[babs]

I bought a car \o/

no more Daewoo microwave related jokes for Trem.

Instead now it's a girl's hitlermobile (Polo) :/

 

[Trem]

What would you guys do without me.

I AM YOUR LIFE!!!

I feel really poorly, also at work, also seen no customers, also have the raging shits. I went the toilet not long ago for a trump.......but it wasn't a trump. good fucking job I was prepared and had me trousers down.

I really feel quite ill indeed.

 

[Draylor]

Wayyyyyyyyyy too much info.

Sorry Trem, but Im laughing

 

[Stazbumpa]

I'm on day 6 of 3 weeks off at the mo', no work for me I'm afraid

My mate Kev is feeling much the same as you right now Trem, but according to a text he sent about an hour ago, he was touching cloth at one point.

 

[throdgrain]

3.15 pm, havent sold a bike. its bad

 

[dysfunction]

I dont have to work weekends...

I have a nice comfy 9 to 5 job

 

[Jupitus]

I only just got out of bed *yawns*... better go stock up on beer, methinks

 

[TdC]

*pin Jup's and Dys' nipples together with burning bamboo splinters*



I demand that everyone feel sorry for Throdders and me!! and bring me some of that beer!

 

[throdgrain]

One hour to go! Have sold, err, NO bikes !


Great :/

 

[Mazling]

You should get out to that steam fair and pimp joor rides!!1!/ Lazy bast.

 

[throdgrain]

They're building up to the climax of the event.
YES!
Its the whistle blowing session! Christ I cant wait

 

[Ono]

I think a Saturday lunchtime at Throddy's workplace would be ideal for the next forums meet.

 

[TdC]

in case anyone cares...I'm still at work :/

[highlight]and[/highlight]

I'm on-call

[highlight]which means[/highlight]

if they page me I'm already there! it's like magic! oooh!
