Nobody cares.
Lot of people who played hurling play golf.
Not much of a comparison... Hurling (just like Shinty) is basically a mass brawl where everyone is armed with a stick and some twat tries to calm things down by chucking an overgrown cricket ball onto the field.

Golf is basically croquet, but with a bigger garden.

Apologies if sucking eggs….do you use your local providers app? Our fares are less than half price compared to paying on board.

Set up two new iPhones. So easy.

Thought about submitting the business accounts online. I didn’t.

Cut the grass.

Had the leftover curry from yesterday for dinner. Always tastes even better day two.

Mrs B has hurt her back so I’m sitting here waiting for the grocery delivery (they don’t have any milk!) to be followed by a visit to the supermarket to be followed by sorting it all out to be followed by deliveries to the mother in law and finally my mum. I will be rewarded with a bun and coffee at the final stop.

I took my sister to get her car fixed, and when we left her house we saw several sheep loose on the road, she lives out in the country. So she placed a post on her local Facebook page.
She got a question back - what do they look like?

so I said to post - they’re very cute with long eyelashes :risas3:

she did.

Tuesday and yesterday, spent the day on a 160,000 tonne bulk carrier in Port Talbot. Good to be back on a ship again and opposing surveyor was an old mate of mine from when we both lived and worked in Singapore. Anyhoo, no way was I taking my Panzer to Port Toilet so I availed myself of a work van, 15 year old Astra van with 127,000 miles on the clock. Could've been much worse, could've been a Dishrag.

I always look at Port Talbot in awe as I go past…can it possibly as horrible as it looks from the motorway?

I've never driven a Vauxhall that I've enjoyed but anything was better than taking my Panzer to Port Toilet. I'd rather walk than drive a Dishcloth though but that's another story.

It's worse. I don't know what possesses people to live there! Hang your nice white sheets on the line after washing them and you bring them in dry but brown. The dust from the iron ore fines and coal cargoes is horrendous and it gets everywhere. And I mean everywhere!

When I was a government surveyor, we used to take hire cars down to any job in Port Toilet. It all stemmed from one of the boys cleaning his car the evening after a trip to PT; his pressure washer lifted a flap of paint off the bumper. And no, it wasn't a crap car either, it was a three year old Golf estate.

You’ve obviously never driven a Duster, joking aside a few years ago I had a ride in the back of one & wasn’t impressed, last year a friend bought one & I was impressed at how much they’d improved, normally I’m indifferent to driving & just see it as a necessity for getting from a to b, I actually enjoy driving the Duster.
