Not a day to be repeated in a hurry

 Me, the bitch and two likely lads of Mr Reliable Removals

home sweet home

A slightly stressy day

Mr Reliable were an hour late (due to traffic)

and it rained all day.

Loaded and off by 1.45pm we then got a phone call in the car at 4.00pm  to say the funds had not been transferred by the solicitors bank.

 Loyds TSB that had nationwide problems.

We could not get a regular signal on the mobile in the car.

At 4.45pm we were granted a licence to move in with permission 

of the property owner.

We arrive at 5pm we arrive and so do the agents with Keys, thank fuck.

No Removal Trucks in sight.

The luton van with the bitch on board arrives at 5.30pm

fortunately the guys had picked up another mate on route to help unload.

At 6.00 pm th big truck arrives and we are all unloaded by 8.30pm.

Still pissing down with rain.

Then at 9.00 pm Mrs Arcadian and I walked down to the local pub and had

a few drinks.

Pheeeeewwwwwwwww.

I finally succumbed to the siren call...

Orford, Suffolk

So the bags are packed, the bitch, the dogs and mrs arcadian 

are off tomorrow morning for good.

They tell me there is free wifi in the local so catch you all later.

and remember...

a Shovel is not just for Christmas

Beer is best

its my birthday and I'll ride if I want to...

now we've got 89 years between us...

Bugger.

Newlands corner, strangely devoid of choppers - or other bikes

'Fuck I've got no cash on me for a cup of tea!'

I got off Christine, not realising I'd voiced my thoughts out loud

And this chap in the van said 'here you go mate' and gave me two quid.

And then this other bloke came up, asked if he could take a picture of Christine 

and told me how much he liked my bike.

Its not all bad.

I had two cups of tea too.

why does it hurt when I pee...

my rocker screws are always weeping, no matter what I try

 it may be because the brass oil kit flows too much oil

brass and steel fittings can be a problem, I managed to cross thread this one

 

 and a half hour job turned into two hours...

lucky bastard
