leeslover Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Speaking of cars - The bad news from last night was that I accidentally cracked my flatmate’s wing mirror last night. The good news is that she is a rank, thieving, gobby cow. And that I did it whilst carrying the last of my things out to go to my new place. And, she doesn’t have a forwarding address. I do feel guilty for the bloke in my local corner shop though. I should have given him a months notice to allow him to adjust his ordering accordingly.

StipeTripe Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 Wouldn't some of them nice scented tea light things work Mads, stick em on the dash board. Nice smell, clear your windscreen and when travelling at night would create a fine ambience. Well its been an incredibly busy week fer me, which in many ways I'm glad about cos on the odd occasion I've surfed in looking at the threads made me nervous just thinking about tomorrow. Thanks to LL too, I noticed a thread about the big flag and you mentioned nikwaxing it to make it a waterproof cover, which reminded me I needed to do me coat which I just done, ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always nice to hear your neighbours threatening each other at top pitch through the wall at half six on a Friday neet,kinda makes you glad your single. Could be a looong night if she gets the baseball bat out again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Phew, I successfully managed not to get a job I applied for. I went for an internal one, but only as part of my scheme to get a pay rise as my only colleague who has a clue what I do is about to leave the firm. Trouble was that I gave a really good interview so I was worried for a while, the job would have involved managing a team of muppets, not for me if I can avoid it. Urgh, people.

Nice to know you are a people person! Just think if you were the boss you could go to meetings all day! You know, meetings about when the next meeting will take place and what happened in the last meeting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimiT Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Well, I finished the 10k. Final time of 57.38. My legs are very, very sore though. Celebrating this (and consoling myself for Saturday) with a load of Guinness tonight, gotta be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inspectormorose Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Did they have a 10k race 20 years ago? Aye Latics organised one,still got my medal upstairs somewhere,in fact it was just over 20 years ago now i think about it.Was working at St Peters House for the Health Authority back when i did it which places it Summer 1986.Everyone in our office volunteered and one by one dropped out except me and another lad who was a runner anyway. Started on Broadway then along into Shaw,piece of cake,then it turned up Rochdale bar steward Road (those of you who know Shaw will know what that means!!).There were wheelchairs overtaking me going uphill.No fecker told me there would be hills involved. Never did one again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StipeTripe Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Congratulations Jimi, lots of guinness has to be done, I agree, and I did too as soon as we got back from lasherland That following wind IM, all your own work ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Rochdale Road, i have seen cars struggle to get up there, including my old one! I know,you would think so but it was billed as a 10k,Latics ahead of their time eh who'd have thought that. Rochdale Rd was a "surprise" i can tell you. Following wind all my own doing Stipe,quite possibly,my training regime consisted of no beer for 4 weeks drinking only Appletize (I am sure i thought it had some sort of mystic isotonic property even before isotonic properties were heard of) and ever lengthening nightly runs but on the flat,didn't make me run faster but i didn't half burp a lot.

Just goes to show how wise the people of Thornham were to put that hill there in the 1920s. Before that the Gawbies could run along the road and arrive fresh for looting and pillage, afterwards they would be exhausted and easily repelled.

leeslover Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Speaking of which, I've been trying to find the best way to walk into work from my new place, there are loads of leafy little alleyways I can go along rather than going down main roads, which is nice. It's a bit tricky matching the reality to the map though. One way I will not be taking again is a road called Steep Hill. There is nothing complex about how it got it's name, five minutes after leaving the house I was panting and drenched in sweat, lovely. There's another one called Water Tower Hill which should be equally direct, maybe I'll try that out tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye gerra bike LL, and the full outfit, luminous lime and pink I think There was a programme on C4 about 6 weeks ago about OCD (dunno if its been mentioned, was it in a separate thread, apologies if so) finally watched it about 2 weeks ago, I’ve been meaning to say something since, eeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww there was a bloke that collected rubbish by night to take home, got his food from what take aways and restaurants had chucked out, but worse of all saved all his no 1's and 2's, the vile minger, in his shed.

I miss the tranmere fans, hope we get them early in the season again.... may actually go back on 606 then, to start a few new battles....! (obviously never neglecting owtb!!) As for walking to work.... on most day i cycle... and have some very glamourous attire...
