Bikerchickett
19-06-2007, 19:29
Glad you managed to stay dry Von.

Interview was not very good... so i don't really hold out any hope.. i am trying to consider what other options i have now.

von41
19-06-2007, 19:57
Ho Dear... not what i was expecting for you..

keep at them until you get a result and stay positive..

Don't let them get to ya..

mean time look at other employment in your field of work.. put the feelers out.. you never know always something crops up when you least expect it.

Bikerchickett
19-06-2007, 20:05
Ta Von. i'll do my best :)

von41
19-06-2007, 21:19

Bikerchickett
19-06-2007, 21:31
of that I'm sure.. :)

Yep, Kidderminster is nice, but i dont do travelling in the ice, so the MR2 would have to go if i stay there.... I don't think i will end up having any choice where i go.

von41
19-06-2007, 22:13
well you have 5 to 6 months before ICE time comes around!! and the way the weathers going maybe longer..

you never know something unexpected may come along... :)

von41
21-06-2007, 20:15

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 20:28
Tee hee.... i dunno !!!!!!

von41
21-06-2007, 20:38
Aha!

different Health authority.. :)

still makes you wonder why though ?

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 20:43
yes it does... very strange !!

I have to take my BP twice a day on a machine they have lent me !

von41
21-06-2007, 20:48
you must be private Health care.. mine NHS care wouldn't give me a plaster ;)

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 20:53
Nope just the local NHS doctors surgery :)

von41
21-06-2007, 21:00
cool... and a BP machine for your own use.. :)

mind i would prolly miss use mine.. and knock my self out.. ;)

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 21:16
I have to take it back in a week and a half... i have managed to take it once so far.... and strangely enough it was a bit lower than when i was at the docs !!

von41
21-06-2007, 21:21
erm well i think it would be.. see you are relaxed at home..

go for a walk around the block and then take it... see would be like a walk to the doc's.. that will push it up a tad...:)

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 21:23
I'll maybe try before i go to the blood place and when i get back (i'm walking there)!!

S1OPP
21-06-2007, 21:30
Evening,

it's the stress of being at the Dr's that put's your BP up.

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 21:31
Hi Sloppy... the Nurse said it could be that too, but it was like it both visits..

I'll just have to keep my log and see how it goes :)

S1OPP
21-06-2007, 21:40
I'm always told my BP is a little high, but when I do it myself it's ok.

That's why they send the monitors home.

Bikerchickett
21-06-2007, 21:44
Oh well fingers crossed... and i did take straight after i got home from work...

von41
21-06-2007, 21:47
mind being ignored by the receptionist.. (who is always talking to the other one about what she did last night)... will push my BP up a tad.. ;)

von41
23-06-2007, 18:17

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 18:19

von41
23-06-2007, 18:59

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 19:01
I have a makeshift birdbath !

Unfortunately its mainly pigeons around here, they tend to keep most of the other birds away :(

von41
23-06-2007, 19:18
Ha! Ha! pigeons.. we got some very large ones here, they mix in quite well with the.. tits, sparrows, starlings, thrushes, blackbirds, wagtails, robins, squirrels.. yep squirrels do get the odd visit (buggers) even the local Heron nipped in ounce... then in dusk time.. swifts, swallows, bats.. they will be around shortly... :)

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 19:21
Lucky you ... i get the occasional sparrow and i saw a robin once !

And i did see a squirrel today in the carpark bit at the end of the cul de sac :D

von41
23-06-2007, 19:31
lucky.. hmm.. i don't have a garden :(.. but over my back wall is loads of trees all different types.. is them that attracts the birds + the food supply i leave out for them..

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 19:35

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 19:57

von41
23-06-2007, 20:32
Ho well least you had it for while.. same as that stuff you lob in a dish dried flowers etc.. don't last.. :(

Bikerchickett

Bikerchickett

von41
23-06-2007, 22:35
Ha! Ha!.. oki koki.... in 'n' out.. mind I'm having trouble tonight with internet...

think NTL/virgin are at it again.. they have been pissing about all day :mad:

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 22:39
Grrrrr not good...

I have BT... cant complain !

von41
23-06-2007, 22:52
yes optic cable is supposed to be best and the fastest... but NTL keep twating about with the network.. something to do with pirate boxers.. each time they send a spike down the line to knock them pirate boxers out.. they bugger up my Internet un tv.. and have just found out today that they are now going to charge 25p a minute to phone them up to complain about tv & Internet disruption :mad:

well if they do.. I'll just cancel the DD.. and rip the lot out and go elsewhere :)

Bikerchickett
23-06-2007, 23:04
That is absolutely crap... I cant complain about BT (touch wood).. bit expensive but overall reliable.

von41
23-06-2007, 23:39
yer.. remember the last time.. phoned the help line.. got this foreigner on "India" i think.. had a chat as you do.. then the bugger put me on hold...
15 minutes i was on hold.. then the phone went dead.. so phoned back.. this time i said if you put me on hold or the line gos dead.. I'm stopping the DD and going to pull the lot out and you can send your engineer to pick your stuff up on the street.. cause that's where he'll find it (i had a pulse that night) just like magic 10 minutes all was back on.. just needed to reboot me set box..

still don't get why we need to phone India to solve a problem in UK ? :confused:

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 10:14
Its cheaper labour costs in India :(

von41
24-06-2007, 19:25

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 21:13
T has been very busy... i only did a very little bit... oh and the number plate !!

von41
24-06-2007, 21:25
very catchy it is to.. :)

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 21:31
The original plate was BCH !

von41
24-06-2007, 21:43
Aha ..the original prefix... still catchy though.. :)

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 21:50
we tried doctoring the plate by inserting IT, but it did not look right!

von41
24-06-2007, 22:08
B1 TCH... looks cool.. :)

a 1964 number

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 22:10
I tried anyway !!!!

A smaller paintbrush would have helped though !

von41
24-06-2007, 22:35
the good bit about paint... you can paint over it and do it again or even get a plate made up.. even do cool art work have it printed and stick it on plate.. or sticky back vinul painted then stuck on.. :)

Bikerchickett
24-06-2007, 22:38
It is sticky back plastic stuff that i painted on using radiator paint !!!!

von41
24-06-2007, 22:57

von41
28-06-2007, 20:20

Evening Folks..

Had me a nice wet day at work Today..

it's been raining since 07.00 Here Today.. Mind it did stop around 15.00 so i went home and took Dog out.. we did get back Before it started again (just Mind)..

Got me a new pal at work.. a racing pigeon Have called it ( Malc ).. got a phone call.. (can you come get this bird off shop floor) it's causing a disturbance with the factory workers... it just walked in.. so took it out and let it go.. But the Bugger came back in later.. so i fed it some bread and let it stay in the factory over night :)... the morning shift shoved it out the next Day.... when i got to work it was wondering around the yard.. so i left it alone.. it would be safe there.. but in the after noon it was wondering out side the gates on the road.. The girls off the morning shift asked me to do something about it as the kids will be coming home from school soon !!!

so i cornered it in reception and picked it up and took it around the back of the works and placed it in the disused warehouse (where the other pigeons roost) gave food & water and left it....
(yesterday).. the next morning i took some bird seed in with me..

not expecting (Malc) to be there..

well he was.. you should have seen him tuck into the seed & water even took some from my hand.. (i know i shouldn't feed the poor bugger) but without my help he'd be dead now !!
today when i went into the warehouse he was up in the roof.. so i just left the seed & water.. and had a look in later to see him tucking into his food.. from a distance...

(must ween him from Human contact...)

before i left i had another look in on him..
he is sat up in the roof with another pigeon..

hopefully the other pigeons will show him how to fend for himself... and stay away from none friendly Humans..

on a good note.. least he is strong enough to get off the floor now!! :)

Bikerchickett
30-06-2007, 20:57
Awww well done Von... you are a star, bet Malc is very grateful, lets hope the other pigeons teach him well :D

Bikerchickett
30-06-2007, 20:57
Ohhh evening BTW !!!

von41
30-06-2007, 21:26
evening Mand..

yes a pigeon who walks every were and shows no fear of man/woman is going to get into trouble or dead.. and if he knows whats best for him he'll not go home ether.. was going to phone up the racing pigeon club.. and give the ring number's on his legs.. but remembered that they NECK!! them for not getting home..

it's obvious that this pigeon was to tiered and to weak to get home.. I'll just keep feeding & watering him till he no longer needs my help..

mind if the boss finds out what i've been up to... he'll chew my nuts off :eek:

von41
30-06-2007, 21:33
Ho how did your Holiday go...

you have a good time ?

are you home now ?

are you well rested ?

"now breath ;)"

Bikerchickett
30-06-2007, 21:39
They dont do that do they ??? Thats horrid :(

Keep looking after him.... carefully

Bikerchickett
30-06-2007, 21:44
Holiday was great thank you.

Yes i did have a good time... the day at the seaside was nice.

yes home now... decided weather looked better today than tomorrow, but it still took me 3/4 hour longer to get home and that was without a stop.... :(

Have chilled out a bit now thanks to a few glasses of red !

And next weekend .... i'll be ready when i have charged camera batteries and repacked my bags !

Are you all sorted ?

von41
30-06-2007, 21:52
They dont do that do they ??? Thats horrid :(

Keep looking after him.... carefully

Ho yes that is exactly what they do.. unless they have paid a lot of money for them... which would mean that they would only use them for breeding.. both ways would mean that it's flying days are over :(

Bikerchickett
30-06-2007, 21:57

Evening Folks...

Well My day has turned to shit :mad:

on my return to work from picking the Bike up this Morning... i was met by my supervisor..
He said Have you checked on Malk (pigeon) this Morning ?..

i said no I'm going to feed him now..

he said he is dead !!

i said you are joking !! He was fine yesterday afternoon at 15.00..

well He's over there he said..

i had a look and sure enough there was a dead pigeon :(
I'm not 100% that it is him ?,

reason why..

1.. malk had a white sear above his beak..
this one had a gray one.. and looked like it had been there longer that a few hours..

2, malk has been in and around the back of the works for the past 3 days and not moved from his safe new habitat..

TBH.. i feel that my supervisor has had a hand in this.. in some way.. and if he has the hole factory will know cause I'm going to tell them.. and he'll pay for his crime!!!

DAYLY!!

I hope it isn't Malk :(

Did this one have a ring on ?

I hope it isn't Malk :(

Did this one have a ring on ?


yes two rings one on each leg just like malk..

i have a horrible feeling that my supervisor and his gun dog had a nip in yesterday evening and his dog has had malk.. probably not on purpose but i have a feeling.. I'll find out more tomorrow..

Bikerchickett
01-07-2007, 19:28
Oh dear.... i'll keep my fingers crossed.

von41
01-07-2007, 19:54
i did put seed down this morning.. and popped in around 4 ish..this afternoon the seed has gone.. but i could not see malk.. see he's been walking everywhere for the past 4 days.. he can fly.. just find it odd that a dog would get so close to him.. unless he didn't see it as a threat ?

Does seem rather strange.... not easy for a dog to catch a pigeon at the best of times.

Pigeon would have have puncture marks from said dogs teeth.
Racing pigeon eh, should get in touch with the racing pigeons federation with Ring numbers, possible was someones prize bird' and if said pigeon had not been very active for a few days then its possible it was dying anyway.

von41
01-07-2007, 20:21
truly i find it most odd.. but a dog has been in the disused warehouse where malk was.. cause there is dog mess on the floor... and it most certainly was not there yesterday at 15.00.. and only two people have keys to gain access to the works me and him.. and this is the only reason i suspect him..

i would not like to be in his shoes tomorrow when the women find out what has happened.. they demand daily reports on malk's progress from me.. the shit is going to hit the fan tomorrow :mad:

Hi T


evening Mand..

yes a pigeon who walks every were and shows no fear of man/woman is going to get into trouble or dead.. and if he knows whats best for him he'll not go home ether.. was going to phone up the racing pigeon club.. and give the ring number's on his legs.. but remembered that they NECK!! them for not getting home..

it's obvious that this pigeon was to tiered and to weak to get home.. I'll just keep feeding & watering him till he no longer needs my help..

mind if the boss finds out what i've been up to... he'll chew my nuts off :eek:

Von says they get killed if returned, unless they are very good birds then they may get used for breeding only :(

T firstly.. one of the girls got in touch with said federation.. and was informed that the owner would neck it if returned..

if I'd have found malk dead in the warehouse then yes it is possible he was dying..

i have spent the last 4 days feeding and building up his strength.. to the point of no contact with me.. so he could find his own food and not be so trusting with people.. frankly I'm ashamed of the human race and the depths they will stoop to inflict harm to a harmless critter

Evening Folks..

Well it's official... Malk the pigeon is Dead..
the ring numbers are the ones that was logged by one of the girls.. i have berried Malk at work on canal bank..

i also had a chat with my supervisor !!
he has told me that he had nothing to do with the demise of Malk... TBH.. i Don't believe him.. the evidence i put to him he had no answers for.... like how did Dog poo get in the disused warehouse..... and the location were Malk was found !!

so if you see a large dog with a bunch of keys and with the ability to open shutter doors and close them !!

let me know... and i will apologise to my supervisor !!
" But i think it will snow in Hell Before you find this gifted Dog "

sorry mand... it don't bare thinking about..:no:

and believe me i try not to think about it.

i know I'm not the brightest spanner in the box.. but some of the excuses and explanations he came up with.. well i told him not to insult my limited intelligence.. told him to feck right off..

Bikerchickett

nah!! to stupid.... see a guilty person would have removed the evidence and covered his tracks..

see when a "know all" or them that think they know it all.. comes into contact with a person that thinks simple and has a knack of solving problems.. well the bull shit is easy to remove.. and you are left with the facts..

as Sherlock holmes says.. "elementary my dear Watson"

erm no not exactly!!

would not say nasty...

lets say i have more regard for animals & critters than he dose..

to put it blunt.. i have found malk's demise very upsetting and a pointless act!!

were as he will probably boast to his friends how he and his dog did the deed..

some sort of neanderthal macho thing.. takes all sorts i suppose.

Update... so far the evening tablets seem ok...

The BP one i took when i went to bed last night made me feel very strange... i was glad i was lying down. Took the next one this morning and i was fine till i got half way to work and came over very dizzy. Lasted a couple of hours on and off and then i did not feel so bad.

von41
05-07-2007, 21:43
Evening mand.. it's took a month for me to get used to them cholesterol tablets... i now don't notice any strange effects that they coursed me for the first few weeks..

strange that you take yours at night though.. mind you are on different BP tablets than me.. suppose you can't take them together ?... or my Doctor is making me suffer for not taking them in the first place.. (sadist ) :)

Bikerchickett
05-07-2007, 21:55
Dunno, cos i took the first BP tablet last night as well.

The cholesterol tabs are supposed to be best at night cos that is supposedly when the *bad* fat forms when you are asleep

I am still waiting for birds to visit their new feeding house.

von41
14-07-2007, 22:37
it may take a day or two for them to find it.. bread & seed will entice them..

all i did was put fresh bread out daily.. if they don't eat it, remove it and put fresh out.. they also like fat balls.. hang one up near by on the fence the tits & sparrows love um... :)

Bikerchickett
14-07-2007, 22:41
i'll change the bread tomorrow then... there are nuts and raisins too... think i may have a fat feeder thing .. i'll look :)

von41
14-07-2007, 22:57
try them fat balls with the nylon mesh around them.. screw one of them net curtain hooks into the fence, or a screw hook, and hang it off that..
simple works good to..:)
