Good Evening... hope everyone had a good day :D
Evening Mandy.
top day, followed by a quick blast on my bike.
Nice one Sloppy... so you managed to avoid the rain ?
Mind you it has been ok here this evening !
Evening mand.. how was your day ?
all went well i hope !!
just starting to rain here.... and I've just come back from work to again!!
no drowning for me tonight.. :)
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.
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.
Ta Von. i'll do my best :)
of that I'm sure.. :)
like i say make the best of this temporary post you have been given.. least till you have explored all avenues/options that are available to you.. then decide what takes your fancy...
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.Quote:

What a nice day.. Spent a lovely evening with Giny (who came on the Stratford rideout)
evening mand..
Hi Von... good day ?
not to bad.. getting tired... you ?
Yes thanks.. and i am a bit tired too
Ha ha its another evening...
and i have to do the no food after 10 pm trick and trundle down to have my blood taken in the morning :(
evening.... after 10pm !! .... why was i not allowed no food after 6 pm.. ?
Tee hee.... i dunno !!!!!!
Aha!
different Health authority.. :)
still makes you wonder why though ?
yes it does... very strange !!
I have to take my BP twice a day on a machine they have lent me !
you must be private Health care.. mine NHS care wouldn't give me a plaster ;)
Nope just the local NHS doctors surgery :)
cool... and a BP machine for your own use.. :)
mind i would prolly miss use mine.. and knock my self out.. ;)
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 !!
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...:)
I'll maybe try before i go to the blood place and when i get back (i'm walking there)!!
Evening,
it's the stress of being at the Dr's that put's your BP up.
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 :)
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.
Oh well fingers crossed... and i did take straight after i got home from work...
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.. ;)

Hi Von... I sure did get it dry, and i have actually got round to cleaning the house... AND been out and put petrol in the car !!
But ran out of time to go out on the bike :(
cool.... Hold on !!! you went out to put petrol in car.. instead of a blast on ya bike... surly that's not a fair trade off.. coulda filled up car any time like on way to work or shops.. wish i had the time today to go out for a blip...
mind if it's kind tomorrow... I'll sling a leg over and go for a blip.. :)
I did have to go to Sainsburys too... so got petrol at the same time... i have fingers crossed for tomorrow too :)
sorry Mand... accept my humble apology... for thinking you did a special trip out for petrol... Ahem!! i do know some that do though (not me)
yep a blat is in order... if nice, Big if though..
Its my fault... i missed out the shopping bit !!!!
Mind you it was supposed to rain today... but so far so good :D

Same here... although the wind appears to have dropped again now...
My garden is so nice and bright now my neighbour has cut down the fir trees :)
nice one.. are you going to put a bird table up now.. they love um.. the one i built is popular with the buggers.. :)
I have a makeshift birdbath !
Unfortunately its mainly pigeons around here, they tend to keep most of the other birds away :(
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... :)
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
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..
the swifts have just started there evening feast over the trees.. brill :)
I bet thats ace... my garden is a bit rustic.. its not very big and i dont have grass.... wood chippings instead, recently refreshed by the neighbours trees being shredded into my garden !
love the aroma of fresh cut pine.. "cedar" Hay! you gorra potpourri in ya garden.. :)Quote:

Ho well least you had it for while.. same as that stuff you lob in a dish dried flowers etc.. don't last.. :(
yes it was nice while it lasted, and the garden does look much better now too.
Your bird table is ace Von :)

Grrrrr not good...
I have BT... cant complain !
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 :)
That is absolutely crap... I cant complain about BT (touch wood).. bit expensive but overall reliable.
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:
Its cheaper labour costs in India :(
yes i suppose... evening BTW.. :)
Evening :D
:).. i see you have been busy
T has been very busy... i only did a very little bit... oh and the number plate !!
very catchy it is to.. :)
The original plate was BCH !
Aha ..the original prefix... still catchy though.. :)
we tried doctoring the plate by inserting IT, but it did not look right!
B1 TCH... looks cool.. :)
a 1964 number
I tried anyway !!!!
A smaller paintbrush would have helped though !
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.. :)
It is sticky back plastic stuff that i painted on using radiator paint !!!!
Ho right.. i understand..
I always wanted to be a Blue Peter presenter !!!
Good Evening folks...
i appear to have use of the Internet again...
i was unable to post last night on here after midnight.. :mad:
Ho also we have a man down at work.. so i have to go in early this week... no morning banter for me:(
Hi Von.... Don't let them work you too hard !
:eek:
Evening Mand...
Don't mind Hard work.. is just Don't like being wet all day !!

Am thinking about having a tot of something in me coffee..

Excellent, please make one for me too :D
OK.. must bring rest of bottle with me to round two.. see if we can put a bigger dent in it... that may incur a ..Death in.. :)
Oh yes, it could well do :)
Evening Mand.. see you had a pleasant journey Down south.. :)

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!! :)
Awww well done Von... you are a star, bet Malc is very grateful, lets hope the other pigeons teach him well :D
Ohhh evening BTW !!!
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:
Ho how did your Holiday go...
you have a good time ?
are you home now ?
are you well rested ?
are you ready for next week end :)
"now breath ;)"
They dont do that do they ??? Thats horrid :(
Keep looking after him.... carefully
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 ?
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 :(Quote:

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 ?
Quote:
Originally Posted by Bikerchickett

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..
Oh dear.... i'll keep my fingers crossed.
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.Quote:

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.
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:

poor little bugger got confused with all this weather and he met his fate by some hunting dog' Killer!
T firstly.. one of the girls got in touch with said federation.. and was informed that the owner would neck it if returned..Quote:

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
Whoever did it needs something very nasty doing to them :(

So any more news Von ?
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 "
see above.../\...Quote:

Nice one Von... i hope he feels suitably guilty

as Sherlock holmes says.. "elementary my dear Watson"
A very nasty man then :(
erm no not exactly!!Quote:

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.
Evening folks..
surprise surprise.. another wet evening.... :(
Evening... its dry here at the moment :D
Evening Folks...
was a late finnish for me 20.15.. Had all on at work..:)
Poor you Von, at least you are back now... i got home at 7 had to go to the Docs to get blood test results :(

Ramipril 2.5 mg (morning) and Simvastatin 20 mg (evening)
Have to take first Ramipril tonight when i am in bed
cos the doc said it may make me faint
:(
well i hope you get on with them :) remember simvastatin with food.. i have to take mine in the morning made me gippy all day for a week am fine now though :)Quote:

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 ) :)
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
Evening Folks..
how are we all ?
in fine fettle i hope..:)
Not too bad thanks Von... still have not made it out on the bike though :(
But i do finally have a cleanish house !!
your not on your own... the weather has been horrid of late..
so i have put some overtime in at work instead..
i feel shattered !!
I went to work extra today... so have two hours owing :)
And it will be sleeptime soonish i think.
I am still waiting for birds to visit their new feeding house.
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... :)
i'll change the bread tomorrow then... there are nuts and raisins too... think i may have a fat feeder thing .. i'll look :)
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..:)
Evening Folks...
From a very wet derbyshire.. although it's stopped at the mo...
hells bells did it piss it down...
TBH.. I've had enough of this wet stuff !!
It rained a fair bit here too... I have definitely had enough.
well i just hope Aug is DRY!!!!
Yep and me.... sorry for delay in replying... Sparkys is being slow tonight :(
for me to... think micky mouse (microsoft) has done something on the last update :(
Yep mine has been a bit iffy since then... but Sparky's is by far the worst, speed wise :(
i have sent a error report to Microsoft lets see if they come back with anything ?
I'm fairly good at getting in trouble with official types :)
Nice one Von !!!!!!!
Evening Folks...
has been a very nice day here...:)
Its been mainly dry here....
AND i went out on my momobike for a short ride... but i had to come home and finish off reading Harry Potter :D
Good God... you to!!

have spent a bit of time tonight looking for donor parts for my new project
the parts list is growing but i may have to seek advice before i commit...
i keep getting flash backs to when i built the GS1000 back in the 80's mind the parts bins were full of lovely bits and in abundance...
