Morning all I am not Zambian president Michael Sata

How is everyone this fine autumnal morn?

I'm well Rick, last day at work for the week. How are you keeping? Shah appeared on the boxing board last night.

Glad to here it Jeff, you going anywhere nice, or just chilling?

Shah eh? Let's hope he didn't go from the boxing board whilst leaving some unattended luggage knocking around...

Or was it just classic personal insults with the occasional surprising amount of knowledge sprinkled in?

Good morning Jeff and rick.

... and no, I didn't stow away on the Antares rocket. Got held up by the guard so I missed the launch by minutes.

Galted, how's things in Texas? You seemed so happy last night!

Morning TLD how is the waterpark getting on?

I suggest a day of mourning for President Sata. Perhaps the 1st November. We can call it Sata-day.

Excellent start to the day Jules, well played...

We have a local paedo by election in Rotherham, am working that tomorrow. Long day so booked Friday off. Also nephew is coming home so am picking him up. To keep Sean happy I will put nephew in inverted commas if that helps.

Going well, mate.
The concrete pour is on Friday and the backyard gets its final shape towards the end of next week. There's a few truckloads of dirt and rubbish to remove... but my vision sees beyond this. (will be so happy when it's finally gone)

It's going to be 35-36 deg C here on Friday (good temp for the pour; quick setting shotcrete) but there is the chance of a few drops of rain over the weekend shouldn't affect it at all. There's a danger of the earth collapsing if they leave the hole exposed to the sun for too long.

Bit of a poisoned chalice that one Jeff, if my party put me up for that seat I would be worried about my future...

Excellent news, there will be naked chicks all over the place before you know it...

Our last one was not particularly good Rick, so needs must.

Expecting a godawful UKIP, BNP, Judean Peoples Front kneejerk reaction Jeff?

Ha ha. No, Jules.
Just the perimeter around the excavated areas. Some serious plate cracking going on as Tony Greig might have said once or twice.
The steel reo should hold it in near the pool but where I'm putting in a retaining wall... one needs to be careful not to go too Close To The Edge
or I might end up like a Siberian Khatru.... whatever that is. (just checked: a 4-part poem)

Am expecting nobody to turn up Rick. To be honest though you could stick a red rosette on Waingro in Rotherham and they would get in. Our last MP got sent to prison for expenses and Labour still won the by election that followed comfortably. I sometimes think I am living in some sort of social experiment where we are testing just how ridiculous things have to be before Labour would lose an election in Rotherham.

I think that's a worldwide phenomenon, Jeff. It's unbelievable what some people get away with.

Communism is a much better idea in principle anyway, at least the leaders are good at golf.

Think I am voting Green next time Rick. Am not particularly an environmentalist but at least they stand for something.

Yes, Philip (with 1 'l') Marlowe.
My son's middle name is Philip - named after Marlowe.

my sons name is Johnny Utah D named after Keanu Reaves from Point Break. True Story.

I don't believe you Adam. a) it's a silly name and b) it's a sh1t film. If it was Tino's son I'd believe it, but not yours.

It also requires that you believe that Adam has at some point done a sex with a lady.

I know we have mentioned this before Jules, but it is a constant pleasure to meet someone else who realises Point Break is absolute horse crap.

You mentioned something about 3 rounds Jules (or have I missed one?)
