I live in a loft apartment and the velux windows in the bedroom are nice to go to sleep to when it is raining on them.

Yes, a lot of territory marking going on out there in the forest. Spoof, shredded skin and blood everywhere.

This place is actually a tributary of Sydney Harbour. It's where it all starts.
The bedroom window overlooks this area... about 3 football fields in size. I've seen wallabies congregate there.

It starts as a small bowl of earth which creates the primary area to collect rainwater. It is prehistoric there with massive ferns and other huge trees.
It has a really nice clean organic smell too! This creek then flows into Middle Harbour and out through The Heads into the South Pacific / Tasman Sea.

I think Rick's referring to Newcastle city centre on a Saturday night at closing time.

Both apply equally to be fair, chaps.

I was once staying in one of the smaller Kruger camps when lions and hyenas decided to have a squabble late at night. Couldn't see anything but sounded like it was happening inside me it was so deafening, if I'd not known what they were I'd have been forgiven for thinking the world was at an end. Made the b*llocks vibrate.

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 18 Jul 2019, 5:52 pm

Been for a short break in Falmouth. The seagulls were feckin noisy, or at least they would have been, if there were such things.

by **Galted** Thu 18 Jul 2019, 7:51 pm

Very good post, and happy birthday. Was going to reply that Tino’s turning in his grave but luckily I read to the end.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 7:37 am

Friday fist, I will be happy to see the back of this week, so roll on the weekend...

by **Galted** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 8:09 am

Discovered last night that there's new Toca game for the PS on the way so my week has become quite joyous. Don't know what I'm going to do until September though.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 8:50 am

Never been a fan of driving games, mainly as I am poo at them.

Mrs Dagless has just bought Kingdom Hearts 3 so I expect that my PS will be out of bounds for a while.

by **Galted** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 8:56 am

Haha, mine hates games but she's obsessed with Keanu Reeves so I'm hoping Cyberpunk 2077 converts her.

I'm not a fan of racing games either but the Toca series are the exception, inspired me to watch British Touring Cars occasionally even though I find actual motor racing even more tedious than games.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 9:47 am

Mine loves games, and plays the PS more than me probably that's why I had to get a switch.

Mario Kart and Burnout are about my level which can not really be classed as racing games to be fair.

fingers crossed the breathtaking one converts Galtova

by **Galted** Fri 19 Jul 2019, 11:04 am

Cheers, though the downside is that if she gets hooked she'll almost certainly commandeer it.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 7:12 am

Morning, all.

Fist.

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 8:32 am

Sicond.

Redundancy consultation meeting at 2. Makes it all a bit real.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 8:42 am

Just the standard notification of terms and options? Or is there wiggle room on the negotiation such as role moves?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 9:09 am

It's going to be statutory only. Although they didn't even get that right for my colleague last week.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 9:26 am

It is a stressful time, and the atmosphere in the office is always rubbish

by **Galted** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 9:38 am

We had redundancis in our team a couple of years back, one of the people selected was pretty much the most valuable member of the team who was also one of the most poorly paid. Luckily the incompetent, buck-passing managers all kept their jobs. The c*nts I work for are also one of those not-a-penny-more-than-we-have-to packs of vermin.
Was a very unpleasant time.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 9:47 am

We have just been through a mass Voluntary redundancy (about 240) which is kind of the reverse.

Everyone who is going, wants to go and is happy, however, the people who go, tend to be either A) folk who have been here ages and have experience and knowledge of the company or B) highly skilled folk who know they can walk into another role.

This leaves a huge gap, and people left who know this is the best they can get.

by **ShahenshahG** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 3:44 pm

Yep, luckily I haven't used up much of my holidays so I'll get a statutory plus 15 days. Seem to be striking dirt with jobs in the locations I need em but I gotta work out my notice until October so I got time. How did your meeting go Jules?

by **JuliusHMarx** Mon 22 Jul 2019, 5:44 pm

They cancelled at the last minute cos the HR lady had a 'personal emergency' FFS.
Re-arranged for Thursday.

by **Galted** Tue 23 Jul 2019, 10:10 am

Late fist and and unmichaelsing of Julius. He shouldn't have to put up with inconveniences like that in this difficult time.

by **JuliusHMarx** Tue 23 Jul 2019, 11:02 am

Cheers Galted. We all need someone we can rely on to fist.

by **Galted** Tue 23 Jul 2019, 1:25 pm

You’re welcome. Do you think Rick is Boris Johnson?

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed 24 Jul 2019, 6:41 am

Sorry for the absence, chaps, I got stuck on a zipline looking like a monumental c**t.

Anyhoo, fist.

That sucks balls, Jules...

You looking in Luton, Shah?

by **Galted** Wed 24 Jul 2019, 9:28 am

Lol out loud, excellent start to the day.

by **ShahenshahG** Wed 24 Jul 2019, 11:20 am

Morning gentlefolk and Galted.

We shouldn't be surprised by Boris becoming the PM because it was foretold in the bible.

Blessed are the British for they shall inherit the mirth.

I'm looking in Luton, St Albans, Milton Keynes and surrounding areas Rick. How goes it for you?

by **rIck_dAgless** Wed 24 Jul 2019, 1:32 pm

cheers, Galts, always good to start on the front foot.

Going OK here, mate, I am sure it will all work out for you, the job market seems to be pretty buoyant at the moment, counter intuitively

by **JuliusHMarx** Wed 24 Jul 2019, 7:00 pm

I'm not Rutger Hauer or any replicant thereof.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 7:04 am

Night of the long fists.

Morning, all

by **Galted** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 7:45 am

Morning. 25 in London and counting.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:00 am

Evening. 19 in Sydney and counting... down.

by **ShahenshahG** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:11 am

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's a half past four and I'm shiftin' gear
When she is lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need no phone at all*

We've got a thing that's called radar love
We've got a wave in the air, radar love
The radio is playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's comin' on strong

*Except to type this post

Morning all 24°C and counting in Welwyn Garden City. Evening TLD.

How goes it Notcherinoes?

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:13 am

19 here, so not too bad.

Is the angry Kiwi extra irritable today?

Not bad today, Shah.

by **Pal Joey** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:24 am

Hi Shah, Rick and Galts... nice evening here.
I'm off to the bright lights of North Sydney for a few hours. To catch up with some old friends.

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:31 am

Very nice, I am having my internet upgraded today, exciting times indeed!

by **JuliusHMarx** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 8:58 am

Finally getting rid of your 56K modem?

by **rIck_dAgless** Thu 25 Jul 2019, 9:48 am

Indeed, the clicking and whirring were becoming a pain!

It has taken all the romance out of porn though, when it loaded a pixel at a time, it was like a strip tease. Now it is just straight to the goats and midgets.

No angry Kiwi today, he's at Lords, his giant angry crimson bald head should blend in well with the heatstroke sufferers.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 6:52 am

Just tagging in as safe from the sweatening...

Fist

by **Galted** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 8:11 am

Still alive. Slept with the door to the balcony open and throat feels funny - will gain some street cred for the South are if I can get a cold on the hottest day in July ever.

by **rIck_dAgless** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 8:22 am

Up North at the moment, it is the human equivalent to animals getting really confused at an eclipse.

I woke up feeling like I had a hangover I sweated that much, it was well attractive.

Local street party tomorrow so it is bound to rain I expect.

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 8:31 am

Should you awake to feel like you'd never slept
And feel so very old
Well don't you feel alone

by **Galted** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 8:56 am

I've been aching all through summer

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 9:01 am

Lloyd's new CD was out yesterday but since I don't have a wrecka stow within 10 miles of where I live, I've yet to get it.

by **Galted** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 9:12 am

Didn't know they were still going. You obviously feel cheated streaming music instead of buying the physical disk?

by **JuliusHMarx** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 9:26 am

He's a solo artist these days. I'm not on Spotify or Tidal. Sometimes go on Youtube to listen to stuff not available to buy. Otherwise I buy the CD.

by **Galted** Fri 26 Jul 2019, 9:39 am

I recently downloaded an album for Galtova on her iPad and it took me ages to find out where the f*ck it was. I don't even like streaming movies, far prefer buying a disk.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 29 Jul 2019, 7:28 am

Fist.

Simple and to the point.

by **rIck_dAgless** Mon 29 Jul 2019, 8:59 am

Sometimes the best way, Jules.

How was the weekend?
