Snow outside. But I'm not chilly any more.
I'm wondering how the guy survived...

I am too old to die young now
according to teenage daughter just as she was left off at shcool.
She is walking home......
Six weeks of solid colds. Three weeks back to normal health, now I've got another bloody cold! so boring....
Off to Bangalore tomorrow on business and trying to decide whether to pack shorts and fake tan as my legs are so white they will reflect light or just wear jeans/suit.
Around 30 c and sunny

On Friday I was pursued and intercepted by a Grampian Police armed response vehicle!
Charged!

Why do some people insist on pronouncing the word 'ask' as 'arks'...as in "I'll just arks this bloke what the time is"......an ark is a big boat with animals on it in pairs you dinlos!
Why do people think it's suitable to use the photocopier area at work as a form of social catch-up? FFS, it's beside my desk and I don't give a crap about what you're all doing over the weekend. Some of us are being paid to actually work.
Yeah, and while I'm at it, they all use the same opener: How are you?, or How are things? The same whenever they phone someone up. No-one cares, no-one really wants to know how you are, and that's not the reason for the call either. Just get to the point! It's completely false. It really is pathetic. And those being asked are just as bad - they always answer 'Not bad. How are you?' Be true to yourself FFS, and be honest. If they don't want an honest answer, don't bloody well ask. And don't feign false interest back either, returning the same pathetic question.
It really winds me up.
After ten years of marriage my wife tells me that she loves me ... but is not in love with me? She's well into the menopause ... you never no what your going to come home to. Tough times ahead I reckon.
Beer or wine?
That is a massive bit of fluff I've just dug out of my bellybutton.

One of the many life skills taught by the army is how to shout VERY loudly and the gentleman who jumped in front of me in the taxi queue last night found this out. It had been a long day's travel and spending over 2 hours on the tarmac at Heathrow in a plane full of little Tarquins and Tamara's on the way to their Easter skiing holidays hadn't helped. Waiting 30 minutes for bags to arrive and finding a distinct dearth of taxis (together with the couple of Negronis I had in the lounge at Geneva) meant that the self-important twunt who thought that he'd just jump in ahead got "STOP! THAT IS NOT YOUR TAXI; GET BACK IN THE QUEUE" at full, All Arms Drill Wing, volume. With hindsight watching him jump two feet in the air as he was about to grasp the door handle was bloody funny and looked a little bit like the start of a breakdance routine - I was standing just behind him and my ears hadn't popped yet. The taxi driver was a bit nervous on the drive home but it all ended well.

Although we don't have any snow here in the Deep South, I'm still fed up with winter and want it to go away.
Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
I was accompanying an officer to the Mess one lunchtime at Aldershot barracks and we were chatting away when, without warning, he shouted at two soldiers manning the gates for some transgression he'd spotted. They jumped to attention - but nowhere as high as I did, he bloody deafened me! (Never knew you chaps were taught it, btw).

Currently in Bangalore and am very very bored. Saturday's night alright for sleeping!
Golf tomorrow . 6 sleeps before I can go home.

There seem to be significantly more gingers in Hamburg than I'd remembered.

I have just seen an email at work from "Brian Case".
I tweeted for the first time today. Not sure how I feel about that.

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
My job is a joke and at 48 I feel bloody worthless :-(
Sad but what was the point in trying so hard all my working life and only end up here.
Right I'm off to find a length of rope.
I just saw a Toyota GT86 on the road. A fine looking car indeed.
I saw Thomas the Tank engine going down the road the other day
Seen 2 crows mating near the footpaths on the ground, just behind the fence...and I thought...dirty birds, get a nest or private branch. However I was quite pleased to see this rare occurance, as I've never seen it before
Next morning one of them was still there...dead
I thing they were not mating...
No matter how many times you create a new post for the mint Bulova Accutron on Sales Corner, we all know it's been on for ages and it's far too dear.
