    You would be getting warmer but you need to keep travelling a bit further east.

    My brother lives about 10 miles east of Portsmouth - any closer?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Dh has been asked to play a pub gig not too far away in glos this summer. Not really interested but it would be doing an old man a favour. We are feeling torn because while its nice to help people out its a whole day of a weekend eaten up, and frankly, this guy is heavy going, but dh is fond of him. Artistically its not.....enjoyable.....

    Naturally any possible meet-up would need to be organised by PM/email rather than in the public domain. The map wouldn't really be sufficient to lead web-surfing burglars to specific houses, anyway. :)


    Yes but what if they put it on a photocopier and keep hitting the enlarge button!:eek:

    Thanks, i think you are right. Feels mean to say no but i think its the best option. Its not so much the one off thing, its the fact he will then want more and more...he is a cheepskate too....he gets paid and neepver even offers to refund fuel and i think also, the cost of fuel these days is relevant, as well as a precious day.

    His material hasn't changed since i have known dh, and dh says its been the same since he was young, and dh's dad said it was the same in the sixties :D. If it were goi g to be knew and exciting, or, um....good, maybe we would feel more inspired.

    Shallow I know.

    The guy from the solar panel company this morning.

    Car parked on drive, looked old with a 'Z' plate to disguis age, V8 on the side - so no doubt fast boy racer, definitely not impressive. Think it was vauxhall or similar, not German,
    Height about 5'9", so not quite tall enough.
    Looks, fairly average
    Then he spoke, amazing tone, soft Irish accent. I had to ;) keep asking him to repeat ....and repeat again. What a voice, could have made a fortune on radio.

    I get bored doing the same things over and over again, so I tried bootcamp today.

    and really, I was the worst, everyone else did all the runs and the boxing and the sit-ups.


    ow :(

    You started with bootcamp? Nothing like a baptism of fire!
