    when I was working with the ex`s dad, he used to buy, refurb and sell houses when me and her first got together so id go and help out here and there, one house, the whole back garden im not kidding you, was covered in dog shit, couldn't see the slabs, the grass had been killed off, didn't know what was mud and what was shit. we ended up digging down a few feet with a digger and having the whole lot concreted. there was another house where the kids or somebody of the last tenants must have been pissing on the floors in the bathroom and bedrooms, floorboards had to be replaced. a hoarders house is worse. hope and prey you never have to do one of those. had a old VW camper come in yesterday that just stunk of cat piss. apprentice had to work on that one outside.

    I often believe most people would be hiding in caves and beating each other in the head with sticks if they had a choice. There are some truly nasty folks out there. I worked in an Emergency Room when young. We had a human sized basin we used to soak the clothes off people that had not taken them off in years. Full of excrement, stinking of piss. I put as much surgical scrub in the basin as possible to reduce the smell once those clothes got wet. Makes me want to gag thinking about it.

    I have had to bail out of elevators because of perfumes. Just get off and wait for one with fresh air.

    It is the old ladies with the burnt out sense of smell that bathe in the stuff.

    Ditto, choke me as well, and don't start me on women who plaster their eyes in eyeliner and eye shadow, because they think it makes their eyes look better; it doesn't!!!

    Visual aids for other's 'bout their deep seated insecurities,
    I wonder if they realise,sometimes,that they may be in the presence of others's,who are thinking-
    "Why don't you just put a fekking sign round your neck".:D :D.

    got up, went to work, got a call from a police officer asking me to go and recover a car at a RTA, went and fetched it. owner somehow flipped it without hitting anything else, must of took a bend too fast or something. winched it out of a field with no hedge next to the road. up onto the truck, first thing the bloke asks me to do is to take the alloys, the sub, what I can of the exhaust and the induction kit off (facepalm) so had a lovely afternoon ripping into a VW polo. only a 2012 aswell. that's earned me a few quid. sold the Picasso. sold my personal van. bike has gone off to Yamaha to be done. im getting the triumph at the end of the year, having a shit ton of accessories fitted. screen, heated grips, touring panniers, backrest on the topbox for the pillion, crash bars and spotlights, 12v socket etc etc, should be nice when done. got a LOOOOONG wait though :( be totally worth it.

    also spent some time teaching the apprentice to weld. these are his very first few beads he lay down. not bad for a beginner, ive seen a lot worse, just needs to slow down a little and not go so fast and then hell have a good strong weld I think.

    id have something like that but I like triumph more than I like BMW. ive owned the bmw f650. but now ive found the triumph is restrictable to A2. im having triumph. itll last me for a few years, itll do everything I want and when I turn 24 and do my unrestricted licence, I can have it derestricted and enjoy the full 94bhp it produces.
