FoL V3.0 is going skiing tomorrow for half-term flying out of MCR airport. We have to drop her off at school at 3:30a.m. so I will be up at 2:45 to make her a bacon sandwich before driving to the school.
Good night all.

Family evening at the waking the tiger ( great shout @murrayjohnson ) and then an escape room , up early for the daughters first big gymnastic competition and then skydiving in the afternoon.
Full on weekend , shattered all week in work I reckon

That actually is whatâs motivating me to go for it, last nightâs disgraceful scenes in Knowsley (near Liverpool, one of the most diverse cities on the planet, ffs!) pushed me over the edge to actually apply for the job, rather than just think about it just because Iâm pissed off with my current situation.

No point going to bed Ălan, there is a thread specifically for situations such as this.
To be honest Rob, Liverpool being referred to as a diverse city is a real bugbear of mine . Iâm Liverpool 15 born and bred and yes we have big Afro-Caribbean and Chinese communities of multiple generations but what I canât get my head around is where are all the blokes of my age (62) when Iâm out in the town centre ?. Ok maybe some donât drink alcohol and the younger ones donât go in old blokes boozers but âtownâ is overwhelmingly white. Anyway rant over, this isnât the place, for as long as Iâve âknownâ you over various forums you deserve this chance

Fuck off am an SPTO, fucking admin twats can fuck off.
I canât argue with that mate, and honestly, Iâve been trying to compose a reply for ages without it coming across as crass.
When I go out in town, it seems pretty diverse to me, but when I go out in Crosby or Waterloo
or Formby, where I actually have friends and family, yeah, itâs very much less so.
But if my family and friends were from Toxteth or Garston, my experience might well be very different?
I actually donât know.

same shit, different smell 
I am knackered now but at least itâs (almost) done.
Edit: really looking foward to rediscovering a vast swathe of records that have just been too much hassle to get to until now.

Thatâll be the concentrate, I imagine.
Reading up about tenancy rights and trying to work out if the landlord has a responsibility to fix the plaster falling off everywhere in my living room and bedroom
Anyone an expert in this?
Any idea why itâs falling off?
Not really, it might be water damage as itâs very powdery
Annoys me that if I was to move out itâd be sorted immediately, been here almost a decade now
I might go to the agency tomorrow and have a word. Like Iâve been doing for years

Bit of âlife laundryâ having a good clear out and getting shot of stuff that I donât need anymore.
Got rid of my work suits, shirts and some shoes. I had 15 work suits and shirts, one a day with one weekâs in the dry cleaners at any one time. All now cleaned and off to charity shop as theyâre all in decent nick with at least one pair of unworn trousers each.
That said I canât see many takers given my odd shape, tall upper body and short legs 
Feels very satisfying to have drawn a proper line finishing that part of my career that is thankfully over.

Charity shops now awash with suits that no one wears any more!
Bet you all kept your cunty shoes though!
I am down to 3 suits ( including a dinner suit I wear twice a year) but still have about a dozen pairs of cunty shoes.
Whatâs a âwork suitâ? I only wear one for interviews (and didnât for the last one anyway). Suits are for weddings and funerals.
