Absolutely delighted to see that Sebastian Coe has failed in his attempt to become IOC President, the Tory whopper. 

Crikey, it’s coming to something when a tory isn’t corrupt enough for them!!

Just read the timeline of the vote and it seems he was done up like a kipper - they'd all pretty much decided to vote for the woman who won. 

 

Samaranch's son was a candidate and amazingly didn't win. Generational corruption avoided.

I got me something for my collection of football shirts though. Might have a different drawer for shirts of teams I relegated. It will sit nicely with the huge amount of shirts of my very own local team Hessen Kassel…

Did anyone see Roger Black on the news this morning? Turns out he got diagnosed with heart valve disease at age 11, and still managed to have a very successful career as an elite athlete. 

 

Reckons his dad, a doctor, worried about him every day of his life post diagnosis. If it goes wrong, your heart basically explodes apparently. 😬

 

Had open heart surgery last year, as it has advanced, but fucking hell he still looks young as fuck. 

Fucking hell! Great athlete who made the absolute most of his talent and always comes across as a nice fella.

Saw it the other day, Salboy and Domis are Fred Done also known as Bet Fred.

 

There is a cluster around there of ever taller shinier blocks going up. More housing is never a bad thing but 99% of the development of Manchester is happening within the relatively small footprint of the “city centre”

 

Its decent for us in a personal way cos we are 1 train stop (7 minutes) out of town, and our house price has gone mental in 4 years because of the older town dwellers wanting more space for kids etc, but hardly any fucker (see younger people who want to be in town) can then afford to buy these flats. So they end up as rentals and young kids who want to be in town get fleeced by the landlords.


Work wise we are working on two high rises at them moment and the building safety act is a right pain in the arse so I wouldn’t be surprised to see a lot of developers stay away from high rise for a while until it settles down.

Bit scary this morning 

https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/bushfires/water-bombers-fighting-bushfire-burning-in-yellagonga-park-in-woodvale-c-18130392

That's about a mile away and the IGA shown on the image is about 100 yards away. 

Looks like it's getting under control but large embers in the garden shows just how close. 🙁

Congrats, like I said before, they wouldn't think twice if roles reversed (and they'd do it on a Friday).

I’ve had a double shit sandwich on the way down to jolly old London. 
 

Stopped at Cambridge services for my break, checked my “social media” and some fucker has locked my access on “safe search” ! 
Is today some deadline for the most cuntish of Tory policies meaning we’re not allowed to watch ladies in the nip? 
 

Cunts. 
 

 

That was followed by a minor pissaster on the M11- usually have the bladder emptying under control for when I’m parked, but, after the shock of no filthy slappers, my body clearly went in to fight or flight…

 

 

…or piss. 
 

No way I was pulling on to the hard shoulder, as it’d take forever to get back on, so out came the bottle. 
 

Trouble is, my tackle only fits in the bottle when in a state of rest, the urgency of the piss situation had brought on a piss-boner, so I’ve had to just place the tip of the ole meatus in the neck of the bottle and try to let loose gently. 
 

All this , one-handed, the left hand, whilst bombing down the M11 in rush hour. :lol:
 

I’m just about drained, and about to give myself a “well done son!”, when I hit a fucking pothole the size of Burradon. 
 

Bottle slips, whanger springs up, momentary jet of piss up my t-shirt before my brain gets the “FUCKING NIP IT!” message through to the nipsy muscles…

 

… FOR FUCKS SAKE! :lol::lol:


 

Changed my t-shirt and all ship-shape now, but fucking hell man :lol:

 

 

 

Someone is going to pay for this, and I hope she’s brunette, busty, Eastern European, and not missed for a while…
