Bargain..

September 3, 2008

Me n the lovely Mrs B nipped into town today to collect our travelers cheques n euros for the hols so we nipped into the Bell for a swift one and a bowl of chips to keep us going..first time since the refurb and i must say i like it..i was a bit apprehensive on entering but i reckon it’s good.

We picked up the Sopranos boxed set for 90 quid from Zavvi, Half price so we were well chuffed with that,Then a new beach bag and a few holiday bits, oh then Mrs B noticed her watch had stopped so off to the watch battery bloke, nowt wrong with it says the bloke as the battery had become dislodged..a free one there so chuffed all round. Oh and it proper pissed it down..not that we cared!

I had a call from me mucker Douggie today and he tells me his knee is swollen and painfull again so he is off on the sick,,Take it easy mate them knees take a bit of time to mend. So i reckon that is putting a bit of pressure on the fill in crew on our team at the factory, mind you i am in holiday mode so i ain’t having to cope with it eh?

Anyroad i’m off for a bit of dinner and some Sopranos..Have a good un n think of me in the sun..

A full squad..A full week.

A good week at the factory..Dave the belt has slotted in like a custom built cog so all is well there.And we bumped into Dark n Dangerous yesterday so we caught up on the goss from the old place..Going down hill fast by what we heard..justice!

I reckon Dave will be ready for solo flight after next weeks night shifts and that ain’t bad cuz there is a lot of different practices to master but he has grasped it well and has fitted into our team quickly.

Them bastard cats are still invading so i have fitted a few more defences and i reckon i have got the garden cat proof now, perhaps i should post a warning sign? Mind you cats can’t read so i reckon a dead one in a noose might give um a clue.

My first weekend off for ages coming up and i am well looking forward to nipping into the Bell to look at the refurb,I might even have a pint while i am there. i have a bit of shopping to do and the Bell is allus part of any trip into Hood Town for me. I would have added a link to the Bells website but it has not been updated so nip over to Stuarts place for a bit of history about it..Nice one mate.

Anyroad i am off for a brew and a fag..Have a good one you lot and stay safe as even a kids party ain’t fun around here anymore! BASTARDS!

 

Ding Dong!

The Bell is open again after being closed for a few week to re-furbish, I ain’t been up there yet but i am well looking forward to a pint in there as it is one of my watering holes. From all accounts the place looks good. I shall give it a nudge on my next weekend off.

Their web site has not been updated yet so no pics of the work done but i am sure it will be sorted in the next few days.

Me n the lovely Mrs B are out for a meal down at the Ferry tonight and i do hope the Venison is on the menu,It has been a bit hit and miss in there of late but i do like the place and when the meals are on form they are brill! A couple of bottles of wine help the evening along so a good time ahead.

Anyroad time for a brew so I’m off, Have a good weekend you lot and spare a thought for us that’s gotta work it.
