What - all of BBC2 have booked a private plane?
If it's going to meet a sticky end I hope Clarkson is on it.

And Steve Wright. That's Radio 2 but he deserves a horrible death anyway.

I think this show is the original 'Lost'

So you mean...
A glamourous, padded version of Flann O'Brien's "The Third Policeman."

I had a couple of his novelty records when I was 12 or so
I think my brother might still have them...

Doesn't matter any more
Because I've bought a digital radio for both cars (hey, look at me - two cars and two digital radios in 'em, eh?) so I can avoid the egotistical cunt ANY TIME I LIKE.

But I'd still like to make him suffer for being unfunny on national radio since 1981.

How is the new job going TD?

New job schmoo job
I have retired.

I start trading on Jun 1st and I'm pretty much ready.

The big thing is getting out and selling the product. In itself that isn't a problem because I'm really the only salesman I'd ever trust, and I'm a damned good salesman.

I've already got work through the back door, I've got a rather nice website coming together (I'll let you see it when it's finished) and I've got me.

Not a problem. I'll miss driving, but if you cast your mind back I never wanted the driver manager job anyway so you might say that I've been pushed into this.

Regrets? I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention. And I fucking AM doing it my way.

Woo! Go TD and his one man machine.

Maybe I am
I'm a good gardener, an OK builder, I can fall back on my PCV if everything goes to pot - if I really really have to I can put on a tie again and go back into production management and if my own little bubble of civilisation bursts - I'm still registered as a Lloyd's broker.

This venture will come good. I know it will. It's not going to make me millions but I don't want millions. It'll keep me satisfied on an intellectual and logistical level and really that's all I want.

I'm a confident, happy little soul. I don't really belong here do I?

If you're going to continue posting here you need some sort of issue.
Make something up if your life is perfect.

No, my life isn't perfect
If it was, I'd not be posting shite on a Sunday evening.

Never really got over my divorce, for one thing.

Left the lucrative high-falutin' world of insurance brokerage due to a crippling breakdown for another.

But I take what I can and make the most of it.

How is your brother doing?

Recovering nicely
But now transferred to our parent's house in Cumbria, partially due to certain differences of opinion which I'd rather not go into, and partially because our dad is in a worse state at the moment.

Christ, it never rains for you does it.
It's been pissing down since Christmas.

Is your old man okay?

I read PCV as PVC
and assumed you made submissive women lick your boots for £150/hour.

How did Bristol do this weekend?
(, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 23:23, Reply)
We lost 3-2
Maynard got sent off, so his season is over.

We've got Darths Florest tomorrow, I can't see us getting anything there, but we are clear of the drop now. So the game will be an excuse to leave the pub for a few hours.

Did the Baggies play over the weekend?
(, Sun 24 Apr 2011, 23:25, Reply)
drew 2-2 at White Hart Lane
that's 40 points, I think we're safe.

Traditionally our last away game of the season is fancy dress to honour an unofficial player of the season, I've pointed out that honoring a DR Congo or Nigerian international by wearing beads and waving plastic spears might be a *tiny* bit racist.

Surely it depends on the spirit of the celebration?

Surely West Brom is used to this though?

the big deal early in the season
was that Lokomotiv Moskow were glad to see the back of peter odemwingie because he was black. West Brom are a club with a tradition of tolerance - The Three Degrees etc.

No tollerance of the west country though.

Well, money talks
And if someone would care to lick my wellies for a few quid who am I to turn them down?

I'm sure there's a market for itq
I'm just not sure wellies are involved
