    That moment when an album* arrives that you'd forgotten you'd ordered. That.

    Back to work tomorrow, after 2 weeks off sick, following the sick cancer op.

    Yay no more daytime TV, it's shite.

    I'm predicting (safely) a lot of skiving will happen over the next few weeks.......

    Thanks to (In particular)

    @alnico @octatonic for their help through this

    and @Drew_fx for making me laugh (both here and on FB)

    Good luck at work man.
    If you don't want to do something, tell them to just fuck off and do it themselves.
    Take it easy and keep smiling.

    Cheers Lads, yep, way better.

    Still a little sore, but that's to be expected.

    @Alnico I regularly tell people to fuckoff, mostly when they're being lazy.

    Just had our young (21) receptionist come to see me.

    She did say "thank fuck you're back, the other 2 are wankers"

    Classy, but made me feel good.

    My apologies for this previous post.
    Said the right thing in the wrong way.
    I should have said something like. .....
    I wouldn't let preconceptions stand in the way of what could be an amazing moment.

    All the best Mike.

    Found stuff I've been looking for for a while:
    Alesis SR-16 drum box, headphone amplifier & distribution box.
    Plus a tambourine, a descant recorder and a swanee whistle.

    Nice to see a good story from the NHS, it gets bashed far too much IMO but I've had nothing but good service in the main.

    Biggest issue with the NHS is there's too many managers, not enough shop-floor staff.

    Seriously. cut the management bullshit, and you have a brilliant organisation.

    Gonna stick a photo up from wednesday, cos I had (Mostly) a great day! Some bad news came shortly after this photo but it's a day I'd like to keep anyway. 
    I rediscovered Slacklining, and have since bought myself one to try and cheer mself up too. Can't wait :D
    I've also had a haircut since then, feels weird to have shortish hair.

    @speshul91 ;

    Although mastering walking on it reliably is enough of a challenge :D
    It kinda started as a nuts hobby climbers had when not on the wall. Now it's practically a sport in itself. You can get a nice 15m line for about £45 too. cool thing to have for the family.
