Things That Gladden The Heart

Yesterday I was contacted through my old school alumni site, by a guy asking for some career advice as he is off to work in a similar field to me..... spent an hour on the phone to him this morning.... crikey what a smart chap, not sure if there would be much I could tell him other than to give him the affirmation that he has his ducks lined up and is asking the right questions.

Hope I was able to give him some useful pointers..... made me smile that he left the school 33 years after me! The world is in good hands if there are folk like him entering the workforce....
 
New car ordered, BMW 4 series grand coupe, March delivery.

Had the grand coupe 420d for a couple of years before we came out here in Feb '18. Chosen because I fancied a change after 3x Audi A6's. Sorry but I'm struggling to say anything nice about it. Hope it goes well for you and it ticks your boxes.

Its on a 2 year lease, at the price im paying i cant complain, hopefully its not too bad as i've never test drove one before.

I loved the looks, and still do, but it just was a bit bland to drive and a little basic inside. Like you, on a lease.
 
Rupert won't stop licking his paw with the stitches so had to dig out the cone..... he's sitting in front of me giving me a filthy look.... and has been for the last 20 mins... the little knob

When we had Finley deplumbed the little sod made a habit of bashing into us when he had his come on and scraping it against us
 
The complete lack of political correctness around the lunch table at work today after 3 of our ladies came back from the chippy, 2 with saveloy and chips. The third was offered an opportunity to try a saveloy but declined as she "doesn't like sausage". And it went downhill from there.

And no, I was neither the instigator nor the worst culprit!!

Sounds like a typical conversation in my team at work! ?

About 95% of our office are ex servicemen. There isn't much political correctness going on and every third word is a swear word.
 
Me and my Mrs met at a friend's engagement party in a house in Redland, Bristol all of 32 yrs ago this evening - and I am very grateful and my heart is gladdened that she has stuck with me through thick and thin - many wouldn't have :) xx
 
The wife was recommended some boots for Rupert as he can now do short lead walks, but the cut mist be kept dry...4 turned up so we put all 4 on him.... ive not laughed so much in ages he was like one of those Lipizzaner hourses trotting around the Kitchen, if we stick them on again def going to film it:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
