The 157 Servoz?

In unrelated news, someone today asked what I would say if I met Gorbachev.

I replied "я очень рад познакомиться с вами, Михаил Сергеевич!"

That threw him.

Got a few days now of 'first ride over route' - basically being in charge of a train over the routes I sign whilst an assessor observes me and asks questions about the route and type of train being worked.
Just say these words, "We're on a Class 37 hauling coal from Ponypridd."

He has to give you the job. It's a secret code.

I was on a bus that was on the wrong route and the driver turned round in a garage. The route he should have taken used the double decker he was driving not the single decker he thought he was driving. I was glad I was sitting downstairs when the shouting from those upstairs started. No one was hurt when he collided with the canopy. Loads of damage.

I was flagged down, while out on a bike ride through one of Guernsey's prettiest wooded valleys, by a jolly nice West Indian chap. He asked where he was, so I told him, which was nice.

Then I noticed the number for the bus he was driving, the 6A. It's the one that goes right around the Island's coast road.

It's better when they get older. I did another risotto tonight and daughter and I shared the Cava before pouring the remnants into the rice.
Mind you, alcohol and young kids is a good mix if you want a quiet night. Either the parents or the kids have to drink it, but never both as that would be irresponsible.

Ten minutes to get through the toll booths on the Severn Bridge this morning.

frown

This, of course, was the morning I was trying to measure the journey time driving at a steady 65. If I'd set the cruise control for 70 as usual I would have missed the hold up.

Two hours and five minutes door to door.

frown

My best time so far is an hour and 43 minutes.

Foo.

35 minutes I stood in the ice cold field calling the dog at half six this morning, 35 fking minutes in the freezing cold, pitch black, frosty start to another day.

'Sunny. Come on you bugger, it's cold'

'Suuuuuunnnnnnnnny, you hungry, want some food? Come on'

'Suuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyy, FFS come here, where are you, it's bloody freezing'

'SUNNY, get your bloody arse in gear, I'm freezing my nuts off, come on, that's enough!'

'Suuunnnnnnnnnnyyyyyy, come and see what I've got, d'you want a treat?'

'Right, I'm going home without you, sod ya!'

He was only sat on the bloody doorstep when I got back home. banghead

Could've been worse in the end. A few disturbances and finally awoke 30 minutes earlier than normal. We're a bit tired but not completely knackered. Hurrah! smile

Poor little snotbag does look exhausted, though. frown
