I can play if people want and I look like I know what I am doing. But I only sink 1 out of 10 shots if I am lucky. Snooker? A different animal for me and I find it much more difficult. I remember on Shh, there were some threads on the game. From what I remember boydeste is a dangerous player and other BMs always mentioned that he's a wizard on the felt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Just finished my final shift rotation , now off for 2 weeks. It was rather unpleasant on Friday, I was perched on top of a Crane replacing one of the HV motors. Not only was it effing hot, I was also wearing heavy overalls and we had to use cutting gear to remove it because the motor had been there 20 or so years and the fixing bolts had not been greased and tied ( we add loads of heavy grease then wrap any exposed threads and bolts in a linen type of cloth, then seal it to stop the rust penetrating and "exfoliating" like you may see old rebar doing on some buildings). Using gas cutting gear in 35 degree heat while wearing overalls, a hat and a mask, plus a covid mask , I know how Alec Guinness felt in "Bridge on the River Kwai" , when he came out of that little tin box, I was sweating like a fat bird shagging in a sauna. Finished the job this morning, now on holiday for 2 weeks and enjoying a very cold bottle of Red Horse. My piss is also less yellow than it was yesterday. Got 2 weeks to finish the Patio, Garden and try to relax in between. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a quiet afternoon watching some football then a takeaway later and watch the boxing. Exciting stuff 😂 Has your bike got a puncture, or why are you riding your sister's bike? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelers4Life Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Another day by the ocean. I think I might stay here for one more month. Still gotta work from home come this autumn, but I can work from here just as well if I decide to come back again. I think my father and brother decided to stay out and do a bit of night fishing. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
