My post-lockdown commute back to work

[strigils]

I won't ride a bike in Thailand mate, especially with my daughter on board. Besides, there's another classmate on the school runs. He's half Welsh but I still think I should keep him safe.

Point taken, i've come off 3 times, once in Koh Chang in the wet and twice skidding on grit in the road when cars have just pulled out.

I think you need a pool addition though

[Looper]

Is that a flamingo's tail Mendip or are you just pleased to see the wife after 8 months

You need a little remote control Arleigh-Burke class guided missile destroyer to pull you round the pool and back to the swim up bar for a refill.

[Stumpy]

You've got no pink flamingo JP?

No but wife bought that big damn duck. I just have a 2 drink holder float tube.

My pool temp today was about 28c.

Nice pics buddy.

[Joe 90]

Nice pool and pics mate, don't the dogs jump in and cool off?

Mine would be first in that pool.

[Dillinger]

You utter kunt

[Saint Willy]

You utter kunt

Jaysus, he spent six months getting to that pool!

[Dillinger]

I hope the gardener over chlorinated

[Mendip]

^^ I thought that was a bit strong as well.

And as for 'over chlorinating'... I mean... wtf?

[Stumpy]

Why would you need to over chlorinate Dil? Do you thing Mendy is pissing in the pool?

[Dillinger]

^ another pool dosser.

It's no good for you, too much sun.

It's no good for you, too much sun.

Britain, weather forecast for next week:

Monday:

Very cold and windy with snow showers, heaviest in the east and northeast with significant accumulations in places. Sunniest across western parts.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Very cold with a significant wind chill. Snow showers feeding inland from eastern coasts. Potential for cloudier conditions bringing snow to parts of the west or southwest on Thursday.

Way ahead of you Strigils.. been there done that.



These inflatables don't last long... soon get a puncture and deflate.

You ever had a Pink Flamingo go down on you JP?

[Stumpy]

I swam 10 laps and then had me a few Makers Mark 46 Bourbons.

Lovely day

[Stumpy]

You ever had a Pink Flamingo go down on you JP?

Gotta tell ya Mendy...Never had a Flamingo(and wont.). I am a simple guy..



Double drink holder floater.

[bsnub]

Double drink holder floater.

River run.

Shit it has been awhile since I used an old truck inner tube to float down a river. Now days you can just get one of those things.

I still remember the damn valve grinding into my backside after I flipped it in some rapids.

Ha ha, exactly Lom. The only pool Dill will see is a pool of piss on Brummie High Street next Friday night... oh no he won't, sorry, it's lockdown!

Betcha you wish you'd bought a lined shell suit now before you moved back up north!


But anyway, one thing that has amazed me after being away for nearly 7 months is how easy it would be to fall back in to old habits.

The fukkin gardener is pissing me off. He says 'Do you want Ya Dong'. So I say no. Then he says, 'OK, mai pen rai, I leave a bottle in my fridge', and he fukks off out.

I mean, wtf can you do?



I guess the good thing is how easily my lovely young daughter slipped into my usual evening position while I was away. OK, so she's not on the Leo and Ya Dong yet but she's showing real promise. Jump forward 43 years and that is me! How proud can a father get.

She also loves steak and kidney pie.

[bsnub]

Looks like paradise for me aside from the unbearable heat and humidity.

Yeah Man. River run was the perfect Lake Mead Spring Break drunk floater.

But I remember those black inner tubes with the long ass kidney poking valve stem with a metal cap

Those were both great for water and snow.

Dill had a good run at living the dream lifestyle, reality in the UK is a comedown but just as rewarding in different ways.

I do miss swimming though, we used to go a couple of times a week and the local water park every month.

Bloody lockdown has temporarily stopped that hobby.

Its payback for all those food pics we posted while you were starving in quarantine Have a beer floating in your pool and spare a thought for us wankers in the freezing UK.

The rest is history.

I swam 10 laps and then had me a few Makers Mark 46 Bourbons.

Very nice, wanker

[strigils]

I still remember the damn valve grinding into my backside

and never went back

[bsnub]

and never went back

How would you fucking know? You never set foot here on the west coast.

[bsnub]

You have never been to the US, so you have no idea wtf I am talking about.

I have a pool...come down





What part of Birmingham is that, Nev?

[Joe 90]

The beast from the east part 2 has started up here, I'm not going anywhere apart from my fridge and sofa.
The dog can take himself for a walk and pick up his own 3 bags full of hand warming shite.

Besides there's a big match on today

[strigils]

What part of Birmingham is that

The vehicles have wheels, so the posh part.

How is Dillette getting used to the UK and the cold?, bet its a shock and given the COVID situation even weirder for her.
