Surely SOD was already there, so you only used six letters?

Incorrecto.

Some lil clever-eddy had already placed OF on a double-word score under the S to combine it with O to make SO.


Life's not all about 3-letterers.

So yeah, SOD off. *titter*

Or to completely copy the board, SOD OF, as BLD would pen.

^ I see, well done.

I don't suppose it's worth asking what FA means?

Sweet.

Fair enough, that certainly sounds a lot. Was that more than last time or you are just feeling it more?

He's only gone and fokin' done it again.




And no I don't know what either word means.

^ If you placed thar word with the s on the end of tame, wouldn't it have scored 6 more points?

Are you in double entendre mode ?

Fact is, there is a very strong affinity between us. Scared the hell out of me to start with, but we've managed to work it out and we've also managed to stop triggering each other. Although, I got her well and truly triggered before the Christmas break.

No mode at all. Was genuinely curious about the trip being difficult and now I have no idea how the conversation has ventured into details about your relationship with your SO.

Apologies if my posts veered that way.

Got chatting at length today to an attractive colleague who informed me she was 35 and single....

This brief but sizzling encounter sounds like the makings of a great Christmas movie screenplay, Troy. Who should play you?


Finally got round to visiting the doctor after blood on my toilet paper a couple of times a while back

I have not been for years so I shopped around the online pics until I found a gorgeous Indian/malaysian beauty

5 minutes after her beatific smile welcomed me into her office she had her finger up my jacksie



Oh fuck yeah!

She says it was probably a hemorrhoid and nothing to worry about but will schedule a screening anyway.

I might go back in 3 months to let her monitor the situation properly

Hugh Grant naturally!

That's a long time to wait!

i'm finding it a struggle sometimes too, its not helped by some of the lazy junior members of staff.

In other news its nearly 2024 whch wasn't a great year for me so i'm looking forward to 2025, although i'm convinced 2024 was only 5 months long, it flashed by.

^ As usual, 20% of the people do 80% of the work. With Gwrman socialist laws many are just bums on seats nowadays and impossible to get rid off.

2025 is going to be an awful year. I doubt anything will go in my favour, work or pleasure.

No shiz.

There's a theory that time seems to go faster in the tropics because without proper seasons there are no real markers of time.

Which also leads into the theory about Western foresight vrs tropical lack of. In Europe people had to plan for the winter or their family could die. In the tropics the locals could just reach up to whatever tree they were sleeping under and pick whatever fruit is on it year round, and never had to think of or plan for the future.


2024 went by in the blink of an eye, was far more eventful than I had anticipated, looking at the list on me posterboard I managed to do exactly 0 of the 5 points I listed out at the start of the year, while doing two things I really, really shouldn't have, and ending the year with a GF that is 25 years younger than me, 26 years next month and I'm only mid-40s, which to be honest isn't even something I want in my life.

Here's to a more wholesome and healthier 2025. :-)

I'm only mid-40s

In most contexts, that isn't an age preceded by the word 'only'.

It's young to be dying, that's about it.

That's not a great train of thought going into a new year.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to maintain enthusiam for work, some of the apprentices are great and will have a great career ahead of them and they make it worth staying on at times, but as mentioned and as stated by you there are some really lazy entitled little fukers and where possible i have tried to get them kicked out or at least make their lives unpleasant whilst they are swinging the lead.

I have well and truely arrived in the age where my youthful cloak of invincibility has worn out, finding i'm taking longer to recover from illnesses and creaking - all the stuff i did in my youth is coming back to say hello.

Another reason to consider retirement - people i know both older and younger than me keep dying and it leads me to reassess just how much time i'll have left with the kids and to enjoy retirement. My doctor has started giving me a risk assessment of the liklihood of a heart attack in the next 10 years and whilst its not a certainty it does bring home to roost your own mortality, that and watching Whitehouse and Mortimer Gone Fishing

Twice in the last year i have come very close to handing my resignation in, i don't really need the money and i'm finding time is a more valuable commodity than money, healthy time (relatively) whilst i can still travel and do stuff that requires a modicum of fitness.

Ny new years resolution is to get a bit fitter and try to reduce some of the things in my diet i know will likely make me cark it and see if i can get a better reading from the doc on my next asessment

Good man. Always a good plan to have.

Any plans for fitness? For example regular hiking, cycling, jogging, gym treadmill etc?

Mine is to get back to park jogging/treadmill early every morning, light upper gym every afternoon, and zero alcohol for the year. Everything else, besides random impregnations, is all good.
