Griff9of13 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 This the third trip now? I went to Ruislip yesterday for a little bit of work. I won't be going again. Is that a reflection of the quality of Ruislip or the quaility of the work? "it is a well known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it."

timtum Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Is that a reflection of the quality of Ruislip or the quaility of the work? Most definitely Ruislip! Never been before; its now got a tick against its name in the book of places I have been, and a little cross to remind me not to go again. Perhaps its my allergy to London kicking in again.

Tiny Tim Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 they were all dead and Gene was delivering them to heaven, the greasy bloke who was always writing his report and causing trouble was trying to get them to hell. The bloke on the pub door was St Pete at the holy gates So Ray was a murderer and committed suicide, aren't these considered big negatives when applying to go to heaven? ...otherwise thought it was a good ending, although I prefered Life on Mars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedford Roughyed Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 So Ray was a murderer and committed suicide, aren't these considered big negatives when applying to go to heaven? ...otherwise thought it was a good ending, although I prefered Life on Mars Gene gave him a chance to redeem himself by being a good cop. Chris got the chance to stand up to a superior (instead of being shot). And Shaz got a chance to overcome her fear of screwdrivers. With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleep1673 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Most definitely Ruislip! Perhaps its my allergy to London kicking in again. Ruislip isn't London! I know because I lived around the corner in Uxbridge for 20 years, it's technically Middlesex, as most of it either has a Uxbridge postcode (UB) & telephone prefix (01895) or a Harrow postcode (HA).

timtum Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Today's excitment (which caused me to miss the State of Origin game) was driving forty miles to my mate's house to get his previously undiscovered septic tank emptied - for the second day in a row after the buggers didn't turn up yesterday. Very exciting when they discovered that their pipes weren't long enough and they had to cobble together various bits of discarded drain pipe.... And then vacuum two hundred year old poo through it. What a smelly job that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Hall Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Connected? Oh yes. I've never really experienced "having a lot on my mind" if you know what I mean, I don't like it either to be honest. Going to the lakes tomorrow morning and roughing it under the stars for a night with the lads, that'll clear my head for what's coming I'm sure. http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes | Leaflets | Cards | Banners & Flags | Letterheads | Tickets | Magazines | Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFC & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a plan, like you say should help clear the head. If you were thinking of going it could be great timing. Good luck.

timtum Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 how do you discover an undiscovered septic tank? not by putting the best foot forward, I hope Turns out half his house is on mains sewage but the euphemisms empty into a septic tank. He discovered it after some vigorous flushing when it overflowed. He proceeded to empty part of it using buckets, went head first in when the level had gone down a bit, and then asked me to get the merde men in. He has my admiration. But was not welcome to stay that night.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
