COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

I couldn't agree with you more! Sure I'm a lover of steel guitars and fiddle picking, but Offspring…Awww warm and kinda tangy memories. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Say no more! Say no more! A nodes as good as a wink to a blind man.

(OR)
-Now I'll relate this little bit
That happens more than I'd like to admit
Late at night she knocks on my door
She's drunk again and looking to score
Now I know I should say "No"
But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go
I may be dumb but I'm not a dweeb
I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

I owned the cassette and drove those in my office straight up whack. I loved it.

Hi, Ken !
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Holiday snaps ?
Candid, eh ? Eh?
Nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more, say no more.
Nods as good as a wink to a blind bat.

Good Morning @Tidgy's Dad - Sorry, I came on here last night and went off quickly to grab some sleep. Been a tough few days.
How you keeping? You & Tort doing well?

Oh, dear, sorry you've had a difficult weekend.
Hope all's sorted now.
I'm spendiferously splendid, thanks for asking.
I'm Adam, by the way.
Tidgy's great, still massively big-headed for being August's TFO calendar tort.
But then she is a superstar.
She's just eaten a load of prickly pear and has fallen asleep.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

E I just sent you a PM

Hi, Adam, Wifey, and Tidgy.

Right! Sorry, that was my mistake.

Afternoon, Gillian!
Afternoon, Oli.
It's Tuesday so i'm just sandpapering my television.

Good morning, Ed !
Just read my e-mails.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Nope, not Buddhist. I've been studying the yoga sutras for several years now, learning from a teacher (NOT a guru- that's a very different relationship) as well as readings and workshops. I really enjoy learning the chants and I meditate regularly.
Off I go!
Have a wonderful day, all!

You, too, Bea.
Remember, we want a full report.
In triplicate.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

​

everyone at CDR. Hope you are all well.

Any news from @Lyn W , anyone?

Nothing from Lyn at all.
Nearly a week now.
i'm a bit worried too.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

There's something very evocative about cactus flowers.
Have a smashing day.

All is good Adam (I shall call you this from now) Thank you. Just managing work (self employed) & my personal life. Literally not enough hours in the day.
I am due to close my shop in 5mins for the day. It shall be closed for the public but I shall be here for awhile longer to assure I meet tomorrows deadlines. I love it mind and my acheievements so far and I am sure in the long run everything will be worth it.

Haha, No harm in being big-headed! Claim to fame there!
Sounds like shes had a good feed and if anything like me, eat alot... Have a nap.

People call me many other things.
I was self employed for many years in the UK so know what it's like.
wifey and I also ran a couple of little shops ans spent virtually all day every day there in working hours and beyond.
I loved it to and it was most definitely worth it.
Retired at 39!

Oh really. Thats great! What shops did you run? Not bad to retire at 39! Congratulations. I think I will be longer to retire. Having said that, I might of popped my clogs before I retire the way they are running the country! haha. I do not think I could ever work for anyone again. Having your own business even with all the stresses and pressures is amazing. Love it

 

[johnandjade]

well that was fun :/ good to see old friends though. this afternoon i done 3 cars, my co worker 1 ! i made sure i hit target but it should have been more, already spoken with my boss and have my orders for tomorrow to see if this lad is taking the urate.

Thank you! No thats true. I have taken a young lad on. He seems to be keen, willing to learn and gain the skills in the trade. Part time at the moment but hopefully get him full time after the initial training and his determination to help the buisness grow .

Quite right, too.
I also would never have worked for anyone else once i'd worked for me.!
We had an esoteric goods retail shop, a bookshop and a fossils, crystals and gemstones outlet. But the real money came from inherited properties (both of us), good investments and my telecoms consultancy and oil research work.
What sort of shop is yours ?

brilliant , it's great to have someone on board with a little fire. as the business grows (which it WILL) sounds like you have a good right hand man to keep pushing forward

Maybe he just had a bad day.
Always good to see someone you like that you haven't seen for a while.

especially when they still offer you a job.


we shall see tomorrow, though its a problem across the board... lads don't have eyes on them so you can imagine...

Work ethic, again.
Where'd it go ?

indeed! they all want more money but do nothing to earn it. what ever happened to proving your woth.. setting yourself goals and gaining so self worth and satisfaction

 

[johnandjade]

on that note.. i achieved everything I wanted to today

hit target, reported my gripes, seen old friends.. walked to and from work and hopefully have more work in the garage next door... which will offer me a job as well
