The Hornet's Nest

Morning all, just a quick check-in before I head off to work from a wet and windy Jersey.

Ak, could you do those of us who are on the diet a favour and put something healthier than donuts on the bar?

 

Góðan daginn til allra. Cappuccino, coffee, tea and donuts are on the bar.

Frothy cappuccinos for al HH Leon and W_Y
Coffees for COYH, Frenchie, Kev, rob and theo
Strong coffee for Sandy
Milky coffee for Yorkie
Strong black coffees for Bragi Norway and zen
Black coffee half hot half cold and no sugar for Charlie
Teas for BHD jsybaz Lloydinio and Millens
Coffee and cake for Minx
Caramel latte for Hornette
A chocolate monster for BBW
Espresso for SuffolkHorn
And a redwine for NZ as he is so ahead of us in time

An early start today and the temperature is still below zero. Everything is grey, the sea, the sky and all things in between, except the snow that remains on the side of the fjall

 

Jsyb they are made with the best quality organic components, even the oil they are fried in is best extra virgin olive oil.
And I could put some fruit tomorrow.

 

thanks for the caramel latte Ak...for the time being, it'll be my only treat of the day! ...it helps fill a gap!

Morning all, off to work, and then a walk with a friend after a healthy lunch...hope i can keep up this PMA!

Morning all - dull but mild day in West West London. As usual, things are as mad as ever....

 

Morning all from a clear but windy corner of eastern bandit country. Really not in the mood for work today, I feel that the day is going to drag.

Thanks for the View attachment 7813 ak, on a bit of a fitness kick myself so will wait till this afternoon before launching into the bar snacks!!!

 

That's it. Class over for another week and I will be missing next week.

Hard work today trying to listen to someone at full speed.

 

Morning all.....

 

Day one of the holidays & beautiful blue sky/sunshine coupled with a balmy 12C - couldn't be better!

I know that the FA officials are viewed as inept - but surely they can't be as bad as this lot!

Ello all. Its sunny and warm, but very gusty here. I put another load of washing out and with in 10mins 2 pairs of jeans had flown across over the garden!!

 

Morning all. Lovely wet Spring morning here. Still October showers make November flowers and all that.
The earth has been restless lately. We've had a number of tremors over 5 with a 5.5 on Sunday evening (not long after Argentina scored, funnily enough). Haven't had the shakes in a while and we all thought we were getting passed that.

 

Sorry to hear that you have the shakes NZ.......could you be drinking too much?

To be serious though, just how long can this continue? Has it put re-building on hold?

See that you are also having problems with oil tankers now.

 

Apparently alcohol consumption has doubled in Christchurch in the last 12 months! It certainly has in this household.
The rebuild of the city centre hasn't started yet. First they have to pull the old buildings down, which is not as easy as it sounds - well it isn't easy if you don't want to destroy buildings that have survived.

 

NZ, do you think that there'll be an NZ v Eng test match in Christchurch when England tour in Feb/Mar 2013? I'm looking to go to one of the three in that series as it's not long after my 40th.

 

Evening all - just listening on the radio that our "world class" striker Rooney might get a 3 match ban for last weeks petulance, this would mean that he would miss the group stages of the Euro's next summer - I wonder if the FA would have the balls not to consider not including him in the squad? I doubt it somehow....

 

I would doubt it. The stadium is okay except that most of the stands are now on a rather large lean. I can't see them fixing it by 2013. On the other hand the rugby stadium will get priority over other things.

 

What's a little lean to be afraid of? Big Ben has apparently developed one worse than Pisa, but nothing's being done about it!

 

I thought that I was the only person not to visit today, but it looks like everyone has a day off. My reason is my new computer at work. I put all my personal files in a safe place and the clever people have renamed all the servers and I have lost them. I will try and find them tomorrow.

 

Sorry to hear you're shaking again NZ, hope it doesn't last long.

w_y, i doubt very much that they'd leave Rooney out...we don't have anyone who can play like him, and we need him. I'm sure if there were other options, he'd not get a seat on the plane.

 

Busy day for me today Ak...not sure what i was busy with now, but i'm sure it was something! lol.

Oh good grief, good luck with finding your files!
