The good morning thread

[Dan!]

Morning all, back to work today!

You can tell it's been a while when all your work trousers have dust on them!

Good luck Andy

And good luck in the new job Dan!

Morning everyone
Grey and cloudy out there today but still incredibly warm.
Breakfast and a cycle ride and the boozer tonight with mates

What a week that was, filming in London, then Wedding on Saturday, plus football where we outplayed the Swedes and then St Albans Yesterday for a Luxury Wedding show in George street.

Job one, make yourself the highest paid in the company....TICK!

Morning, mental weekend, our charity event went really well, think we raised £8k for the local hospice.

Went swimming in the sea last night and had my first go at paddle boarding...yes, I fell off. Its very difficult and annoying when old boys pass you in their Chinos dressed up to go to the pub, Grrrrr.

Met up at Hamble yesterday afternoon with an impromptu meeting with MAF and Lydine, Sparts and his missus.

So the dip in the sea was after the pub... That always works out well Matt!




5-years today I lost my dad, miss him so much at times...

Morning all. First day back in the office after my hols. That was after I dropped my bike at the local bike shop to fix the gears issue.

Loads to do today so I better crack on.

Morning, all.

Phil - looks like a classy wedding gig but I still can't get round lovely brides with a So Evil numberplate on the Fezza! How about VRG1N..? Fat chance, I know, but still...

Newton, I know how you feel. It's coming up 28 years since I lost my Dad and I still miss him. Always will. The opposite would be far worse, of course!

Today I have been mostly getting p1ssed off with the huge admin burden and cost of Chinese visas. Apply a month before, they say... only you can't get an appointment for three weeks (that's after spending an hour finding the online place to book an appointment where London is actually listed...) and then factor in possible delay and processing time and the net result is too late. My knight in shining armour is a visa agent I've used before who can do it in three days but that brings the total cost to close on £900 for four visas. Bloody nuts! Anyway, back to it.

Have a good week, everyone.

Cost me £600 for one Russian visa couple of years ago, business-multi.

Eye-watering, isn't it? I've only ever gone for double-entry on Russia visas, and from memory even that was about £120. The Chinese visas are just single-entry tourist ones.

It’s the fingerprinting scam I object to too, had to go to that London for it costing me a day, all the rest done by visa expediter but still. And finger prints expire after 12 months the robbing twunts.

The Russians want your dabs now as well, do they? I assume they test for radiation..?

I've heard this about you

It's a reputation I'm happy to bask in.

Morning you lot. Office today. Nothing else.

[Andyk]

Morning C, morning all.....today I shall be mostly ensuring I deliver enough alcohol to South West pubs and club ready for tomorrow's football game. If they win the rest of the week will be unbearable in work with volume shooting through the roof......We need rain and England out....Normality will then resume.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Good morning everyone, this is one of those rare occasions when I sample my own deeds. needless to say that I'll be watching the game tomorrow at 11am...i think.

 

[midlifecrisis]

Oh and my brother in law has 3 spare tickets, he's in Moscow and is going to see us beating Croatia.

 

[2b1ask1]

Morning all, local jobs today but not sure how I’m getting to them! Seems I must get the Volvo fixed.

Have fun all...
