I had to block messages from him in the end as he got so aggressive.


Took a deposit on the Street Triple today at asking price. A very keen buyer. That's the decision finally made for me.

That's not fun!

But well done on finding the buyer.

Flipping heck Gary, you have my sympathy. It is not nice to have this lumped in your plate. Life is shizz.

I heard yesterday that a former retired colleague has terminal cancer, and another serving colleague who only has about 18 months to go has liver and stomach cancer.

I'm going to the funeral of one of my old bosses next week. Cancer got him too

Gripe of the Weekend is getting brake cleaner in my eyes on friday and they're still irritated, probably better it was clean spray rather than brake dust

GOTD: Sorry to read that Gary

S***
Not good! Don't get into a hole.
If your struggling to cope go see your doctor. I'm talking from experience of having a near total breakdown
