Finished work now and a long weekend ahead. Boys are travelling up tomorrow in Charlie's van and bringing Sam's Honda Express Deluxe with them. We'll be taking that, Clockwork Banana, the Scoopy and the VeloSolex to the vintage vehicle show at Brinklow Festival on Sunday so we should have a nice little display. Tomorrow we'll get them all cleaned and polished and do whatever odd jobs need doing.
Payday next Friday which is good. As our accountant is on holiday next week our wages have already been calculated and pay advice issued (overtime from this week and next week will get paid in September) and with the back pay I'm owed it is going to be a decent amount so I should be able to put a fair bit into my savings account. Although I have missed cruising, I think the decision to work through this Summer was definitely the right one.

Although I have mised cruising, I think the decision to work through this Summer was definitely the right one. Good Idea. I found that drinking a lot, going out in small Boats and worrying endlessly about the 368k cash legacy has worked as a strategy for the summer. Its always worth doing these things. I occasionally get incredibly violent nightmares about it all. 87185;4 Quite fun in a way looking back. Really Bad Things happen it gets very noisy then there is an extra big loud Bang and something strategically important breaks. Probably be another one tonight with any luck.

Just got back from the pen (allotment for southerners) a good few kilos of potatoes, all grown from orphans - the ones that got missed last year. The wind had brought a few kilos of apples down too, a crumble is in the making, all the bashed ones and peelings will go in a bucket to make cider vinegar. The rough cider, before it's left to ferment into vinegar, is ok too. A goodly bag of self set Rocket and some chard were harvested too. Spent a couple of hours weeding, now got tingly fingers from the little nettles. Got 2 varieties of Kale, spring cabbage, leeks and runner beans coming on too. It's surprising how little time it needs to keep on top of it. We started it with the No Dig method, cardboard covered with 100mm compost, kills all the weeds underneath, though we did grub up bramble roots and nettles. Not digging and disturbing soil as little as possible encourages fungi mycelium and other goodies to thrive, just add compost on the surface, let the worms mix it in. I add layers of cardboard before filling the raised planters I build with compost. The other trick is to add branches/ logs over the cardboard, before filling with compost. Apparently, as the wood rots it adds nutrients, extending the useful life of the compost, increasing the yield of vegetables grown.

Let us know once you're finished for the day Mr Stabby Rog For which company, and from which depot, is your deranged psychopathic internet stalking/trolling buddy, Shit-for-Brains Coventon, making out that he's working today, eh, Roger Day ? Is today an occasion for pretending that he's travelled up from the false address in Kent - the one he uses to mislead such as the Police and the DVLA - to work from one of Slam Transport's five depots at Coventry, York, Darlington, Dunfermline or Gourock, . . all of which have been alerted by the company's National Health & Safety Manager that they are the subject of unwanted attention and trolling on the internet by a pair of weirdo nutcases named Vince 'Mr Stabby' Coventon and Roger Day ? Or is Coventon's sick mind focusing a little closer to reality today, and acknowledging the fact that a company called Hi-Speed Services, with a depot on Swift Valley Industrial Estate in Rugby has, at least for the moment, the misfortune of employing him ? __________________________________________________________________________________________________ For anyone not understanding or confused by the above post, or unfamiliar with the background and what led to it, the following may be of some assistance:- In a Thunderboat post published on 12 Aug 2024 < thunderboat.boards.net/post/403189/thread > pathological liar Shit-for-Brains Coventon made the following blatantly untrue statement in an effort to avoid or at least delay questioning by Warwickshire Police in connection with multiple past and ongoing offences under the Malicious Communications Act 1988, the Protection from Harassment Act 1997, and the Online Safety Act 2023 :- ". . . I don't live on the mooring. I live in a house in Kent where I pay Council Tax . . " The 'mooring' referred to is one of the residential boat moorings at Colehurst Farm, Rugby, CV23 0PT, alongside the (North) Oxford Canal, close to the villages of Stretton-under-Fosse and Brinklow.

Yes, it must be hard to post knowing all we see is This Post Is Hidden. Talk about banging your head against a brick wall. I don't think he realises.

You'd think he would have realised by now that nobody ever responds to his posts, replies to his posts, likes his posts or even reads his posts, that he's effectively been "sent to Coventry" by the entire community.

There is probably an erroneous belief that other people are reading it.
At one stage there was a theory that dozens of followers were watching.
Also there is the old SEO thing. Misunderstanding how search engines prioritise results.
I suppose if it gives an old person who had nothing else going on a purpose it could be viewed as a sort of community service.
I think we should on balance feel good about this and avoid scapegoating and/or demonising.
Obviously some people actually are demons but that is a different topic.

Anything that occupies Tony Dunkley's time and keeps him away from pre-pubescent girls can only be a positive thing. There has certainly been a sharp uptick in his activity here since the school holidays began and I doubt this is coincidence.

I don't believe anyone who says they have seen a horse fly.

"Jenas, who is married with four children, told the paper he is receiving therapy and accepted he "fell below [the] standards" of the BBC".
To be honest, I got the impression that he was offering these women the BBC.

I don't believe anyone who says they have seen a horse fly. I wonder how they manage the animals. Possibly sone sedatives. We used to have occasional trouble getting the ponies into our horsebox. It was a double type towed by a Daihatsu 4x4. I think the ponies might have known it was over weight for the vehicle but we got them in eventually. No drugs.
