dry for 2 days and the bikes going out, the other stuff can wait

Finding out today that one of my fellow PCO's is leaving. No doubt it will lead to more work for me for a bit until they replace him so why am I cheered up by this news...

'Coz he's a proper 'merchant banker' who only has the job as the previous manager ( also a compleate merchant, since sacked for fraud...Didn't like him either...) got him the job as they had history...He was married to the ex-managers mum...


So cheered me right up that bit of news !

I smell a rat !

Quite appropriate reply, considering the line of work! And if anyone can deal with rats, it's Mac!

I used to keep rats a number of years ago - ok, not the feral brown jobs, but hoodies and champagne. Lovely intelligent animals. Up until my Champagne one suffered a stroke, and then turned into a nasty bugger who'd rip yer fingers off as soon as look at you. Kinda went off rats after that.

It proper stinks Lloydie !

The whole behind the scenes story of why the ex-manager got the job in the first place & then lost it, would take a GMB sized post to explain !

I can't type that much so I wont...

My standard line to my 'customers' is that I like mice/rats/cockroaches ect because they pay my mortgage...

Boxes everywhere, can't find anything, cat spent 6hrs hiding in arming cupboard, had to eat my takeaway curry with a plastic spoon, but happy as little pigs

Shame is we think the cat is becoming radicalised and we have had to hid its passport to stop it heading to Syria
