It’s a year today since my Uncle Knobhead died, so I spent a bit of time this morning looking through old photos. 
 

He was ten years older than me and it struck me that in most of the pictures he was much younger than I am now. That’s really made me feel old. 

Is that bloke that kept trying to add you on FB?

And the bog.

 

A few weeks ago I was dragged to some tedious, hipster joint with 738 different types of ale, all with added apricots and the like. Seen simpler episodes of Crystal Maze than trying to find the shitter there. Ended up having to ask someone in their kitchen. 

I hope you didnt do a Simon in their sink?

I can still remember him sitting on my knee crying for a bottle. That said said he did the same last week for a bottle of Jura.

I will save the number if its mobile. Then check it on WhatsApp to see if I recognise the picture

Permanently fucking cold to the point I can't be arsed doing anything.

 

I promised myself to get trim after Christmas, I've got a garage with treadmill, turbo trainer road bike, punch bag hanging from rafters, weights, the lot but I just cannot be bothered to venture out there after being in work all day and facing the cold.

Is this a euphemism for pissing the bed?

[Lee909]

Fell asleep and woke up with 10 minutes left of tonight's games on tv. I dare not move my legs, trying to slowly stretch them. Have cramp ready to kick in, in both bloody calfs
