Not a faff at all. Get a skull shaver and a minute a day will see you right.

No entry to the club until the fuzz is gone. Sorry. I don’t make the rules. Oh wait. I do.

Celebrity, not anything more sordid.

Whatever did you think I meant…?

Since I changed role and I’m now generally in city centres when I’m meeting people, it’s much more convenient than driving.

Wasn’t so good when I was visiting clients when their sites could be anywhere in the country.

I hate to burst your bubble but Elanga seems to have been half a season away from being brilliant for at least 5 seasons….

Nope. Already 10 mins late. Which bearing in mind I have selected the train that gives me a healthy but not excessive amount of time to get to my destination is not ideal.

Jokes on you. There’s no such thing as a nice one.

Also whenever anyone mentions them I have to recount this tale. I used to coach my son’s football team. One day I gave MOTM to one of the slightly more overweight members of the team. His mum said he’ll be pleased cos now he gets a custard tart

That’s what we like about you Juan. You are a problem solver.

How did you guess?!

I’ve sat in the window seat cos the other person didn’t show

I shall note my file.

Not sure I’ll be over your way today and it’s a bit of a flying visit. Train back just before 2pm.

Did you remember to add the Antonella tax? For items that you have owned, they’ll always fetch a higher price.

On a train to London this morning. I have to book my train tickets through a specific site and it stores your seat preference. I selected table, window, forward facing. I almost inevitably always get no table, aisle, backwards facing.

Ah now I understand. Wrong side of the Pennines…😉

I thought my first ever bottle of Hendo’s yesterday. Looking forward to seeing what I’ve missed all these years.

That’s almost worth disowning them for. Reeces??? Eurgh.

It’d be like Delilah shaving Samson. He’d loose all his mystical power.

Not the first time I’ve been called one of them! Never sure which one I am though

Ha! Excellent. And if you come up to North Cheshire (or in certain people’s words, South Manchester) there’s a spare bed with your name on.

Feels like our own little self help group.

Today would have been my 25th wedding anniversary…it might be a hurdle I needed to get over. But I already know I’ve made the right decision

Mate this is an excellent read, given where you’ve been recently. Your positivity is coming out and as you know, you’re a week ahead of me on the new gaff. So I know a little of how you are feeling. And also I’m with you on Ten. What a classic.
