work related.
What sort of daily routine does everyone have? Such as opening times, break/crib times, etc. -

Peter, you caught me on the hop!! my brain cannot handle an immediate transaction tonight!
I hope everyones well this evening, and i apologise if i was over the top with James Langton, but he was bang out of order to Warren.
PS – Peter, thats a wicked facelift, and hair plant!

I’m just heading out with the wife for a nice meal 😀
No work on a Friday night is great :lol1:
-
anywhere nice John?
Lots of nice restaurants up your way!
My sister lives just outside of Glasgow in Lochwinnoch, -
erm, if people never wore clothes as part of everyday life what sports would you avoid playing and why ? 🙄 :lol1:
I would say scuba diving …….
…….. reasons are self explanatory I think (more so for a man :lol1: )

It’s still early Friday afternoon here.
I have had a strange week and I am glad it’s over.
You want to know my daily routine?
I get up about 5 am whether I want to or not.
I watch my 13 yr old from my front porch when he gets the schoolbus at 7am. Sometimes a cop car parks beside my house in case some commuter doesn’t stop for the flashing red lights on the bus.
The cop gets a lovely view of me in my fuzzy pink bathrobe.
I get two cups of coffee in me while searching the sign forums and returning emails.
Then it’s either do sketches in Corel or cut vinyl on my ancient plotter or both. I listen to the TV during this, like a radio. Usually forensic true crime stuff.
In between I field calls from clients, watch for the UPS guy, and generally do not get a shower or get dressed until just before lunchtime.
Then it’s more of the same until 3pm when the kid gets home from school.
Then I cook supper and spend the rest of the evening with my 3 kids, bed about 8pm with a good book.
Isn’t that boring?
Love….Jill
PS
If I could get my scanner to work I would upload a nasty old pic of myself from Catholic elementary school as an avatar. -

I must admit, im glad its the weekend.
A stressful, pleasing, rough week all into 5 days.
-
Derek aren’t we all in the outer limit’s 😀 Ian I am also glad for the weekend been a strange week 🙄
Lynn
-
Lynn, glad someone else has had a strange week!
We are extremely busy at the mo, which is good with our big move on the way, and i was really pleased as we seem to be getting an hourly intake of jobs from a local town, Newquay. We must have had two dozen jobs from there this week, and nearly everyone has been hassle!!
Then the dreaded flu has got me!
-
My week has been a series of odd requests.
Would I be able to get reflective purple for a customer to give to his regular sign guy to cut because the regular sign guy can’t get it.
Can I beat the price of $3 per corosign that a customer found online
(NO, mine are $25)
About 30 calls from different mideastern accented people with Yank sounding names like Josh trying to get me to update my online YP listings.
etc etc
Today I had to send a good customer to another shop because my plotter kept eating the tiny letters in his logo.
If I had some booze I would drink it and it’s not yet 3PM. -
quote Warren Beard:erm, if people never wore clothes as part of everyday life what sports would you avoid playing and why ?
I don’t know about sports, but I’d keep away from the laminator. 😮
-
To answer Warren’s question, I would never go outside.
I hate to be naked.
I also hate sports. -
Wouldn’t fancy rugby without my clothes. Could get painful in the ruck. 🙁

just had a wee read at it there in the mods section. 🙄
appears to have run for about 45minutes, which is bad enough.
all i can do is apologies for it folks… 😕now wheres my glass of wine? 😛
been digging and sign erecting all day. simple enough job but the stupidist little errors (none of our own) slowed the install down by about 3 hours… anyway, done and dusted and the fact the customers new housing section opens tomorrow, he will be pleased we met the deadline which means we have two more big site signs for next week also. which is good i guess in the current eco climate. 😀
-
Dammit I like to rubberneck at a good train wreck.
Got too busy actually working then missed the big fight.
Thank God today is over.
Made supper but nobody is home, gonna go up to bed and watch TV.
My bed broke this week, it’s been on its last leg for ages.
I even had Justis put a ratchet strap on it but it was just too far gone.
So now I am back to sleeping in old Grandad’s bed, the one I had when I was still a teenager. Can you grow back your virginity? -
quote Jillbeans:Can you grow back your virginity?
That reminds me of the two Knights that went to the crusades. One was rich and bought a silver chastity belt for his lady. After fitting it he took the only key and set off for the crusades. The 2nd Knight was very poor and couldn’t afford a proper chastity belt so he bought a sticking plaster and applied it to his Lady’s bits.
When the crusades ended the two knights came home and the rich Knight returned to his Lady – removed the belt with his key, and enjoyed a night of passion that had built up over the 6 years he had been away.
The poor Knight returned to his lady – removed the sticking plaster… only to discover it had healed over 😕

Here’s a suggestion for you Rob. Have you ever considered offering an exclusive "platinum diamond" membership that gives access to all the deleted threads? I reckon a lot of us would pay good money to read em 😕 :lol1:

good idea, but proof of age would be essential due to the XXX rating of some, and thats just posts from the girls! 😕 -

Also Skiing in a Kilt can get quite exciting……..
-

Davey Boy, breaking into a new town is so refreshing, put i really cant understand how things can go wrong in bulk! the rule of 3 i can accept!
-
……… and I;ve missed all the fun too. 🙁
as for Warren’s question – trampolining! 😮 -

Damit… missed a good bruiser again….. I was probably counting sheep while all the good stuff was happening. I like a good verbal stoush..
What sport whilst naked? One with very few crowds I’m afraid. And once they saw me naked, there would be no crowd. That said tho, girls have been known to scream, squeal and faint when I take my shirt off. Most yell things like ‘put it back on or I’ll be sick’ though, so I guess its not the same thing?
My last few weeks have been madness. Very few regular clients, but heaps of new ones. I secured contracts for 3 vehicle fleets, all with half wraps, and other clients that have been referred to me… all with large orders.
I’ve not been to bed before midnight any night this last week. 🙁 I’m just taking a break before I start on some artwork for another new client.
Like Jill, I’ve been inundated with someone from Hong Kong trying to sell me a) Gold Bullion, b) Horse Racing syndicates and c) Telco Shares.
Most are called ‘Dave’ or John’ or ‘Ted’, but are so hard to understand as they speak very poor Engrish!! and they don’t understand NO THANKS. 👿
They ring my mobile too, so its hard to distinguish who is a client and who is a scammer….
OK, I’ve finished my second glass of Chardy, I better get back to work 😛
