Tree fellers walk into a pub, (add your own punchline)

Was it the royal oak by any chance ?

We're going to Norfolk this weekend!

Sister in law 's birthday 

I think we're going in the car not the campervan for a change 

[S-Westerly]

This weekend we are in Abidjan where I'm due to change more than half the crew and officers. Company are moaning about the cost but are sucking it up anyway.

But @S-Westerly lots of people sail single handed

This weekend I will be mostly drinking and eating.

So they do, done it myself on a 10m boat. Bit difficult on one of these although a well known Danish company did operate with a crew of 13. However they did no maintenance at all purely operated it to get from A to B and eventually it ended in tears.

So how many crew do you have @S-Westerly, aren't you on a tanker?

[Fish]

Saturday should be a polite bimble out for the day, shooting sunday and Mayday run to Hastings on Monday.

Getting dirty with a TRF ride out on Saturday.

Going to the Stafford Classic Motorcycle Show on Sunday.

You might think that Mrs Mickly seems very benevolent not complaining about me going biking 2 days in a row, but I’m not falling for it … It’s our ( well hers ) Grand daughters 16th birthday party next weekend & the party is being held in our garden, so I’m absolutely being set up for a very expensive & stressful time while having to grin & bear it, although I have managed to get a concession …. I’ll pick up guests in my car, but they’ll have to find their own way home, although I can’t help feeling this will entail Ubers at my expense.

Well, having had my fun I’m now gonna be doing the 16th birthday thing this bank holiday Monday

But wait ….  I’ve managed to negotiate another benefit based upon my unquestioning obedience over the event ….. A weekend away at Moto Junkies with the West Midlands TRF the weekend after, … I think this is about as far as I can stretch it

Probably gonna pay sometime down the road but hey

Good luck, been there, try to avoid silly hours now, a combination of getting old and more sensible, I understand the needs must though.
