I was gonna say " You won't talk until you poop into the toilet?"
Then I realized I don't know whether it's my brain that makes that sentence sound funny or whether it is actually funny.


Also, 2500 words of utter and complete bullshit in 4:30 hours of writing. No too bad if I say so myself.

Mate, if this is what I'm thinking it is, then WHOOPDI DO!!! Best of luck. Hope it all goes as you wish.
Serious, I'm so fucking jealous of you. Love to be in your position.
Good luck.

Well everything went ok with my epic journey to Italy.
Nearly missed Le Shuttle because of a closure on the M11 on Monday night.
Panicked. But I made it. Everything else went scarily to plan.

Left Calais at 3.15am. Stopped at Shell Sommesous services just north of Troyes.
I arrived when I predicted. Just after 6am.
Diesel levels were also as I had predicted. The next stop was at Aire de Repos de Marmont services on the A39.
North of Bourg en Bresse. Again, when and how I thought I would. Around 10.30am
The French Toll roads were particularly empty. Even around "rush hour"
Didn't have to turn my cruise control off for over 300 miles!!
I hadn't planned any stops after this, I was just going to wing it. Somewhere around Ivrea or something.
As it happens, the 7 hours sleep I got through the day, at my friends house in Diss, prior to leaving for the channel crossing, was beginning to feel a long time distant.
I was getting tired.
So after exiting Mont Blanc, what a feat of engineering man, I stopped and took a piss, then that was the last time I stopped. Done the rest of the journey there and then. 450 miles!!
I told my agent I'd arrive between 6-8 and I got there at 7.
Like I said, freakishly accurate. Considering I'd never driven through either of those countries before, and more importantly I've never been solely reliant on my sat nav like I was with this trip.
Crazy.

Anyhow, the job is excellent, the cleanest machine shop I have ever seen, by a country mile.
I actually done a double take, I thought it was a lab. Then I was like "hang on, you've got bloody Cnc milling machines in here!!"
Haha.
All composite mould manufacture. The place makes a loss every year, in fact they run out of money every year.
It doesn't matter, it's just a play thing for the Red Bull guy. This fact alone has still got me reeling. When you see the levels of investment in tooling, equipment and plant, you can't accept it as a business model. Then you realise it's not a business. It's some very rich guys hobby.

Wow.

I want to keep these, but I doubt they'll let me.

I did. They may be time yet for living in squalor in Bedford yet.
See what happens after April.

Don't out your job in jeopardy by posting stuff you are not supposed to. Much as I am curious, too, don't mess up potential future jobs. Once the cat is out of the bag as they say... In the meantime, enjoy the toyshop :p I am quite envious - I am a crafter and the idea of a room full of all the best tools... aahhhhh.... not sure the green on my face is going to wash off!

Not quite finished filling them, clearly, but we finally have bookcases! :p it's been a long time. I am also rather enjoying that Malazan, Robin Hobb and Dresden all virtually need their own shelf (and those units aren't small either).

Lovely stuff. (I see those Potter books on the bottom left!)

I'd have to rearrange that top shelf though, that blue one just looks wrong!

Is that your map on the wall?

They look a bit like mine, probably due to having most of the same books - although Hobb didn't make the cut, and I have a nice Black Company set. And most of my Dresdens are on kindle.

So that's the story. And what was the real lesson? Don't leave things in the fridge.

That.... that is so beautiful!

I would kill to have a bookcase like this.

Unfortunately then I would have to kill again to have enough room to put it in
