What happened??
We were taking photos on the Ducati stand next to various bikes. All of a sudden a woman rushes over to Candice and demands to speak to her photographer, telling her "you're half naked" and "we're a family brand, we don't go in for this sort of thing". Very rude, very aggressive. I stepped up and asked her what the problem was. She then starts having a go at me telling me I have to leave and take my model with me....
FYI there was a post on the TDR thread about the bikeshow that was interesting, bearing in mind the above.:

Norton got my vote, lovely lass and an actual biker. She commutes around London on a company bike.

Took me a moment to clock the TS top she's wearing...../

She's very cute.....and I don't even usually go for blondes. But it's not like they'd hire an ug. for the job.

Which oddly enough is exactly what I'm doing today. I got volunteered to cook a roast yesterday. I always have a beer or two when I'm cooking and unfortunately the slow roast needed starting about midday. Now I have a massive hangover and cannot be bothered doing anything constructive today.

Don't forget giving the Lurgy to everyone else in the office if you had gone in....

Fwiw I'm having a catch up day on my admin, all too often it takes second place to whatever fire I'm trying to deal with.

It must be the weather then, I'm off today and I'm understaffed at work at the minute so more work will be piling up.
I have an abscess alongside one of my teeth, just off to get anti- thingys from the dentist, didn't get much sleep last night.

If you feel guilty about it, then I reckon you probably did it for the right reasons...too many people are 'looking' for an excuse to call in, which I just can't get my head around???....But then again I've always done "piece work", I've never been salaried.

Still early here....and I feel like an MTB ride.....which realistically means I'll get as far as lubing the chain & putting air in the tyres, ride it around the block, and then come home knackered and take a nap. Twice.

We've got someone round measuring up the kids rooms to get storage fitted. I hope they supply lube because I get the feeling I'm going to be bent over and taken from behind.

Melting... on night shift so it should be cooler, but at 0400 hrs it's currently 34 deg C and 85% humidity, no wind. I like warm weather but I must admit with the workload I've had on the last few nights its getting quite draining. Trying to balance my fluid intake between de-hydration headaches and waking up 3 times for a leak during my sleep.

Or maybe he was hiding from Sam, seeing as he had already thrown up downstairs?
