You missed biblical rain in February causing widespread flooding 

The worst 6 weeks in my current profession. Wind speeds were above 50mph for a month solid we were battered by 4-5 consecutive mega storms. 

We soldiered thinking the spring will save us. Then every shop pub and hotel closed

Not to worry they’ll all be back open in time for the illuminations and next bout of storms.

I actually attended that parrot sanctuary that was mentioned on another thread. It’s off Warley Rd.

Their roof blew off in the storms. Fortunately all of the birds were caged up. 🦜

Worst year of my life so far.

You'd assume it can only improve.

Funny how we all view things differently. With due deference of course to the poor, unfortunate sick and departed, been OK for me. Yep, 80% salary and 80% working hours but long weekends every weekend in the glorious Perth autumn have been well received. Caught up on loads of jobs which had built up - plenty of tinkering with scooters on the bike lift (which is always a glorious pleasure - can't beat a bit of engine oil for the complexion).

Don't like meithering fuckers at the best of times so been nice and peaceful on that front. Missing the football of course but the horse racing is still under way down here so having a punt relatively successfully each Saturday, beach every weekend, making plans for a property move in Spain and plenty of other stuff to fill my time with.

My worst year of my life from a personal perspective was a few years back. Don't even want to remember some of that shit.

From a global perspective, yes - probably the worst year I have lived through.

Thought of that parrot gaff watching this other the day

Nah, long swore off girls with extra timber, they'll be gutted to learn, even with massive jugs...

It's for tips for when I get my own (hacienda, not chateau - Spain not France) - there is a really petite posh blonde woman on it though, she's more up my street, I'd play Mellors to her Lady Chatterley.

Her poshness adds much to her allure. 

She looks lovely, but she also looks like she could be a little mental.

You obviously don’t watch it, she a lot mental but I would still love to bang the arse off it. Proper posh as well I bet you get a belting tea and biscuits after.

I've seen it a few times but I have never noticed her. I might have to get catch up on

Oh, she just does posh bird stuff, like making the wee bloke in the tartan do loads of skivvying around.

She needs a firm pair of hands of working-class stock as an antidote to all the chinless wonders she's no doubt been knocking about with all her life.

I'm no stranger to the world of art either, best of both worlds for her.

Maybe I'll send her a self-portrait nude in crayon and see where it leads?

I believe folk send a photo of their cock on social media these days.

Sometimes that little bit mental thing is part of the charm.

Never ends well mind.

Ended in marriage to Mel Sykes for one young chancer iirc...

Not that it'd bother me but I reckon' the lesser endowed probably get shoved (by the girl) into the Weinstein file, possibly reported, whereas your larger lad is considered a potential groom.

I best dust off my tifter and morning suit then...

Not far away from there now mate (15 minutes in the car) but the misuse (intentional) fancies being closer to her relatives in Benahavis. San Pedro de Alcantara or Estepona/Manilva area most likely. I like it where we are BTW but, as we all know, they usually get their way

San Luis de Sabillinas - lovely spot. Not far from Casares which is another possible for us.

Sad year just gets sadder in the Manc household. Just found out that my uncle (Dad’s youngest brother) died last night. Fair fucks, the ex-marine commando lasted 91 years. My mum is now the last one alive from her generation of my mum and dads brothers and sisters and their husbands and wives. Really has been a shit year. Time to dust off the black suit again....
