    If Nimes had their kit made by Lacoste it could all get rather confusing...

    Having the idea of using a close up photo of my sweatshirt as my work zoom background while I am wearing the same sweatshirt so that I appear on a call as a disembodied head.
    Made me laugh more than it should have.

    If you call owning a 3 (ok 21/2) bedroom terraced house in east Dartford Massive then yes 😀, all the profits are reinvested back into the company which is ultimately our pension fund for when we sell the company (hopefully this year / next to a large billion dollar multi national company) then yes I might have a massive house after that, but at 68 /69 who wants or needs one. We will probably end up staying where we have lived happily for the last 45 years. In the end we probably won’t benefit that much, yes we will undoubtedly have some lovely holidays, perhaps a holiday home, more importantly we will both spend time together something we have never done in 43 years of married life, and an added bonus of no stress as money will not be a problem (although keeping it safe will be) but the real beneficiaries will be our kids, hopefully they won’t need to work the hours I had to and suffer the stress of managing a large business, let alone the ultimate stress of all entrepreneurs the thought that one mistake and your house has gone, we have been lucky, we had bad times and survived by the skin of our teeth, no help from the caring banks (crooks) now is the time to get out, the fun gone, all my old mates have retired most have died, the industry is now run by financial idiots who only look at the bottom line, no evaluation of design, just costs.

    Bugger - my sense of humor again. I was joking that maintaining your house was costing you £1.1 million a year CK...  Sorry for any accidental offence caused. 🤭

    This trying to be amusing in written form doesn’t work for me, in my reply which I tried to make amusing as I understood yours to be, but I failed totally. No matter, unfortunately after that I got a bit carried away, so my apologises, reading it back it now sounds a bit big headed which it wasn’t meant to be, just that I’m happy for obvious reasons.

    Honestly didn't think that was big headed CL - genuinely pleased that you have got a good result! 👍🏻

    Getting a job offer to finally get out of a horrible soul destroying, energy sapping, depression inducing job that I've been stuck in for 2 years and do something that I will enjoy and actually care about.

    Recieved a fairly large delivery of plants today, some had been damaged in transit, company involved are replacing everything and have said keep them all and see how they get on, just want some decent weather now.

    That my (kind of) god daughter who had her first baby yesterday, gave her the middle name of Leia as she was born on May the fourth. :D

    The fact that Dick Strawbridge's wife was called B. A. Weiner.
  • During our radio show on Monday evening, we had listeners in Canada, Germany, the US, Australia and Greece and also around the UK. Just phenomenal for a very small internet community radio station.

    Currently in the park with my kids, and can see three football matches and a hockey match being played and tennis courts all in use. Such a good feeling watching so many people having fun and being healthy

    Nice to see the trust excelling, although a little off the pace this time.
    As we know some members of staff have been liaising with OB for ages! ;)
