Sunday. A bit cool, but all is calm and serene this Morning. Overcast at the moment so no telling what the day will be like.

Two good rugby matches yesterday. Wales won 23 - 16. :o{ But a good game to watch. England beat Scotland 23 - 15. Also a good game.

Happy Mother's day to all the mums, may you all get spoiled magnificently.

Rugby?

Oh, you're one of those men that likes to play with funny-shaped balls, are you, Boaty?

There are far more important things going on!

Dammm Boaty,. Does the green shirt go back in the wardrobe now, after being washed and "ironed" of course.
Or will it be worn another time?
Fingers crossed..
Get the shape of your balls right Chris ;-).
Those round things just ain't quite right ;-)
No mater what colour.

Morning chris and oz. Guilty as charged chris. :o}

There are the final matches next week oz, so the shirt will be out for that, then it will get the laundry treatment and go away ready for the world cup later this year.

You both OK this morning/afternoon?
>>>Get the shape of your balls right Chris

That's taking cosmetic surgery much too far, 1ozzy!
;-)
Question Author
The effect of that could be quite startling chris!
All good thanks Boaty.

Chris,,,what can I say,,, you win!!!
>>>You both OK this morning/afternoon?

Fine here, thanks Boaty. (And you?)

My only problem is that I'm becoming nocturnal again but I've got to get up at this time on Tuesday (to go and count cars) and my body clock wil be telling me that it's time to go to bed!
Question Author
I'm grand thanks Chris. this thread gets addictive doesn't it. :o}

Going to count cars?
All good thanks Chris..
Ignore the messages from the body clock..Time is what you make of it..
..Not sure that was helpful.
Question Author
Had a good day oz?
Sure have Boaty..
Every day is a good,un here.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
About yooz?

Spent some time with my head and arms in an engine bay, It needed to be done.
Then I found a way to enjoy myself, (it included a tad of quality control) ;-)
>>>Going to count cars?

Well someone has to do it!

I work (self-employed) on a casual basis for a couple of traffic/travel survey firms. (I'm the East Anglian supervisor for one and just a helper-out for the other). So I spend quite a bit of time conducting interviews and counting people and/or vehicles.

I've carried out surveys, asking people about their travel habits, on railway stations from Exeter to Beaconsfield. I've stopped thousands of people on parts of the National Cycle Network, from Folkestone to Norwich, to find out how and why they use it. I've worked, with two other supervisors and a team of 45 people, counting pedsetrians around London's Victoria Station and led teams of people carrying out surveys on the Docklands Light Railway. I've also worked on counts and surveys for Hastings Council (about bus usage) and Leicester Council (about pedestrianisation), and loads of other stuff (such as monitoring taxi ranks at 3am and interviewing taxi passengers at more reasonable hours of the day)

Some of it though is simply counting vehicles turning at junctions (although much of that is done by video systems these days). I've got a nice little job on Tuesday (just three hours in the morning and three hours later in the day) counting and classifying vhicles going into a new industrial estate, which (unusually) is just 10 miles from where I live.

Quality control is always a good way to finish a job oz. Standards have to be maintained. :o}

There is another rugby match today, Italy v France. I fancy France for that one.

hi wbm , chris n 1ozzy

yup wbm a good game at Cardiff y'day indeed - had a wee wager on Wales to win - by 16 _ 20 points -- had a sweat on -
think if the Welsh prop hadn't got hurt and the match got stopped for a while Wales wud have cruised it - were on a roll then
Ruddy rugby again!

I thought that at least 1ozzy would be following the cricket. After all, the winners play Australia in the quarter-finals!
Sorry!

I'm forgetting my manners: Good morning, BJ!
Question Author
Chris that sounds interesting. I can see the need for it. Talking to a mixture of people, some of whom I would think you wish you hadn't! A lot of travelling to.

when you mentioned - counting cars ^^
thot u meant watching the Aussie Grand Prix-- equally exciting , so it is
Sorry Chris, my Avatar may show me to be a cricket fan, but Naaah.
I do enjoy watching and playing (Old man sports).
But that is as far as it goes.
