My network attached storage device has stopped working.
Bloody thing.
My people call me the dude. I share my teachings in the passages below... (along with many typos, grammatical errors and lazy writing)

Japanese Knottweed
Damn you!
The property next to the one we are set to buy currently has Japanese Knottweed. Our mortgage provider won't give us a mortgage until we can provide proof that it is being treated and that there is a 5 year guarantee attached.
We were due to exchange on Wednesday next week but that is now looking increasingly unlikely.
Fingers crossed we can get this evidence soon as that's pretty much the only thing left to do.

Burning shit
We had a really nice time at a friend's house last night and at the end of the evening they 'turned on' the chimney thing.
So...
I thought I'd burn some shit in our garden.

Lloyd's is busy today
A fancy sports car is there for some reason, and people are abseiling down the building. Maybe people should do some work...

It's funny how many people you know
I went to 5 pubs over the weekend and in 4 of them I meet people I know. Rugby has a lot to answer for.
Sankey's: 1
P&J: 1
The Wharf: 1 (working there)
Slug and Lettuce: 4+ the guy that was in the P&J
The Man of Kent: 0
Not so good
We popped into what would be our closest pub when we finally move. One of my rugby friends works there and have me a discount but April's not so convinced.
It's what Pinchy would have wanted
Friday night trip to Sankey's for lobster, crab and oysters.
Yum!

Close call
I keep accidentally deleting this post... But here it is for the 3rd time
Close call in boules compression, the measuring tape came out during one close game. April won the tournament. She was the best out of 12.
Upgrade
When I left Gallagher my team got me a set of cufflinks like the set on the right, but I lost one of them. After a year or so of looking on eBay I found the same set on eBay for £39. They're worth £150 new. Result.

How many people can you get in the back of a golf?
4. I lucked out by winning the 'who's got the biggest arse' competition so got to sit in the front seat.

Convenience
Our local was rammed last night, so we decided to head into town to the local weatherspoon.
One of us spotted three two signs conveniently next to each other.
Catteries not included
We took a friend who knows about houses round the new house yesterday and the owner's cat was there too. He's been in the same spot every time we've seen the place. A very nice meowy cat.
They've got a lovely dog too, neither of which are part of the sale, which is a shame.
On the way to a furniture shop today, we drove past the national cat centre, so we popped in only to find that it shuts at 4. Definitely something to do this summer, although there would be a high probability of us coming back with a couple of stowaways.

Champagne at work
A chap at work qualified as an actuary today so somebody found a bottle of champagne in a draw and opened it at 10am. I guess the bank holiday starts early at Lloyd's.

House update
All going well with the house sale/purchase. Probably too well.
Other than the various searches the solicitors have to do and a structural survey which is booked in next Saturday I think we're good.
If all goes to plan well be in by the 11th June. Just in time for me to go on a stag do leaving April to tidy up the house! Perfect.
Why so long?
We have 3 sets of main lifts at work, each with 4 individual lifts. One set is now out of action for repairs until December. What on earth are they going to do to them?
Being on the 9th floor of a 12 story building getting out at lunch and going home can take ages, this only makes things worse.
Twice in early
Twice the guy we were supposed to be in a meeting with didn't bother to turn up.
Great....
