Here we go 2, 3, 4.

Right then, here we are all blogged up with the afternoon off, waiting for the double glazing guy to come round and "give me a price" for my windows and doors.
This should be a laugh. I invited one of these types into my home about 10 years ago, and after 4 hours of "have you considered" and "of course this makes you eligible for a 400% discount if you fit this on the 5th Wednesday in February when the mist is on the swonickles" My soul left my body and buggered off down the pub without me.
Old Dive was banging on about Jehovah's witnesses, evangelists et al. They have nothing on this crowd, but needs must when the north wind blows and you are too tight to put the heating on while you can still feel your fingers.
By the way, my best advice for the God botherers is just to say " thanks but I am a Jedi Knight" and shut the door while smiling. A "give blood" sticker next to the doorbell can also keep certain persuasions at bay.

Anyway, I was intending to elaborate a little about me and what I do when I get time off from the Simian Deity duties.
I don't feel middle aged but am not too sure if 45 fits in that category. My job keeps me young ha ha.
Senior process engineer for body and paint is my official title but "you there" or "Can you just" also fit the bill.
I work for a company with a huge history in motor sport and a world renowned reputation for creating cars with un-paralleled ride & handling. We are in Norfolk so no prizes for guessing, and no negative comments about lots of trouble, usually serious. I am very proud of where I work and our history and I get very defensive about it. (Old Git Syndrome I suppose).
I am involved in everything which concerns body structures and coatings within manufacturing, which can be much more interesting than it sounds.
It has taken me to lots of nice places around the world, and I get to play with all the future projects and latest composites and paint systems. I also have a couple of small specialist departments to run within the paint shop.
I love my job but it can be a pain in the arse at times.

O.K. I have finished with the work thing for now, you can all wake up.

I am also a big rugby union fan. I have followed Leicester Tigers for more years than I choose to remember and I get to games when I can, but as Welford Road (home ground) is always sold out weeks in advance and is also a 3 hour drive from my home, it is not very easy.
I am off to Twickenham on Sunday to watch England take on the All Blacks. Beating them will be a big challenge but I'm sure it will be a cracking game whatever the result.

Is that the doorbell I hear? Quick, where is my light sabre and severed goats head just in case?

I think I hear the sacred "20mm air gap" chant of the double glazing guild, let's see what happens..........
