BigTone Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Weekend is upon us again and last weeks hangover is now a distant memory although planning has commenced for next months visa trip with Bahrain the intended destination. Stories have been circulating around the office of my gate crashing a Wedding Party in the hotel in Jordan and of me chatting up some bird whose table just happened to have a spare seat. Thing is after about 20 mins some fella turns up and requests his seat back. It turned out it was her husband which might be why he was a tad stroppy. This was my excuse to move on to the desert table.Have spent all week going up and down high rise buildings checking things out which is a bit knackering in the heat. Tomorrows is only 63 floors which is an awful lot of bloody stairs to tackle.Lost interest in the world cup seeing as my 2 most hated national teams are in the final.Can't wait for the new season to start and have been getting a chubby when looking at some of the signings SC has made.Cleaned the Villa, done my washing, been shopping, had a swim and its still only 10:30am. Time for a kip me thinks.COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTone Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Tone - are they using IOM or Chanel islands to deposit your pay? I only ask because when I worked there, it was the IOM "Manx Bank" and the fee's they charged were astronomical - wondered if things had changed recently? And no, despite almost yearly requests, the King Faisal will not be seeing me back there again!No, mine gets paid into UK bank but because I am not in the UK for more that 183 days per year so I can maintain a tax free status. Remember also that my main residential address is in France. The living allowance is paid to us in cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTone Posted August 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Didn't sleep last night and woke up as GrumpyTone. Had to go to site so decided that 7am was best before it got too hot. Took the lift to the roof of one of the buildings only to be blocked from getting out by a huge pile of rubble. Now we have created ReallyGrumpyTone. Went down to the floor below to be met by 2 Indian Tilers having a fight. This was not handbags they were going hammer & tongs and the 4 spectators were loving every minute. Now we have KillerTone on the loose. Put down my book, camera etc, pulled the 2 knobs apart and announced to them that the only fighting they would be doing today would be against me either one at a time or both together. Both just stood looking at me as I explained that a stint in Hospital would mean they don't get paid and afterwards would they would be sent straight back home to that shit hole known as Mumbai. Both declined the offer as did the 4 spectators when I turned on them. You know what...............it cheered me up and the rest of the day was ok. And then I saw last nights result......................................................................................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

... Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 BigTone? Whilst we have not exactly seen eye-to-eye over recent years, I wish to add my name to those stating you should NOT be be-headed. It would be totally wrong. Without your 'ed attached to your body, how else would all those jokes from websites get transcribed onto this forum - we would have to go to those websites ourselves. This is a time consuming and tedious. If the worst happens, you can rely on your old mate TFR to post something nice about you on the next match day thread. Best wishes, TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
