    OK, this is a major-league longshot...

    I have to get my workshop extension rolling. The bloke-wot-can has been
    threatening to do it since the Spring, but hasn't. That means I have to
    lay two or three yards of concrete. That means I have to mix and pour
    the fucking stuff. It's all shuttered up and ready to go.

    Anyone around on Saturday? I'll supply wheelbarrows / mixer / concrete /
    beer / bacon butties / undying gratitude / CIHAGM on the BlingMobile,
    etc. You'll supply muscle.

    I'm in North Herts, about six miles from Pixie-Central.

    Actually, I've looked again at the weather forecast, which has moved
    from "showers" to "heavy rain and gales", so I am going to postpone.

    Sunday's out for me, so I'm going to shoot for Saturday the 30th.

    Many thanks to all who volunteered, I'm very grateful.

    However, the forecast has turned shitty for Saturday, so I'm postponing
    this to the following Saturday (the 30th).

    Assuming that my father is not around that day, and you need an extra set
    of hands, I can manage that.

    Yep, no problem at all. I'm busy Sunday marshalling at the Weston Beach
    race, but Saturday'll be fine.

  20. It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
    drugs began to take hold. I remember Nigel Eaton
    Seriously, get a truck in. ReadyMix is very cost effective if you value
    your back.
