My surname is Wilce, everyone calls me Wilcey, (not my family obviously, cos that would get confusing all being called the sameConfused LOL )  I think it's only here that people routinely call me Rachel!


and if you google me, I'm not the Rachel Wilce that was in prison for multiple feloniesConfusedConfusedConfused........weird, cos there's not many WIlce's about these days.

As of today, myself and Mrs Syzygy are the proud owners of a 2 bedroom flat! We're moving in about 2 1/2 weeks time, but we're picking up the keys and such on Saturday. This has kept me rather busy (that and having to earn a living) and is likely to do so for the next couple of weeks.

Other stuff: hasn't the boy Murray done good up to yet? CSN were on pretty spiffing form at Glasto, as were The Specials. I really need a new power drill.
 
Oh, and welcome back Steve & Jared.

^ you'll be needing the Binford 5000W multispeed with interchangable chucks, a full range of sds bits, shoulder holster and foot rests for that extra leverage and a shed to keep it in.
What?

Surely Chuck Norris is better than interchangeable chucks?

Great news, Chris.  I'm really happy for you and Mrs. Syzygy.

I was expecting Murray to do well but last night was a bit of a disappointment, even though he did go through.  I think it's partly due to being "indoors" though.  I expect him to beat Ferrero.

If Ferrero wins will he go ro the ambassador's ball?

I'll get m'coat


Congratulations,Chris.Hope all goes well for the impending move.
Make sure you know where the kettle is when you arrive at your new house/flat.Removal men can drink their own weight in tea.

...and a bench vertical drilling  rig and a set of masonry drills if you're in a flat ,  lots of fixtures and fittings to put up - have a noisy weekend, chris! Wink
 
the advantage of living in a flat is that they are easy to heat, and you're not going up and down stairs all day. two bedrooms is a nice touch - well people argue, don't they?  when i was sharing a one-bedroom flat my only option during a "battle" was ...the greenhouse.   i got so accustomed to spending nights in there i installed a comfy chair and called myself a tomato plant ..Ouch
 
 the main disadvantage is space - when you run out of floor space the only way is up, so that masonry drill then comes in very handy... Confused
 
as for tennis i rarely watch it (only with the sound off, there is nothing much to hear except the anguished screams and grunts of the players...it's a  tough life poor things), Murray is a scot and as he has previously stated if he wins wimbledon it will be for Scotland not Britain -  so i will enjoy seeing him get  "Rogered"....Wink
 
  
 
Murray - the Scotch git's going to get Rogered

Spiffing news, Christopher - the flat-warming is when exactly?

Congrats Chris (and Mrs Chris).
 
I'm still trying to work out the connection between The Specials and needing a new power drill. Confused

Its all right Jim, I'll promise that both me and my imaginary friend Ralph will stay away... Embarrassed

That's more or less what my wife said just before the first prog curry.

Why would anybody want to murder an axe? A pint maybe, but an axe?

Thanks for all the kind words and advice - if nothing else, I'm going to come out of this with a stonking great power drill, which means I will need a new set of excuses for not getting on with all those little household projects that Mrs Syzygy gets so worked up about. I mean, front doors are just so bourgeois, aren't they?
