Weeping with laughter here fellas!
The internet may have increased the sum of human knowledge but has exponentially magnified the sum of human stupidity and confusion.
Many British people find this amusing.

This is no laughing matter, this is as serious as it gets.



Maybe.

Gauntlett? Wasn't he the driving force behind the funding and development of the TT Tandem Bathchair?

Morris dancing is no laughing matter. It's not for the faint of heart.
I've never done it but many years ago I played assorted squeezeboxes and sometimes the mandolin for a Morris side when I lived in Englandshire.
I have witnessed blacked eyes, cauliflower ears, flattened noses, burst lips, lost teeth, broken bones and blood drawn aplenty.
I think drink may have been taken.
Great stuff. Makes you proud to be British.

Greenfield's Spring Sale in '84.

The stuff of legend.

If you must know, I've been in the Armoury perusing the flintlocks

OR

I've been in The Flintlock perusing the barmaids.

I was at a wedding about 40 years ago. There were 50 women on the dancefloor, all trying their best to impale anyone near them with a stiletto heel.

Was as violent as anything I saw in the Luton branch of the Glasgow Rangers supporters club.

Is perusing not outlawed these days?
"He was caught perusing a Filipina housekeeper".
"Good Lord; he looked so normal. Goes to show you don't it, you just can't tell".

To be fair it's a prerequisite for consideration of becoming a resident these days!!!

Last full day on Skye before we high tail it home to the NE quadrant tomorrow.

Yesterday we did more landscape exploring, hills, waterfalls, lochs, small fishing villages etc. We awoke to an eerie mist along the valley where we are staying.



Around midday the coffee and cake siren was calling so we went in search of a place to purchase said delicacy. We happened upon a small cafe in someone’s garden purely by chance. What a lovely little enterprise run by a couple of very engaging ladies.



Here are my two travelling companions lounging in front of the cafe. We’ve been friends for a long time. I love these little places. Food excellent and friendly banter.

I think I’ve mentioned that the owner of the local Chinese take away in Portree moved to Skye from the town I was born on the Kent coast, Ramsgate. Here’s a snap of me with said chap. Small world isn’t it.



Today we’re heading off to the Talisker distillery and popping into the Uig Craft Brewery amongst more exploring. My bird spotting count, for those I haven’t seen this year, is up to 26.

Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywherewavey
Tuesday already, excellent, thanks for the reminder hammo19!

I remember going to nightclubs and seeing similar things back in the early 90's spikeyhead!!!

I remember that I was still being asked for I/D when I was 20!!

Garden's very wet this morning but there appears to be patches of blue sky, showers and sunny spells according to the weather app.

TRIVELOGUE

A trivelogue is a truthful account of an individual's trivial experiences, usually told in the past tense and in the first person.

It's taken a while but we have been approached by an independent TV production company who want to produce a pilot episode to pitch to TV companies.

It was only a phone call at this stage and the production company representative sounded a lot like Battert when he talks posh.

I was still in my pyjamas.
