Can I ask who participated in the "rev up" yesterday and what cars were used ?
From the list,I guess Swerni did seeing as he has 3 V8s in his garage.
A roofless orange oneFrom the list,I guess Swerni did seeing as he has 3 V8s in his garage.
Followed by a roofless red one
Then a red one with a roof
A roofless yellow & green one, no doors either
And finally a very dark grey one with a roof
Does that help?

My God chap, I didn't know those memoirs existed. Do you have copies?
There was a single copy left, written naturally in the blood of the Bolsheviks, and with a bullet hole though the centre as she clutched it to her ample chest in defence.

So the Ruski Virgins are actually in Banking? Little wonder the economy's shot to b

The problem was, in my official capacity of Getter Out Of Things Under Cupboards, I had incorrectly assessed the nature of the extraction and had called for my stick. The stick is like a wooden rule but without markings. So when I lowered myself to my knees with my Official Stick and looked under the cupboard I could see - everyone could see - that I would have been able to retrieve the object without either resorting to The Stick, dirtying my shirt's double cuffs or getting my arm stuck. This was a very awkward situation but my plans to pursue a career in junk were well advanced and I wouldn't be penniless if invited to resign. The small shop in Reading I had been discreetly enquiring about would make a fine junk shop. It's true I did only have twelve pieces of junk but, as I said, it is only a small shop. The junk shop scheme would provide my salvation. It's true it wouldn't be a liveried role in a great household but it would provide an income.
Dicky, this 'getting things out from under cupboards' business chap - if I may make a suggestion, would it not help if the cupboard in question were to be raised from the ground to facilitate removal of said 'thing'?
I've no doubt V6 could offer some practical advice on the lifting front if you think it may be a way forward with future retrievals.
