Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 28)

[DickyC]

Awake here. Just resting from my Try-To-Work-Out-Beatles-Lyrics-With-Little-To-Go-On marathon last evening.

Yes.

I could have looked them up.

I know that.

Awake but tired.

[coopedup]

Red Bull for you Dicky, you know it makes sense!

[Bobberoo99]

I know that feeling well Dicky, seems to be a permanent state with me now, 8 years on early shift will do that to a person!
So when IS the tiffin trolley coming? Had to salve my hunger situation with a fresh warm doughnut from a chap who's leaving us tomorrow!!!

[coopedup]

Having already moved nearly 4000 exercise books up 2 flights of stairs with a dumb waiter that has to be pulled by hand, no laughing at the back, I am bloody starving too, what will be the surprise on the trolley this morning? As long as it is not Doris from accounts again we will be alright.

[Bomma220]

I've got some bacon, eggs and bread rolls?

The Banjo trolley. That's what we'll call it, The Banjo Trolley.

[Bobberoo99]

But but but... you can't eat banjos!!!!!!!!!!

[DickyC]

I'd advise readers of a certain age to avoid searching for Banjo Trolley on t'Internet.

[DickyC]

Particularly those of a certain age and infirmity.

[Bomma220]

Banjo? Oh, it's a name that originated in the Armed Forces.

Egg banjo, bacon banjo, sausage banjo, there's lots of variety...

I think the rule is that it must have runny egg in it.

I was once offered a lamb banjo without egg. Mind, that was in Cyprus so maybe they had a different rule there.

Or maybe there was just a shortage of eggs? Not sure, but it was nice anyhow

Understood. I was going to post a link but it would cause unnecessary alarm.

As an aside a "mate" of mine tore his while entertaining his "lady friend", apparently there was so much blood he thought he'd had an "accident!!

Oh Good God that's a different thing altogether chap.

I certainly wouldn't want to see any pictures. As I mentioned yesterday, the Chief Constable still has a look in occasionally and we don't want to get involved any more litigation.

Not this close to the end of the volume, anyway.

[Bobberoo99]

Message received and understood Bomma!!!
I just looked up "Banjo Trolley" on tinterweb, they look well made, do you think it would be possible to retrofit one with a motor of some kind..............

I may have laughed a little more than is necessary at that!!! My work colleagues already think I'm unstable, so sitting at my PC laughing at a picture of an Essex V6 is NOT helping my cause!!!

[Bobberoo99]

OI!! You lot asleep or what??
Time for a noisy trolley dash I think, wake the buggers up!!!

[Bomma220]

I was going to have a quick dash round the lawn with the mower, can't get the thing to run properly though

Think it's fuel starvation. I'll have a proper look a bit later.

I want to leave my misses as she drinks too much but can't as we have a 16 month old son so I need to pretend its all ok so I can make sure he is safe.

Very sad place to be mate, while I understand about your son, living a lie will only make the situation worse. Have you tried discussing it with her? Maybe getting her help? Good luck with it all.

Day off today. All I have to do is drive Mrs C to Norton Canes Services to do a Checkpoint Charlie type exchange where my son-in-law takes her and I get a sandwich and a bag of Hula Hoops. Then I drive to West London to meet my bro who has put a deposit on a Cayman and wants a second opinion before he parts with thirty trillion quid. Then adjourn to a hostelry, then drive home in the later stages of the rush hour. My day off will commence about 11 o'clock tonight.
