Ironingman would appear admirable as a non member. 55mph is not possible.

I wish to make a complaint.
While I realise that it is acceptable for MGB drivers to drive at 55MPH if they so desire, on the way home yesterday evening there was a 3.8 Mk2 Jaguar driving at 55MPH in lane 2 of the A40 just before Uxbridge. This really isn't acceptable.

That makes you Honorary Governor of the Club. The duties of this post are not onerous. You simply have to visit personally every member and wish him, her or it a Merry Christmas once every Easter.

Fellow members, our esteemed chairman seems to have committed a faux pas:

I am an old and noisy wreck that comes from Solihull, so this photo taken at Lode Lane early this morning must be a selfie:-

I am back to report that I shot the Colonel and then exited* his widow. Am I doing this right?



* some earlier editions of the Internet say excited, but that would be bragging.

No sir. It is well known that while you are not good in bath you are very good in bed, and that you have a French widow in every room. But to the revolver; it is rumoured that you played Russian roulette and the gun went off - but you missed. That is in keeping with the spirit of the club.

Strictly speaking, I didn't miss, but the bullet only went into my head, so no harm done. Normal Club business can therefore resume. I hereby declare next month's meeting closed. The Hon Sec is admonished to pay more attention in future as there was going to be a typo in the minutes for the July meeting, which minutes I hereby approve. There being no further business, the Club was declared numb and avoid. Same time next Tuesday. Bring your own crisps.

I notice I'm still not a member. Well that's ok, because I don't want to join now. I've just been stopped for driving at 55mph by the local fuzz as they thought, because I was driving so slow, I maybe have been intoxicated. From now on I will endeveour to put a 1 in front of the 55. Cheers, I'll have another.....

This has a certain appeal, but I regularly do 70mph in my 2CV, so I guess it's not for me.
