Two people. Happy to help.

Good, next Friday I shall grab a hippy from the street and drag it in for the freebe.

With all due respect, i'm not an 'it'.

Oh DMN you want in on this?
Great see you next Friday.

I'm singing Abide With Me in my head. Over and over.

Well, I would be singing it if I knew the words. I'm lar lar larring most of it.

It's driving me nuts. I've tried to displace it with some Status Quo and some Chuck Berry. But it's no good.

..la, la-la-la, laaaa, la-la la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la-la, abiiiiide wiiiith meeee...

Sake.

[DickyC]

I blame the FA Cup Final.

I eat too much spicy food, pay the price the following day, swear to never do it again, and then fail, repeat.

One of the lads here in Barry is leaving on Friday to start work in Aldermaston next week. He lives near here. I live near there. We'll wave as we pass one another on the M4. Somewhere around Leigh Delamere Services if my calculations are correct.

Whilst he still has fingers and not one webby stump to wave.

I couldn't get in. After I worked at Harwell on the nuclear decommissioning I thought it would be a doddle getting into Aldermaston. Nope, I had the wrong sort of security clearance. I had the clearance for nuclear stuff where the Police carry submachine guns but I didn't have clearance for nuclear stuff where... I don't even want to think about it.

Turning up with my teddy with 'Security Clarence' embroidered on his jumper may not have helped.

What just happened?

[Fun Bus]

Goodness knows.

One minute I'm streaming my local radio station, the next minute it just keeps buffering for what seems like an age.

Normal service has been resumed.

[DickyC]

When I first went to school and computers were science fiction we used to charge round the playground with our arms folded bumping into one another. We called that buffering. I presumed it was railway related but never thought to ask. Then Dr Who started and we changed overnight into Daleks.

Dicky I must admit to a smile at "Security Clarence"

You don't see a brown car for ages, but I've seen a whole raft of them on the way home. A Renault people-thingy, 2 Merc A's and a BM 1 Series (YUCK!!).

Very few cars look good in brown. A SIII Landie CSW, 2 door Rangie, the Allegro and the Stag. BL brown just suited them.

If you haven't already, join the Brown Car Appreciation Society on Facebook for gratuitous pictures of brown cars. The Tesla Model S looks fantastic in brown.

Hi Ali.

A fairly large one, one of those builders type buckets. I've been thinking about it for ages, just can't figure out the ignition issue.

Hi Tim - in the City in the next couple of months?

the only thing that will stay lit in a fall/throw is a Zippo iirc
