Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)

I think I need a new phone. I could try and fix it for ~£20, but if I get it wrong it'll be worthless on trade-in, losing me ~£70. I'm not sure I'm willing to take the risk.

So the lady I mentioned is Sasha Sasha or Alexander Alexander.

Because...

There is a precedent. Richard Rich, First Baron Rich, was a bit of a scoundrel in Tudor times.

The internets say her name is really Suzana S. Drobnjaković, so Sasha Alexander is definitely more pronounceable.

I'm still driving this Mercedes Citan.

It's still st.

Give me back my berlingo!!!

One of my searches is "Draughtsman Newbury Berkshire" with a 500 miles radius.



I was interested to see they had 14 job recommendations so I had a look.

Included were "Water Treatment Operative" and:



Driving a moped for Papa John's pizza emporium in Shrewsbury.

I'll give them a call.

[hidetheelephants]

Draughtsman, pâtissier, comestible logistical technician; there's synergy there DC.

[DickyC]

But not salesman, regrettably.



If it turns out it is just Dalmations looking, that might explain why it hasn't sold. Traditionally, it is a very particular dog that will purchase his or her own boot liner.

I was the 101st; I'm just naturally nosey.

One of the SAR flight from HMS Gannet just flew by along the beach at a slow hover and ~200'. It's all go.

I had no idea they could hover.

He meant hoover.

It's the power-to-weight ratio; just pull the stick back and make like it's an Extra 300. The Senior Service make it look so easy.

[DickyC]

Forgive me for asking, but do you have contra-rotating props?

[hidetheelephants]

No, it's just the way my tailor cut these trousers.

[iva cosworth]

Oof,that Rachel Riley has popped onto my television apparatus.

I should be going down the shop.

I have no bread !

[hidetheelephants]

To the pub, and beyond!

[iva cosworth]

I now have bread and other food stuffs.

The dual carriageway is closed north bound,hardly anybody is taking the official diversion.

They know best .....

[hidetheelephants]

I have now returned from the Public House; ale has been drunk in quantity. A good time was had by all.

[DickyC]

Last evening it was confirmed that on Monday I shall become a professional driver, moving cars - mostly cars with a few vans for variety - around the country on trade plates. The firm I am starting with have several established customers one of whom is Mercedes.
