I was born in the 60's & do appreciate that chap.

All we could afford sometimes, nutritious & economical to boot...

Evening TTers.

I lost a spoon at work the other day. Well, someone pilfered it after i left it in the kitchen post-wash.

I was most displeased, vexed even.

This evening I'm back in the same building, and there it was - sat on the drainer having been left again by he who had it away.

It is now back in my possession, and all is well on the spoon front.

That is all.

Good news there chap, well done on the missing spoon detection issue.

Do you think you may have similar fortune with missing threads?

Well, may I say to the Ladies & Gentlemen of this thread - many thanks for accommodating the refugees of the Banter thread which has now been officially listed as Missing in Action frown

All the Clergy members, the publicans & the Ruski's are eternally grateful, as indeed am I & all the other Satirical Warriors for our temporary respite.

We will return...

Nice holiday snaps, Iva. Enjoying those. thumbup


One of my favourite short (long!) cuts through the countryside when the A3 is being pants is part way through being refurbished with the cheapo surface dressing hot tar and gravel. Not so fussed about that when in the RRS, but I won't be going down this new rally stage in the AM any time soon.
It's such a loose surface that it's possible to provoke oversteer and four wheel drifts in the wagon. I shan't be surprised if a local ends up understeering into a hedge on any of the numerous tighter bends.

Obligatory pic:

Interesting. I note the LR has plate that appears to be 'SS'. Have you inadvertently snapped Adolf Eichmanns jam jar or one of the South American 'Refugees' back to pick up a bit of the old yellow stuff to fund a lifestyle of sun and sex pistols? If so do help out a bit and get the Israeli mob up to speed I believe they have a couple of old scores to settle. We'll be down later to clear up the resultant mess we don't want any fuss.

Snappy 'F-stop' McBrownie managed to get a good shot of the General Banter crew migrating over here, hopefully now we can integrate until safety in the homeland is restored

Morse and Trilby! My word that takes me back. Waiting to see Max Miller at the Croydon Empire and these two Herberts came on. Miller was going to have to be funny that night to beat those two. Whatever became of them, I wonder?

Thanks for the positive vibe about my pic thread Impasse.

Phone managed to post lots before going into intermittent flounce mode.
I WILL finish this one off with the best pics.

Not many left to do now.

It's the law !

You were being mysterious, iva. Folk need links.

I loved scrolling through, looking at all the cars you would associate with historic racing, and then coming across someone campaigning what looks like an ex-Diplomatic Corps Mercedes saloon. Marvellous.

We've got those sausage monkeys surrounded they've lobbed a couple of potato mashers and we've responded with Long Tom which was 'acquired' half an hour ago from Mukleburgh. 'Andy Andy the Armourer is getting HMS Belfast mains loaded and should get the first salvo off before breakfast but is getting in a muddle over coordinates. Tell the Isle of Wight to get some tape over the glazing in case there's an overshoot would you? There's a good chap.

Slept like crap again... despite being much more considerate about late night telly etc..

In other news, just spoke to a coworker who is going to italy for a few weeks, tipped him off to the Ferrari and Ducati Museums in the Modena/Bologna region, he's a bit of a car aficionado, so was pretty pleased with the idea of visiting maranello smile

Could Biffo stand in for me? The Lagonda won't start for some reason and I don't have the energy to drain the engine and the radiator and heat up the oil and water on the stove with Mrs B standing over me going on and on about the interruption to her jam making.

Mirror ball. Check. Shifty DJ. Check. Curtains pulled. Check. Stacking chairs unstacked and arranged around walls. Check. Wooden tables, paper table cloths, orangeade and halves of bitter laid out. Check.

Looks the same to me.

Where are you?

I'm by the orangeade.

This is vintage trivia; good work sir, my triv-o-meter has gone off the scale.

ION I had a boiled egg for breakfast, complete with dippy soldiers. I am a child.
