There was a film on last night called Locke.

Anyone seen it ?

The entire premise is a bloke talking on a hands free car phone,a succession of calls,whilst on a motorway.

He's the foreman on a major construction job with 100s of tons of concrete being delivered in the morning but he's on the way to hospital to be with a woman in Labour,who's not his wife.

So he gets calls from furious wife,furious staff n boss,worried woman in Labour,nurse etc etc.

I was flicking between this and GP qualifying.

Don't know which was more dull......confused

Road Wars was on too.

Took the OH out for a Drive into Kent, made my way to a nice Country Pub, Only to find it CLOSED! Looks like Pub Tenants have moved on frown

Came back home unable to find any other decent pubs, Sitting here eating Jaffa cakes frown

Saw it in the cinema with my wife. We hadn't thought to read reviews and sat through the boredom.

Could be worse though, could be Girl on a train!

Friend of mine lives near Canterbury, they thought they'd experienced a minor earthquake earlier on. Should I call them back and say it was you taking the old Viper for a run out?

Jaffa cakes aren't such a bad thing though chap. There's worse things to be doing on a Sunday.

I dreamt last night that I had somehow ended up in the old wild west - but that the USA had not yet become independent from the UK. Therefore the general store in town was a curious mixture of American stuff like early coca cola and pistol ammo, and British stuff like fine gentleman's razors and Cadburys chocolate.
Whilst they took took English money, I unfortunately couldn't get them to accept my modern English pounds, despite pleading with them that this was a revolutionary new currency from England and that I was the first traveller to arrive with it.

I've always found the Co-Op in the village fairly civilised. Provided of course Mrs Brassington's not shopping there when I visit.
The remoteness is indeed an issue given the proximity of the towpath. Would a seeping barrage perhaps resolve the situation? Concentrated primarily to the north west of course, thus avoiding any intrusion upon the airfield.
May I just say it's only called a 'Co-Op' due to it being in what was the Almshouse chicken coop. It's actually a front selling groceries for Mr Gussets under the counter trade in laminated photos. He says they are photos taken on the tow path of birds, but from what I've seen they are photos of birds being taken on the tow path. The subtle difference in meaning seems to have increased trade enormously.

Either that or he is Neil Young.

Or both, of course.

This evening I shall be drinking Doombar.

Traditionalists look away now.

I keep it in the fridge.

If you are offended by this, just pretend I have a very cold cellar.

I looked away so missed it. Was it about gantries?

Yes, it was as a matter of fact. I wrote learnedly about the origins in Old English of the word 'gantry' and everyone ignored what I wrote.

I shall now go upstairs and slam all the doors.

Doors slammed. Beer well under way. Neil Young's Heart of Gold booming round the library in the east wing. Marvellous.

Nothing wrong with that. Although at certain times of year you'll be burnt at the stake for drinking it cold in the Kingdom of Kernow.
