In today's trivia. Buggered home early and changed the inlet manifold and carb.
Hopefully she'll run now without spluttering and blowing back.
Further trivia: we keep getting next doors parcels albeit they're half a mile away but hide away and don't have a house name displayed. I've told them to put a sign up many times. So today's wrong delivery got slung on the pile of others it's a large pack of large bras.
I'll probably dump all the packages in a heap outside their place at night in the mud when it's raining. Tossers. I think there's a touch of traveller in there that's why they like being 'hidden away'.
Would the bra`s be of any use when next needing backup from HMS Belfast, or possibly Hammocks for Glasto?Hopefully she'll run now without spluttering and blowing back.

What was it we're investing?
Was it The Order of the Hallowed TT Wheelie Bin for Bomma when he's able to receive it?Not that he'd want to wear it round his neck, obviously.
If we had skipped the Committee stage and just made it the blessed thing wouldn't be full size. If you remember we had to have a second trophy cupboard just to accommodate it. Committees! They can do so much damage.
OPERATION FRIDAY
This calls for planning, organisation and split second timing. As we had bacon sandwiches yesterday, today we have to have McDonald's. But, as it's Friday, I have to pick up Jamie from the station as well! So I'm in McDonald's having a cup of tea waiting to judge the precise moment to rejoin the queue to order takeaway breakfast for eight and drive to the station at precisely the right time to pick up the boy and drive to work with a bag full of tepid McMuffins.
Should we synchronise watches? I've got the big hand is just reaching Gromit's right paw.

I have personally given an award to trainee. It was a bone idol. He didnt get it
Dad once owned a joinery company.An apprentice had qualified & showed him his certificate, Dad told him to make a frame for it & put it in the canteen with the others.
An hour or so later the foreman said to him that if he was going to have good ideas, could he keep them to himself.
Dad asked why & was told the apprentice had been asking all the other Chippys how to make said frame!!!
On one of my dad's last jobs he was in the Drawing Office when the foreman of the workshop brought in one of the apprentices. He laid a piece of paper on dad's desk and gave the lad a pencil.
"Write one hundred," he commanded.
The lad wrote 100.
"Now write one hundred and one."
The lad wrote 1001.
With nothing else for anyone to say he turned the apprentice round and pushed him back out of the door.
"Write one hundred," he commanded.

Today he would have had to have given him the opportunity to undertake a numerical basics course, only being allowed to turf him if he failed it."Write one hundred," he commanded.
