Gud moaneve, one an dawl.
Well, it's "good" mow that I've managed to get the central heating working again - I thought I'd woken up in Siberia, and my boiler was completely lifeless. I then realised that the michaelwave thingy wasn't displaying the time either, and correctly diagnosed that one of the arsey-D switch things on the box where the electricity is kept had had a hissy fit during the night.
All is now well, and I'm fully functioning again. A quick breakfast, and I'll venture forth into the Great Outdoors, once the local bus stop is vacated - I made the mistake once of going out for my early walk just before the prison bus had collected the day-inmates from the local Young Offenders Institution*. I'm not making that mistake again.
IOTN, I'm sure that I heard something on the news about a chap called P-Dicky having his mansion and waterfront holiday home raided? I wasn't really paying attention, perhaps one of you chaps might be able to fill in the gaps?
Abyssinia!

Have you taken leave of your senses, D O'L? Eh?
We are now some days past the Vernal Equinox, hurtling headlong towards what we have been promised will be another record-breaking, earth-scorching, climate-catastrophic, back of the head-searing, man-made El Niño of a Summer!
We should all be attempting to keep what little remains of the last vestiges of our Winter climate to tide us over this predicted period of intense Glowball Scorchio!
Even without heating, the ambient temperature chez glenrobbo is a toasty 12 centipedes!
I have already divested myself of my seasonal thick furry onesie sleepsuit, yak hide poncho and monster feet slippers, and donned my traditional reflective silver Spandex Mankini and designer Phillipe Phalloppes in readiness for the pedicted heatwave.
It's all about Conservation of Cool, see?
Have a word with yourself and get with the times, man!
You'll be thanking me, come July!
This aside, I do appreciate your terminology regarding the prison bus and the Young Offenders Institute Day-Inmates!

Wait...
The Lagonda has brakes?
No. It hasn't.The Lagonda has brakes?
Not for many many years.
That's the problem, _404 ...
Which is why we always have somebody sitting in the back, ready to deploy the boat anchor whenever the situation starts to get critical.
Trouble is, by then it's already too late.

Good morrow fellow Trivialities everywhere 
Well that was a crap night's sleep, awake several times, but I don't feel too bad this morning so I guess it can't have been that bad after all!!
Off to Hastings today, including 3 x 18 holes of crazy golf, our Chiropractor, who I've mentioned before is as much a friend as our chiropractor, was talking about our trip away with Mrs Bobbers when she was there last week, she told him about our mammoth crazy golf session and sent the cheapest plastic trophy he could find on Amazon to us for the winner, here I am practicing my winners stance with it!!!

What you do is get an engraved plate to glue to it as Winner 2024 - Bobbers etc, plus fake a Time person of the year front page...
I know my illnesses are trivial compared to many of your ailments, but I don't do ill, I'm not usually ill and if I get a cold it's usually a week max. Forgive me my man flu rant
This virus thats doing the rounds is simply shocking and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Mrs B has had it since Christmas and seems to be a variant of whopping cough, although docs are calling it the 100 days cough. "No point giving you anything, just have to ride it out"
I wake up like i'm a 100 a day man, and after a couple of hours that settles down, but I've no stamina, by 4pm I'm wrecked and I'm really not doing much, sat at a desk doing development work for a client.
I've gone from producing clear stuff to producing yellow thing gloop again. I've lost weight, rapidly heading down to my teenage fighting weight, I'm down to 9st 9
I'm supposed to be on a client site next week delivering some work. I've had to realistically ask if anyone else is available. I know we are stretched thin now...
Fed up with this now, feeling rock bottom.

Trivton Ferrers Playmate of the Year, 2024
I wonder what led E404unf to enquire about the Lagonda and its brakes. Hmm. Should we fear the worst, assime he plans an off books outing, and acquaint him with the lack of engine braking on lazy V12s in general and the Lag in particular? You know, in conversation. Just work it in somehow. Casually.
Oh dear Byker, that sounds dreadful. 
What with that, plus your impending surgery and your current work situation, I am concerned for your well-being.
I don't envy you one bit.
I hope you'll both soon be able to take some time out to recuperate without all the stress.
As with poor ol' Pequod, we're all here for support should you need it.

I really shouldn't be moaning, I know there's many more people much worse of that me in the towers, but I'm just so fed up with being ill...

And I apologise for my excursions into the whimsical happenings in Trivton while folk are poorly. I should wait until the Parish Council meeting.
There's absolutely no need for apologies, Dicky.These excursions are what makes this place -and all of us in it -so Speshul!
A modicum of cheer in these bleak times are a better tonic than even Battert's Restorative, although it sounds like Byker could do with a good swig or two of his remarkable elixir!

Bloomin eck Byker! You two are properly going through the Rinser old boy! GWS from over ere.
Old Magoo gets good results on his blood sugars yesterday then has a seriously painful bout of indigestion last night with lots of pain rising up under both sets of back ribs! Goes to bed and gets some sleep but to be woken around 4 am with a strange face feeling to find my visog starting to swell on my right side.
It’s still swollen and now puffy but before the swelling was more solid like.
Spoke to paramedics in the night with instructions from them to phone back if worse. Still the same and have a docs appointment at 4.30 this afternoon!
And it’s pouring with rain!
I need a holiday.

Right, there appears to be a lot of swellings, mucussing, and general bloating going around right now. There’s only one thing for it…
…you must all arrange to meet Battert in Lancing, where, without a second glance, Lance will proceed to lance you with The Major’s medieval lance.
Please and thank you.

I suspect he's hoping the Greenfield girls will be on hand to help out.He has form.
