Tell us something really trivial about your life (vol 24)

[pad58]

I'd love join in with the frivolities, but I have my Grandson next to me sleeping and if I LOLed as much as I did last night I might/will wake him.

[Impasse]

I'm kinda sitting here twiddling my thumbs a bit. I've had a beer so can't take the car out for a spin, so am considering walking over to the cinema to catch a late night showing of Expendables. But that will mean putting on some trousers or I'll have nowhere to put my front door key.

'Tis a dilemma.

[DickyC]

While you have your trousers off, do you - or anyone else for that matter - have a copy of the Chinese Hat Collective*? I feel it's about time we broadened the horizons of the innocents on the Ignis thread.

The picture reminds me of the cover of Sgt Pepper's. I have no idea why.

You know if you have your trousers off you don't have to twiddle your thumbs?

You're correct, of course. I could always shave my legs and pretend I'm an expert cyclist. Mind you, I don't own a helmetcam so that fantasy could be problematic too.

Then there's the dilemma of which helmet to attach the camera to.

[Impasse]

Yep, let's face it. It's probably simpler to go to the flicks avec de pantalon.

I don't think I've ever started work at this daft hour in my 18 years of working life.

London here I come.

Take 'em by storm.

Back to work.

0550 alarm was most confusing.

Need another holiday.

[DickyC]

I've just posted an answer in the "Do you have trouble writing the number 8?" thread wearing my serious face. It contains everything needed to explain how st goes wrong with posting on the internet. I have been honest and candid and sound like a complete jerk.

Sat on Jermyn Street outside the Faberge offices. In the same block is a platinum mining company - might drop by and see if they want to mine around the towers?

[DickyC]

I don't know if it's still there but there used to be a tiny display window on the side of Dunhill's emporium on Jermyn Street with some expensive trinkets and a beautifully handwritten card that explained, "The articles displayed in this window are protected by 50mm Bulletproof Glass."

Better run that by the Committee first. The members own the mineral rights and the senior members in particular get a bit awkward about undue disturbance. They're a bit funny about the WI afternoons so a full-house mining operation may prove too much for them.

And that's not to mention the oil fiasco of summer 1971 when the Colonel (bless his departed soul) commissioned the exploration rig to do experimental drilling on the back of oil pockets being discovered in the kitchen garden. He was so excited that he never thought to check whether the heating oil storage tank was leaking.
Halcyon days.

[DickyC]

Reimbursing the oil company for wasted effort was quite a drain on resources, I recall, and may have contributed to the parlous state we find ourselves in now.

Has anyone sold any raffle tickets, btw?

[DickyC]

[EvoDelta]

Blimey. I go away for a couple of weeks and you go and move house without telling me. You remind me of my parents.

Still a bit of catching up to do, but sorry to hear about the job Mr.C.

[Johnny]

First day back at work going well...

Booked a trip to Applecross for October and just had a Wispa.

Not too shabby.
