Tell us something really trivial about your life (Vol 26)

[Impasse]

It's raining sideways down here. Proper marble sized globules too.

I came back to mine via Tesco and bought some of their pre-cooked Hot&Spicy Chicken Thighs from the rotisserie. Oh my, the inside of the car smells yummy now. Of course, I may revise this description to "it frikkin' stinks in there" tomorrow morning.

[Iva Barchetta]

I'm going to predict a lingering car odour.

Pizza is good for this too.

[Impasse]

My festive shaped air freshener from the local Polish wash and vac place might struggle with the chicken based odour, yes. (That's some repugnant st in there.)

I've only just begun to appreciate just how amazingly gorgeous the Alfa 8C is. Way up there on the list of cars I'll own in the next 10 years.

Today we will be contemplating the debt we owe The Velvet Underground.

Thanks, Champers.

In the eighties I worked with a guy who had owned a fifties Plymouth, a humungous great two forward speed device which he had restored in powder blue. Dave Doveston, where are you now? He loved the car but its principle role was to gain him acceptance at a pub where they played Rockabilly and the regulars were all bikers. He was disappointed to find that the car only moved him up to tolerated. But time went by, people mellow and the Plymouth became a fixture in the car park. Then, one summer Saturday evening, with Rockabilly blasting in the function room behind the Public Bar, the door burst open and there was a rocker shouting, "The Plimmooff's on far! The Plimmooff's on far!" The whole pub decamped into the car park where the VW Beetle next to the Plymouth was found to be ablaze. Without a word to Dave or to each other half a dozen bikers broke into the car, released the brake and pushed it to safety. Dave was grateful the car only had blistered paint down one side but dismayed the bikers had smashed as much glass as they had to get in. He wasn't far behind and had the keys after all. He drove it home and - eons before the internet - spent many fruitless evenings trying to source parts. The car was sold for next to nothing and Dave took to enjoying Rockabilly at home.

Living where I do,there have been a few for sale down the road.

You're not wrong,a thing of beauty.

Good story too DC.

Thought I'd try porridge to alleviate my cold. Put too much water in. Added the right amount of oats to stop it being a runny mess. Now I have too much porridge. Added a dollop of syrup - not enough, and the spoon had porridge on (can't double-dip), so tried pouring the syrup by eyeball. Darn viscosity meant I poured too much syrup in, and with too much porridge I can't go diluting it. One of those days.

Sounds like the right consistency and sweetness for Mummy Bear.

Sell them

Pictures? How many have you got?

Yep, I'm going to be selling them!

They have some blue paint on them. I'm going to get someone to blast it off in case there's lead in the paint.

Do you fancy one? They vary between about two feet and four feet in length. I've never sold a radiator before. There's a lot of them - I'll count them up tomorrow. I feel I should advertise on eBay with some sort of 'Many radiators, make me an offer!' type of advert.

I just received a message from "quiz2win" or summat,saying I had 2 minutes to answer 1 question to win a PS4 iPhone 6 or iPad air.

My tinfoil hat told me to decline answering.

Scam ?

By my reckoning we have three weeks before the commencement of Volume 27.

So, unless there is a burst of trivial activity, we're looking at the end of January before we call in the bookbinders to immortalise Volume 26.

A dry stone from the start resulted in damaged done by the pitching (as can be seen on the Ovolo) - Hopefully some will come out on the returns.
