Tell Us Something Really Trivial About Your Life Volume 38

[Bomma R1]

Morning all

Good to see Glenners back in the fold, marvellous. Penrose has set off on a lap of honour around the airfield to mark the occasion.

For anyone still in any doubt:

I have just had a bash at the TTFNSlopesQuiz:

I would have scored a resounding cease pwan. That's 6 pints


But you have to be in it to win it, so fair play to Team Bobbers for winning the no expense spent star prize, and well done to the worthy runners up for their stirling EPNS efforts.
My records show that this was the first TTFNQ where every entrant was a prize winner.

Huzzah!

do you like just sitting on a beach? Go one step further and look at Sri Lanka, especially the trips that travel around the country. Amazing value, brilliant people, fascinating place that changes if you go high to colonial tea country, low to the center, historical ruins etc, towns like Kandy and the temples, then beautiful beaches. The best, most interesting holiday we'd been on.

Bit of political unrest there at the moment.

Yup we went when they were herding the Tamil tigers and others north, but the middle south was fine. I still recommend it as a country, when it's safe.
Checked blimey 2009...
we went basically here:

ALL CHANGE, ALL CHANGE!!!
Getting our picnic ready and it's getting darker and darker outside, big roll of thunder and it starts pissing down, I don't think we're going anywhere today!!!

Well fk me. I thought you were stuck in hospital having an endless round of enemas.

Don’t know why really, just seemed more appropriate than say blood tests.

My 81 yr old muvver's got one o' them there Enemas - 3 litre v6 Toymotor version. Bit quicker than th rubber band 4 cylinder jobbie.

Are you not thinking of VW Anemones - one of those cars with flowers all over them

You think you've got problems. I'm driving home from Trivchester and when I pushed the cup holder away the radio came on. This is not a well-ordered universe.

No no , toyota emina - it's a van thing, pretty common over here.
One presumes th VW Anenome is amphibious? Could one cross th Donetz river with it? Baldrick has a cunning plan.

Why would he want a solitary chip when he will have five digits to utilise as he pleases?


IOTN, I'm getting a bit fed up that as I type, the words go out of sight beyond the edge of the screen, and the only way to follow them is to swipe with my finger, but the swiping is only effective outside of the text box margin, which is rather counter-intuitive.

I suppose I'll just have to get used twit.

Do you think a bigger screen would help? The words would have to go further before they disappear over the edge.

There's an old 50 inch plasma telly in the hangar, I reckon that could be adapted with a bit of fettling. Not the most portable of devices, granted, but worth a try I'd think.

It isnt so much you being telt Foggy dear boy, more so young Bobbers trying to ditch his prize that i was aiming at.
Just because he’s got some fancy new position - giggity - at work, thinks rules don’t apply to him y’see.

And that simply is not on, rules is rules innit.

Well, as Douglas Bader once said:

“Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men”

[Bomma R1]

Mind, I don't know for sure if Douglas Bader ever made it to Brighton either?

Flew over it a good number of times though, I'd wager.

Glad our Glenners is back amongst us, for a moment there I feared he'd accidentally wandered into the 'Flat Earthers' thread by mistake and fallen off the edge into the abyss. Welcome back young man, I know firsthand what it's like to be offline without consent so to speak - a few years ago our old PC had an utter melt down which caused no end of problems for Mrs.P5B as her little home based business depended on it, it took three months to get sorted but she did manage to re-establish contact with her customers eventually.

IOVTN, I had a thumping headache at work last night which probably explains the strange ethereal dream I awoke form this morning, it really was bizarre - I dreamt that my Maserati Biturbo was stolen by Edward Fox wearing a cravat a la 'Day Of The Jackal', he then ram raided a footwear boutique with it and made off with several pairs of shiny black kinky boots. I think a long, quiet lie down might be in order!
