Splendid, just the ticket . I had my eye on a RHD one that came up for sale a few weeks ago but it's sold now.

There's a fella around these 'ere parts who has a Lancia Delta in the Martini racing colours, quite often see it buzzing about. I'm not sure if it's a genuine Integrale, it can certainly get its skirt up when it has to though.

Ternoov'ning awl!

Good luck with the op today, Dibble, and GWS Mrs.H.

Now, I wanna tell you a story:
Please listen very carefully, I weell say zees ernly wernce.
Last year, on 18th March 2022, we received "Advance Notification of Extensive Roadworks and Interruption to your Gas Supply" ( their capitals ) and informing us that work would start "during the week of April" and last for approx 2 weeks.
They arrived on 28th March 2022, dug a hole in the pavement at the start of the avenue, placed barriers around it for two days, and then filled it back in.

Then each household recieved another letter informing us that work would be carried out from 04 04.22 to 14.02.22 and they would need access to each property to turn off the gas supply for a short time.
They never came.

This year, another letter dated 01.02.2023 informed us that the work was scheduled to take place from 18.02.2023 to 25.03.2023.
They never came.

This morning...

BAZINGA!!! APRIL FOOL!!!

Loads of heavy plant vehicles, vans, dropside trucks, a tarmac cutter saw machine, and a mini-digger turned up at the crack of Doom, dug big holes in the pavement at the end of each driveway, erected barriers, and blocked in any cars that happened to be parked there.
I'll give them due credit, they were bloody quick.
But only a year late.
By 10:30hrs, they had exposed a metre length of gas pipe in a pit at the end of each drive on our side of the road, and packed up and gone.
I hope residents with blocked-in cars weren't planning on going anywhere anytime soon.
I'm lucky, I widened my drive many years ago, and just happened to park the C-Ma_ on the opposite side to the excavated 1 m³ hole.

I am truly disappointed that they are doing this work during the School Easter Holidays,
because it would have been so much fun to watch the mayhem it would have caused twice a day during school drop-off and pick-up aggro times.

Oh we do have lots of fun here oop norf.

Your Utility Co. have a better AF than my weak effort, and no mistake, glenners!

ION: I can categorically state I have not, never ever, had the 'pleasure' of intimate relations with Ralf although I do possess a signed copy by the author, Sir Ranulph Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, 3rd Baronet OBE, of his book entitled 'Living Dangerously', if that counts?

IOTN: Barnfind has disgraced himself by throwing up on the new Axminster!

I am fing starving.

The good news is the consultant decides the bone grapht wasn’t needed when he got in there, as there was enough regenerated bone that it didn’t make sense to remove what had grown to replace it with something else, so I’ve just had one plate replaced with something more “robust”. His word, not mine. Cheeky fker. Tell me I’m fat without telling me I’m fat…

That's great news, Dibble.
Well done mate. Presumably this extra robust plate has enhanced your scrap value, and you can now tuck in to a really good scran! :Nomnomnom!:

That's indeed good news Dibble! Hopefully, you'll be able to tuck into some light grub soon?

Discharged tomorrow?

Behold the mighty fusion cuisine of “lasagne” and broccoli. Simultaneously tepid and hotter than lava, in no discernible order/pattern.



Followed by jam sponge and custard, which tasted better than it looked. Which was an admittedly low bar.

TUSRTAYL(V39) will potentially be getting spammed to buggery (not a euphemism) by me over the next few days, while I’m resident in the ‘orse spittle.

That there Lasagne looks passable, old boy, and the Jam concoction is dated 2064 so you could have kept it for later use, post Armageddon?

Bland would have been an improvement by several orders of magnitude! It was the culinary equivalent of washed beige.

[DickyC]

I've had a call from the Member Reconciliation Team. Can anyone throw any light on this?

There's a message come through on the teleprinter saying "the pheasants are revolting".

I'm not sure if it's a typo or someone has had a poor culinary experience.

There were raised voices and expletives. And avocado. The Duty Officer was in a bit of a pickle when he called.
