When I met Mrs B she was at college doing Business Studies and had to do a report on Basildon. I drove her there from Southgate where she lived so she could do some research on one of our first dates...

You ask Joyce and Vicky.
They'll put a word in for me.
Well, they say you’re not a blinking thicky, at least. They'll put a word in for me.
And they promise they won’t mention the incident with the rum and ribena…

Obliquely, if I was to mention that a seasoned up hyena could not have been more obscener, you would be able to tell our listener the make and model of car I was driving at the time of this escapade.
Indeed, although probably more derived of Dagenham than the Dolomites that give it its name…Sounds very ID, doesn’t it though; she gave me a right dose of the Dolomites, she did?
Do they have wheelie bins in Dagenham nowadays?Mr Magooagain said:

Coggeshall jobs
The saying "A Coggeshall job" was used in Essex from the 17th to the 19th century to mean any poor or pointless piece of work, after the reputed stupidity of its villagers. There were numerous stories of the inhabitants' ridiculous endeavours, such as chaining up a wheelbarrow in a shed after it had been bitten by a rabid dog, for fear it would go mad. John Ray's 1670 Collection of English Proverbs gives the following rhyme:
Braintree for the pure,
Bocking for the poor;
Coggeshall for the jeering town,
And Kelvedon for the w
e.Other jobs included winching up a cow onto the church roof to eat the grass growing there, knocking down one of two windmills as there would not be enough wind for both of them, attempting to divert the course of the river with hurdles, hanging sheets over roads to prevent the wind from blowing disease into the town, chopping the head off a lamb to free it from a gate, removing stairs from a house to stop flood water entering and some appropriated from other 'fool centres', for example the classic 'fishing for the moon'.[30]
What a cool mug. My favourite is a vintage Snoopy one, it’s in the washer disher at the moment so can’t take a picture.
I spent 5 hours on a marathon ironing session this afternoon. Just got our mortgage renewal quotes, I think this time it’s a clear it off job with our investment savings after all I’m retired now and could do with having that monthly payment in my bank account to live on.

You must be relieved to be able to pass water again, mate.
I believe bladder/kidney/UTI's can be very painful.
I have heard tell that in the Amazon basin, there are tiny barbed fishies that like to swim up the urethra of any person or animal that is peeing in the water.
It's not something I'd be very keen to experience.
