Not sure how I've started an argument last night. It all quickly escalated, from me saying, "Well you need to decide what car you want first" to 30 mins later her sating. "I'm.all alone in this world"
Oh ffs.
Actually, it rather helpfully narrows down the options. The Twizy and Sinclair C5 are the only really affordable single seaters around. Oh ffs.
Looks like the car she wants is status related. Won't look at any Skoda, despite the obvious fact that they are all the same as a seat or VW or audi, all if which she will consider. Won't look at electric, despite that she's never done more than 130 miles in any single journey.

I also checked in on Percy, reconnected the battery and fired up the trusty Cologne V6 on the first turn of the key. I just love that exhaust sound! 
Yay - to be fair I keep the TVR on a trickle charger so it always starts first time. I think this is the longest I haven't driven it.glenrobbo said:
It would be nicer if more TT residents could experience a bit of positivity and better fortune than of late.
Would anyone care for a honey roasted peanut?
Mrs B loves peanuts but daughter is allergic so we never have them in the house, however recently shes rediscovered the joy of peanut butter, so with daughter in Wales, I must ask if she's remembered to remove the jar from the house...Would anyone care for a honey roasted peanut?
Heading there later ron, got a couple of days off next week to spend with the grandkids after the rigors of having to work 4 days this week...
Good morning everyone. 24 hours of internetless has been achieved by some bloke with his digger about 20 miles away. He put 6,000 of us out of internet including our local town that is hosting the Olympic flame tomorrow! The organisers must have been having kittens. Huge security operation with the whole town being shut off to traffic for the day.
A very damp and misty start to the day in my little corner of froggy France. Madame M has to cart a load of kids to a local pony club after her regular bus round so won’t be home till after midday so it’s just agent M and I on our ramble later.
Glenrobbo I’m glad the birthday celebrations went well for poppelet and co.
Fout.

Positivity y'say
Too many things going on behind the scenes - rolling hills with donkeys braying and chasing yoofs if you must know - right now so i've kind of done a factory reset.
Ahh Wary Mode, an excellent choice sir but for two small points
1 - wary mode means avoiding people
and
2 - wary mode means avoiding people
All joking aside, i find that i would say 90% of people i interact with have changed dramatically since the pandemic and not in a good way.
So i've decided that if people are going to be a
holes/stroppy/mardy/short/miserable* then i shall adopt the dog way of thinkingIf i can't eat it, chew it or hump it, i'm gonna piss on it and walk away
Obviously this doesn't apply to the wonderful residents of Trivial Towers, a finer and nobler bunch of people would be nigh on impossible to find

Morneve, all!
Bright 'n surly down here, I'm gridding my lions for a gnurly perambulation, followed by a nafternoon visit to Costco, so it will be very much a day of two halves. As I only have a scum-class Costco membership, I have to wait until the afternoon, but at least I avoid all of the powerfully-built Director types.
And obviously trying to avoid the General Election carpet-bombing of the meeja.
Stay safe,..

We have a Costco Chav level membership and can go into ours after 11am and despite going in there at all sorts of hours of the day, it's still full of muppets who think they are above youBright 'n surly down here, I'm gridding my lions for a gnurly perambulation, followed by a nafternoon visit to Costco, so it will be very much a day of two halves.

We were in Canada, we took a cousin to Costco to pick up thinks for thanksgiving next day and it was busy, but we met a Karen with a trolley.
I loudly remarked that I'd finally found the only rude person in Canada, entered into a soliloquy about how as a foreign visitor I'd found how polite and friendly Canadians were, how clean there streets were how we'd really enjoyed our time in their country "and then we met you. Shame on you for forgetting your manners. Please be more Canadian. The world needs more people like Canadians"
Mrs B had walked away, cousin was stood with me dumbfounded, lots of people had stopped and watched, then a round of applause as I finished.
Karen slunk away. It's gone down into canadian family history - apparently they don't do that
Good Morning Trivton!
Belated birthday wishes to Robbopoppetlet, I do hope she has a fun day.
Your correspondent is currently lying on a trolley in the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital being tenderly cared for by the delectable Julie. Julie has a scheme afoot to harpoon your correspondent to select a juicy portion of portside kidney for scientific purposes. Doesn't sound like an awful lot of fun to me but hey-ho.
Hope and trust all present are fit and content.
Moustache, here comes Julie.
I may be busy for a while.

Gude Moaneve Trivialites everywhere.
As Snowy says, "A nobbler bunch would be hard to find!"
I hope your Thursday pans out in a satisfactory manner without too many applecarts being upset.
It's certainly a time of upheaval and uncertaintitty.
One wonders if Independence Day has been chosen because somebody has decided to bale out and fk off back to Kalli Forn eye eh with his offshore assets?
Ah well, "Ne rien changer pour que rien ne change" as they say in Station F.
A time of great change is imminent but I doubt anything will alter the lot of the common people.
It's still a tad drizzly here oop norf.
I have turned on the heating because:
a) It's rather chilly this morning, and
b) I have two pairs of sopping wet shoes that need drying out, so I have placed them on top of a radiator with their laces undone and their tongues hanging out
Meanwhile, it's back to some serious procrastination for this old gimmer, until it's time for me to attend the next phase of my next stage of rehab/return to phull fizzical phitness programme.
After that, I shall be collecting Robbopoppetlet from school and we shall be baking some cake/s of her choosing. Then it's mussels for tea with Melba terst.
She's a strange one and no mistake. Not many kids of her age are into consuming molluscs.
Ah yes, peanut butter, Byker? I use quite a bit of that as a primary ingredient in my marvellous satay creations. Nom nom nom.
I never did get that tattoo on my scrotum:
CAUTION: MAY CONTAIN NUTS
I hope you are all behaving yourselves out there today.
Or at least being careful.
And remember: "There is no fate but that which we make for ourselves."
/Sarah Connor
See ya later crocodiles.

"Afterwards I wondered the less at this operation when I came to know of what fine steel the head of a harpoon is made, and how exceedingly sharp the long straight edges are always kept."

Get her a Stanley Steamer, an upmarket vehicle that befits her perceived status.
Or a Morphy Richards

It's about to go on holiday mode for a couple of weeks as I go home to wales, turns everything off, keeps the house around 11 if needed
