They own a big old farm that's been in the family for generations but I knew that, deep down, they were car people.

My God im confused!

I spent the day driving that lhd Rolls Ghost again & as my ipad is borked I couldnt keep in touch.

So I get home & it seems my offer to adopt the £80 has resulted in a run on the pound, if Bomma`s exchange rate conversion is correct.

I`ve got 12 gallon of Absinthe in my garage, some dodgy geezah trying to flog me Rothmans ciggys, Penrose has been castrated after a boozy lunch, might calm him down a bit, but i think his plumage will be a bit flat for the show & someone had to clean his `bits` off the bolt croppers!

The Bay of Biscay has been carpeted by people in a Sherpa van with no indicators & theres illness in the ranks.

Iva has sworn about filters, the ones on the Rothmans presumably & caused a diplomatic incident of some sort between the Italians, French & Chinese. Oh & somebody else went all out in an Audi, couldnt be bothered to cook, went for fish & chips & then gave them to Penrose!!

Think there was someone getting a personal best on a bike too, or was that the amazonian inflatable sheep?

My head hurts now!

That, Jim, has succinctly wrapped up our Friday, chap. Nicely said.

Without further ado, it's Goodnight from me, and Goodnight from........... Him.............

I saw a billboard advert earlier for blended red wine.

Blended Red Wine

What is the world coming to? I'd thought the likes of Liebfraumilch had died out but it seems the cancer is spreading from white to red

One of my all time favourite wines of all time is blended; Rioja. As I understand it, traditionally three wines are blended to make the stuff we drink. You can buy them separately but as the producers seem to know what they're doing I leave them to it.

Just because I says blended doesn't necessarily mean it's bended with anti-freeze.

Following the triumph of the TT 6th Anniversary Ale, may I enquire how the TT Vintage Vin du Village is going? Do we need more cochineal? Someone suggested beetroot juice but isn't that a bit purpley?

Which Matt have you put it under? The Jason Bourne fellow, the silly bugger who pops up on Rogue Traders, or what?

Oh, Vittie - sorry chap, I didn't realise 'crack' was Lego. You live & learn. My Granddaughter has a bucket of the 'Duplo' stuff. A good thing, yes?

Meant to ask you earlier, how's the thing with New Date? Have you cooked her a pizza yet?
No worries! And yes, duplo is a good thing!

New Date thing, she's in the agenda for pizza tomorrow (i cancelled last week on grounds of not feeling very well)

Last time I saw a sample it wasn't looking a bad colour at all:



I've had Merlot that's of a similar hue (and taste, if the truth be known).

Anyhow Dicky, this Tadpole Farming business chap. Do we move them on as tadpoles or wait until they've matured into frogs? Then I suppose it becomes Frog Farming? The French would be the obvious target market, apparently they eat the legs. God knows what they do with the rest of it, that's their Waterloo...
We would need a good size pond / lake. How if we created one on the airfield, it could double up as a dedicated mooring for the Sunderland?

We could saddle up the Lanc with a tallboy.

One run without cloud cover and pond sorted.

What say chaps?

Apologies the Verger moved it when he left after he stoked the boiler. It's under the semi gloss soft sheen now.

I'm up for it. If it's ok with Dicky, we'll just have to be careful with the Control Tower. I know he's very fond of it & I wouldn't be surprised if it's a listed building of sorts.

It's listing to the Starboard side Captain.

Repairs similar to the leaning tower of Pizza were considered.
