I've just bought a fountain pen.....

scratchchin How would I use some string to hold up my lederhosen?? They don't got no belt loops!!! confused
Mind you, I reckon we could use the old riveter for quick fire Prince Alberts!!!

Seeing as we're doing Kings of Leon favourites, here's mine!!!

She said call me now, baby
And I'd come a running
She said call me now, baby
And I'd come a running
If you'd call me now, baby
Then I'd come a running
I'm on call to be there
One and all to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting
To be there
To be there
I'm on call, to be there
One and all, to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord you know, I'll be there waiting
I'm gone brawl, so be there
One for all, I'll be there
And when they fall to pieces
Lord you know, I'll be there laughing
I'd come a running
I'd come a running
I'd come a running
To be there
To be there
I'm on call, to be there
I'm on call, to be there
I'm on call, to be there
I'm on call, to be there

I don't mean to ask difficult questions, or cast aspersions, but I've just been to check on the old Triv-o-meter and about half of it's missing, namely the leaf spring return damper assembly and most of the pulley belt system!!!!

Incidentally, it was originally going to be called the Cupboard UnderNeath The Sink fund but we thought better of it.

Good morrow fellow Trivialites wavey
No weather report as yet due to not looking outside yet!!
Today I will mainly be working on a machine again, let's see how tired I am tonight!!!

This whole business with the extended Cupboard Under Neath The Sink has me concerned, what if I put something in one of the Cupboards Under Neath The Sink and can't remember which Cupboard Under Neath The Sink I put it in!?!?!?
As for the missing Triv-o-meter parts, I'm sorry to say we won't be having any Triv-o-meter readings until I can find a 1948 Thorneycroft front leaf spring!!!

Champignions? I didn't know you spoke French old chap!!!

With reference to the 1948 Thorneycroft leaf spring, it used as it had the correct spring rate for the rebound dampening system, and it was cheap, I tried the rear springs from a mk1 Ford Transit but they just weren't up to the job, then I tried a drivers side leaf spring from a 1950 Leyland Titan bus but that proved too springy!!!

Just done a lovely bit of griddled gammon with pineapple, cheese and Reggae Reggae sauce on a roll for my dinner. Now I need to wash said griddle. Is the whole sink out of bounds or is it just the cupboard of which I need to steer clear?
No, no old chap, the sink's still fully functioning and draining straight out through the back wall as it always has, it's just since Bomma extended the Cupboard Under Neath The Sink there's some confusion as to where Pushfits gentleman's literature and laminator have ended up, along with several rolls of bin bags, a case of toilet cleaner, a can of WD40, a bagful of clothes pegs, a four year old Sunday Times and a scrubbing brush!!

That's not the half of it old boy, there's a good number of carrier bags too and a few cases of Icelandic descaler / bleach / Cognac, call it what you will.
There's also an AK47 somewhere along with several thousand 7.62 rounds but we don't mention that of course, bit like the Hangar 6 thing.
Is that sodding AK still missing!?!?

Yes, still missing. But I know where to find it, if you see what I mean.
Not really.............but it's a bit like knowing where the bits are to fix the Triv-o-meter but not actually being able to lay my hands on them!!!

teacher Point of order there spikeyhead, there's no such thing as too much curry!!!!

WD = Waterfowl Deodorant.

He often gives himself a dousing with it, I think it also helps to waterproof his plumage.
L'eau De Pilchard i suspect, one of his favourite fragrances!!!

Morning chaps wavey
Not looked outside yet but it feels chilly!!
This morning I have to go back to wemakeplanebits.com and put right the fk up I made yesterday, this entails making a new fixture for the job and explaining to my team leader just how I managed to make such a fk up in the first place.

As you say Dicky, there's some weird views where money is concerned, I used to work with a guy who'd always carry £500 with him in fifties "just in case", however he'd regularly leave his wallet containing it laying around at work, another work colleague would troll through every paper and magazine he could lay his hands on for every coupon he could, he'd try to barter the price down on everything he bought!!!

Any chance you can record your five minute of fame and post it up paua???

Do you not find your dangly bits get a tad chilly ApO???

I spent approximately 37 minutes opening and closing cupboard doors under the sink trying to find a clean teatowel, what on earth possessed Bomma to put the weed killer in the same cupboard as the TomatoRite?!?!?

If the conversation I happened to overhear in The Wasp and Ashtray on the weekend is true, Patel has a whole book of postal orders he's willing to sell cheap!!
