Peppered slices of canard,red peppers,spring onions and stuff along with a crispy noodle concoction. Oh and green haricot beans.
Very nice cooked by my fair wife with magoo assistance.

Agent M thought the canard peppered was a bit spicy but still downed her little bits given.

The Aspirin fizz hand bath has been had by madam whilst talking to big V in North Norfolk.

I'm feeling a bit down if I'm honest,but can't put my finger on it yet.
I've had a beer and a couple of rose's but still not feeling it.

Why no quiz?
In anticipation of the Lounge Bar being full of returning members and current buns, Battert requested a postponement to give him time to re-arrange the furniture and dehumfunigate the area.

I have one ready if you fancy a go, as I realise Station F is somewhat distnanced/discranted/distant from HQ?

Forty thousand congrats to DickyC and long may his wheelie bin roll on (aided by a little push from Bobbers).

Cheer up Magoo! Stick your head in the saloon bar....

It would appear that the crowd celebrating 40 years of Trivia in the Lounge Bar, comprised the Brigadier and a stray dog! Poor show, but at least Battert has only to remove the stray dog before the start of the TTFNQ...

You have a five (5) minute warning to take your seats, recharge your glass and empty the bladder!

I meant to reply to this but got distracted trying to find Mrs Bobbers some waterproof walking shoes she actually like the look of!
What's up Magoo? Somethings weighing you down mate!
